Frothing sounds like the animal had eaten something toxic which has now luckily been cleared by its own metabolism.

An accordian player busker on Shirebrook market always brought a laugh because he played the wrong notes like Les Dawson...His dog disappeared one week and the rumour was that it couldn't stand the embarrasment any longer and went in search of a musician!

More likely that 5 million will now go for new carpets in Buck House.

......She made her own stuffing from breadcrumbs and dried herbs.
My Mother taught me that recipe including flour and an egg.....Rare to see now as the bread now doesn't go dry and brittle but turns blue with mould.
My main memory is entering the sitting room around the 23rd where my Mother was with a relative....fully kitted out in a cowboy outfit and guns and saying..."Look what I found under your bed!" I don't recall the outcome.

Not surprised Blucher had a pub named after him...he was a hero over here after Waterloo and undoubtably helped secure Napoleons defeat.

I'm one of several million that won't see a living soul...to whom the Morrisons and Tesco Ads of several generations sat round an overloaded table wearing party hats and opening presents is just an annoying fiction.

I used to infuriate a boss who continually used..."Are you with me?" by stating.... "Yup!...I'm stood right next to you!"
His other use of..."At the end of the day!" resulted in my...."It gets dark!" He was not amused.

Aldi checkout an hour ago...
"Could I use your loo please?
"Sorry no...Health & Safety!"
"But I've always been able to use it when caught short...there are no public loos anywhere near!"
"The police have told us it's out of bounds because we store the fireworks in there!"
"I promise I won't piss on your fireworks!!"I've heard the lot now.....:

Soft...similar to some French cheeses....but unlike them very tasty...and definitely a taste of it's own.

If my Mother had come back as a squirrel, she would have starved to death the first winter because she'd thrown out all her nuts.

Man landed on the moon...I bought every single paper...rolled 'em up in brown paper and put them in the attic for my future Grandkids. Some years later Mother told me she had thrown out some old newspapers along with other 'Clutter' ie all my school books and hundreds of photographs...
THANKS MOTHER!

My last visit was thirty years ago with my young son on a Saturday morning .Parked up a back street and went on the fair.On returning the road was coned off and a cop was next to my car.....Told him the cones weren't there when I parked...he then nicked me for a stolen tax disc and we went down the local nick.
Sat there with my son who was in the next room holding a balloon and wearing a coppers helmet....Cop didn't believe that I had bought the car off one of our Asian brethren already taxed.two days before....Luckily got the cop to phone Evening Post and they read out the ad to him which said TWO MONTHS TAX....They then accepted that it wasn't me on the fiddle....It turned out my Asian buddy had three cars and swapped the disc between them...When I bought it I didn't check the reg on the disc...I just noticed the date.
A lovely fair visit that turned out to be.
