A: This morning when I woke up and yet I can't get the terribly vivid ~ and utterly non-representative ~ dream out of my head.

Q: Did you have a set of rarely used Royal Albert china cups, saucers and teapot kept in a glass-doored cupboard in the living room when you were a kid?

A. Yes. My mother-in-law until recently had her "best crystal"
gathering dust in a cupboard - wedding present! She said they
were too good to use. After ridiculing that idea she got them
out the following Sunday and we chipped one. 😞

A: Good grief. I feel as if this question is addressed directly to me. And I do wonder why you would single me out. Gardening? As I said, good grief.

A. Crisp flavour selection is a paradigm of how we all live our lives. There will be days when we are in the mood for something different, a prawn cocktail or a barbecued beef, but we couldn't handle those 'flavours' every day, when for the most part, life requires something plain and manageable.

A: This issue will be moot if the UK votes to extract itself from the grip of Europe's pedantic rules and regulations.

Q: Why was North Korea's 'dog bites man' announcement that it was ready to use nuclear weapons at any time seen as controversial when all nations that own nuclear weapons ~ according to the logic of deterrence ~ must essentially take exactly the same stance about the possible use of the weapons they have?
