while all you girls are glued to strictly I will just correct things here. That done, Stephen, rain at the end of the week I believe.

Not hear in the tropical South East unfortunately

Morning all, I see I am still in the lead despite a lot of whinging from the back, I feel a bit like Lewis Hamilton with all the outrageous carping at my driving style.

Morning John please don't compare yourself with Lewis Hamilton I was screaming at the tv yesterday - could not agree with his tactics - don't like him and his attitude - wonder what his "punishment" will be for disobeying team orders

[qbman1]

Done both have you ?

[Stephen]

Beautiful day today here at Maldon towers. Going to be a extremely cold one tonight though so make sure all your plants and outside pipes are protected.

[qbman1]

How very public spirited of you. Can you pop over to lag my pipes please

[Stephen]

I'm information only. You want labour which is a different department.

[qbman1]

Shall I ask that nice Mr Corbyn then ?

[Stephen]

Who! .

Sorry to totally disagree with you Jan but I thought his tactics were the correct ones, in his situation.
All sportsmen have but one aim, which is to be the best, and in his situation the only possible way to become champion was for him to win and Roßberg to be 4th or lower. And there would be no harm to the team or either driver with those tactics since Mercedes had already won the team trophy, and whatever the result one of the Mercedes drivers would be World Champion.
He was never going to give in to the team instruction, and I thought they dropped the ball by suggesting he throw away his only chance of winning by extending the gap to protect Rosbergs 2nd place.

I think it was all a bit of PR anyway, trying to add a bit of interest to what has become a rather dull procession

[Stephen]

It must be you time for you to go and check your traps.

[Mervyn and Trish]

I'm still worrying about his pipes

[Stephen]

I'm not. .

[Mervyn and Trish]

I am seeking therapy

[Stephen]

Have you tried the Priory

[Mervyn and Trish]

You mean the pub on the council estate here?

[qbman1]

Who! .

Keep up you plonker - "Labour"......"Corbyn" ?

Sometimes I think my sparkling wit and humour are lost around here !

Is she pregnant

[qbman1]

You curl up with your log fire and your woolly vest and don't worry about the big, wide world passing you by !

[Stephen]

I won't .

Hope this frost doesn't damage my pomegranates

Hope this frost doesn't damage my pomegranates

I'm thinking of buying a pomegranate tree next year (and a persimon) - are they easy to grow in this country and have a good yield?

[qbman1]

I think the answer is "yes" if you get the right variety. Mine was grown from a seed about 20 years ago and, whilst it is perfectly hardy and is a lovely looking tree in summer with loads of big, bright red flowers but this is the first year any fruit has actually set and, to be honest, they are on the small side and unlikely to fully ripen.

If you can find one that is specially bred for the UK climate, though, you should be OK

Let us know how you get on
