I always do these days!

so DIY should really be Don't It Yourself

(or don't 'it yourself)

I 'ave 'it myself on many occasions. This, of course, explains a great deal.

And you are still managing to function on your own...

[Philip]

Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "And you are still managing to function on your own..."

You really don't want to know about my functions.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

No, probably better not. Its bad enough with David pooping in threads...

[Philip]

If I don't ask, do you promise not to tell?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

We'll brush the whole thing under the carpet.

[Philip]

Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "We'll brush the whole thing under the carpet."

Oh, that's what that smell is, and that odd squelchy feeling.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

You might want to send in the cleaners.

[Philip]

Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "You might want to send in the cleaners."

I've been taken to them on quite a few occasions ;-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Was that a childhood treat?

[Philip]

Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "Was that a childhood treat?"

Given the nature of my childhood, which has been discussed at length elsewhere ( , ) you might well think so, I couldn't possibly comment.

[Philip]

I've been trying to come up with a pithy (no, pithy) phrase that encapsulates - I reckon 'Airplane meets Gone with the Wind' is pretty close to the mark ;-)

The odd like, or even comment, would be appreciated beyond belief ;-)

[David]

Liked, Philip. I've enjoyed all your articles.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

You must be wearing your invisibility cloak again Philip.

David wrote: "Liked, Philip. I've enjoyed all your articles."

Thanks a lot, David.

Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "You must be wearing your invisibility cloak again Philip."

Yep! Only seems to work on here for some reason ;-)

[Philip]

See, told you!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Did you say something?

[Philip]

Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "Did you say something?"

I don't know, I was ignoring me at the time.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

And you wonder why everyone else does?

[Philip]

Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "And you wonder why everyone else does?"

You may have a point there!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Maybe you need a makeover.

[Philip]

Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "Maybe you need a makeover."

I think demolition and rebuilding might be more in order.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Maybe one of those house makeover programs would take on the job...

[Philip]

Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "Maybe one of those house makeover programs would take on the job..."

Yeah, I could have Phil Spencer opening me up for viewing (what a revolting thought)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Kirsty might be better...

[Philip]

Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "Kirsty might be better..."

Ah yes, now there's a thought...

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Time for a cold shower?

[Philip]

To coin a phrase, yay!!

[David]

I had no idea you were so down with the kids, Philip!
Great review btw.

David wrote: "I had no idea you were so down with the kids, Philip!

I think it's more that kids get me down, David (other than my grandson, of course). Thanks, I'm rather chuffed with the review.

[Philip]

Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "Time for a cold shower?"

I'm not sure that finding Kirstie whatsername attractive is particularly 'cool'. Perhaps I shouldn't admit to it, now that I'm 'down with the kids'?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I see - you're selling out.

[Philip]

Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "I see - you're selling out."

Only if I can get a good price (which I doubt) ;-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Not in this recession...

[Philip]

Just in the middle of marking at the moment. Do you mind if I scream? AAAAAGGGGHHH! Thank you.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Here is a loaded gun. Use it wisely...

[Philip]

Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "Here is a loaded gun. Use it wisely..."

It was only a matter of time before someone suggested that...;-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

By the way, I am not suggesting that a wise use involves pointing it at yourself!

[Philip]

Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "By the way, I am not suggesting that a wise use involves pointing it at yourself!"

Ah, I didn't appreciate that. Tempting as the proposition is, I don't think laying waste to my students would be smiled upon.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

But you would be smiling. For a little while, anyway.

You can't say you weren't warned.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

True enough. But I thought I could handle it...

Ah, if I had a pound for every time I've heard that...
