Hona is an acquired taste.


Would you like to acquire him?


p.s. Personally I would like to keep him as a pet, in a cage naturally, feed him, buy him new sandals or a new dufflecoat occassionally, and, in return, for his bed, board and cage he would entertain me all day with his amusing anecdotes, vivid vignettes and fabulously fertile imagination.:)

Your contributions are always welcome Ted Max but, we both know, Moos is more than capable of speaking up for herself, I'll await her response.


Obviously, regular users of Internet fora are aware of ambiguities and misunderstandings that can arise when a comment is made so they, often, use symbols to avoid the chance of that occurring, but as this has not happened this time, I agree it does appear an "either/or" situation as you suggest, which is why I would like some clarification from the authoress of said remark.

Haha, brilliant, really? Other users of internet forums find that certain comments so very much speak for themselves as not to require unspeakable emoticons. (still others of us find emoticons so hideous that we try to make our language speak for itself)


I wouldn't dare speak for Moos, but have to ask, seriously Tony???


And on the subject of brain fritters, I'm hungry. Anyone got any going spare?

I found a supply of cucumber relish in a pound shop in Brixton, actually it's gherkin relish by your old favourites Branston.

It's not as good as the Bix's cucumber relish which has disappeared from the shelves, it's a little too vinegary, the Bix's stuff had a nice sweetness which offset the saltiness of bacon just right.

And now I come along and find it being recommended as a condiment to accompany fried portions of my brain.

Stone me, what a carve up.

I'm having second thoughts about TLS's offer now.

It's going to have to be a very good offer, that's all I can say.

I've known many respected, intelligent Forumites be misunderstood on various Fora over the years, as some comments can be intrepreted in more than one way.


As you know it happens in life too when someone tells someone "they were only joking" ..other times they make it clear they were not joking at all.

Oh Tony, come now, you can't in all earnestness think that Moos might be accusing you of keeping people in cages?


Unless, unless, oh my, has she stumbled too close to your little secret? Come to think of it, where IS Moos, she's suddenly mysteriously very quiet...

The thing about cucumber relish is maintaining the textural integrity of the cucumber, against the mush-inducing salt and tang of the vinegar and onion. I have no idea who or what Bix was, but if they managed that in a commercial product then I mourn their passing as I would that of a friend's beloved aunt that I have never personally met.


But rethinking this, given this is your brain we're talking about Hona (85% rock 'n' roll, 15% "something in the rag trade", 5% Peroni) I'd recommend something milder. Perhaps a soothing raita.

    • Yes, it would be great to see them nationalised. Along with the other water companies they seem to have a great business model: -submit a 5 year plan to the regulator asking for yearly price increases to cover the cost of improving the infrastructure and get them to approve it - carry on paying handsome dividends to shareholders and eye watering salaries to senior executives  - fail to achieve the infrastructure targets at the end of the five years, make some excuses and draw up the next plan Magic!     
    • Avoid KFH. Agree with other comments that it is best to talk to lots of people.  Also, (not particularly related to the above agent), I wish I had read the reviews a lot more, rather than relying on numbers.  Depending on whether you are renting, letting, selling or buying the reviews often differ a lot depending on the relationship you have with the agent and it is worth checking whether the good/bad reviews match your situation.
