Hullo. Dr. Shenguin. What does 'bbcbnybowp' mean? OTTM: I have a family function to attend for my sister's 50th biffday today. I don't like her, but am duty bound to attend (I've paid for the train tickets). Fucksticks. |

What does 'bbcbnybowp' mean? British Broadcasting Corporation, by not yelling, brings out worst people. Obvs. |

Although it has also been known to mean:
Big boy chimps birth natural young brutally out wrong passage.
However clearly that wouldn't make sense in this context.

Due to a 7 day trial pass to Sky movies I caught up with Ralph wrecks the Internet; clever, too long and occasionally funny 4*, Solo; very enjoyable romp, lots of fan service and rather awkward retro-fitting 4* and Black Panther; a mixture of the Lion King, James Bond and the X-Men 4*
<edit>Preferred Mammal is going to watch the new "A Star is Born". I, of course, only watch the Judy Garland/James Mason version.

Bony baboons chomp beautifully nourishing Yarg becoming over-weight primates.
I think that's it.

I see anything vaguely sensible is out of the window for at least the first part of today.

Thinking of Cornish Yarg, as one does. I'm not sure I was supposed to eat the mouldy nettle wrapping. I've had bowel 'issues' for the last few days. Disagreeable issues. I hope they've got toilets on the train. Lots of toilets.

If you can spare the time, Blackwell's 48-51 Broad St, Oxford OX1 3BQ; by far and away my favourite bookshop - the only one to top Forbidden Planet. Be warned - you can lose hours in here, but for me it's the closest place to a heaven there is:  |

Apparently you can: "...this cheese is wrapped in nettle leaves to form an edible, though mouldy, rind" "It is named after Alan and Jenny Gray, enterprising farmers who found a 1615 recipe by Gervase Markham for a nettle-wrapped semi-hard cheese in their attic. The original recipe is thought to date back to the 13th century." "Gervase Markham (ca. 1568 – 3 February 1637) was an English poet and writer. He was best known for his work ' The English Huswife, Containing the Inward and Outward Virtues Which Ought to Be in a Complete Woman'."... ..and rubbish cheeseman. |

I've just eaten a big bowl of fruit with raspberry yoghurt for breakfast.
I now feel sick.
For the record I didn't eat the bowl. Just the strawberries, blackberries, slices of nectarine, banana and raspberries .

Chumbles
Hudson's in Birmingham was the best. A shop on New St and a shop on Stephenson St separated by a covered walk and linked via basements. There must have been 4-5 basements in total and about 10 different areas of the shop. A proper higgeldy piggeldy warren. There was one ground floor area only accessible via the basement and up a different set of stairs. If you were there you'd regularly see confused customers climb the stairs to leave and realise they couldn't. I used to be in there all the time as I had to pass it to get the bus to school.
While Waterstones is significantly bigger it lacks the confused charm.
Foyles was great when the old lady was still in charge as well. The most convoluted book buying system ever. Also some of the upper floors were amazing. I went to the fifth floor once in a rickety lift. You had to enter the storage area to get to the display books. It's not the same since they entered the 20th century.

I do like the toys though. <edit>Sorry "collectibles" I made a purchase from Forbidden Planet (in Croydon) about 14 years ago, when it was full of SF models and stuff. I paid about £8 for this and a dealer offered me £45 for it 2 weeks ago. I didn't take the money. Great story etc..  |
