Same here but as Alistair was purported to be a very shy man he would never have uttered those words in public.

From a purely feminine view the fact the leading ladies in most of his books are named Mary, or Marie, or Maria is a page turning pull.. Why? Because his wife’s name was Mary.

You have to love a writer who uses his spouse as the prototype for all of his heroines.

I knew a geezer who caught an embarrassing disease off a Warwickshire Lass, I think it was called "Haseley Knob"!

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

I enjoyed a few pancakes earlier on today Solo, I’d never have known had you not mentioned it, the wife was surprised when I told her, she normally never forgets anything, especially when she’s owed a few bob.
So much for the origin of the pancake race, now what about the word “Shrove” I’ve never heard it uttered on it’s own, it’s always coupled with Tuesday.
Shrove_Tuesday
“The word shrove is a form of the English word shrive, which means to obtain absolution for one's sins by way of Confession and doing penance. Thus Shrove Tuesday gets its name from the custom for Christians to be "shriven" before the start of Lent”
Strange word that “Shriven” now try to put that word into a sentence “The wife is shriven me round the bend”, no good, I can’t see a sentence with shrove, shrive, or shriven fitting in with todays language, enter RJ or Spitty, it’s right up their street.


I was watching Alistair McLean’s “Guns of Navarone” on Sunday RJ, a great action/suspense writer.
I thought the Pope was the only one allowed a pompous fart.
I’m afraid I’m not a one for the travels at all, never got any further than Britain, and all around this island, I’ve been a home bird all me life.

travel broadens the mind - you meet more broads when you travel but if you wanna be bossed about by one woman all ya life go for it - we'll just sit and watch!!
