Further to my entry below

For the first time, I now have mushrooms growing in my lawn.

Drought?!

Where is this drought? Why can't I use my hose?

It's Sunday morning, it's pouring with rain and my garden is like a Chinese paddy field. These water companies are having a laugh.

Can you believe this?...

My local "news" paper, the Kent and Sussex Courier has wasted a couple of paragraphs on some "model's" dead dog!

This is on page 41 of this week's paper:-

"A PUPPY belonging to glamour model Jordan and her hubby Peter Andre has drowned in their neighbour's swimming pool in Maresfield. The Staffordshire bull terrier belonging to the village's most famous busty blonde was reported missing to police last week, but was only found when the neighbours returned from holiday and found the puppy called Buster floating under their pool cover."

I don't know what's happened, but the paper has gone downhill ever since ex-editor, Mr Giles Broadbent mysteriously left. He was regularly in the press, with his annoying chipmuck smile-gurn, but to give the man credit, he was a bloody good local editor.

I am holding the new editor responsible for the frivolus story about Jordan the model's dead puppy.

Come on! Courier staff. Let us have a serious paper, not a HELLO! magazine.

To season or series?

What is it with the new term "season" when TV moguls talk up their new programmes?

They are "series", NOT "seasons", people!
