I have developed a real nasty trait of late .....it involves the TV set and news presenters and the verbal diarrhoea that permeates from their mouths ....it starts by me turning my head from side to side then i go into my stand up mode and shout all sorts of abuse at the screen !.....wild child has now taken to using gaffa tape the moment i stand up there she is going round and round my ankles....followed by my hands resting on my sides ....round and round and then my mouth...but she leaves a split.... no... not the breath ,,,,,but for me to suffer the indignity of being spoon fed my beans on toast .
