For those that don't know about them The Tamworth Two[^] were famous in the late 90's. I thought they were from Tamworth but I stand corrected, the little piggies were fully paid-up members of the Tamworth breed.
I loved their names, Butch and Sundance; the stuff that legendary bacon sandwiches are made from except that these two survived the frying pan or grill.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Don't be daft. He had them delivered by air mail, and there were no flights from Mercia to Camelot.

Is Tamworth anything like Luton?
Did it make it into the Top 20 Ugliest Towns in the UK?

The best onions I ever ate were grown in a mate's garden in Tamworth.
Spicy, peppery, and hot hot hot. Bluddy yummy.
That should go in the paper.

A few months ago my missus found a bloke advertising somewhere to come and sort out our unruly garden. He's been round a couple of times, sorted it out the first time and a few other light maintenance visits.
She wanted him round again this week as it is my daughter's 8th birthday on Saturday and the patio is a little overgrown and some of the bushes need cutting back but has been unable to get hold of him. So today she phoned someone who she knew knew him.
Turns out he is in prison for having sex with a 15 year old girl.
Looks like I've got a patio to de-weed and a load of bushes to trim back this week.

Well stop faffing about on-line and get on with it!

A local man has just been sent down for indecent assault[^] on some boys. The worse part is the story goes back more than twenty years and the church tried to prevent the story getting out. Yesterday there was a letter from the Bishop apologising to the congregation over the whole sorry affair.

Came back from a 534 KM long motorcycle trip. This is truly a weekend to remember for me. We started from Bangalore and reached Yercaud. Last 30 KM before Yercaud is beyond doubt an amazing ride. Beautiful greenery and 20 hairpin bends. Lots of monkeys too on the way.
Oh, and by the way, I did spent lavishly while my stay. Valley side swimming pool, being amidst clouds on top a mountain and, of course, beer.

Glad you enjoyed your weekend. I think you must have stolen some of my good times allocation.
I have had a horrendous weekend, in fact the last 13 days have been hell, everyday there has been a crisis developing. Sunday morning was the one that took the biscuit though. I knew I had been getting lack of sleep since coming onboard, so decided on Saturday night to have an early one so that I could have a more refreshing Sunday and catch the F1 on the box. So pops off to bed and telly off just before 9.30. That would mean with my normal alarm clock going off at 5.30 I should squeeze in maybe 8 hours sleep if I was lucky. I do remember dropping off to sleep quite quickly, but sadly, I got a phone call at 4am to say the whole world had come crashing down around us and the control system cr@pping itself not only took out us, but also our neighbours. 
Oh what a long day it turned out to be. Today is not much better either. I was att my desk from 06.15 to 11.20 without moving due to morning reports, meetings, handover calls. In fact, I don't know how I never pee'd myself after that length of time and numerous cuppa's.
Thank fek I'm going home tomorrow. Although it is a nice sunny day here with flat calm seas all around, this can lead to a nasty case of fog and the inevitable delays that brings.

You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

Oh by the way, my alter ego discovered that some time ago[^].

I've owned a couple of bikes when I was younger and loved riding away from the city. Sounds like an awesome trip.

Yes, it was. This[^] what road is like for 30 KM. Climbing up mountain and surrounded by greenery. Peaceful.
