Anyway, after the injustice of masonic handshakes and the like, we went to the supermarket. Why do the pseudo-posh people in four by fours get to park near the entrance? Oh yes, they have children. Don't get me started on 4 x 4s.
When we came home, I was delighted that the indoor bowls was on the telly, live from the International Hall, Ponds Ford, Sheffield. Paul Foster v David Gourlay, what a game. Paul Foster has hair like Tintin, from the famous Hergé books.
Anyway, it all came down to a tie-break. David Gourlay went for a runner, when he should have gone for a draw shot, apparently. 1-0 Foster. With a tricky jack length of 28m, Gourlay drew even, but Foster eventually won 4-8,11-3,2-1.
The other semi-final was between Alex Marshall MBE and Jason Greenslade. (MBE? For services to bowls?). Greenslade won, so we can look forward to a thrilling final tomorrow.

GREETINGS!
From Mrs Maria Elena Fernandez,
I am the above named person from Philippine. I am married to Mr. Rodolfo FERNANDEZ who worked with Philippine embassy in Kuwait for nine years before we left to Philippine where he was re-appointed as a navy officer before his untimely death in the year 2005.
We were married for eleven years without a child. He died in his home country Philippine after a brief illness that lasted for only four days Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $7.3Musd (Seven Million Three Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) in cash concealed in a trunk box and deposits it with a Security Company in Abidjan Cote d ivoire (West Africa) which he declare and register it as family valuables.
Recently, my Doctor told me that i have serious sickness which is cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is the high blood pressure sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church or individual that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavour that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I do not want my husband’s efforts to be used by unbelievers. This is why I am taking this decision to contact you.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I do not need any telephone communication for security purpose until this mission is accomplished.
With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply with full assurance of your assistance, I shall give you the legal proof of this matter and contact of the security company in Abidjan where he deposited the trunk box. I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present and legal beneficiary of this trunk box (fund). I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in Spirit and Truth.
Hope to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Maria Elena Fernandez

Dear Joanna
I read with delight your advertisement for a subscriptions manager in The Guardian dated 29/09/07.
I apologise in the lateness of my reply.
You say in your advert that languages are useful, but not essential. As you can see from my attached CV, I can speak several languages. I would like to consider myself a polyglot!
However, what I find most interesting, is working with my own language. For instance, in work the other day, someone bought some strawberry iced fingers. Inside the strawberry fingers was a layer of strawberry jam. I was concerned that this might be a bit too much strawberry for one snack. I therefore asked the question if this was a little too strawberry-y (like sugary or salty). Try it, it is a great word.
Strawberry-y!
Should you have any queries about my CV, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards
Ian Carpenter

Dear Madam/sir
I am writing regarding your advertisement in the Guardian dated 29/09/07.
Your advertisement asked that I define strategy. Well, according to my Griffin Savers Oxford Dictionary (1984):

2. a plan policy of this kind or to achieve something, our economic strategy.’
I hope that I have successfully defined strategy, and I do hope that you are not asking people to direct a war.
I have attached my CV for your perusal, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Dear Alistair
I note with some considerable interest your position for English Language Sales Manager advertised in The Guardian dated 29/09/07.
Firstly, are you really Alistair Campbell?
If so, I have bought your book, The Tony Blair Years. I have to admit that I have been a bit busy recently, so I have not had a chance to read it from cover to cover. However, whenever I get a spare couple of weeks, I will give it my full attention.
I am not sure exactly what the advertisement meant. Do I have to sell the English language to other people?

Sunday 4th November 2007
We went to a housewarming come bonfire party last night. That kind of works; let's warm the house by lighting a great big fire. I don't know why more people don't wait to complete on their house purchases until a couple of days before bonfire night.
I reckon one of the guests must have been in the Boy Scouts when they were younger. When the fireworks started, they not only pulled out a paparazzi-style camera, but they also erected a tripod! Is it just me, or is that a little too prepared?
Tripod Camera Person: Hello Marge [partner of Tripod Camera Person], don't forget we are going to that party tonight, so we need to get a few things to take.
Marge: Oh yes, I'll get some flowers for the hosts, a bottle of red and a bottle of white wine.
Tripod Camera Person: I'll get a card from the shop, oh, and I'll also pack that really professional looking camera tripod in order to take pictures of the fireworks.
Does that not happen in your house?
I also played a short text game of Mornington Crescent with Simon (Yes the original challenger, to coin a phrase from Danny Wallace):
Me: Fancy a game of Mornington Crescent? Normal Rules, bi-laterals count double. I'll start by sacrificing Seven Sisters: tooting Bec.
Simon: I'm afraid that makes no sense to me. You should apply anyway.
[Perhaps I may have been talking about the project too much.]
Me: Sorry it is from I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue. A game where there are no rules. (you make your own rules up) your turn.
Simon: I take Pimlico and raise you a Cockfosters.
Me: Ah, you have been studying the Karpov Dilemma. Forward counts for three, and I have a community chest. So: Friern Barnet.
Simon: Predictable. Friern Barnet is a type 2 so I have to employ the Yuri Gargarin method. Over the river puts me in a bit of a fix, but I'm afraid it's whitechapel.
Me: Anyway, Mornington Crescent. (denotes end of game)
This is a very short version of the game. I recommend any more serious players to go to the Radio Four message board:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbradio4/F2766775?thread=4082448&skip=440&show=20
There is one game on this board that has been going on since April.
I have to admit that I am looking at the paper, and becoming a little disheartened. Most of the jobs on page ten have passed their apply-by date.

Friday 2nd November 2007
I returned to work today to around 60 odd e-mails. That will teach me for being sick. I set about getting through the madness of what had gone on in my absence when:
To: Ian Carpenter
Subject: A bad day for france
Nobby 2 v 6 Eddie
1st leg southend to brentford
Eddie raced into an almost immediate lead on joining M25 but could not hold on as I entered Hertfordshire. 1 - 1. South Mimms appears to be temporarily French?? 2 - 1.
Imagine my delight when Eddie rammed home a hattrick in the space of a minute! 2 - 4. I must admit to a small shout of 'yes'. Is that wrong? Despite 3 James Irlam pitch invasions Eddie kept the pressure on an the fifth was slotted in just after the M1. 2 - 5.
A cheeky sixth at Rickmansworth finished off the Frenchies. 2 - 6. Bring on the 2nd leg. Report to follow.
To: Ian Carpenter
Subject: Putting England back on the map
Nobby 4 v 7 Eddie
6 - 13 On aggregate
2nd leg brentford to southend
After a wasted journey to Brentford I was looking forward to the 2nd leg with a very comfortable margin. Started well. Two early Eddie's just after M4 and just before M1. 0 - 2.
Needing a pee I turned off a South Mimms. On the slip road I pulled up behind a Nobby. The ref would not listen to my cries of offside. 1 - 2. Possibly enjoying this too much?? A turn for the worse when Nobby brought out the big guns - 2 tankers at the Holmesdale tunnel. 3 - 2.
I suspect the dirty burger van man was making a killing in Waltham Abbey - another hattrick for Eddie!3 - 5.
A straggler just after that made it 3 - 6.
The A12 gave Nobby a consolation. 4 - 6.
I though that would be that until just as I was turning off at the A127 Eddie started to run round the Frenchies with his willy hanging out. 4 - 7.
What a fantastic game of Norbert Dentressangle V Eddie Stobart! 6-13 on aggregate!
This was from my boss, Steve. I can see this game catching on. Not only that, but it put my game on the way to Feltham into absolute shame. Good work.
Anyway, tonight I got in and there was no food in the house. Not surprising, as I had been cooped up in bed for a couple of days, and Nicky has been working very hard. So I decided to test out the Doctor's potion by having an Indian meal delivered. Kill or cure, I reckon. For the record, chicken rogan josh, pilau rice, naan, vegetable passanda, and some onion bahjees.
The chain smoking spider has been on a little adventure this evening. She normally never ventures outside the picture rail, but tonight she was a good window away from home. Perhaps she was inspired by our epic journey to Switzerland last weekend. The picture shows the recently discovered arachnid enjoying the pleasure of smoking.
I have never seen a health warning on the side of a cigarette packet that says smoking is harmful to those spiders around you, so I think I am on safe ground when it comes to the RSPCA and such like. (She is to the right of the pair of gloves for all chain smoking spider aficionados).
What I did notice was a couple more orbs...
