Dostaf should I have difficulty knowing where to "shove" 'em I can always rely on others to tell me where to shove 'em.

I misread Bentlegs's direction as 'next to l'.
Is that right, or should it be Bentlegs' direction?

You're very flushed, Dostaf. More water!

Don't know what came over me.
At least the problem is sorted.
So I suppose a bit of frivolity won't cause too much bother.

I shall ask Private Godfrey MM for a lend of his bee keeping hat. (I can't think of the real name for them)
It does have a few holes in the face net, but his bee's were rather friendly!

Nothing, Bentlegs. For some reason I got you mixed-up with Nyce horse.
Apologies.
Replied: 23rd Feb 2012 at 19:07

But now the town hall opposition group is they have effectively re-introduced “by the back door”.
Eh?
Here
Replied: 26th Feb 2012 at 21:32
I think the town hall opposition group may need to have a few more words with the press.
Replied: 26th Feb 2012 at 21:40
We could have a 'spot the ball' type comp to guess the missing words.
But now the town hall opposition group is apoplectic and claiming that they have effectively re-introduced “by the back door
Replied: 26th Feb 2012 at 21:47
But now the town hall opposition group says (is) they have been effectively re-introduced "by the back door".

But now the town hall opposition group is proper dischuffed and of the opinion that they (the rotters), have effectively re-introduced free school milk “by the back door

Proof readers need ... to prove themselves.
I wonder if proof reading is done online? A lot of mistakes seem to slip through the net.

I didn't know what petard meant.
hoist with one's own petard
Fig. to be harmed or disadvantaged by an action of one's own which was meant to harm someone else. (From a line in Shakespeare's Hamlet.)
It's worth making a mistake to be able to post that phrase, Dostaf. Shall we take it you missed the 'a' out accidentally-on-purpose?
Replied: 27th Feb 2012 at 15:08
Yes.

I'd sooner drop an apostrophe than a bomb. (Bombs cause catastrophe.)
