Operation Doughnut

It's warm enough for the garden hose Anthony and the neighbours can keep an eye on you.

 

Are you offering to come and hold my hose Sheal ?

I'll pay for your air fair to Birmingham

 

You are so naughty!

 

Hmmm.....now there's an offer...... Kidderminster......never been there but it's the birthplace of someone I hold in high esteem. The price of the air fare......makes it sound even better.

Major problem........I won't fly!

 

But nice.

 

I can only think of Sir Rowland Hill or the Catesby brothers who were actually born here, but, plenty of famous residents.

How about ferry and then a limousine ?

 

A different sort of high esteem I think.....Robert Plant.

 

Sorry Sheal, a famous resident. Born in West Bromwich, about 15 miles from here.

I thought you were going to say Sir Robert Catesby, the man who tried to blow up Parliament . The deed for which Guy Fawkes is remembered as he was the one caught with his hands on the gunpowder.

 

Self praise is no recommendation (As the saying goes)

But, ok ... maybe ...



... perhaps ...




.... possibly ...






..... allegedly ...










.... Dick Emery! ...




... = cliché

 

Guilty! M'Lord

 

You're right of course, my old brain has failed me yet again. He did grow up around Kidderminster though I believe. In fact it's not long ago I read another biography about him, I should remember these things.

Although I read a lot of history I know very little about Sir Robert Catesby, my interest stops at the Tudors and beyond.

 

Dick Emery "M" ?

 

Maybe that was a figment of my imagination ...


... when I was having a manicure?




Oh blow! Was it that other bloke???? "Ooh you are naughty ... but, I *like* you!" ???? Stanley Baxter? Could have sworn it was Dick E

 

Hmmm.....now there's an offer...... Kidderminster......never been there but it's the birthplace of someone I hold in high esteem. The price of the air fare......makes it sound even better.

Major problem........I won't fly!

Think you should request Champagne and Caviar on route as well @Sheal
