I'll have a 'P' please, Bob

Either a giant game of hangman or someone's letters just aren't sticking.

No time to hang around local shops taking squint photos out of the car window, I had my curry to make and very nice it was too. The chums left sated and full and the house reeks pleasantly of spices.

The other nice thing that happened was that the BT Broadband boys hung around waiting for me for half an hour to return from the docs so that they could tweak my phone line, fix my broadband, sort the wireless, and generally carry out triple the number of tasks they were supposed to. I see the same thing happened a year ago.

Result. My faith in human niceness has been reaffirmed.
