Lionel Stanbrook replied to Emily Montès's discussion Another corking piece of ill-thought through prejudice - this time from the UK Daily Mail"Actually there is no market for that, but I dispute that you are not interested in who is sleeping with whom. Everyone is. Maybe not about people you know but its very interesting when you do, right?"
Lionel Stanbrook replied to Joe Bergin's discussion Smoking when pregnant in the group SMOKE ROOM"I would like to announce that this correspondence has now 'gone American' by which I mean that people are now posting on subjects light years away from the original intent of the first post and has remained entertaining both intentionally…"
Lionel Stanbrook replied to Joe Bergin's discussion Smoking when pregnant in the group SMOKE ROOM"I meant that the question of Stacey's smoking (and her sex life) is nobody's business except her, the father and maybe the doctor/midwife. if she doesnt get a stupid prize from a stupid organization then I am sure she has decided that she…"
Lionel Stanbrook replied to Joe Bergin's discussion Smoking when pregnant in the group SMOKE ROOM"I know this is an unfashionable thing to say but I really dont think this is anyone's business. I last smoked over fifteen years ago and I hate it when people do smoke but I think Stacey should be allowed to get on with her life. The last thing…"

SMOKE ROOM

Smoking is an emotive subject that has touched the lives of most of us so any smoking related topic is open for discussion. Please feel free to add your story or comments and try to keep away from scare stories (smokers have heard it…See More

Ahem We continued to have extreme weather with hurricane force gales blowing a trail of destruction across Eastern France and South West Germany, depriving us and 400,000 others from the Vosges to the Black Forest temporarily of electricity. Although the Barbara Hepworth installation in the garden, Trampoline after the Hurricane (photo attached), actually survived the latest assault and remained in its deconstructed static state, I was at last successfully persuaded to dismantle it. This was a…See More

Great work

Ahem I was dreading my visit to the village Post Office to get stamps for our Christmas cards from the po-faced lady at the counter: she has never been helpful with my innovative requests. At the weekend I had posted some letters with Swiss stamps into a French post box. Alli told me I had to get the letters back before they were collected or they might be destroyed for not being French, er, letters. So, after failing to get an indication from Mme Po-face as to when the letters would be…See More

Lionel's Leymen Letter - Icicles Rummy Benevolent
