I still have my Tufty Club badge... not that that means much as you can buy the same for 99p on eBay!
I refused to join any club that would have me as a member. |

I thought my amended signature would have confirmed that! |

An interesting discussion may arise from a comparison between a verbal contract (that is, one generally expressed in written words) and an oral contract (that is, one using spoken words rather than written words). Both are apparently enforceable. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_contract   |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

I'm told I have a speech impediment - leaving out my arse (or is that r-s) and as such I read that as a verbal contact (which to me is a posh modern term for "argument" or "conversation") and oral contact (a post modern term for either "bite" or "kiss"). Thank goodness we're in the lighter side where I can post in a jovial manner about my initial misreading! |

Well, to wrench this vaguely back in the direction of the OP▸ : Where was I last night?  |

Looks like a red Squirrel was to be seen at Reading.

Indeed. it wasn't meant to be much of a challenge; I just thought the Upper Concourse looked particularly impressive - but then it was the first chance I've had to look at it properly!

That's quite understandable: the red squirrel is more usually seen at or around ground or lower vegetation level - the grey squirrel is generally to be seen showing off in the higher branches. Where, according to FT,N!, the most appropriate response is to deploy a shotgun in the traditional manner. |

In view of the clear interest in this particular topic, I'm adding a poll to measure opinion. |

Vote cast. Although disappointed that there was no option: 'Eat Grey, spare Red.' |
