There’s somewhere called Much Marcle? It sounds like a place from Harry Potter.

Hope the apples live up to expectations rarg – you sound worryingly overexcited about them!

Think SP is saving challenging questions for her very clever Mum and Dad – I get asked ‘what is charlie’s name?’. Do you think she is being kind and asking me questions she thinks I can manage?

Right, I’m taking a cricket bat round to Susie’s. We’ll beat that deadline into a bloody pulp, dagnammit. And then drag it into the gutter. And maybe slam my car door into its head. I’ll go ‘Raging Bull’ on its ass.

Jess, I like your questions. Give me a day or two and I’ll come up with answers.

In other news, I’d like to pick some apples. Oh yeah. I’m not being crude, it’s just that at the moment I’m really into fresh apples. There’s a farmer’s market tomorrow in Bristol and I have the morning off. I’m gonna get me some hardcore Somerset apples. Maybe some cider apples that are also good eaters. There’s an apple day in Much Marcle in Herefordshire on October 11th. Me and Mrs Rarg are going. There are going to be rare varieties for buying at the applefest. Incidentally, did you know who also came from Much Marcle? Fred West.

Do you remember that joke about the boy called Manners? Someone asked his friend ‘where’s your manners?’ and he replied, ‘up the tree picking apples’. I think that might be where your luck is, perhaps. I did have an email from Susie recently so I know she’s still alive. If she’s held down by a giant deadline with lots of hairy legs that crawled up the drainpipe and caught her unawares, then maybe we should all go around with baseball bats to sort it out?

I think there is a big, horrible hairy deadline which has trapped Susie in her room and isn’t letting her play.

In the meantime Rarg, your explanation of ‘where is the jazz’ gave me and Other Half a good giggle – we will see if SP is satisfied with that. Could you help out with ‘What’s in a stone?’, ‘Where is space?’ and ‘Where is my luck?’

Susie? Are you there and OK? Have you been wiped out by a passing deadline?

Er…Susie?

…Bueller?
