As it's the International Talk Like a Pirate Day:

Well shiver me timbers, Cap'n John.

Thank you Stan and Jon for the reminder and update. :) On The Good Ship Underwood, it looks as if Jill The Sensible is at the helm, in which case she’s hoping to add at least 100k to the Challenge. However, there have been rumblings in the forecastle and mutinous talk from Jill The Not So Sensible, ...

Paul, I can definitely say that it is Peter's ' tern '.

Jill, maybe the robin thought that it wanted to go into your conservatory and, as far as it was concerned, you can Go You Own Way! A few years ago, I looked out the back window and after blinking and rubbing my eyes a bit, I decided that yes, it was a hawk perched on the back of a chair inside our ...

Hi Jill. Were the windows in your conservatory open without screens? You (and Ian) are correct. I think Rockin' Robin would be appropriate, but perhaps too obvious. Thank you Peter. :) The robin came in through the open outside conservatory doors. I’m not sure if he had just lost his way a little, ...

Thanks. I´m very happy to be back in daily rowing. After years. I started in the same time with Thomas W-P. I´m back, Thomas, come on, get on the erg...

Peter, although I only keep ' singing ' part of the song, Ian may have come to your rescue ... is it For what it's worth ? Whoa!

Thank you.

After putting my iPod rowing playlist on shuffle, this is the first song that came up.

Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag

Plummy, Could this be We don't need anymore/another heroes/hero?

Ron, what Steve said. + Cripes!

Was it something that you had been daring yourself to do for a while now, or were you taking part in a fund raising event?

Very good Louise but unfortunately, not the correct answer. Louby Lou was friends with Andy Pandy and Teddy.

Jon, I am sorry that the UTI is still causing you such discomfort and let’s hope that this coming week will see a noticeable improvement and you will start to feel a little more perky.
