Did you see my name in the New Year Honours List? No? Neither did I. By this time each year, Mrs P is almost word perfect in saying 'I am sorry, Lord Pipesmoker does not receive callers while he is doing his crossword'
I guess she will just continue saying 'The old git's in the kitchen. Fight your way through the smoke, and you will find him.
Ah well, perhaps next year.
Happy New Year to you all. Lang may yer lum reek.
