Geg: The comment is fairly obviously "without", so just go out and have a look at it. I've put my own opinions aside.

Are you suggesting that "I" am a blind man, young man?

It's got to be a hoax.

i wouldn't trust anything purported to be written by someone named 'Seth'.

So sez me!

No merely repeating a phrase used by my grandmother whenever anyone said "I see". And is a shortened form of the Wellerism:

"I see, said the blind man, to his deaf dog, and he picked up his hammer and saw"

I discovered that I have a reading list.

I strained some back muscles while moving and now when I read I place myself to reduce strain on said muscles. As a result I lean to the left which, is annoying coz I usually use my left had to pick up Twisties, chocolate, drinks etc. while holding the book in my right hand.

what is the problem? place all the goodies on a lowish table and sit to the right of it. You are already part way to picking them up, now.

we have a Bernese Mountain dog pup, a Border Collie pup and a 20 year old daughter.

Never place Twisties, chocolate or drinks where any of these can get them or they exhibit quantum style immediate non existence.

Always rains on a Bank Holiday. Feel sure it will stop just as soon as BibwitHart Day is over.

Have looked into the introduction of a No Blame Policy, but frankly the paper work is a nightmare. I'll get back to you just as soon as I've discovered just exactly what a Mission Statement is.
