I watched the latest BBC bonnet and bodice ripper, Emma
last night, mainly because it was filmed down the road and one of the characters walked out of a house I almost ended up living in.*

was there ripping of bonnets and bodices?

No, lots of bonnets
but actually no bodices as it's Austen and not Defoe.

does extraordinarily have an a in? Yes according to my dictionary.

I like

All that pub quiz winning has gone to your head.

It's been a while since we won
so it's quite nice to be back on top. You get £25 worth of beer vouchers so it's not a bad prize, it pays for your drinks the following week.

Did they ask you lots of questions about bacon?
Caitlin Moran says it's the next Big Thing in today's Times...I think she's very behind and needs to spend time on b3ta to learn about the Next Big Thing.

EDIT - I'm off now to go and see the quack about my heaving chest which is heaving just a little too much.
Ta ta for now!

It's a clever system.
