YOU'RE NOT CORNISH.

You're as bad as those rich white kids who think they're black. You're the Kernow equivalent of a wigger.

Stop denying me my rightful heritage. You're no better than Israel.

Aside from the natty head gear, the main difference between you and the Palestinians is that they used to live in Palestine.

Best news I've heard from Kernow in a while.

You're the Kernow equivalent of a wigger.

Or just glare at tourists in the local pub in Portscatho.

"Keep your mouth shut while you're in there or you'll regret coming out".

I might buy a model aeroplane to make this evening as MrsA is out.I dunno which one, though. model shop in town has a good selection. I have already looked for a Wellington Bomber.

Avoid Airfix kits, as they're shit. Revell, Hasegawa, Academy and Italeri are much better. Tamiya is tops, but ridiculously expensive.

Any recommendations?

EDIT: I'm walking into town in a bit, applied for 10 jobs so far today so want the exercise.

I forgot about paints. If only there were a set of basic paints to pick up for cheaps.

Might get this and construct a small civilian airport on my desk.

Ha - I think that's identical to my radio controlled one, even down to the serial number.

Plus various shades of silver and grey for the engine. And brown and green and whatnot for the cockpit.

The revell paints are only £1 a tin, so it's not that bad. Plus you get to use them again on the next model.

Yes, there's a point at which 'Please build me a car' changes to 'Let me do it!'

Indeed. However, I'm a little chagrined that he thought I'd sneakily change it to how I wanted it while he was in bed.

Weekend just gone, I stripped a 1920s oak bedside cabinet back to bare wood and rewaxed it. It looks brilliant. I can't believe that Mrs K senior let Mrs K paint the bloody thing blue when she was a kid.

But were you tempted to do such a thing?

I asked Mrs Grim... to pass me some kitchen towel or something while I was painting and the Grimlet pipes up with "What do you say, daddy?".

Citron Lemon or whatever his name is may have been a bit abrasive but he was bloody well right about The New Pornographers.

The first album of theirs I bought, 'Twin Cinema, remains my favourite. For some reason, I was underwhelmed by this year's effort. It lacked the 'wow, this is fun' factor of previous discs and hasn't really hooked me in the way others have done.

So... I'm being made redundant.

I've been given a leaving date of the end of the month but I'm taking gardening leave this Friday.

Who'd like to come to my leaving do?

Anyroadup, I once build a Wellington bomber in about two hours. I was dizzy with the smell of the cement by the end and glued the pilot in upside down.

Or he'll break out the pasties and the black and white flag and start singing "oh flower of Scotland" or whatever the Cornish anthem is.

The Revell 1:72 WW2 series are quite cheap (5 or 6 quid for a Spitfire or whatever), but brilliant quality. You'll spend much more on the paints.

IIRC, Revell only stick the basic colours for the exterior on the packgeing. Hust open the thing up and get the instructions out. Or try the Revell website.

Weekend just gone, I stripped a 1920s oak bedside cabinet back to bare wood and rewaxed it. It looks brilliant. I can't believe that Mrs K senior let Mrs K paint the bloody thing blue when she was a kid. Also, got hold of my massive box of Lego from the folks' place. So. Much. Fun. First Born asked me to build a racing truck that we had the instructinos for. I started it, and was about to build the cab and put the spoiler bit on the back, and he said "no daddy, it needs a box on the back for putting things in. I'll make it". So he duly builds a little block on the back, making a neat little panel van with no cab. Bed time rolls around, and First Born puts the truck (which he's spent all afternoon playing with) in the new castle and says "Daddy, you mustn't touch it. It's safe in the castle from you so leave it alone and don't make it into a racing truck. It's mine, not yours". I may have been interfering with earlier projects a little, on reflection.

My father thinks an antique, Japanese laquerwork cabinet that belonged to a great aunt may well have been coated with white gloss and used as a cupboard in a shed of a cousin of his. I think he's still quietly fuming about that, 30 years later.
