Seeing
as this is another day with no useable Facebook posts in the archives I thought
I’d seek out a few of Fester’s remarks that have not already made it into the
blog.
These gems are all from 2009, the year Middlesister turned sixty and I joined the rest of the family for a celebratory birthday tea at The Ritz.

Fester's
definition of BBCiplayer
"Making the eminently missable unfortunately
available."

Holiday quote from Fester "We must be going the right way because if we were heading towards Tenby the sea would be on the other side."

This comment
reminds me of the many arguments I had with my ex about map reading and driving
advice. He seemed completely unable to
watch both the road and the road signs or to take my advice from road map
despite insisting that I read road map and give directions. At least Fester's comments make sense.
Oddly, my father and mother were also at odds
about road directions and I have a nasty memory of being 8 yrs old and finding
ourselves facing the Atlantic on the west coast of Clare with only sand sea and
jetty between us and America.

He navigates,
I drive. We have surprisingly few rows
about navigation. Loads about other
things, including comments along the lines of "you could get a bus through
there" from the provisional holding motor-biker.
Another famous remark was coming home the
picturesque route from Flamborough, "Oh Suchandsuch Hall, that's not where
it's supposed to be." When we
eventually found Stockton-on-Tees all the traffic was being diverted to the
bridge. Thunderthighs said quietly
"It's a long way home isn't it?" - he was about six.

Fester
says "I didn't find my ribcage until I was his age and got taller. Mind you I was not as tall as he is at that
age."
He's not
as tall as him now.

Have just been chatting with Fester about tea at the Ritz saying
"Well it's not the sort of thing I'm going to do again"
"Certainly not with me" says he.
Who says romance is dead?
