Meet Eric

No he isn't mine, he belongs to next door.

They are expecting visitors today and Eric is socially inept.

He has a large vocabulary of swear words that are totally inappropriate for the ears of the visitors.

I'm made of sterner stuff, he won't say anything I haven't heard or said myself.

My Great-great Aunt ran a boarding hose in Portsmouth. In her parlour, sat this great big cage with a large African Grey Parrot. Charlie had been confiscated from a sailor for none payment of rent. His Language was very salty and when ever Auntie had visitors, he had to be covered up. He was a case though, when his cover was on, he used to sit there saying things like " Charlie's been naughty" or "I is a naughty boy" but his party piece was to wait until the Vicar came and this voice would ask "More tea Vicar?" sounding just like Aunty. I never met Charlie, but my dad always said he sounded like Golumn in the Lord of the Rings Films.

Wardrobe

We have a wardrobe in the bedroom that was left by the previous resident. It is perfectly sound but it smells of stinky feet. I've tried...
