Hello,
I’m still struggling to take the Christmas pounds off. Apart from playing havoc with my rash my lovely wife, Shirley commented that I was close to putting Buddha to shame in the old girth department. Harsh I thought as I took a well earned rest after wrestling the sock from my right foot. Bit of a fighter that one. Still got a bit of elastic in the nylon.
But the mention of Buddha got me thinking.
As I scanned The Sun whilst on the bog, there was no mention of how to live a good Buddhist life. Well not in the Racing Section anyway. I thought Ying and Yang were the name of the Pandas in London Zoo (They never had sex neither – I know the feeling) and used to smother Feng Shui with Curry Sauce after wobbling home from the Swollen Gland on a Friday Night. Never met Harry Krishna neither. Must be a nice bloke - he’s had a religion named after him.
Shame my Uncle Harry never managed that trick. “Harry - Harry, Harry - Harry Feltham” has a certain tranquil quality don’t you think? He was a roofer as well. An existential extension could have been on the cards. If I knew what existential meant. Heard some bloke say it on BBC2 once. Knew it wasn’t At Home Wth The Ice Cop Chase Border Guards straight away. (Great show that by the way).
Then I spotted it. 3.15 at Kempton Park – Roly Poly Fat Boy. Put twenty on him to win and he romped home!
Thanks Buddha! Although my journey for spiritual enlightenment continues.
No it doesn’t.
Laters.

You can read more of Bob’s musings whilst on the pot here and here. Your lives will be infinitely richer for doing so.
No you won’t.
Great place to ponder Buddhism.
Solitude guaranteed
Do you flush Nirvana or let it wallow there for eternity?
It’s a floater!
May you find inner peace and may your legs never go to sleep while reading.
It has happened Waldo – trust me!
May the red of your hair never land itself in your stool – the irritably boweled ginger buddha.
I bow to your inscrutability oh mystic!
Best place to read by far!
No doubt the trick with RolY Poly Fat Boy was to build up momentum – after that there would be no stopping him!
Exactly!
Good luck battling those pounds, Bob.
Trying Kate. Laters
battle of the bulge, totally understand that one – why do the holidays always tempt us too much.
Good question – deepest winter – dark nights and the need for some levity may be a reason!
There’s a reason my family always referred to the loo as The Library, as in, ‘I’m just going to The Library now–I’ll mend that broken window later.’ Needless to say, by now we’re all brilliantly well read but our houses are falling around our ears.
Can’t have everything in life Kathryn!
Will Bob be using part of his winnings on a softer seat cushion?
Or perhaps silk wipes…
