He reported it to the police who, quite reasonably, asked for details. The guy was somewhat obsessive and had lots of Abba, Beatles and Stones and ...... 'the complete Muppet collection'. The copper on the desk remarked that he wouldn't be surprised if my friend found some of the discs returned to him! <br /><br />He was probably thinking of the mop tops.<br /><br />The folks send their very best and their thanks for the Xmas letter.<br /><br />HenryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-85755238830156086782014-01-09T20:43:07.498-05:002014-01-09T20:43:07.498-05:00Thanks!Thanks!Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-89564553712487821512014-01-09T20:42:21.283-05:002014-01-09T20:42:21.283-05:00I think that I will consider it a good natured kin...I think that I will consider it a good natured kind of put-down.

You might not know this, but Jim Henson is a hero to me! I LOVE the muppets so therefore, I felt a bit...well, a bit sad that muppet was being used as an insult/put-down!<br />Henry, I hope you are doing well these days. Give our love to Sarah and to your sweet Mum & Dad. They sent us the most gorgeous Christmas card, most appreciated! Take care, you muppet!

Thinking about it though - sometimes it can be used with a smile when someone you like has done something daft.

&#...Hi Kay<br /><br />Good to hear that you are on the mend.<br /><br />'Muppet' is a fairly good natured term and not a million miles away from 'plonker'. The derivation, I believe, is from the consideration that (the real) Muppets are incapable of autonomous action and need to be manipulated - by a second party and in a particular place - if they are to do anything. <br /><br />We have a lot of muppets in the UK. Quite a few are politicians who are incapable of any action not sanctioned by their party leader.<br /><br />Kind regards<br /><br />Henry Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-84567415429228768372014-01-07T19:56:09.613-05:002014-01-07T19:56:09.613-05:00Thanks for the film recommendations!

If you are looking for good feel good films.... you did ask :0) 'Juno'(young girl expecting a baby) is warm and funny. 'Tamara Drewe'. is a British film set in Rural Dorset that's funny, unexpected, has great scenery and a great cast. The Straight Story- an American classic that's a real joy to watch and The Last Mimzy, Kids film but very clever, entertaining story. 'Dear Frankie'. Scottish film about a young deaf boy with beautiful Clyde Coast scenery and 'The Secret Life of Bees' Set in Georgia I think. and 'The Cider House Rules' If you haven't seen them they are all worth a look. No Chas and Dave in them though.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-92003877941525298142014-01-07T19:04:31.113-05:002014-01-07T19:04:31.113-05:00Oh, let me know if you see that movie.
