Neither do I, DP. It's more of a wobbling thing, nowadays.

Quite right too. Ladies shouldn't jump about. Some of the membranes are too sensitive for it.

They are for men too but men are of no consequence anyway.

Yes, and I think I'll be paying for it at work this evening. Well, unless I can catch a nap early this afternoon.

Oh, and things are ok here. Can complain, but I won't.

How are things floating in your world, Lord.

I know the feeling. Biorythyms with me, I reckon.

Any time between 2 - 4am, I'm suddenly wide awake and ready to party.

Bloody annoying sometimes.

I said earlier on somewhere, that we have this bloody great golf tournament going on, just behind where I live.

It's apparently an American Express sponsored competition, that has attracted the top 62 players in the world, so I'm told.

No parking anywhere nearby, film crews all over the shop....so life's going to be hectic around here.

Bloody Americans. (not you, of course)

I'm a Canadian now, so no offense taken. We have some bloody film crews on my road as well and I was thinking about telling them off.

You think I should go for it?

I would! Or at least try for some form of compensation.

When they were filming some Darcy type olde english rubbish in a coastal village here recently, one of the shopkeepers got fed up and hung a ruddy great inflatable dinghy outside his olde worlde shop, to ruin filming.

They cam and bought it off her.

He waited until they shouted "action" and hung another one outside.

Apparently, she'd sold out of most of her big, expensive stuff by the end of the day.

Actually, I think it was a he (don't know why I went with "she").....but I'll bet his wife was behind it all, somewhere.

OOH! Got to go now.....being called by a grumpy usher.

How distasteful that lot was.

The awkward squad being praised for their greedy, simplistic dodge.

I would have arranged a discreet exhibition of my latest squeeze's bare bottom at a half curtained window and hoped to see it in the finished programme. Get her in a movie so to speak.

Distateful?

Wait until you have thirty or so squawking ninnies camped outside your door, eating their prawn sandwiches while tut tutting local people as they actually deign to walk by while they're setting up the "shoot".

This particular shop suffered siginificant trade loss due to the restrictions of customer parking. Bloody good luck to them, I say.

I remember when Poll tax came in, I was working for Manchester City Council as a training/information officer.

I was invited to Granada studios to join a panel of so-called 'experts' and the public phoned in with questions and we answered them on air (I got the hardest - about narrow boats!).

Anyway during a break for (news at ten?), me and my friend went on to the Coronation Street set and arranged the vegetables in suggestive poses in the 'shop'.

We watched Coronation Street avidly over the next week for a 'shop' scene... and sure enough they were there, just as left them!
