I still like it, but haven't seen it for years.

I'm wearing Prossie by Tierry Mugler.

Well they are cheap enough.

Where does the mark-up come from. It can't be the bottles because anything you make 10 million of out of sand is 2p a dozen. And that's delivered. On pallets. And signed for with a wink for the drivers wearing dark glasses.

Size LARGE please, stevie, if me and DP have to share.

I would like to add that Flowerbomb is made of entirely natural ingredients - hence the cost. And merely 'enhances' a woman's natural aroma, rather than disguising it. So shut your gob, spendeauxballet. You should be so lucky as to get the merest whiff of my womanly scent.

I'll send you a bottle two Spendt

Well its a lovely cold bright day here. Whole of E Anglian coast in a state of terror from the sea. Thousands of reporters sent to find any water where it shouldnt be. But as the police have closed areas which might flood, media are queing up to interview the same woman in a "refuge" with nothing but chocolate biscuits to eat.

I very much doubt if anyone will so much as get their feet wet.

I detect humour here, but it will have to be explained.

And from Norfolk County coucil's advise about what to do if your home is under threat we learn

Norfolk County Council wrote:
At present, we are not issuing sand bags, but we are providing sand dumps where residents can collect sand free of charge. The sand sumps are located at:

*

Beach Coach Station
*

Runham Vauxhall (from Acle New Road roundabout, bottom of slope to left)
*

Pasteur Road Car Park
*

Lady Haven Car Park, Cobholm
*

Brush Quay, Gorleston, near toilets
*

South Quay - nearly opposite Yarmouth Stores, next to Pumping Station

If you require empty sandbags, these are available at Halls Aggregate Services, Beccles Road Yard for 50p (+VAT) each. You can also get filled sacks for £2.50.


Thats good value. Makes you proud to be British.

You never fill a sandbag 100% full. It will not bind with its neighbours, and will probably burst when roghly handled.
Sandbags should be only 80% or four-fifths full.

Remember that.

Help keep the North Sea in its place.

I went to that music venue pub again last night, I enjoyed them so much last week. Especially the geetar player. That band have a residency on Thursdays at the moment.
They are hard to categorise, as I think I said before, and have a go at a wide range of material, like

Ray Charles (Take These Chains From My Heart)
T Rex (I Like To Boogie)
Eagles (Take It Easy)
Bessie Smith (Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out)
Little Richard (You Keep a-Knockin')

and plenty blues and country-blues standards.

Top geezers.

TGIF, hope Smorg's day went a little better today and she didn't meet an axe-murderer actually waving an axe.

Americans may note how axe is spelt, and how spelt is spelled.

Anyone watching The Street this time around? I recorded it. I like Bronagh Gallagher. Good series.

Man reporter in anorak who's been at Yarmouth since 6am says the tide came in and went out again.

Glad you enjoyed the music McT. Last year in France my retired music teacher cousin took us to the Vivaldi pizza restaurant in Chambery. Beneath the pizza smudges on the menu front cover was a music score. He studied the menu. "This is poor" he said to the waiter. Its Bach not Vivaldi.

Cripes!!

Steve's got a music teacher cousin.

So watch your crotchets, quavers, or even your semi-quavers and no minims and most of all no semi-beavers.

Well- it isn't surprising is it. There's not much demand for them these days. Some scientific survey said they caused headache unless you do them to a crisp and then they are too tough to chew on.
