If it makes you happy, it makes me happy. I have the utmost respect for you and your uncle. OK, I shall do this thing.

Speaking of speaking like that did anyone else see the film with the bloke from Mash in it? Hawkeye? Last night, about a wedding, involving lots of hilarious mafia bits i thought it'd turn out to be lousy but it got better and wound up being really quite good. I say this with the utmost consideration for your nephew, he is a fine boy - I could use people like that in my operation. If there is anything you need, give me a call. If yore happy, then I'm happy.

I don't know how it works with shiny hotpants (mine are in the wash), but for the reduction of beer bellies, Jo, i can only recommend the V-Plan diet, which i have spoken of often and which will be coming out in book form next year.

Firstly she must be blind so that she cannot see that she sleeps with the Pope. Secondly she must be deaf so that no-one can tell her she has slept with the Pope." "Is a no problem", replies the gangster,"but what is a third condition?" "Ah yes" says the Pope, "she must have great big tits!"

You mean you went to bed with your dentist! Did he give you a drilling?

They have to operate?! That sounds a bit serious - I've heard that they have to cut your gonads off in very extreme cases.

That is true. That is the unfortunate thing about swimming - you can't hide anything. If you haven't got the muscles, then you can't fake it - no matter how much you breathe out and contort your thorax. You just have to sprint from the changing rooms to the pool, then wait until everyone goes home before you can get out.

That is also true. "20 ways to keep your man", "what do men look for in women", "are your breasts too small". And that was just what the receptionist was telling me! Boom! Boooooooomm! I thankyou.

Does the hot weather make it worse? Does your bottom sweat so much, that the salty residue stings those sore little piles? Do they smell?

They are infact odourless and hard to see (apart from obvious reasons) are very small bumps the size of nettle stings. The salt doesnt really sting them, they just throb a lot as veins that are too near the surface and distorting local tissue do. It is more the inflammation that hurts. Mine have migrated out from my ring and are now about a half inch round the edge. I think I have 6. It helps to talk about it.

I'd hope we'd be in the R&D for about 8pm, as we'll take it steady like, if anyone fancies being a LIGHTWEIGHT and turning up for the evening. However, early attendance will ensure LAFFS aplenty...

Sorry Paul. Here is a run-down of some recent dramatis personae:

Dave: Dave Dixey, Sorted Supremo
Chris: a bloke called chris
Chris: Chris who is on this list (or was) [i.e. at times when Chris is present but Chris isn't, Chris becomes Other Chris, and vica versa] Jarv: A personal friend of mine
Simon: This is Si ex-of Voon (as indeed we all are now), who is leaving Leicester FOREVER at the weekend. *sob*

Actually, i saw a BRILLIANT leaving pressie for Si which i'm getting tomow so i can watch it myself - it's a video of the best of the election! Cool huh?

Thanks Mark. I have of course, seen Si ex-of Voon. Is he the one who is going to be an actorrrrrrr? I feel like I know them personally.

I saw that as well. I thought to myself what a great video that would be. I wonder how they present it? Is it a kind of Rock-N-Roll years medley, with John Major talking about "don't tie my hands" to that tune "Hands Up! Baby, Hands Up! Gimme your heart gimmme......".

I was absolutely gripped by the entire 6 weeks of election-arama, but it seems such a long time ago....

It is still with us though, whereas THE MAN who used to be in had had Much Practice at hassling THE KIDS, I remember feeling slightly deflated when the labour party got in, it being obvious to THE KIDS that THE MAN WOULD STILL HASSLE THEM! Labour purport to be on the side of THE KIDS but they still conform to the standards laid down by THE MAN. They have become THE MAN. Old labour wasnt like that, it was more like THE NICE GROWNUP, happy to run things, but mostly on the side of THE KIDS and campaining against THE MAN, which is why THE MAN's agents ensured that they'd not get voted in, but now it has simply become THE MAN there will be no end to THE HASSLE that THE MAN inflicts on THE KIDS. And the worst of it is is that some of THE KIDS think that Labour is still the NICE GROWNUP and they trust it not to HASSLE THE KIDS! Oh! How can we get a message to THE KIDS that they still perpetually in mortal danger of being HASSLED BY THE MAN?

We must vote again!! We must have a big showdown between THE KIDS and THE MAN! HEY! I have a dream!

I have a dream!
One day!
All of us will be free!
THE KIDS will be free to GET DOWN and MAINTAIN THIER COOLNESS TOGETHER without being HASSLED by THE MAN
whos megolomaniac thirst for power will be but a distant memory! THE MAN will be put to work in labour camps just outside of LUTON, probably making FUTONS.
And the skies will be filled with happyness, and string!

     The point is that Dave isn't on this list... and I thought he was
     supposed to be, put him back on...

     Someone remind me what I did at Abbey Park, and I'll re-write it like
     a review... actually Donna who was there took som epictures and she's
     sending them to me, so you can scan them in and stuff...

     Sixpack shmixpack, I have a Watneys Party Seven down my pants, that's
     what the chicks all go crazy for.
