Let me see, a week next Thursday.....
I'm rather 'ahead of myself' here, if I'm honest, because I've lined up your local Fire Brigade boys (because I can't resist a man in uniform...) and your local scaffolding yard.... Haze and me, are doing a Wellie's Workshop that day, erecting a platform, to watch you being pulled out of this very deep hole
you are digging, and so beautifully, if I may say so...!

A erect man on a platform in a uniform sounds like a railway porter to me!!

Of course you can Flum! Personally I like fishnet stockings, purple lacy basque, strappy high heels. Don't really care what the woman wears, so long as it's wet!!!

I know I've mentioned this before, and I know I'm female, but one of Nigellas funniest bits on tv is where she is about to turn a steak with a pair of tongs and says (with a straight face) "I love a bit of tong action"!!!!

A must for all you guys methinks!

I used to work with a girl who was so Niave it was untrue. We went up town one lunchtime to do some shopping and Jayne announced

" I'm just nipping in the butchers for some tongue"

We fell arounds and then she came out and said

"It's not for me it's for Granny, She loves a bit of tongue"
