Nope, go again.  The shoes need to be shrunk just a bit to make them more believable.

Disagree.

This was his remit.

We need a photoshop expert, & a great big pair of bright red clown shoes.

Damn, you're right.  My bad.  Soz.

Pineapples must be inflation proof. They used to cost £1 in 1995 or 96. I remember this because as poor students when we went to the Test match at Headingley and all had to buy something costing £1 to get the obligitory £50 cash back (you could always get cash back even when the cash point would reject you). We all individually bought a pineapple, so we could sing 'I've got a pineapple, on me head' on the Western Terrace, but we got them confiscated on the way in. Apparently pineapples can be used as weapons

Lolz. Lovin the clown shoes pic. Might get it to replace the original in my album.

derp is back

I never saw him (or is it "her"?) on "Top 20 Pots" last night!

Jen Mason was the Analyst last night, she has grown into the role brilliantly, & I was incredibly proud for her.

She has such a pleasing disposition, bright - very - cheerful, & never disses a soul.  She's middle-aged now, or nearly so, though still a good way behind Chili in the age stakes.  She looks a tad mean here, though. When Jen gives you the dead-eye, it's time to stfu.

OMG practic forn foto of Jen there....

Delete before it's quoted imo..

Oh, wait......

Perhaps fortunately, Irene, I have no idea what "practic forn foto" means. Is it latin?

Nirvana and I think it would be a great idea to get us on the show to discuss poker.

Let us know when you want us.

lol great story Jeff, don't wanna ruin it be being a bit "know-it-ally" but I believe a primary reason for this is that there is no V.A.T or duty on fruit?

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone?

Which reminds me, Mr David Nicholson (VAT Consultant) has just arrived in Vegas, & penned his first blog.

Well worth a read.

This should definitely happen. give Nirvana a few days though, he was literally in tears when MDD called a clock on him last night.

What a few days, though best draw a veil over most of it.

Finished the Show @ Midnight, bed @ 1am, up at 5, sent a bunch of messy & urgent e-Mails, then went home to Derbyshire at early o'clock to sort some stuff, back in the office @ 1pm. 6 hours driving, but I don't mind it, I get to think, to clear my head, & work through my phone calls, & I spoke to a bunch of friends.

Went to get stuck in at the office, then my computer set up unsetupped itself. 

Picked up a pile of mail at home, as per. Included....

Request for "name of driver". Evidently, I got camera-snapped driving home from the airport last Wednesday, on the way home from Nice. 11.36pm, 36 in a 30. Fair enough, but still a bit cross with myself, a momentary lapse of concentration. Bugger. I got a 6 month ban about 7 or 8 years ago, & I've been very steady since, a ban don't 'arf teach you a sharp lesson.

Summons for not paying my Council Tax. Checked my bank statement, it was paid on time. Bugger off.

Letter from Sandra Dancer (?), the "Pension Centre Manager @ Pension Service". In Edinburgh.

Dear Mr Kendall,

We're writing because you're due to the State Pension age soon.

Thanks for that, I'd clean forgotten.
