He was begat by Steamy, who was listed by David Thorne. Someone sent me this: http://www.27bslash6.com/halogen.html so if you read it out to your mrs as I did to my mr and you both just about asphyxiate with laughter, we'll complete the circle. <br /><br />I'm hardly a seasoned blog reader, but yours has hit the spot. Bert made me cry. The rest made me splurt hot chocolate and hiccup. I clicked on you because I liked your comments on Gweenbrick, guessed you were an English para..(or other medic of some kind) and guess what?! Black humour gets you through the grim stuff like nothing else, n'est pas? <br /><br />Finally, my toenail has half ripped off and all the perspective of 9 spares and the things I will see in hospital tomorrow don't help at all..ow. <br /><br />Really finally: Kudos!Mistress Weatherwaxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917676458656665193.post-32956584070285173562012-09-19T10:15:45.563+01:002012-09-19T10:15:45.563+01:00mapstew - Heh, very glad you enjoyed it!mapstew - Heh, very glad you enjoyed it!The Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10051844634899994750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917676458656665193.post-24282755813136779462012-09-19T01:30:31.927+01:002012-09-19T01:30:31.927+01:00It's 1.30am, I should not be laughing this lou...It's 1.30am, I should not be laughing this loudly! :¬)mapstewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07159592046833798019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917676458656665193.post-18647330648282253182012-09-15T09:43:37.736+01:002012-09-15T09:43:37.736+01:00Chants Cottage - All hail our glorious new hymenop...Chants Cottage - All hail our glorious new hymenopteran overlords!<br /><br />Jocelyn - Thank you kindly!
