You are probably Eddie Grundy, Scarla is more Jolene, Wendums is Shula (without the religion or the horses), Gadjo is Nigel Pargetter, Daphne is Jill Archer, Auty can be Nelson Gabriel.

However, you may be interested to learn that Paul Stapleton is a close-personal of mine, and has guested at my groaning board on more than one occasion. I am also on cordial terms with more than one high-up from Exeter City.<BR/><BR/>Daphne, your problem is a weak constitution. See me, I once caused a sensation in a Pernod peignor, a Grangala G-string and a pair of Sambuca stilettos. <BR/><BR/>Crabtree, mon brave! Alors, je crois que la cuisine c'est quand les choses ont le gout de ce qu'elles sont. (I once stayed at Chalons-sur-Marne in an hotel with a wonderful name - Haute-Mere-Dieu. Not far away is Hautvilliers, where Dom Perignon, the Benedictine cellarer, discovered champagne and the second fermentation. I often drink to him. Sante.)<BR/><BR/>Scarla, got it in one.Mrs Pouncerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06750280825519545045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944156166197222788.post-20599076461460671242009-02-02T23:59:00.000-08:002009-02-02T23:59:00.000-08:00Chris, darn tootin!

Keep your eyes on the ROAD, Nige! <BR/><BR/>Boyo, far worse, I'm afraid. These cut-price piste-clutterers look as if they've been injected with cortisone. And furthermore, there was some NAKED snow-play (not me; don't worry) details of which I will append to your latest post.<BR/><BR/>MJ, yes you are new, but that's scant excuse for not doing your homework. The Thicket is a gorgesome piece of common land (and I use the word common advisedly) once beswarmed with all manner of highwaymen, cutpurses and degenerates of every hue. I spend a lot of time there in contemplation and inebriation. Many Pouncer fans have sought me out in that very location, and found me at the kebab van graciously accepting a gherkin gratis. How I long for a location webcam!<BR/><BR/>Daaarlingest Inkums, you shall have one. And in a tinkly silver frame, which you can prop up on your grand piano alongside the portraits of dear Debbie Kerr, Lizlou Hurleypie and Margaret Beckett (shome mistake shurley?) You can gaze at me as you run effortlessly through your Selections from Coward, ending with Some Day I'll Find You.

Why not do yourself a velvety favour and visit? <BR/>Kev, peevish; liverish. Whatever ails you, my boy? And why are you referencing Peggy Mount (most likely in Sailor Beware)? You know that my cure-all is a high colonic, and I would urge a purge asap.<BR/><BR/>Gadj, forgive me, but you are an ex-pat with a grievance. Very often, homesickness takes the form of unveiled envy, and I think we see a good example here. All these buds are fully visible in the Thicket as we speak! I drove through that bosky paradise this afternoon, en route from the glory that is Greenford, and could scarce keep my eyes on the road for the floral abundance. Another way of conjuring up instant blossomaria is to establish the sort of wholehearted interest in pharmaceuticals that Lord Numb and I share.Mrs Pouncerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06750280825519545045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944156166197222788.post-6397384038194015592009-01-29T14:02:00.000-08:002009-01-29T14:02:00.000-08:00Dear Ponita, how nice.

Flowers in January, like Easter Eggs in December, are nothing exceptional to us.<BR/>Scott, we haven't been introduced, and I cannot understand a bare word of your comment. Kind friends will tell you that I cannot link; I do not know how. Nor can I produce umlauts - although I often becram my blog with quite gratuitous German - or cedillas. I never embolden text nor italicise. It is all quite beyond me. However, I see that you are an Attorney. A New York Attorney. As such, I welcome you with open arms, with open mouth, and with as many buttons undone as I dare in this icy weather. If you had been, let's say, a plumber from Climping, or a hat-blocker from Old Woking, my welcome would've been frostier. Now then, lemme see what you're working with ...<BR/>Scarla, to whom do you refer? Not Jimmy McGlinchey? As you know, he received a remarkable compensation pay-out from that rogue chiropractor, but I don't think he would've made it to Gstaad. He is from Cumbernauld and, as such, would not have been able to make himself understood, and his clothes would've let him down.Mrs Pouncerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06750280825519545045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944156166197222788.post-39955663257082420922009-01-28T15:06:00.000-08:002009-01-28T15:06:00.000-08:00MJ, a thicket is a posh bush from Berkshire.SxMJ, a thicket is a posh bush from Berkshire.<BR/>SxMs Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449626572478125088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944156166197222788.post-25188614635925155492009-01-28T08:32:00.000-08:002009-01-28T08:32:00.000-08:00More than forty years and all my teeth, I not "zoz...More than forty years and all my teeth, I not "zozote", more than I not "yoyotte" bunch !!
