d00d, Any special gin as there are so many available now. Didn’t you like your coffee or your Duplo Splasho?

Spitty, Are you saying, l am gobby?

Re: I Am Just Popping To The Shops, Can l Get You Anything?

Only in jest, you are an oasis.

Re: I Am Just Popping To The Shops, Can l Get You Anything?

That's very kind of you Art.
Perhaps that would be best.

Re: I Am Just Popping To The Shops, Can l Get You Anything?

Reminds me of this song by the American band The Tubes:

What do you want from life
To kidnap an heiress
or threaten her with a knife
What do you want from life
To get cable TV
and watch it every night

There you sit
a lump in your chair
Where do you sleep
and what do you wear
when you're sleeping

What do you want from life
An Indian guru
to show you the inner light
What do you want from life
a meaningless love affair
with a girl that you met tonight

How can you tell when you're doin' alright
Does your bank account swell
While you're dreaming at night
How do know when you're really in love
Do violins play when you're touching the one
That you're loving

What do you want from life
Someone to love
and somebody that you can trust
What do you want from life
To try and be happy
while you do the nasty things
you must

Well, you can't have that, but if you're an American citizen you are entitled to:
a heated kidney shaped pool,
a microwave oven--don't watch the food cook,
a Dyna-Gym--I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home,
a kingsize Titanic unsinkable Molly Brown waterbed with polybendum,
a foolproof plan and an airtight alibi,
real simulated Indian jewelry,
a Gucci shoetree,
a year's supply of antibiotics,
a personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth
and Bob Dylan's new unlisted phone number,
a beautifully restored 3rd Reich swizzle stick,
Rosemary's baby,
a dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams,
a new Matador,
a new mastadon,
a Maverick,
a Mustang,
a Montego,
a Merc Montclair,
a Mark IV,
a meteor,
a Mercedes,
an MG,
or a Malibu,
a Mort Moriarty,
a Maserati,
a Mac truck,
a Mazda,
a new Monza,
or a moped,
a Winnebago--Hell, a herd of Winnebago's we're giving 'em away,
or how about a McCulloch chainsaw,
a Las Vegas wedding,
a Mexican divorce,
a solid gold Kama Sutra coffee pot,
or a baby's arm holding an apple?

I don't want all that.

Good Morning Artangel - if you still have the helicopter available - and are feeling well enough - how about a trip to Dublin?

We could do a raid on the Guinness brewery, the Jameson's distillery, Butler's and Lir's chocolate factories, have Colcannon and bacon for lunch in a pub, buy some proper Aran clothes ready for winter, scrounge a cup of tea from Jem, and still be back in time for dinner!

Re: I Am Just Popping To The Shops, Can l Get You Anything?

Good song Floydy. That's a new one on me.

I do have a bag of 40mm solvent weld equal tees if that helps.

Re: I Am Just Popping To The Shops, Can l Get You Anything?

I fancy trying a bottle of that new strawberry Baileys, I know it sounds a bit girly but I have run out of Babychams.

Re: I Am Just Popping To The Shops, Can l Get You Anything?

Coffee was cold, never mind, I want fourfat lemons, don't forget the fork handles and a bottle of Mother's Ruin Pink.

Re: I Am Just Popping To The Shops, Can l Get You Anything?

The head of Microsoft on a spike would be nice.
