Can't afford a holiday this year, so I bought myself a bag of sherbet lemons as a compromise. I can probably stretch my finances to another bag sometime next week as well. If I can get Google Maps to work on my computer, I'll be having a virtual round the world tour on a nondescript Wednesday afternoon sometime though.

I've tried to take a look on Google Maps but it won't load for me . If in the city you need to heed the following advice (apparently)....

"If you are a foreign woman, don't tell anyone (except trusted friends) where you are staying unless you want everyone you meet to show up at your hotel or home."

Definitely sounds the place to be popular.

Hello Aloha. My t'internet now works and I'm back online and badder than ever. Nearly at the finish line of your thesis? Get you! I'm currently in purgatory with mine (so much to think about my brain hurts), so I'm very jealous. :-& Anyroad, back to non-sensical frivolities. McDonald's or Burger King? Atkins or Sero(low carb) diet bars?

My t'internet is broke at the mo, so I'm advancing into the lead on this thread via the wizardry of my mobile phone. My mates and four year old niece call it a brick. I call it my ticket to victory. So, excuse me and bye aloha, Rosy and everyone. I'm advancing to the finish line. Ner ner!

Andrews Liver Salts for me - fast acting, traditional and tried and tested. But what about...Branston baked beans or Heinz?

Pot Noodle or Bachelor's noodles?

I don't know why, call it a gut instinct, but I have a feeling you're going to produce some sterling work. I'd wish you good luck with it, but I don't think you'll need it.

Good heavens, when did ol'Paddington Bear prostitute himself to the makers of Marmite? What a sell out! He'll be doing trashy celebrity things next, like writing multiple autobiographies. I can see it now: Paddington: My Story and Confessions of a Sticky Brown Bear.

Now just a minute, at this minute, I'm in it to win it. So Aloha,your cheeky attitude - bin it! I'm the winner, you're the sinner, don't let you're ego get any bigger. I'm a latter day Shaun Ryder - such a wordsmith! Not

My favourite thread has vanished. It was last seen during the early hours of today. I went to check I was still winning and I can't find it anywhere. The longest standing and, statistically, most active thread on the entire site. RIP and Godspeed.

Although I won, I have to say it wasn't due to entirely fair circumstances. Anyroad, back to mi work.

I actually went to see him live in Preston quite a few years back! He's very funny. Excellent choice Aloha.....

Aloha, she's a woman of style,
Her choice of name made me smile.
She's a tower of taste,
Her choice was ace!
