Naah. Me palate got a bit jaded with this forum, that's all. So no good news for Amersham to do with me expiring or exploding or being hospitalised for long-term liposuction, I'm afraid.

As for tennis-playing Cresswells, that don't ring a bell. The Cressalls I knew of were a pair of venom-spitting gargoyles whose only sporting speciality was whacking each other on the noggins with cricket bats.

were they buried or cremated? Cresswell / Cressall - there were two that looked a bit like rabbits - but if youre only 3 years old I dont think you were around then.

Ah! Well that does make a difference (very kind of you to clear that one up, Angel).

But surely you do not have to be uninhibited to make these minor adjustments to one's own intimate apparel. I mean, when my knickers slip a bit, I just yoick them up a little. And if you were tweaking your own bra, what had the brother in law got to do with it? Was it perhaps that you were inviting him to lend a hand and that you were merely showing him what was required?

I am sure I could learn that too, Angel, if you were prepared to teach me - I am a fast learner and I see that you are less inhibited with other men than with your own brother in law. Well done!

The only twins I remember at Hertford were the Llewellyn-Smiths, and as Cath is on the FRU list she may well be here as well. Are you out there Cath?

I read that someone was trying to ban goldfish bowls on grounds of fish cruelty - but does it really matter. Theyre just lucky we dont eat them.
