Sounds like a fun time had by all!

The mind boggles on those pink fluffy socks, though.

Those parking attendants on their golf buggies are RSOLES. We got a ticket once for parking completely legally on a nearby road not far from the pier. My girlfriend, being a native Californian knew to simply ignore it. I was all for chasing the attendant of giving them some verbal ...

America - funny old place.

I agree, Targarama. Sometimes I think that vermin parachute in, and helicoper out. Parked outside Santa Monica post office, put 20 minutes of dimes into slot meter, was in buying stamps no more than three or four minutes at the outside and zap! Came outside to find a $30 fine on the windscreen. Shock, horror, bewildered. Looked at the meter. It was still in time. Looked at the parking sign. No restrictions at that hour. Nonplussed, I read the back of the ticket. It said, "Car 20% across the line." I walked around the car. Sure enough, the nose was across the parking box. Livid, I sent 20% of the fine to the parking superintendant ... and heard nothing more. And that's the truth.

Jobsworths.

Guess that leaves enough to buy you a pint, maggit.

I'll have a beer on you tonight, then. burp. pardon.

By the way, did you check out that website? I was going to buy one of the tigers but ended up with the Griff instead.

(I hope that's not what you tell your girlfriends; you always wear something in bed ... when you really mean socks!)

No, My long-lost twin moved to Australia, couldn't cope with all these people coming up saying "Ere, you look like maggit, you do!" So, unless you've arrived there via Oz, we're not twins.
