I don't think I'm in sarcastic comments and withering looks. Paul is a far more worthy director than I.
As to knitting needles and orifices: I assure you that there is nothing strange about my nose. A little larger than I'd have liked, but at least it is my own.

I thought the frist reference to things on your head and saying 'wibble' was in Black Adder goes forth. It was Y fronts on your head and pencils up your nose.
Sorry being sensible, on the subject of silley, my friend who worked in casualty remembers when the small Sony mobile phone came out the size of a Mars bar. Someone had it removed from their derrier
Apparently the person in question slipped in the shower and landed on his phone
The ammusing thing was the phone was still working, it rang several times during the extraction procedure.
Hopefully Sweet will not be taking her phone and putting it where the sun don't shine if she ever meets the people who knicked it
Regarding Mony Python, will have to start pinching extracts from all the scripts I have a copy of.

Gareth repeat after me, 'we are all individuals'!! You should know where that one comes from.
Yep it was a variation of Black Adder but the reason I didn't instruct Andrew to put Y-fronts on his head is because he wears kilts [!]
I also know about the mobile phones and other objects going where they are not best placed. Friend who works in A&E told me about that. He said the sister said to the patient, 'shall we remove it or change the batteries?'

I second the chocolate cake!!
Sue (if she's here?) and I can give everyone nice relaxing massages after all their hard work. Actually, we could offer them to other people too, to make some money fo rhte business (ha ha, here's hoping).
If the horse is like the ones I know, she will mow the flower beds as least as readily as the lawn.
Dunno about driving carts, but AFAIK, you don't need to pass the eyesight test to ride a horse on the road.
THough in London traffic, you need eyes ithe back of your head and a few guardian angels about if you're venturing into the traffic with a horse. I've known the one who was edging out into the middle of the road because she didn't like th epond in someone's garden (must have had fierce horse-eating crocodiles in it), the one who heard someone start a lawn mower and decided to canter off along the road away from it; the one who galloped half way across the football pitch because a skip lorry came along the road beside the field, and the one who stopp for a wee, got worried about her friends getting ahead and went straight from squat to gallop to catch up - while I was still standing up and looking over he shoulder to see if her tail was still inthe air!

Louise didn't know wher ethe one about "not enough luncheon vouchers for an orgy" came from:
It stems from a certain, rather infamous, errrm, "entertainment establishment" run by the equally infamous Cynthia Payne, where the clients paid for the attentions of the, errm, young ladies during Ms Payne's parties using luncheon vouchers.
Why LVs, and quite how many sandwiches you'd have to forego to get another sort of gobble, I do not recall.

Rosemary, thanks for enlightening me about the origins of the luncheon voucher quote, marvellous! Wonder whether they still exist.
Glad you are a fellow cake fan, and as for massage, I'd like to book myself for half a day please, that's my favourite treat.

I was on a television programme in Grampian once with Ms Payne. She got to sit next to the Editor of a brides magazine so that every time the camera panned past and the caption read "editor ... magazine", she would be in the frame!
I don't know whether she got her wish.
It was one of those live debates with responses from the general public throughout the area. People phoned in their vote on how the debate was going.
All I can remember about the detail is that, at one point, I started to cough, and my RGP popped out. The presenter saw it land on the floor, stepped over, picked it up and handed it to me on the end of a decorous finger.
I flooded it with Total, popped it back into my eye and was ready to take up the cudgeols whenever the camera came back to me.
I think we swung a hostile audience to our side, but Ms Payne (who was on the other side) did not seem pleased.
