Oh dear YL, I were in Bolton shopping yesturday, when a gentleman wear a raincoat (with collar turned up) sunglasses and fedora on head, asked me for direction to the Yorkshire Rhubarb Triangle, well we went to the cafe so I could draw a map for him to follow,and with all my new knowledge I were more than happy to share it. Lovely man said his name was Spyimoff.

After my day shopping, sat down with a nice glass of chilled wine and opened the forum up to catch up on new's of our great man, when I saw your post. I dropped my wine and running to my solicitor's with laptop under arm. After a lot of huffing and puffing, intakes of breaths, low whistle's along with rolling eyes, he pondered over it for a long time he came up with the answer on what I should do. He told me to go and lie low in Cyprus for 2wks, so advice taken, that is what I'm going to to do.

I really hope boarder control will let me back in, when they find out what State Secret's I have given away. :( :( :(

I spy (imoff) a touch of leg pulling here ! Have a nice time in Cyprus . By the way did you know that Cyprus was the birth place of the greek goddess Aphrodite ( the goddess of love ) from which the word Aphrodisiac comes . Therefore your destination is very fitting because any hot blooded yorkshireman will tell you that rhubarb is a fantastic aphrodisiac especially when served hot and steamy !!

It devotes nearly 14 impossibly beautiful minutes to Misty, a song on which Bush imagines first building a snowman and then, well, humping him, with predictably unhappy consequences: "He is dissolving before me," she sings sadly, not the first lady in history to complain about an evening of passion coming to a premature conclusion.
This wouldn't have happened in Frosty's time! He melted in very different circumstances. I can say that Frosty had 60 words for snow - he was very knowledgeable that way.
I predict a mild winter by the way.

On another note

I've just found out that you can now freely read the beginning (about 14 pages worth). Go to this link and then click on 'Look Inside' if you're inquisitive :)
Available in kindle and also paperback if you want to know what happens next :)- if it's not your cup of tea just make sure you don't crease the pages :)

"Manchmal" with an EL at the end like in El Paso. It's German and means "sometimes" :-)
