Drinking?! On the day of our Lord, Noel Edmonds?! I've never heard of such behavour. Surely you spent the day Bing Crosby style, smoking a pipe, singing songs, and beating the kids.
Didn't the corspe of Mark Bolan's left bum check go on the star in many west end musicials and even wrote his own sitcom in the 1980's about and fish finger that travelled through time? I'm sure I've seen it somewhere on UK gold.
Jareth the Goblin king! Labyrinth really is the best film ever. David Bowie's crotch in that film was the best Jim Henson puppet he ever made! Thanks, love, and hugs XX.
No worries. nothing changes eh?! useless feckers!! well if they DO decide to get organised drop me a bell. I'll be in your neck of the woods in Sept so if you fancy a bevvy let us know
