Don't worry John....I'll give you an extra big hug to make up for all this! ;0)

Nooooo! Ian Anderson wasn't in Blackmore Gardens. BUT....that 6ft Elf down on the sea front, with Size 12 feet looked *awfully* familiar! ;0)

Right! That's it!! Forget Lyme Regis! Forget Jeremy Irons! Forget Death By Sharks and Seagulls! That is all *way too good* a way for you to end your days!!

....YOU are now going into Room 101, otherwise known as CARINA'S NIGHTCLUB!

Yes! I thought that would have you shivering in your shoes!

.....AND it gets worse (or better depending on which side of the trebuchet you're on!)...because not ONLY are you going to be spending the ENTIRE first week of August in there....BUT you have to be in there, chained to The Grumpy Elf himself! Yes!! I KNEW that would get to you!! AND....it gets even worse/better than that!....because I've chosen the music for you both to dance to....and it will be played non-stop 24 hours...round and round and round.....incessantly!

So...THIS is now YOUR 'Musical Soundtrack' for the First Week In August!


1. The Birdie Song - The Tweets
2. Teletubbies Say Eh-Oh - The Teletubbies
3. Barbie Girl - Aqua
4. Agadoo - Black Lace
5. I Should Be So Lucky - Kylie Minogue
6. We're Going To Ibiza - Vengaboys
7. Grandma We Love You - St Winifred's School Choir
8. Shaddap Your Face - Joe Dolce
9. Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus
10. Lady In Red - Chris De Burgh



Because no-one....NO-ONE (!!!) gets away with referring to my Three Gallant Musketeers as "those boring old CBS blokes" !!!!!!!!!!!


Meanwhile....*I* shall be locked away in The Ham Marquee with Porthos, Aramis and Athos......(Heavenly Sighs Smiley!);0)

"One for all..and all for one"

Altogether now....

"She's like a swallow that flies so high. She's like a river that never runs dry. She's like the sunshine on the lee shore. She's lost her love and she'll love no more...." Ohhhh!

Right...I'm just off to turn The Trusty Trebuchet around now. Oh! And as you can see below, it's creating HUGE local interest..and when I explained why I was building it, *so many* volunteers came forward!
