I've improved this for you Holloway. I always sing, 'are we humans or are we hamsters?'

Can't complain, mustn't grumble,

Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble.

Actually - "Are we human or are we dancer?" - I believe.

Which is worse I think.

The classic song-written-while-on-something-illegal, MacArthur Park.

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark

All the sweet, green icing flowing down

Someone left the cake out in the rain

I don't think that I can take it

'Cause it took so long to bake it

And I'll never have that recipe again

As I cuddled the porcupine

He said I had none to blame, but me.

Held my heart, deep in hair.

Time to shave, shave it off, it off.

No time for romantic escape,

When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No

Crap lyrics but possibly one of the best songs ever written! Genesis "Back in New York City" 1974

Same as everyone else really. Maybe they were doing a public service by alerting parents to the existence of such people as Mr LaPage down the hall...that's of course if their parents were into the band in the first place...

There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag, he used to be a british flag, plastic bag, what a drag. The frog was a prince, the Prince was a brick, the brick was an egg, the egg was a bird.

- Be careful in local shops
  
  By phil_the_rhythm · Posted 56 minutes ago
  
  There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year.

- Be careful in local shops
  
  By Sue · Posted 2 hours ago
  
  I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
- Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!
  
  By Sue · Posted 2 hours ago
  
  As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
