"We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like 'I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive . . .' And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming, 'Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?'"

The Vegas trip is end of May. But to answer that (and in order): a blue spotted sting ray, a bright green frog fish, shoals of long thin cornetfish and a 2m long manta ray. Like Hunter, it blew my mind. But back to the subject of Snow watch....will Peter Snow be dusted off for the next election with a newly enhanced swingometer?

Have you been lickin' toads ?



THEM TOAD SUCKERS


How 'bout them toad suckers, ain't they clods?

Sittin' there suckin' them green toady-frogs.


Suckin' them hop-toads, suckin' them chunkers,

Suckin' them leapy-types, suckin' them plunkers.


Look at them toad suckers, ain't they snappy?

Suckin' them bog-frogs sure makes 'em happy.


Them hugger-mugger toad suckers, way down south,

Stickin' them sucky-toads in they mouth.


How to be a toad sucker? No way to duck it.

Gittchyseff a toad, rear back and suck it!

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • 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!
