Sorry Frankie, you're history.
I've also heard thet Holloway's idea is going to be taken up. As the Council are so hard up, and can't afford a paint pot to put their brush in, Webby's going to get a load of volunteers up to the Hoe, and paint Smeaton green and white.

If it wasn't for me you'd all be talking Spanish.

They still got through though, regardless of your little skirmish. My family have Spanish in us from the 16th century raiding party at Paul, near Mousehole. Where were you then Frankie eh ? late as always ... nowhere to be seen ... too busy sucking up to the queen to worry about us poor souls in Cornwall ... no doubt waiting for a kindly wind and lording it at Buckland Abbey. We got the Abbey back, Frank ... I pop in there often for a cup of tea. I dance on your bed.

Why is it when I look at the picture I think of the person at the back shouting 'look at me! look at me!'

That'll be your Spanish blood coming out but I'm all for the plebs having a bit of fun so just carry on. Where was I in the 16th Century? You'll have to be a bit more specific

It was re-painted at a cost of around £100k prior to the olympic flame passing through Plymouth.
I watched Spotlight just before lunchtime today and I did laugh at Tom Daley's "it's erm.... [pause]... awesome" - he didn't look best pleased to be stood out in central park next to a postbox with Natalie Corner asking him what he thought of an old postbox on a stick that's been painted bronze. It was nice to see Chris Webb on the later edition of Spotlight though - he is such a Janner.

I quite enjoyed his speech. I agree with many of his sentiments and I want to be a postman now
I don't agree with much of what he does but I can't knock his beliefs.

I think Chris Webb gets a lot of stick as he's often seen with Ian Newell and some people really don't like Ian Newell.

I'll be having a word with Tony before then, Penz. Genuinely amazed to see one of the most principled Socialists and Trade Unionists I've ever met introducing someone who, er, isn't.

I wonder what he's got to say about people who've got a prime bit of car parking in their pension pot.
This was my idea for a mural in the Home Park parking facility.
