   Oh no, another duoblog.

   When Lissa comes back I suggest she enforces a "one blog per day" regime where the blogger (Eric, Sequin, the other one) can add further insights as a Comment rather than another blog.

   That would make life easy, which would be nice.

   Not quite like Sequin's story, but confusion reigned just the same. You need a Dutch accent for this one.

   A Dutch friend of mine met Lord Rothschild some years ago and, as all polite Dutchmen do, introduced himself by saying his name as he clasped Lord Rothschild's hand and looked him straight in the eye.

   "Joop Backer", he said.

   you see, I don't want to be unkind to sequin, who is after all doing a pretty good job of standing in, but I do feel that EM would have realised it was Prince Hassan.

   I loved the story at 4 LOL Sara, and Mr no 5, is that really your name? how wonderfiul to have a name like that.

   Yes please Lissa when you get back, if you find you can face coming back, it's one blog a day plus comments please, two blogs leads to confusion and much time wasting switching between the two.

   s/be 6 or possibly 7 but is anyone keeping score? or is this just another pointless PM listener thing.

   Re Mr. Ed of a few days ago, I was watching Through The Keyhole today and the star (other than the horse) of the program, Alan Young was one of the guests.

   Yes, I got caught out by a duoblog. I did warn of chaos when the blogs multiplied, glad to see others now thinking along the same lines....As for the "princess ann", was that evidence of an early Martini?

   Lissa, if we can get a on-blog-a-day policy going, iis it possible to have sequin's, Eddie's further thoughts for the day somehow highlighted within the other blog entries (perhaps a blue background colour, rather than the grey), so we can immediately spot a further lead entry?

   (If you're reading this while on holiday, Lissa, I'm sure you can deligate this one to Tim the Coder).

    andyc - oh I did like the Mighty Quinn, takes me back to the Youth Club days....why does this blog make my whole life pass before my eyes? I haven't even GOT my bus pass yet.

    Ms Couric-Quinn, if you have any influence with Lissa, then I'd be up for the mono-blog too. How were the Martinis? No shlurring? V.upsetting that Imelda's shoe collection is in the local museum and no-one much is interested!. I'd like to go see - anyone else up for a bit of shoe-tourism?

    SB14. Quiet here too. So what on earth was I doing all afternoon then?

    I usually watch the young woman next door through the keyhole, but she blocked it up.

    Apparently the guy who owns Lear Jets has a daughter whom he named Crystal Shandy - I know someone who worked for him, which means it must be true, eh?

    Same person worked beside another American, called Terry Christmas : )

    Isn't there an Indian restaurant near Solihul called "The Shirley Temple"?

    I knew someone at work called Mike Hooker, people would ring up his department and ask for him, often the reply was "no, but there's our fridge here ...".

    I defrosted my ol' fridge yesterday - huge slabs of ice, magnificent. Theraputic. Buy an old fridge, leave it on for a few years, and then get some therapy!

    Not a name thing but I was standing at a supermarket kiosk last week when a young lady approached the counter and asked "Can you still get stretch marks at this time of night?" Imagine my confusion when, rather than ask her what on earth she as blethering on about, the assistant calmly enquired "What sort do you want?"... The young lady proceeded to buy what I believe to be a National Lottery Scratch Card...

    Well, I was tickled...

    My grandmother knew someone called June Snowball, and went to school with someone called Albert Hall. (I suspect at one stage Albert Halls were probably quite common)

    My uncle tells me that somewhere near Peterborough there is a firm of builders owned and run by people from the subcontinent; their slogan is 'You've been had by the cowboys, now try the Indians'. I think that's good.

    I was in a band with Jonny Snowball, he played bass guitar, I played drums (it was a post-post-punk band, it didn't matter much, to me anyway, whether I could play or not).

    Any relation to June?
