'Let's not forget to save one for daddy ...' - that's my line.<BR/><BR/>Also, it seems to me there is no toy that a seven or eight-year-old boy thinks cannot be improved with masses of sellotape and other rubbish stuck to it. You tell it like it is.<BR/><BR/>Don't cook tonight. Just leave the clever kid in the kitchen with the ingredients for fish pie and see what happens. Take the sellotape away first, though.fordfocusmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038038065550719517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735085699153339257.post-4586551687616172042009-02-01T20:39:00.000+00:002009-02-01T20:39:00.000+00:00Master Sy,Ox testicles?

(They do some other items like clothing and electricals too.)<BR/><BR/>Nope we don't have Trader Joes <BR/>(as far as I know).<BR/><BR/>I'm a bit of a floating shopper myself as I just get bored shoppping in the same place cos well...grocery shopping is pretty boring really....hmm...I feel this is a subject I should elaborate on at some time in the future....<BR/><BR/>A shopping binge sound good! Let's make it a little more upmarket though! Also If I ever come to the USA I want to go a M&M shop - that is sheer decadence!

Photos are hard to come by, but we did discover <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m7WhfXNX30&feature=related/" REL="nofollow">this video</A> of Barry in his post-leotard era, when he'd graduated to performing whilst dressed as an alien.
