Hey Toddao, you write a theme toon and sing the theme toon to the lyrics and we can do a CD for the Bxathong boys whilst they're raggin' in round France. Then, Phil and the team can do a video of them dancing to the song in front of a suitable scenic background and post it up on youtoob for us all to see. Phil, you must a Hawaiian Shirt - I want the Don Johnson Look 8) :lol:

You seem to have an uncanny insight into my secret persona. In the 'eighties, I was renowned for my Hawaiian Shirts! (Proper vintage jobbies from the King's Road etc. lol!)... I'll see if I can dig a pic or two out.

I was wearing Hawaiian but three summers ago (before the summers turnmed to sh1t). 8)

Get them ironed for France - or were you going to wear a stripy top and beret! You'll need to wax the touche as well :lol:

We were thinking about costumes for it the other day.

Stripey tops, berets and strings of onions?

Or pipes, umbrellas and bowler hats?

Is it for sale though, I thought you'd just 'spotted' it?

Bowler hats, pinstripe suits (with a rose in the lapel of course), black umbrellas and at the very least Union flag braces I reckon. Stop for a picture in the middle of Paris with your cars, that should stop the traffic!

No. Last time I had a compass I managed to stab myself in the hand with it!

It'd be an education for the divorce lawyer and the knacker surgeon that's for sure.
