[tomsk]

they are noted people from the town place that is Portishead...

[Icey]

Ooh arr - where IS it? Is it in Cornwall, Wales or ... ???

[tomsk]

Bristol.......

[Icey]

It can't be IN Bristol. That's a place, not a county.

Blimey - just looked it up. Portishead's in Somerset.

[tomsk]

it was 5.49 ..
give me a break......

[Icey]

Not complaining about you. Just saying ....

I thought Portishead was somewhere else, anyway.

[tomsk]

I thought it was in bonny Scotland!

[Icey]

Could've been, couldn't it? I'd have said it was in Wales or Cornwall. I was closer than you!

[tomsk]

well you've been around a bit!
many times....

[Icey]

Not to Portishead though!

Cheeky b*gger.

[tomsk]

have you been to Stonehenge?

[Icey]

Yes. Have you?

[tomsk]

No ,
will one day..

[Icey]

Go during your next holiday then!! Coaches run from London, and it's fabulous there.

[tomsk]

I've got decorating to do 007..
maybe I could paint the stones..

[Icey]

You leave those stones alone! Sacre bleu!!

[tomsk]

and pour glitter on them too...
that would be a glam thing!

[Icey]

I'd call it desecration myself!
