^^^, tomorrow I will need to consult with our local bookkeeper and holder of all things that are sacred, please remind me if I am wrong, arent you a signed up for life card carrying member of St Stacey (Thailand and Asia/Pacific branch)?
You will be well aware, Lady Penelope is based on the life of our Sacred Heart, St Stacey.
No doubt our scribe Tony of Tiger will be checking local bye laws, you may well find yourself PNGd at least, or burned at the stake for heresy.
Rumour has it, Joan of Arc was based on the life of Our Holiness St Stacey, even Papa Frankie gets on his kness and prays for forgiveness at the feet of this Blessed Angel.
May I remind you woman to consult your local chapter rule book and byelaws.

Please wait for Blether to come along and explain the virtues of probably one of the eye sores of his city, he knows it as The Armadillo, what a effin sight for sore eyes. The Clyde Auditorium, also known as The Armadillo, for obvious reasons.  I was there one night to see Jools Holland, and it will forever stick in my mind. 'Orrible concert. We have a new venue which I haven't been in yet called The Hydro, just opposite The Armadillo. I think I'm going to see Simple Minds there soon. I know I'm going to see Simple Minds but I don't know where -  |

One of England's oldest prisons. The Tolhouse Great Yarmouth.  At first sight, The Tolhouse seems strangely out of place, like a relic of a bygone age stranded amongst the modern streets, houses and offices of Great Yarmouth. When it was built about 800 years ago, it must have looked a grand place, with its sturdy stone walls, finely carved doorway and arched windows. Then it was the home of a rich merchant whose livelihood no doubt depended on the nearby quayside. The TolhouseBefore long, however, the house passed into the hands of the Yarmouth town officials. So began its long association with the law, as the courtroom for various different types of courts, the town gaol with the notorious dungeon known as ‘the hold’, and a police station. The Tolhouse has certainly had a turbulent history. Over the years it has been home to pirates, robbers and murderers as well as countless common crooks. It has been attacked by rebels and rioters and gutted by enemy bombs. Since the 1880s, the building has housed a museum. Today it tells the story of the building and of crime and punishment in Great Yarmouth through the ages. |

Back in the 2000s I took a trip or three to America. Mostly taking in Bob Dylan Shows but making a holiday of it as well. One of the places I went to was Albany in New York which is the state capital,there was relatively little to do there but the architecture was quite impressive,below is a picture of the city hall and Empire State plaza the second being a little concrete jungle but impressive non the less.   |
