They can make that mistake once ....<br /><br />Martin - it may have been late, but it was a good one!<br /><br />Rachel - nope, no sign of needles today either. <br /><br />Friko - I'm so glad you said that!

And it inspired a whole post!<br /><br />Lovable - a DIY enthusiast .. and a BIY one, too (Bite it Yourself) I hear.<br /><br />Invisible - I know, it's SO annoying when they pinch our stuff! Can't remember when I last saw my favourite lipstick.<br /><br />Jayne - again, as I said to Friko, I really wish I hadn't inspired people's comments about dentists. Yes, the text from Dracula would be a great spoof on the real story.
