IFFYTON HIGH STREET

Those adorable people at Fuelmyblog – well Sylvie is adorable, Kevin’s ok-ish – arranged, very efficiently, for me to receive a t-shirt from one of the stores to be found in Iffyton High Street.

The experience was as smooth as something that is really smooth, let’s say custard that isn’t lumpy, and my t-shirt arrived almost before I ordered it. The Iffyton High Street is one of the nicest and cleverest web pages that you’ll encounter on the interweave.

I’m beginning to regret my choice a tad though, for two reasons.  1) Apparently there is a Lily Allen t-shirt which I failed to notice and 2) The one I choose got me in trouble with Colonel Witherspoon, who lives just down the road in ‘Dunkillin’. Apparently, I’m “not showing enough respect for Sir Winston and if I wasn’t in a wheelchair I’d put you over my knee and give you a damn good thrashing”……… reeeeeeeesult!

    The mitre on that architrave looks a tad squiffy. Not that anybody would notice…

    the t-shirt looks great – the box…took so getting used to but the dance is a NO!
    I am sure TG will agree with me!

    daddyp replied:

    It’s a shame that the photograph hasn’t caught my hip action – what with that and the splendid t-shirt my position as a ‘babe magnet’ rose dramatically ……

    penfold replied:

    Dream on MacDuff…

    fracas replied:

    Ummm… magnets are dangerous you know. You shouldn’t probably mess around with being a magnet. You just never know what might happen

    I am to parties what Gordon Brown is to charisma ……

    gitwizard replied:

    Doesn’t he keep telling us that he’s robustly charismatic, I was getting hacked of with ‘prudence’, no offence Pru.

    70steen replied:

    ahem are you dissing my cousin there GW?

    gitwizard replied:

    I would never ‘diss’ your cousin (just tell her to choose something from Iffyton, and i’ll have it speeding to the north).

    70steen replied:

    she is in OZ.. so she may not hear you dissing her name

    gitwizard replied:

    I’ll have a word with Archie, maybe he could pass it on.
    BTW, is this comments section being renamed ‘This Morning with 70’s and Gitwizard’ ?

    gitwizard replied:

    DP, can you introduce an app to your site, so that we can go back and repair all these grammatical errors, it’s annoying me now.

    70steen replied:

    be thankful you said ‘This Morning ‘ & not ‘Pinch Judy’ .. no matter how many layers of shin pads you put on would not have protected you!!!

    gitwizard replied:

    I thought it was me who was supplying silly comments, you’ve lost me with Pinch Judy, but as I don’t suffer from a TV, maybe that explains it.
    Luckily, whatever it meant, i’m hiding in the cliff-top mansion’s cupboard under the stairs again.

    daddyp replied:

    Good try GW ….. it’s a ‘bung-a-low-roof on it’.

    So nice to wake and be greeted with frank and meaningful discussions …….

    [love Iffyton High Street ... I must keep my eyes peeled for further offers ...So what were you grooving out to 'the Bluebirds over ..' or some other war time ditty ??]

    daddyp replied:

    Shame you missed the chance – they’re loverly – tee hee.
    I think it was something by Chas and Dave ………

    70steen replied:

    I am so glad I am almost 300 miles norff and have been spared bloody Chas n Dave ……

    gitwizard replied:

    The music maybe crap, but they’re good guys, i’ve picked them up from a famous (but also crap) holiday camp in Bognor (the last resort).

    Sorry to dump more non-thread stuff on your post DP, but just to warn anyone out there who is studying web-building, I was directed to notepad as a text editor, and clicked on notepad.com,/. Please avoid this site, they crashed my internet connection, took me 4 hours to get back on-line. Have just been having a look back there, would have realised they were scammers, if i’d noticed they cant spell fashionable!

    70steen replied:

    GW ~ see you must get yourself a blog this comment is worth a post on its own … you know you need to alert the masses of such dastardly deeds ……

    gitwizard replied:

    Thankyou 70s, hope your not teasing me, after the week i’ve had (giving the mobile a fatal bath, having raging flu) really didn’t need this, especially as I got my OU course details through today.

    gitwizard replied:

    And that’s why i’ve spent hours this week studying and BoldItalics, and i’m #0033FF &#033

    70steen replied:

    you have all the ingredients of a blog in one week GW… je must concour with the OU course that is a blog on its own (after having done one).. oh and man flu is another good post along with the washing of a mobile… get your ass in gear GW

    gitwizard replied:

    She’s bullying me DP, is this allowed on your comments section ?
    BTW, never knew you were a BOXer.

    daddyp replied:

    70’s is merely doing her job …… what do you think I don’t pay her for? I hope you’ve read the Fanzines – they should give you some idea how controllable she is ….. like posting jelly into a money-box……..

    gitwizard replied:

    Is that similar to knitting fog ?

    daddyp replied:

    Completely different ……

  7. Posted March 15, 2009 at 1:44 am | Permalink

    And I take it you ARE joking about Lily ?

    daddyp replied:

    Lily Allen is FANTASTIC [ignoring the stooopid things that kids do] – I’m proud to be a fan……… and, what is more, I have the support of the TG on this …..

    gitwizard replied:

    Oh you should have said, now you mention it, I can see the resemblance between young Lily and Carmen.

    You look so HIP!!! :)

    daddyp replied:

    ….. and things will only get better young Olga when one, or both, is/are replaced – tee hee

    I notice that the right hand doesn’t seem to know what the left hand is doing.

    Seems fitting, I suppose. ;-)

    fracas replied:

    …or perhaps that’s your version of ambidextrous?

    Wow. I’m amazed.

    fracas replied:

    Oh poo. That just means you’ll be able to drop papers with both hands now…

    daddyp replied:

    Does the right hand have to know what the left is doing? I can think of some circumstances where ignorance could be bliss …… tee hee

    fracas replied:

    Should I ever have the distinct pleasure of meeting you in person, you must please remember to use your RIGHT hand to shake my hand then. (I don’t think I want to know what your left hand is doing either…)

    daddyp replied:

    You mentioned poo first ….. just sayin’
