Only wahine machines and cars that need scrotums?

Could think of others

Next to the station?

That's right, at the moment if you go past the station and over the bridge the road is closed the other side of the plant centre due to resurfacing work.

Just had an intersting thought. Mrs D has come back from visiting a friend who has a double barrelled surname. Now, in days of yore it came about when wealthy women would, upon the death of their husband, revert partially to their maiden name, and thus become Mrs Maidenname-Marriedname.

These days though every bugger is at it. Mrs D's friend went that way when she got married and combined their surnames. Now, this got me thinking. If her children do that they'll have 4 surnames, if their grandchildren do that they'll have 8 surnames, and that would be a bit silly. Even worse if they're Icelandic and have son or dottir the end.

Be alright if some of them made it a professional footballers.
Imagine the cost of the letters for the name on the replica shirt

I use the one in Hockley Heath sometimes, I don't know the one by the lake, I've used the craft centre in the past.

Iceland doesn't work quite like that
1 - names have to be agreed by the Governement
2 - they don't really have surnames - eg. Magnus Magnusson is "Magnus son of Magnus" (wouldn't work in some parts of Britain - Wane Unknownson )
Telephone directories in Iceland are in first name order so John Davidson would appear under J not D

Howling winds this morning. Tea, read book, go back to sleep. Later, tea, light fire, read book, go back to sleep.

Windier than my Y fronts after a night on the John Courage.

I used to go to the motorcycle club that meets at Earlswood Cricket Club, on Rumbush Lane, just down the road from the station.
