Wow, what an amazing creature. I had to google that, LOL. I didn't realise such a creature existed.

Hello, Honey

Gerald Durrell reminds me of his brother and The Alexandria Quartet. Probably time I read it again.

I was thinking that myself recently, Sugar.

And then there's the Avignon Quintet. With the black lesbian character called Trash. LOL.

Agh, agh, tell me about it! and I still have about eight FAWC stories to go through!

How naughty you are, telling me you don't want to dance before lunch and then tempting me with a bridge famous for dancing!

I go past this aqueduct sometimes on the train. What an amazing view to see it arching across the valley. (LLangollen aqueduct.)

That is the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. I have walked across it several times while my wife shudders.

Ooops! I did google Llangollen. I thought the valley looked a bit flat.

How was the conference?

Mmm, male voices!

Tom Jones. (Sex bomb.)

The Living Room

(A nightclub long ago in NYC where our party went after the prom. Tom Jones came over to us and acted as if I were an old friend. Got us a stage front table and treated us to a round of drinks. My date and the others were quite impressed. I've considered him quite the great guy ever since.)

Conference? Reasonable except wife and I seem to have volunteered to have roles on the committee of the organisation.

My role is simple. I can do it from home on my computer.

Her role? Could be demanding and involve travel to Birmingham. From East Kent that is a long way...

Association: Shirley Bassey, Welsh from Tiger Bay. Growl!

Hullo Jane!

Fountain pens.

When I had my knee operation, the surgeon drew the cross on the one to be operated on himself with his Mont Blanc pen. He made me the prettiest scar the post-operative team had ever seen, I was very ungrateful about it, I had been looking forward to something really butch, LOL.

Cambridge University Library, once described as a 'magnificent erection'.

When I worked at British Steel, many moons ago, I attended a meeting where one of the plant managers vehemently objected to some proposed maintenance work "because I've got that massive erection planned for next Wednesday."

He was talking about a scaffolding job, of course, but given he was a renowned womaniser with the nickname "Shafter", he never lived it down...

In the centre of Amsterdam, there's a National Monument.
It's more commonly known as the "National Erection"

Didn't JackLuis post about the new People's Daily building in China? (Article from The Guardian.) Owing to its bulbous shape with a rounded top, much fun has been had manipulating images of it to dangle from the TV headquarters building which have been nicknamed the Big Underpants. These piccies are banned in China, LOL.
