You advise that 'on the strength of this post alone' a Muccihood goes to VC10 Boy. Are you aware that this so called 'post' is, in fact, a carbon copy of a post originally made by VC10 Boy some 50+ days earlier, on 28 November 2006?

If VC10 Boy can get a Muccihood now for a post from last year then, applying the same logic, Noddy Holder should be getting a knighthood from the Queen every year for Slade's annual rendition of 'So here it is Merry Christmas'!

PUCCI - As a four-time Mucci recipient I understand better than most the value of such an award. While I am delighted that VC10 Boy has recently joined our exclusive ranks (does he know what the initiation ceremony entails?) I feel it my duty to draw one minor detail to your attention.

How you pour seduction in my ear! Yes you are quite right - but as I had not read that post I did not know. In any event - Muccihood was earned on the strength of that post and for pst services to this Board. He has come a long way in a very short time. What this has to do with Noddy is beyond me - Iwas not aware that hairy creature had a knighthood in the first place.
I am also unwilling to trigger a hissy fit of Elton John proportions if I tried to take it away. Life is far too short.

OMG I have a colleague working over here today and he literally came over to see if I was choking or dying instead of laughing. Please excuse me as I pick myself up from the floor.

PUCCI - My little belly dancer; you're absolutely spot on. VC10 Boy has indeed, to paraphrase your words, come quickly. The BAEC Forum would be the poorer without him. ^

Gosh I'm blushing.
I also have a warm feeling inside for all you lovely people.
I must try and uphold the high standards that go with Muccidom. I emphasise try, the spirit is certainly willing, but the body has a mind of its own at times

Hopefully the scratching and stiffness of the diamonds will make him realise something's wrong fairly quickly!

I must warn you of this. Those knickers might be mine. A pair disappeared off the washing line and they match that description. Modesty precluded me from mentioning this before but I feel that I must speak out.
Smirnoff - I want them back please they are far far too small for you.

Dearest - I am but a weak willed woman. Even I can be swayed by blandishments but you are so right. He played loose and I dumped him. I have never ever been referred to as a Belly Dancer before but there are times when I am Fay Wray to his King Kong. Come to think of it the resemblance is very striking.

Actually Phil was sending a diamond studded bra, though that doesn't stop him being your phantom knicker thief.
The things that go on in Surbiton!

I use a Nomad Convertible 25 which I bought in the sales years ago from Cotswold Outdoor sketchy details of the bag + photo can be found here.
The dimensions are 410mm W x 290mm H x 180mm D and I find it perfect for a quiet weekend away, or as hand luggage for longer trips. I would love to get a 40 and a laptop bag from Nomad in the same style but I can't find anyone who still does them! No wheels but they do convert from a rucksack to a hand bag to an over the shoulder vey easily.
Sadly some baggage handling ****er nicked the leather luggage tag holder that came with it after I stuck it on a checked bag (cos there were no other details on the bag apart from the ones applied at check in, and they suggested it would be safer that way).
