I was with you every step of the way on the gin-regretting hunt for Barbecue Man, and loved the description of the woman with Playmobil hair and clamped arms - there's one at our school, too. Horrid, horrid children - my heart goes out to dear F10 (although he does sound a bit of a pickle, what with the slippery-fish hand incident in Boots - more than enough to drive a mother to gin). Would love to know what the ledge looks like. A lot better than Playmobil hair, I'd wager.<br /><br />Fab, fab writing, Milla - you are a star, you know.<br /><br />(I'm not sure which is worse, PM, unshod-foot-wise - playmobil or Lego.)Brown Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02760318815660274315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561630962952236138.post-65203381146707466402009-06-10T19:16:50.822+01:002009-06-10T19:16:50.822+01:00OMG, how scary.
