So I have now been forewarned:) Cute, witty footle, Viv! Congrats on a merited win. // paul

Paul, you surprise me, I never had you down as a Mankini wearer- more of the Hawaiin shirt, knee length shorts and a pair of UGG 'Australian Ithan' sandals, no expense spared. Chugging a Farson's Hopleaf extra, sort of guy.

Thanks, Anne-Lise, surf shorts for me. Couldn't wear the Mankini if I tried because ASA which doesn't mean 'Norwegian Air shuttle', but 'arse sags anyway'. Elsker, Viv x

:-) The comments and your replies were as much the source of laughter as the footlong...er...footle. Take care, Viv, wouldn't want you hurt! :-) Excellent entry. Should do well in the contest. :-)

Thanks, Kim, I promise to stick to wearing Speedos like Daniel Craig in future. You'll just have to ignore the legs. And thighs. And six pack. And chest. And arms. I have nice ears. Viv x

Hahahahaaaa.. OK.. got the message :) A tight footle xx~xx

Tight isn't the word, Brenda. As the old saying goes, if God was male, why did he put man's dangly bits on the outside? Thanks for stopping by. Viv x

oops, sorry Jan, I scrolled up too far. Glad to see you're more chipper. Makes me happy. Viv x

Ian, that's a dreadful mental image, made me shudder LoL. I remember queuing behind a guy at an ice cream van, who ordered a cone using a very croaky voice. "Crushed nuts?" the ice cream man asked. "No," he replied, "Laryngitis". Regards, Viv
