Obvious choice, of course, but you still can't chuck a bunch of coconuts at this classic reggae ape singalong platter, my man!

    So, 'ave yersel' a banana or two, Mr Piandes, & keep variety as the spice of GP. Addicted to show since you dropped Malaguena into the mix a few moons back, real quality move...

    Looking forward to DH#33&1/3.  less

    Yes indeed some of us do remember what ears are for, and why swingin' melodies will always always be cooler and infinitely more satisfying than bawlin' & rockin'.... Hooked!

    Many thanks, Miss Angel, sterling work if I might say.  less

  • Gardening with Frogs (part 2)

    Posted October 18, 2009

    I have just returned from inspecting my frost encrusted back garden and (unfortunately) have to report another dead frog. I can just about make out prints, but from foot, hoof, claw or paw I have no way on knowing as the morning sun has melted a goodly proportion of the edges. This is now becoming v...

    Posted October 17, 2009

    And from the very moment my ex-girlfriend's canine uttered these words I got the distinct impression I was in trouble. I hadn't seen her (the ex) for several years, so much so I failed to recognize the crumpled figure camped on my doorstep yesterday evening. OK it was a different colored glass eye i...

  • Gardening with Frogs (part 1)

    Posted October 12, 2009

    You know how it is? Suddenly a favorite frog that you have seen develop from spawn and avoided stepping on for months (if not years) suddenly, from nowhere, hops out in front of you. I'm certain it has happened to you all at some time in your life. Picture the scene, it looks up accusingly as your f...
