His companion, however, who avoided the festival facilities for three days, nearly made it home, but reached crisis point in Paddington station!<br /><br />Completely - See above. He sensibly seems to have lost his inhibitions. Perhaps a week's prior exposure to muck-spreading helped.<br /><br />Cloudia - You're right; there is something peculiarly British aboutsuch preoccupations!<br /><br />Gadjo - Quite! (Thank you for the tag; I've had a go).<br /><br />Sarah - I feel so sorry for the girl. Reading is supposed to be quiet activity.

There are some things that cannot be planned.<br /><br />Fancy - I remember now. Still have you down as a rocker, though.<br /><br />NB - When I managed to stop laughing at Steve's I read yours. I think I must have inherited a lavatorial sense of humour.<br /><br />Amanda - I can picture it; a certain inevitability. Did you retreive them? (Yes, of course you did. But I bet you never felt quite the same about them again)<br /><br />Madame DeF - He no longer has much faith in his ability to do that.
