Oh dear have I been squeaking annoyingly or is this a cunning ploy to discover if I weigh the same as a duck so you have an excuse to burn me?

Oh that is a relief. Had forgotten after so long. Not made of polystyrene but still a Shakespeare loving francophone who is freaked by gun obsession, dawdles and protests.

Lovely to see that a few out the young folk have achieved some of their ambitions.
