That's the sweetest plum. I'm keeping that and the casino licences for myself.

I hope the buckets will be posh castle shaped ones.

You missed out donuts, postcards and boxes covered in shells.

I'm surprised you're selling the whelk stand. Don't be too hasty. You are sitting on a goldmine. People can't get enough whelks!

The Economist just began a new feature called "Whelk Watch". Fodors is launching a whelks chat room, and it is rumored that whelks will soon have a seat on the NYSE.

Recently, Hello! magazine (which I swear I only read for the horoscopes)featured some scrumptious appetizers: whelks en croute, whelks in a blanket, and a yummy whelk paste (a bit like Haggis in a Tube) which is spread on toast points. To die for!

Back to travel. It is so kind of you to host the GTG. The Lido in Greenwich is sure to be a big draw. I hope it won't be a big hassle to greet attendees at LHR and drop them at their hotels. Luggage should be no problem as they will only have one small carry-on apiece.

I love the pink Wellies!!

But of course. It will be a by-law.

I also missed out windmills and punch and judy. I'm not cut out to be a tycoon.

Red Ken is one of the best things that has happened to London since the witch abolished the GLC.

At least he had the balls to do something about traffic by introducing the congestion charge.

Red Ken is the worst thing to happen to London since the Luftwaffe.

Perhaps you'd prefer Boris.

Aww thanks for the encouragement guys, I'm soooo relieved that you like my wellies..... I spent most of last night sleepless, tossing and turning and agonising over my choice of footwear.

I still remember the London Walk we did on Christmas day two years ago. We were standing on the Strand and the guide was telling us that until the mid 1800s the Thames came right up to that point. What is now the Strand was literally the "beach". Then we went DOWNHILL from there and he was pointing out some of the oldest houses in London -- where Charles Dickens lived as a child, etc. When I asked if Dickens were a good swimmer, he seemed not to get my point.

Damn right.

Of course one public schoolboy would prefer another............errrr, let me rephrase that

I think I heard something about Red Ken's plans for a birthday (or was it an anniversary) extravaganza honoring Fidel Castro. I hope this doesn't put a crimp in our GTG.

It's not until 2009 - and it's to celebrate Cuba's Olympic achievements (considerable).

There will something similar from lots of other nations (even the yanks!) in the run up to the Olympics.

Well I know I'm not gay - and given the amount of trouble with birds Boris has, I think we can take it that he isn't either.

Sadly I'm restricted from campaigning (because of my job) - other wise I'd be door knocking for Boris.

For all your Boris needs.....

Red Ken has done so much:

given Trafalgar 'rats on wings' the boot (allegedly)

cleaned up the Tube and buses

cleaned the streets

made peace with the Taliban

put more bendy buses on the streets

changed the traffic from driving on the left to the right right side

very effective congestion charge

called the yank ambassador a chiseling little crook or some such words

started the New Year's Parade

and on and on and on

Bob, there are times when I wonder if you hit yopurself over the head with a sock full of wet sand before posting....

But hey-ho...

Red Ken has done so much:

given Trafalgar 'rats on wings' the boot (allegedly)>>>>>

Not the last time I was there he hadn't.

cleaned up the Tube and buses>>>>

Now you're having a laugh.

cleaned the streets>>>>>>

Bwah hah ha ha ha....

made peace with the Taliban>>>>>

He did try and appease the Russians last time he was in power with his idiotic nuclear free zones, but as far as I am aware there are very few Taliban in London (they all live in Bradford)

put more bendy buses on the streets>>>

Everyone, and I mea everyone, hates the bendy buses.

changed the traffic from driving on the left to the right right side>>>>

You've put too much sand in the sock this time.

very effective congestion charge>>>

Maybe.

called the yank ambassador a chiseling little crook or some such words>>>>

That he did. he hates the yanks.

started the New Year's Parade>>>

Which is full of yanks for yanks. No self respecting Englishman is awake at that hour on New Years Day. Unless he's married. In which case he will be in IKEA
