Never got the hang of combing myself out, properly, though and resorted to chemical warfare. <BR/>If you want a hand, give me a shout.

The expression for Northumberland and sunshine is an oxymoron.<BR/><BR/>By the way - we always used the expression "sea fret" when the mist came in on the Yorkshire coast.

You need to find some young twenty somethings with little experience of tragedy for tea and sympathy. <BR/><BR/>As for the nits, you could always leave them and see if they grow as big as beetles? Then have nit racing competitions? Strangely acupuncture works for nits.

But it's not really your commom-or-garden fog and deserves such a name. Haven't really seen it anywhere else either.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-60620766501300944582008-06-09T21:00:00.000+01:002008-06-09T21:00:00.000+01:00Gastric Band?
