Then moving elsewhere, he'd used his sketches to then start work on what must be England's best known landscape painting, and many decades later, Boy George arrived there too, to add his own karma.

There were quite a few dotted around this East Anglia area as we were a target for the bombings (not that I remember as I wasnt even a twinkle in the eye then  ) anyone else had one where they live?
We had one here too and it's now used as a landing strip for a local Microlight club

This word Lol. I wonder if it originated in South Africa. One of our comedians Leon Schuster made a movie Laugh out Loud.
When returning home from holiday in the U.K. at end June I had packed and locked my suitcases when I found two pairs of underwear on the line. Reluctant to open the suitcases I just put them in my handbag. In my bag were a number of old collectible coins I had bought in U.K. METAL!!!!!! Ting !Ting ! through security and with my luck my bag--searched by a man.Well did I LOL.
