Where would the Olsen twins be today without Full House? Nowhere, that's where. And where would I be today without Rittenhouse? In jail, that's where. Mainly because I'd be naked. You can have that bit of info on the house.

I can imagine Vivien Westwood is quite an old chav geezer on her own time. She's almost a pykie if you look close enough. I guess we're all a little bit pykie from time to time. Still she snared a very good looking young man named Andreas with her gypsy charms. I wish I had gypsy charms. I'd gypsy me these boots.

Do the French LOL? Or is it more LTN (Laugh Through Nose)? Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh! This t-shirt makes me LTN. It also makes me want to ECAHOWAHFBFTD (Eat Croissants And Hang Out With A Hot French Boy For The Day).

Bonsoir!

Do you remember that game Guess Who? Are you Charles the paedophile with the scary moustache? Richard the mormon? Or Maria the French spy dressed as a sexy librarian? It was a fun game but have you ever spared a thought for the people whose lives were changed forever, thrust into the board game spotlight, immortalised in cartoon and forever upheld in the rainy days hall of fame? No? Neither have I.

Message for today

So now that Julia Gillard has got us all thinking about 'moving forward' perhaps the Fanta pants among us could also think about possibly wearing pig tails like Pippy Long Stockings. Or Pippi Långstump as she is known in her home town of Sweden. I wonder if Pippy wears stockings like these? I have it on very good authority that Tony wears something very similar after a swim.

I don't like fleas very much. Little plague spreading blood suckers. I have to say though I don't mind their markets. They're surprisingly good retailers. Given that it's a sort of French week you might want to call them puce marche instead. Everything sounds better in french.

Vive la puce!

Saturdays are sacred. There are precious few in the week for a start and so when one sets out to do something on a Saturday there are certain standards to be met. You will not find any of these standards at the Carriage Works temporary (thank god) ice rink. It's an ice skaters nightmare. More cube than rink. And its empty. Definitely NSFW (Not Safe For Weekends). Fortunately there were a few stalls still open and one of them sold these: see left. If you do go Michelle B would be the only good reason.

You'll notice that the ring to my right (your left) is not credited to me even though technically it was my idea. I did say "you rock Dion" quietly under my breath at his RAFW show at the Opera House this year. I mean that's a collaboration, right? Manik obviously heard me and workshopped the idea a little further. Do you like what we came up with?

So my pirate days are well and truly behind me. I am now a certified land lubber and to that end I have thrown out all of my pirate paraphernalia. All my planks and pieces of eight and parrots, eye patches and piercings ... all except one favourite piratey thing that I couldn't bear to part with. My trusty diamante crusted skull phone. It really glammed up my poop deck. This Polly really just wants some cheese and crackers and a good chat. Shiver me timber flooring.
