moved here about 8 years ago( originally a Wirral scally, then travelled around with her magdes navy for 12). Now live at horsham st. Faith and very nice it is too. Fields infront and behind the house and little need for volume control. :gig:

it wasn't when i left in '88!
whenever i go back i can really see how much money has been pumped in and it catches me out how green it is.

Hi Muff,

Tell me, have you ever arrogantly twisted the sterile canvas snoot of a fully charged icing anointment utensil, in order to poot forth a quarter-ounce green rosette near the summit of a dense but radiant muffin of your own design?


..............just thought I'd better check.

It will be a reference to FZ I would imagine.

The muffin man is seated at the table in the laboratory of the utility muffin
Research kitchen... reaching for an oversized chrome spoon he gathers an
Intimate quantity of dried muffin remnants and brushing his scapular aside
Procceds to dump these inside of his shirt...
He turns to us and speaks:

Some people like cupcakes better. I for one care less for them!

Arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully charged icing
Anointment utensil he poots forths a quarter-ounce green rosette (oh ah yuk
Yuk... lets try that again...!) he poots forth a quarter-ounce green rosette
Near the summit of a dense but radiant muffin of his own design.
Later he says:

Some people... some people like cupcakes exclusively, while myself, I say
There is naught nor ought there be nothing so exalted on the face of gods grey
Earth as that prince of foods... the muffin!

You'll have to excuse my ignorance, dude. I have no idea what/who "FZ" is or it's relevance to the Wirral, or Norwich :confused:

Ah, LOL! :doh:

But then I'm not a sufficiently big enough fan to know his lyrics off by heart...
