Even if the Council meetings were boring, it was a beautiful place to sit.<br /><br />As for those exercise balls, I also have one. I look at it occasionally and wonder how you go about deflating it.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-41370868276407843312012-07-10T17:11:23.647+01:002012-07-10T17:11:23.647+01:00Good listening... never heard of him before but it...Good listening... never heard of him before but it's the kind of music that would well accompany a few drinks in a darkened bar.

(It was Ansell's in the Midlands, where we were). He told him how they had had to do ten or so takes for the walking up to the bar and downing a pint sequence - consequently the men you saw walk up to the bar in the ad were concentrating hard on staying upright!Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-77214994398176065792012-07-10T03:18:22.904+01:002012-07-10T03:18:22.904+01:00These things can bring back a lot of the past.
