HELP!!!

[dulwichmum]

My little girl Freya has been dreaming of a Baby Born "Mummy I can swim" doll (I hate the vile doll and have been trying to discourage her from this fixation for a month) but now I can't find a single one on line or in any shop at all!!!

All is lost. Can anyone help? Please???

How unfortunate DM

Have you had a look here?

Obviously the nanny will need to eat dry toast for a few days but still...

Also saw something on Gumtree. They look rather odd.

[dulwichmum]

Dear Sean! You are a star! And, Michael - what can I say? I owe you boys a pint.

DM

[dulwichmum]

Can you believe it works out at ?47 pounds in stead of ?20 on EBAY!!! Nevermind at least I can get one now, and Ana the au pair is not Christian, so I am saving money by not buying her anything...

[Michael Palaeologus]

(Makes note in diary "DM owes me one pint" );-)

Perhaps one of your neighbors has a baby you could borrow and teach to swim. You could return it when the novelty wears off 2 weeks after Christmas.

I need somebody......

[dulwichmum]

The swimming baby was better than this vile toy...

Can you imagine that on the roof rack of my Audi Q7 coming back from Wales in the New Year? The shame!

[Michael Palaeologus]

New Year in Wales - oh the wild life! Cups of tea and barra brith and all tucked in at 12.05.

Is it available for carol singing?

[Keef]

Kids toys are bloody expensive and evil. I feel so sorry for those people who can't afford to buy their kids the thing that every other kid in their class has.

[Brendan]

Yeah. Back in my day we got a lump of coal and a kick in the pants.

[Keef]

Ha, lump of coal, you were lucky!

[dulwichmum]

OHMYGOD Keef! That clip is pure genious. I feel sick from laughing.

[Keef]

It was for the Secret Policeman's Ball for Amnesty in about 2001... It's a remake of

old Monty Python sketch, which was done in the original Secret Policeman's Balls

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I watched both tonight, have to say, the original is the best.

[mockney piers]

It predates monty python, though the original had cleese and graham it also had some

marty feldman and tim brooke-taylor.

Aahhh.. 'Now At Last The 1948 Show' My dad had an album of their sketches.

I grew up listening to that and 'I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again'.
