#71, You forgot the "Earing" John!

[j.sabourn]

It interferes with the earring aid Marian. Could have it shifted to the nose I suppose. But would play havoc with the paper hankies. Eyebrows would also interfere with the Grecian 2000 applied to them and cause the 22 carrot (carat) gold to tarnish. Only place left is the belly button. This will never be seen there, so will have to go and be a flasher. Maybe that's what half these flashers are trying to do, just show off their earrings. Cheers JWS

No problem with the Grecian 2000, or 3000 for that matter. At sea the air had a lot to do with our wellbeing, never sick but very often poisoned by some very doggy alcoholic beverages. But once ashore things began to change. Though I still thought as a young lad, now a 16 year old with some 56 years experience I noticed some odd things going on with my body.
Some, but not all, of my teeth took a dislike to my mouth, my eyes insisted on looking through some glass, but for some unknown reason my body began to grow again, so much so that I grew through the top of my hair. So no matter how powerful the Grecian may be it will not work for me.

My dad was cook on the Elletman ships, often told us about curry for breakfast. Any one remember Eric Davies from Liverpool?
