    It doesn't come with lights though now does it? That's for the the dwarf to stump up for. You'll just be glad he didn't waste Londoners money on anything extravagant, so he has more left for divali and ramadan*.

    The only Christmas lights you’ll see in your northern slum, is when you set light to your wheelie bins on Boxing Day <ok>

    I wish. The ****ing neighbours around here go ****ing mental with them. It's like walking through Santa's grotto to get to pub, then that's all decked out too.

    You really don't know me. No one knows me. I'm nothing but a wisp of mist on the merest of breezes.

    Ah, a rich art connoisseur. Are you looking to add to your collection?

    It is.

    It's worth a wander around the other museums too. All free as well, as are a lot of the history walks and talks. :emoticon-0103-cool:

    I do love art, but I'm no collector. I have a few copies (mainly Constable) hanging on the walls. I collect books and Subbuteo for the most part.

    I find most places have something worth looking at, whether it's a chantry or a small museum or gallery.

    I've spent two days in Mansfield, I'll have you know.

    Graveyards can give a lot of local history if you've time to kill in a place. I can't remember where it was, but I noticed a lot of the graves related to a number of sailors lost at sea, which struck me as intriguing as it was in the centre of the Country.

    For my sins, I forgot to look more into it, and can't remember where it was now.

    I did end up in a pub in the midlands, where the bench seating had hollowed out backs, which was to accommodate the humps that the local factory workers ended up with from hours stooped over their machines. ****ed if I can remember where that was either.

    I didn't get round to popping in when I went, as there was so much else to look at, plus I was disappointed to find not one of them seemed to be wearing a beret.

    The collection consists of 507 stuffed frogs of a common European frog species (lat. rana esculenta). The frogs have been stuffed in a very demanding way, using a taxidermy technique through the mouth, which is an extremely complex and time consuming process, so the exhibits are devoid of any external incisions. Comparing the Ferenc Mere’s collection with similar collections made by other authors, it is evident that Ferenc Mere was a master craftsman of taxidermy of small animals.

    I've got it. It's a heavyweight set. Cost me a pretty penny.
