    Wink

    Methinks Madame Teapot's lid must have such a very large crack in it, that a woollen 'cosy' cannot quite conceal it [[now I bet even Smokey Robinson couldn't make a successful song out of that...)

    Arr&bee .......if you have any favourite R&B singers or singers that you would like me to research, so that they receive a mention right here on their birthdays, then let me have a list of them.....or just whenever their names come into your mind....and I will do my best to include them....

    That, of course, also goes for you, Moe, if you have any favourites of your own. That should 'go without saying' really, but I'm just saying, anyway.....

    Arr&bee, please thank Madame Teapot for the invitation to visit the new Teahouse.

    I will need to confer with Ms Moe [[Superstar). Even though she has, with consummate ease, already taken tea and engaged in convivial conversation with HM, Ms Moe may need to draw on all her international expertise in diplomacy, if she is to carefully consider the correct apparel required whenever one is to be introduced to a teapot.

    Since it's you, Moe - Treat!

    Keep a close eye on the window by your front door - and that door must be kept firmly locked and bolted.

    Arr&bee knows some very dubious characters.

    Birds of a feather, etc.

    You know just what I'm talking about....
