   I missed this as my ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ freeview signal goes naff on a Sunday evening. This, ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳, is almost every sunday evening. And its only ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳, the independants are fine. I think its partly the aerial and partly ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ and its interactive services.

   A man enters a barber shop for a shave. While the barber is foaming him up, he mentions the problems he has getting a close shave around the cheeks. "I have just the thing," says the barber taking a small wooden ball from a nearby drawer, "Just place this between your cheek and gum." The client places the ball in his mouth and the barber proceeds with the closest shave the man has ever experienced.

   After a few strokes, the client asks in garbled speech, "And what if I swallow it?"

   "No problem," says the barber. "Just bring it back tomorrow like everyone else does

   RJD! Belinda! Behave yourselves!

   Eric, I grew up with the one-cheeked sort. Now I do both cheeks with good friends when we are feeling ironic and post-modern. I also do two cheeks with people I suspect are affected and so will expect that sort of thing. (It's the contemporary equivalent of bunny ears behind the head, dontcha know.) With most people a handshake continues to be most appropriate. With people I really love and am pleased to see, only a big hug will do.

   These are not rules and I may change my mind tomorrow.

    Appy (8): Am I allowed off the naughty step yet? It's a cold hard stone and it isn't pleasant to sit here for long period of time.

    And really, my comment was Eddie's fault, what with calling the thread "I had a nasty blockage" - it just lends itself to jokes.

    My part of Frace we have 3 kisses. Paris has 2, and when I lived in Genevè a few years ago it was 4 kisses.

    Yesterday we had a party in the salle de fêtes (=village hall?). I had a telephone call just as I was leaving to go there, and so I arrived as the last to come. It was lovely to have nearly 60 ladies waiting to be kissed. Thankfully, the men shake hands.

    Um - one cheek (right) for boys, one and maybe two (left - right) for girls, seems to be the way round here. But oh, that uneasy hover. Do I go in for the mwah? Or wait for her to?

    They order these things better in France.

    Well, Eric dear, whoever hasd caused the bloggage should kiss both my cheeks.

    Belinda, I tried to post to say that you could come in from the cold naughty step but the moderators evidently disagree with me because it hasn't shown up. I guess it's their call. ;-)

    Eddie,

    I hope the nasty blockage you've been experiencing has no connection with your being left in charge of the blog while Marc's away. Or has it???
    Surely not. He's only been gone five minutes. The blu-tac can't have given way already!

    Lembit and I shared an interest in the possibility of the planet being hit by a large near earth body. Unfortunately he has recently been pre-occupied with a different heavenly body. I've been left with the asteroids.

    Now, where's that cream . . .?

    No, I still think the Asteroids sounds more like a condition than a backing group.

    If we see it, and hear it, will we still believe it to be musical talent? ;-).

    You can only hope that you never have the opportunity. On a scale of 0 - 100, my musical talent doesn't reach double figures.

    Having said that, Mrs RJD tells me that I can really humm occasionally.

    Up north we do one. When I meet someone from the south I go for two and it always seems to be what they are expecting. There's a grey area in the south midlands where you just don't know whether they want one or two and that usually leaves me looking a mite foolish.

    Mikes, I understood the expression "do one" to be of Liverpudlian origin, rather than 'the north' in general. And what has that to do with kissing?
