Can you do the can can
I've got my shorts, my sunglasses and a couple of quid in my pocket. We're having a whipround at the moment to see if we have the necessary to get at least a couple of us over to Cannes. Jeremy Rawlins is editing - you'll be familiar with him by now - his photo's just above Carrie's on the right. Really it has to be his final decision. See if you can persuade him!
Sparky Marc is PM number two today so he'll be keeping a close watch on the blog as well.
See you later,

Listen to PM
Welcome again, Sequin. We're sure you'd sparkle in Cannes, so you've got our vote.
Not that this is likely to carry much weight with Mr. Rawlins. Are you asking us to bribe him?
PM/Froggers definitely need to be represented at such a top cultural event; in fact there are so many talented people round here we could probably get a pitch together to justify our presence there!
hi Sequin you must def. go to Cannes.
re JR, what's his price?
I can indeed "Can Can" and drop straight into the splits at the end! Anyone want me to demostrate? Dancing sounds like much more fun than working!...
Aperitif, proud to be bendy... (?!)
Can you do the ?

Just above Carrie on the right - He looks the spitting image of Martha doesn't he ?
No, Ed, but can you do this?

jonnie - yes I must agree, somehow I had imagined Jeremy to be a little more butch than that. I think it's the blonde fringe & lipstick that surprised me most. Still, you know the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳- terribly broad minded& all that.
Well I certainly think someone ought to go to Cannes. Even if it's just to annoy Eddie, now that he'll be on his way north. The weather here is so horrible & grey & wildly windy I wouldn't blame you for trying to escape for a bit.
Go on Jeremy - be kind to the team. Let them have a little scamper somewhere sunny & warm. (All right - don't get carried away - I was just thinking of the nearest tanning cubicle at that little beauty salon round the corner- £5 for 10 minutes isn't it?)
Jonnie, I think you're confusing your Carries with your Carolyns.......
One is slightly reminded of a top Hollywood 'starlet' who shall remain nameless who wondered 'Where is the Cannes Film Festival this year ?'..
Appy - split tips please! Have never managed that (even with the yoga!)
Reminds me of a joke about French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan - "If anyone can, Lacan can"
So, Carolyn:
You put your right pic in
You put your right pic out
In out in out shake it all about
You do the hokey cokey and you turn around
That's what it's all about!
Jonnie: Either you're being v. mischievous (likely, I know) or you're misreading what Carolyn said.
J's photo is indeed just above that of Carrie, and both photos are on the right of Sequin's posting.
Just imagine what it would be like if we were at dance class and the instructor started giving directions ......
Newsletter arrived at noon! a British Land Speed Record candidate, surely?!

Let's see how you cope with this dance (instructions based on those found on Wikipedia, bizarrrely):
First of all, for the benefit of the directionally challenged:
Place your right arm forward, palm down.
Place your left arm forward, palm down.
Turn your right hand over, so it's palm up.
Turn your left hand over, so it's palm up.
Put your right hand on your left shoulder.
Put your left hand on your right shoulder.
Put your right hand behind your neck (RHS).
Put your left hand behind your neck (LHS).
Put your right hand on your left hip.
Put your left hand on your right hip.
Put your right hand on your right hip.
Put your left hand on your left hip.
Move your pelvis to the right.
Move your pelvis to the left.
Move your pelvis to the right again.
Simultaneously jump up, turn 90 degrees clockwise, and clap your hands.
Repeat.
Mischievous MOI ?? ;-)
Is there a hidden subtext here? Sequin has admitted to being something of a Glitter fan in her youth. Now she's hinting at Suzi Quatro too.
"Come on and Can the Can".
Must dig out my platform boots, Sweet glitter suit, Ziggy Stardust wig, Alvin Stardust chest wig, Rubettes glove and all the rest of that stuff from the loft.
Ah, nostalgia isn't what it used to be....
Si.
Ap - Do that again! Please!

Gillian @ 20...
..are frilly speedos ok dearheart?
Gillian;
Why is it that only the Ladies are invited to get the lacy knickers and frilly skirts on? I thought that this was an equal opportunites Beach?
Oh well, just have to sit and enjoy the show.
Si.
Sorry gents, I'm forgetting my manners....it comes from spending too much time taking daughters to Dance Shows......no males there, sadly.
Pleeeeeease do join in, in speedos, skirts, lurex, spandex - whatever you're comfy in. So long as it's frilly ;o)
DIW and Si, and all male froggers - I'm sorry, I'm forgetting my manners.....grab your speedos, skirts, lurex, spandex....whatever you're comfortable in - so long as it's frilly! Be quick, we're starting as soon as the sun goes down! ;o)
Sorry Witchi, can't offer tips -- I don't know why I can do it -- I was just made that way.
Frilly speedoes! There's an image!!...
