Now how does this look to you?
This email arrived while I was away, from Harry Schilbach:
"Hi PM Team. Look what my girlfriend got me. Want one? Regards, Harry"
I'll reply to Harry next week. But I think the short answer is YES.

I might be more inclined to wear it if the spelling of your name was correct, Eddie ;-)
For wearing in the studio? Make a change from the rugby shirts I suppose.
No no Val, the spelling 'is' correct!
Harry's girlfriend was just being very clever. She tied in Eddie's name with the very essence of the blog - the beach.
Mare means sea in Latin, Romanian and Italian, where it enters as a component in balnear place names, e.g. Ortona Mare
--- 0--0-
Well give me 10/10 for trying - otherwise she will be mortified.
Gosh it's very wet here today :-(
Harry and his girlfriend are way behind the times -- I already have that, with th ecorrectly spelling of course, hand-embroidered onto all of my underwear. Keep up guys...
Aperitif @ 4
...when you say "Keep up guys..." that would mean..?
Oh, I see... I think...
tee hee Charlie (5) are you looking for an invitation to the naughty step? :-)
Excellent idea! Let the next picture be of your modelling please, Eric, and then I'll put my order in.
Appy - getting out the needle and thread as I speak - trouble is, I'm not sure if there's enough room on my underwear to stitch the entire message.....
I know, I know. I'm going.
No wonder they call you Perky!
The effect on the chaps must be....
O.K. I'm going too.
Si.
Ap - "with th ecorrectly spelling"
I think we might have to check said garments for spelling and grammar!
Neigh, neigh and thrice neigh.
But I like the Italian job, jonnie.
Er - is an eddy in the sea such a good idea, though?
So long as it's an Eddie Mare and not a Knight Mare.
Perky, can we have Eric in his speedos for Appy and Big Sis's sake, do you think? Or send him to Glasto for the wet rugby shirt shot?
I'm quite handy at the sewing, too. Maybe we should have a sewing circle on the Beach. Though sewing a circle can be tricky.
Si!!
*shocked face*
On a Saturday afternoon too!
Count me out on that one, RJD (9). I quite often ignore messages on T-shirts because part of the message is hidden by a curve. The thought of checking out Appy's . . . uummmmm . . . her . . ummm . . . things . . . doing a close inspection of . . . No. Sorry, I will not do it. I am not that good at spelling myself. I would probably not spot any error that was there.
H.
Perky;
you've little room to be shocked. Why, over on the Beach you've just put your little nuts up on the bar!
Ooooh Errrrr, missus!
Humph;
Still recovering from the 3rd June then? :-)
Si.
Perky! I don't think you're sposed to embroider while you're still wearing it..... (Ouch!)
Tee hee, you do all realise that Eric is never going to dare to speak to us again after this one, don't you?
RJD, Humph, obviously I didn't embroider it myself -- my misfingering is almost legendary now! I had it done by a professional. And no, I wasn't wearing the garments at the time...
Appy - I wouldn't offer to embroider his Speedos if I were you....
Oh, I don't know, Appy; I think he'll be back.
With Mrs M looking over his shoulder, though...
;o)
Good gracious - this whole thread appears to be something like the late night naughty review show which you would find at the Edinburgh fringe....
sigh.
Regards
John
Cant help it, aperatif. Professional legandary misfingering. I know, Naughty corner any room left.
Frances (10), The Wet Rugby Shirt look? Sounds like a fantastic idea! Why didn't I think of that??? But (17) Mrs M? Somehow I think not...
Wouldn't you Gossipmistress (16)? I mean, I know I shouldn't...
Stewart (19), I really should've seen that coming shouldn't I? Yep, go directly to the Naughty Step; do not pass Go; do not collect £200...
Good grief, children, what did I start? So sorry I've missed the chance to join in :o) Well tried though Jonnie - did you g**gle it?
Eddie - sorry about all that, It's a lovely tshirt, they are lovely people for being such dedicated fans, and please don't be embarassed by this thread. You did ask for it posting at the weekend though didn't you? Were you suffering from withdrawal symptoms?
Appy - stop giggling!
mare in romanian means great.
I'm reading "Playing tennis in Moldova" at the moment, by the bloke that Hitch Hiked round irelad with a fridge.
I heart eddie great? Make no sense to me :-)
Now really! What sort of welcome back is this? Be nice or Mr Mair might go away again and leave the frog in even more of mess than it has been for the last week.
Mr John Cooper: you caught us at a bad time - the boss has been away and we've got a bit unruly in his absence. Normally we confine this sort of nonsense to the Beach.
See my tale on the beach regarding the name of our community woodland, which occupies the mair.

Oh Val (21) Do I have to?
Welcome back Eric. I won't invite you to inspect my underwear for "correctly spelling", as I'll get all kinds of grief from fellow froggers, but I promise, I got it quite right...
What on earth have I missed? All I can see is a red advert for a certain virus-killer. Why on earth would anyone want to put that on their underwear and make it public?????????
Gillian (26), Eh?
Aperitif (27) I can't see a photo.....just a big red Mc**ee where a photo would normally be. ;o)
Oh dear Gillian (28)! Well there is a photo of a rather attractive male torso, wearing a grey t-shirt, bearing the legend "I 'heart' Eddie "n blue and red. Making more sense now?
Tell us, Appy, exactly what about said torso is attractive? (Just interested in why you said it, really)
Ffred : well, it's nicely proportioned and the shoulders are square. It all helps!
Works for me anyway....
Fifi (sneaking another look just to make sure)
Ffred,
Maybe it's the position, which might be misread as seeing a press-up from the floor? On my way...

Fearless (30), Fifi (31) has beaten me to it! It just appears to be a good shape under the pleasantly-fittting t-shirt.
Ed (32), If you can hear me from the naughty step then I hope you are thinking long and hard about what a bad boy you are!
Thanks Appy.....now I know, maybe I'll get a good night's sleep! It sounds lovely - pity I can't see it ;o(
Gillian, I have a cunning plan...
you can pass your driving test @ 17, watch "top gear", go out & buy your self a car (one of many) that can cruise at twice the national speed limit maybe even three times the speed limit. Need I say any more. P.S. my car cruises at 100.
