So, Anthony, you have a double chin - was the gravy on an abberant or a regular chin?

Someone was in a national paper this week commenting that their favourite carol was "Gabriel's Message" and that they particularly liked the phrase "most highly-favoured lady". As any choirboy knows, there is no such wording; its "most highly-flavoured gravy".

No gravy, and only one extra chin - so failed miserably on the counting front! :D Two butts involved - me the butt of his joke and his receiving a metaphorical kick from me!

I hope the kids weren't singing 'most highly flavoured gravy' when we sang that carol at the Advent service at St Modoc's Episcopal Church, Doune on Sunday. I'll be checking again at our (Dunblane Cathedral) 9 lessons and carols a week on Sunday (6.30 p.m.). ::)

One of these Flocon's is for a forummember, guess who!

Hopefully one is for Anthony  8)

Hoorah.   ;D 

From all the posts that have been made over the last few weeks I think that Anthony will be the very happiest recipient.   ;D

Best wishes
