Hi UNO!I can see there's someone else on S/Leedsas daft as me! Is it possible??You'll have to wait till August for the Puffin-Stuffin' competitions,tho'!It's the St.Kilda version of Dwile-flonking,I understand?You are allowed to practice on Fulmarsand Kittiwakes,tho! (NOT Gannets or cormorantsplease.) It's their One Day a year mating season on 1st July,when they all stop 'Dipping' in the sea,and retire to a nicecosy cliff to do it! You can hear them calling,'Over here,lasses!Squawk!Tonight's the night! EEEEK!').Do you think this sketch will be 'booted off'also? Mind you,there's always Radio Leeds,ifthey'll let you get a word in! CheersArry
