Love your seagull, he looks like he is eyeing you up. Can you buy the Rock in the shape of things there. My favorite is the one shaped like suasage and eggs, so classy.
Mr Swings: Funny, I was clambering up a huge cliff [in a cowardly manner] and I thought of you and your Greek expedition... it spurred me on to get to the top.
Lulu: I may buy something bigger than a beach hut!!! I am in the market to buy... or rent...
Daphne: Quadrophenia?? No...? Though this is weird, because I've just finished a book where a girl throws herself out of a window and the bloke, at the end of the book, tries to shoot himself. Everyday fayre.
I wonder what seagull and chips taste like ? Did you paddle in the sea and make sandcastles ?? Ride on a donkey ?? Wear a kiss me quick hat at a jaunty angle ??? Spend an evening at the end of the pier with Bobby Davro ??? We need details
I've always wanted to send a Post Card with.. "The weather's here, wish you were beautiful"
Some comedian from the 60s said it and I've always laughed at that because I am a simpleton who thinks that everything punny is funny.
I know that you are frustratingly beautiful so don't think that I am being unkind. The local men are no doubt plotting to have a viewing of your "white spots" :)

Hope your chips are safe from the gulls. Bring us back a stick of rock.
TTFN
I am here.
Pretty feathered rat. Happy vacation!
Some gulls will do anything for a chip soaked in ketchup.
Wastin away again in Margaritaville
Searchin for my lost stick of rock
Have fun!
That gull has a very saucy look in his eye. Remember Hitchcock Scarlet? Both hands on your rock x
That's not Minehed.
Head!
Hide your rock from the filthy seagulls! Those mofos will dive bomb and try to steal it from you! Filthy, filthy flying rats!
Lovely pic by the way. That's a beautiful view. Enjoy your vacation!
Ah, Scarley, you are still with us, I was getting worried about you! (Bono? Are you in Ireland then? That seagull certainly does look Irish.)
Love your seagull, he looks like he is eyeing you up.
Can you buy the Rock in the shape of things there. My favorite is the one shaped like suasage and eggs, so classy.
Blackpool?
Did you ask my permission to go on holiday?
Glad you're having fun. I wish I was by the seaside too!
Scarls, try eating the rock when you're finished, and do try some antiseptic cream for the carpet burns.
And what about Larry jnr. and Adam?
Have fun! xxxx
An indecent stick of rock is generally more fun.

Oh hey Miss Scarlet
You can't just leave like that. You scared me, thinking you'd just gone. Always check in, yeah?
[End of concerned rant]
I hope you had a lovely time though.
I need you to help me give Beast a wedgie.
Are you back yet?
Welcome back! Hope you had a great vacation...and found a decent piece of rock!

That's ok then, but don't let it happen again..
Help me, Miss Scarlet!
I touched Beast's bare bum!!!
Welcome back! Did you smoke on the beach? X
Isn't it about time we saw some of these holiday pics?
Mr Wolfy: I am a bit patchy, but I will fill in the gaps with fake tanning lotion.
Mr Beastie: I did buy a jaunty hat whilst you mention it... and I got mistaken for a 12yr old...
Pete: I promise!
MJ: Was it hairy? I suggest that in future we always wear some sort of anti-contamination suit whenever we visit Mr Beastie's lair.
