>>Ahhh! That explains how Barbie never got pregnant then! Is it only Ken who comes equipped then? Come to think of it, Barbie wasn't all that 'anatomically detailed "down there"'. And here's me all these years thinking I could very easily have been a teenage granddad!

>You have the advantage of me there. I never have seen a Ken sans trousers. I'm almost intrigued enough to go and buy one and have look.

No advantage. I asked if it was only him. After all, if Barbie got pregnant, and it wasn't Action Man, it must have been Ken.

>Hows the allotment BTW. Things should be beginning to get going there now. You should post a webcam up there si we can enjoy the fruits of your labours.

Don't get all that much time (or daylight) to get up there except w/es. Have dug out/over a new bed, weeded and dug over others, moved and bagged up half a mountain of well-rotted horse muck, and spread it where appropriate. Some of last year's crops (cabbage, sprout, chard and leek) are on their way. Apart from that the plot's been dormant till recently. The goldfish in my pond survived being iced over (3" thick) - well at least one of them I've spotted.

As for fruits, last year's planted strawberries have spread and the raspberries hopefully will grow big and strong.

Webcam? I'm scared enough about finding my shed broken in without leaving computer eqpt up there! Besides, watching the plot would literally be like watching grass grow! :-)

I'll have to post up some pix of my beautiful infrastructure :-)
