we haven't sold yet
the market is very slow
but, on the bright side, if we can't sell then I can delay going back to work for a while

Courage, Courage, BB!
Its a scary time indeed - not a nice feeling at all. Looking back it all seems very quick to us magnolians but it felt like forever at the time!
We'll keep our fingers crossed for you all.

Sandra,
I think we'll only ever spladoosh The Dadaist if he wears those orange shorts again. I don't think I will recognise him in trousers.

You won't see me in Portobello in those shorts. They are strictly for warmer climes I'm afraid.

God I hope it's not 50 years older - I can remember Marine Boy and his oxygum too!

Yup, me too! But wasn't she beautiful? And that

MARINA (voiced by Sylvia Anderson and possibly modeled after Brigitte Bardot) Beautiful girl from the sea, Marina is the daughter of Aphony, leader of the underwater city of Pacifica. She was kidnapped and enslaved by the evil Titan, until Troy Tempest helped her to escape from Titanica. Since then she has been a regular crew member of Stingray and often proves that she is an invaluable asset to the WASPs. Although speechless, Marina understands speech and makes herself understood by expressive body language.
On two occasions Marina spoke, one was in the episode "Raptures of the Deep" where she speaks in a dream sequence of Troy's. The second is on the TVCentury21 record 'Marina Speaks' and there Marina explains that her muteness is the result of a vow of silence, which if ever broken would result in the destruction of Pacifica.

Modern-day cultural references are kind of lost on me. Actually I'm thinking of becoming a High Court judge. I'm not sure what happened in the last 15 years but we had a couple of kids. Did I miss anything?

The best thing I ever saw involving marina was when we saw the Thunderbirds live show at the theatre. Anyone else ever seen it? It was absolutely brilliant.

I am disappointed in you Dadaist! I think that would be just the sort of thing a Dadist would do

Dada is a CLUB founded in Berlin that one can enter without taking on any responsibilities. Here everyone is chairman, and everyone can express an opinion on artistic matters. To be a dadaist is to be thrown by all things, to be against all accretion of sediment, to sit down for a moment on a chair means that one has brought life in danger . A fabric is torn when touched, one says yes to a life that wants to move higher through negation. To say yes -- to say no; the mighty hocus pocus of existence gives winds to the nerves of the true dadaist -- he lies like this, he hunts like this, he cycles like this -- half Pantagruel, half Franziskus and laughs and laughs. Down with the aesthetic-ethical attitude! Down with the bloodless abstraction of expressionism! Down with holier than-thou theories of the literary fools!
Well I never - is that what Dadaist means and can somebody please translate this into english for me

Hell's Cat, mu understanding of the word is to be non-conformist/ anit-order. Not very precise here but you get the drift... Where did you get that definition? It's a beauty!
