Ahhh, Val and I talked about many things via the phone, but I forgot to mention the other thing that had made me laugh yesterday...
"I trust there will be no more INTERRUPTIONS, *ahem* Akito!"
And we talked about the King Prawn, and the purple bulbous tumour fish, and Otafest, and the "guy in the front row", and the fact that I ruined my feng, and much much more!
