"You're never alone with a Strand" was another disastrous ad campaign.

Queen Victoria smoked cigarettes to keep the midges away when she was in the Scottish highlands.
Quite prophetic really when you think that today if you go to a public place and want a smoke you have you go and be a sad old/young person standing in the street!

I got a new anklet 
Good evening Lyn. Oli is fine though somewhat restless with this heat wave that had driven everyone nuts, believe me.
True, that something in between would suit everyone, BUT....what if that 'in between' is not available? I can assure you it is NOT here. We have FREEZING COLD Winter (with SNOW!!) and BOILING HOT Summer: desert climate (UGH!!). Too bad isn't it?
How's Lola? Picked a new name yet? It seems not. Please let me know if you did.
Surprised she didn't have her servants doing it for her.
Hi Gillian, no in between possible everywhere I know, but in an ideal world........etc
Lola is still Lola. I did ask him to pick his own name but he isn't really bothered about it.
He has had a good day outside today though, which is just as well as the rain is back tomorrow.
The baby used on the Gerber baby food jars was a Texan girl baby, called Ann Turner Cook who grew up to be a very successful writer.

Anyone who makes fun of you and Spud and his Instagram stuff are not friends (if they are being nasty and not just gentle teasing).
They are probably all just jealous that Spud has more followers than they do.

No, I've had this before and she started making fun of me quite personally and in the end my parents had to call hers it got so bad so I really don't want this grief
Now she's back and friends with all my friends and trying to embarrass/mock me infront of them
Sorry you are having problems - she is probably just jealous. People who belittle others only do so to make themselves look better and if they have to resort to that then there is obviously something lacking in their own lives or personality.I'm Having an ex friend try and make fun outta me in front of a load of boys about spud having an Instagram account right now and saying I have fake followers...

Obviously tortoise jealousy. Not everyone has their own spud.
is it something to do with the pronunciation of MR2 est m......... tu something or other?
Some people are just plain nasty. be better than her, rise above it.No, I've had this before and she started making fun of me quite personally and in the end my parents had to call hers it got so bad so I really don't want this grief

Points.
In French pronounced 'm er deux' which is very close to French for a word that means pooh, which I won't mention directly here.
So the name of the car is the Toyota Poop.
Much the same happened with the Toyota Starrion, which when it went into production the European director of Toyota rang Japan to confirm the name of the new model. The Japanese had decided on a male horse for the name as it implied speed, strength and beauty.
But when spelling "stallion" over the phone the Japanese pronunciation of the letter 'r' led to the misspelling which was never corrected.

Not a poopular choice of car then?
