Re: Fish and Chips - with mushy peas?

Re: PAUL OGRADY
I do think its a shame about his plastic surgery as he is a great singer if not to everyones liking. i read he does a lot of charity work that he doesnt like to boast about.
and that he has a good head for money. apparently he has a slot just above the hairline

Re: i made some chooks from air dried clay last night
Thanks for ur nice comments . basically air dried clay is like a putty you can buy in craft
shops and you can shape it as u like. then let it dry naturally without havin to
bake it.the paints i use are acrylics then i sealed em with varnish.
