Does the ‘NON’ from o’er the Channel toll the knell for Europe’s hope
Of a Constitution meant to bring us closer?
Will the Dutch now do the double, will they cut the treaty’s rope?
Will they answer Brussels’ question: shouting,” NO sir?”

Melissa: you mention ‘frog meeting Princess’…I would say , according to Isabella’s avowed preference for the French way of life, if / when she eventually succumbs and goes , surely it would be the Princess meeting with the Frog

The French have voted no. May I suggest that we quickly have a referendum to vote yes to the new constitutional treaty so that we can move rapidly to a new Europe which excludes the French?

Centralization is never a good idea!

EU Constitution? Non !

Perhaps for the flimsiest of reasons
But then, once again, perhaps not
The French have decided against it.
They struck whilst the iron was hot.
Napoleon Chirac cannot hope to get back
Those dreams of an empire he had,
Of a new francophonic renaissance
Today , as he woke,had gone bad.

Being that we need a bout of silliness around here then I may just as well making an offer of being silly.

Therefore Plymouth Blog productions presents a little light satire from last year called: ‘Plymouth: Summer In The City.’ I hope you all enjoy this little tale of living in a small corner of England.

Melissa – I think a bout of sillyness is long over due around here – at lest at the top of the page we have a Muppet to get things started. All together now – ‘It’s time to get things started/ Its time to dress up right/ Its time to get things started on the Muppet Show tonite…’

Isabella – I don’t thing things are that bad in Plymouth, although to read the local papers you would think so, their just so unbalanced. And some times have the habit of trying to write a discourse on the city that few people on the ground reconise. In the end when you try to bring new ideas to the table they just don’t want to know. You just try and make things look fresher and they shot you down. I’ve called this the saddness of the modern age. Sometimes I wonder if this city ever left the 1970′s. Or it could be that I’ve been here to long – love/hate – time to move may be. I must admit sometimes I don’t think this city has enough Newspapers everything is owned by the same company and follows the same line of discourse as the Daily Mail – but then both the locals are owned by the Mail group so no other voices have the hope in hell of being heard.

By the way on a lighter note – Does any one know if The Muppet Show is out on DVD?

Nick, brings out cymbals and begins merrymaking with castanets and pom poms

..while Simon Holledge and Vicus prepare speeches and Jozef rustles up some cracking jokes and quotes

Boris then calls a halt to all this and stands as leader to enforce authority and no-nonsense on this site

Macarnie, however, takes pity and unpicks fluff.

*penny drops*

Lo and behold Isabella then sees the light and converts to ‘non’ vision

It all becomes clear all round at last.

……mmmm…….Happy fairy tale ending at last just like frog meeting princess
