Well, truth be told it's a bit of a dum...Ah, I see. Well, truth be told it's a bit of a dump these days - it's just full of old hippies and disused shipyard-thingies. I am intrigued by the place, but I'm also put-off by the hippies.<BR/><BR/>As for Sparky Ma, well I've heard some stories about that island. She used to go over there when she was a rebellious teenager. They used to put an ink stamp on your wrist to show you'd paid to get into the gigs, but then she'd have the problem of trying to rub it off before she got home, because Sparky Nan forbid her from going there. Of course she couldn't and Sparky Nan always found the evidence. <BR/><BR/>However, there was one time Sparky Nan found the 'mark of Eel Pie Island,' and she was just about to, like, ground Ma FOREVER, when Ma blurted out "But I saw Long John Bawldry!"<BR/><BR/>Sparky Nan apparently stopped in her tracks, then said "*Gasp!* Did you!? What was he like!?!?" and all thoughts of punishment were forgotten.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214166935447694402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24004556.post-52220289537266437022007-04-09T15:42:00.000+01:002007-04-09T15:42:00.000+01:00A friend of mine was talking about it, and then an...A friend of mine was talking about it, and then another friend who lives near there mentioned it too.<BR/><BR/>Sparky Ma has stories...?

I wonder if there are pencils that are carved and painted to make them look like totem polls?

I don't think you've asked this before…<BR/><BR/>Hmmm…<BR/><BR/>I've never been there, though I've been past it loads, and stood on the shore and stared across at it. Now, Sparky Ma could tell some tales about that place. Oh yes, she could…<BR/><BR/>Why d'ya ask?Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214166935447694402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24004556.post-35089507534285247682007-04-09T10:04:00.000+01:002007-04-09T10:04:00.000+01:00Damn, I was gonna make that cut n shut joke until ...Damn, I was gonna make that cut n shut joke until I came upon it but one line later!<BR/><BR/>I'm sure I've asked this, but have you been to that Eel Pie Island in Richmond?skillzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02638588940126542733noreply@blogger.com
