Grover D. Pomegranate,

25/06/2009 08:53:40
And if you think standing on telephone directories impresses me, you've got another thing coming young man.
3

Grover D. Pomegranate,

25/06/2009 08:53:52
And what do you do?
4

Grover D. Pomegranate,

25/06/2009 08:54:28

7

Grover D. Pomegranate,

25/06/2009 08:55:55
I sneaked up on mummy, and, just as I tried to grab her neck, the old dear turned round!
8

Grover D. Pomegranate,

25/06/2009 08:56:39
I was carrying Alex Salmond to the lift, like this, when he slipped right out of my hands...

Grover D. Pomegranate,

25/06/2009 08:58:53
There I was, carrying mummy's birthday cake, when this seagull swooped down and the whole thing smashed to the ground.

Don't look at him, but is that stalker still behind me?
11

Grover D. Pomegranate,

25/06/2009 09:01:05
Yes, I tried my hand at throwing clay but my vase ended up looking more like a rugby ball.
12

Grover D. Pomegranate,

25/06/2009 09:01:50
You put the cake in the oven at gas mark 5, and you just leave it for half an hour. Simple, young man.

19

A Clamper,

Edinburgh 25/06/2009 10:30:20
One spends six million on staff costs each year and still the blighters get wind of my thirty million in travel costs from the taxpayers. It's an outrage !

23

EmzJ,

Edinburgh 25/06/2009 10:34:31

You honestly want to know what I think about the architecture of the Scottish Parliament building?
30

Grover D. Pomegranate,

25/06/2009 10:52:14

Edinburgh 25/06/2009 10:54:46
And this is the profile I'll be wanting on the stamps, OK?
