As far as I can recall there weren't any.
Bout the naughtiest thing was what the bride did when the vicar said, "You may now kiss the bride!" She nearly had him there and then in front of the altar.
By the time they got hitched, they had been together quite a while and had a littl'un. So it was very touching!
She was an ex-colleague, great girl! (Pretty too!) Lives in Cornwall now. :):):)

Just wondered if the Chunnel made an isthmus, but then an awful lot of places are connected underwater, if not the whol e planet except maybe bits of Antarctica!
Anway, every flicking time we drive to France I am certainly aware we live on an island!;)
But think the island is still big enough to have several different types of weather at the same time and it doesn't always blow over so fast.
The Normandy peninsula on the other hand, boy there it can change in the blink of an eye!
Think having mountains or high hills breaks the weather up a bit.

Being an island makes us vulnerable to the weather conditions coming at us from four directions and there is a marked difference in each of them. The closer one is to a coast, the more exposed to the type of weather coming from that direction you are. And don't forget the effect of the constantly changing Air Stream in the upper atmosphere. The height of the land mass that the incoming weather 'hits' the greater the effect - hence our Welsh wet weather! On the 'flat' east side of the island the more the wind is able to pick up speed, producing some very icy blasts at times - remember the Beast from the east? All this tends to make the centre of the island dryer and warmer than the coasts - as long as you are more south than the high land mass of the Pennine range!

Here in the west it is the Gulf stream that keeps the coastal communities virtually frost-free whilst the rest of us, just a few miles further inland and closer to the high land, cop it! The sea-life in and around Cardigan bay is amazing with animals and fish calling in from all directions! Have you been following our latest resident - Wally the Walrus? He tried the Northern Ireland coast and then moved over to the Pembrokeshire coast and has remained in Tenby harbour - unfortunately choosing to live on the end of the Lifeboat launching 'shute'. Why he has left his home and family up in the Artic waters no-one knows but he seems to be enjoying our warmer waters and very rich feeding grounds - he is getting fatter and fatter by the week. As you can imagine, his very unusual presence has created quite a stir and an enormous tourist attraction! He is being well guarded to ensure his peace and comfort whilst on his little sea jaunt. From Artic Walrus to hot-climate turtles, whales and sharks to pods of dolphins, we seem to get them all! All part of life on an island. :):):)
