Nudism... and taboos!

This just in from Eolake...

wheelbarrow_crThat nudist resort where I went as a boy
was okay till my organ began to deploy.
When puberty started to rear up its head,
my untimely erections would make me turn red.

When girls were equipped with what nature endows
then my southerly region could get quite aroused.
The problem you have when you go for a walk
is that girls like to tease till you're hard as a rock.

It's hard when a game that you played as a kid
causes nasty effects that the nudists forbid.
Just try to play Twister and dodge a disgrace
when opponents keep sticking their boobs in your face.

The wheelbarrow races I wouldn't advise
for you have to grab hold of a girl by her thighs.
A copious crowd always gathers to watch
while your you-know is grinding away at her crotch.

lake_crNow one of the guys had a way of relief
when his obstinate member was causing him grief.
He'd go in the lake where his girlfriend would be
and she'd lend him a hand where nobody could see.

And now that I've reached this cantankerous age
and I have to exist in this suit-and-tie cage,
I often return to that fountain of youth,
the place where my member was often uncouth.

But now I parade with no pretense of tact
for I'm HOPING my organ will start to react.
OK, the Open API stuff for Multimap: it can't be handled by Blogger! I posted it in and the Editor calmly deleted most of it.

Here's the code, HTML: - stripped out completely.
















and god knows how much of that will appear in the final piece. But what follows below (nothing!) is what Blogger's editor left...














Multimap: gets stranger and stranger...

When Microsoft bought Multimap, several of us pulled long faces and went into our Grumpy Old Men routine. But I have to admit, I'm baffled by what's been going on - or, more accurately, going off.

For example, the maps. I know I used Multimap to navigate a journey to East Sussex six months ago, and it was incredibly detailed. Yesterday, I tried again; the map has changed. It's about six years old - houses which were on the old map in blade-of-grass detail - gone! - just a vague blur which shows a building site (maybe).

Or the red circle. Six months ago, you could move it. So, if you wanted to send some directions, you could find the approximate area with a search (find, say Manor House Tube) and then focus in on the lake south of there. Then move the focus circle. bingo! - a URL for exactly the spot. Well, either I dreamed it, or it's been hidden, or taken away. Gone.

And what about the "I can't find this address" feedback button? I know it used to be there! Today, looking for a really well known landmark (the Welsh Harp lake at the London end of the M1 motorway) the only place it could find is a farm called Welsh Hook in Dyfed. And no feedback form at all.

Let's see what this "open API" thing is, and find out more...
