Morning again Marged, Can't say I've ever heard of Haslett, it's either public schools in Michigan or a harvesting company in Australia. The oracle says "I used to buy it to put in your dad's sandwiches" . So what is it oh great one ? "It's meat". Like a paste ? "No they used to cut it in slices". There's canny ! So I guess 50% sawdust , 25% school books and 25% combine harvester. Dave :-) Will a real celebrity cook please step forward ........... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marged" <marged@btinternet.com> To: <NORTHERN-ENGLAND-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, November 24, 2000 10:08 AM Subject: [NTH-ENG] HASLETT > Why don't one of you Northern folk tell our friends across the seas what HASLETT > is?

Morning Brian, Over 50 ex Wizz Kid here, nostalgic maybe , sad no - I played the cards that were dealt, the winner had a better hand. Enough said. OE5 Tools Menu - Message Rules / Blocked Senders List :- Add your blocked sender , if you haven't already. If you do the above then messages are retrieved to the deleted items folder - as you say Alternatively experiment with the options below ( remove blocked sender first ) :- Click on the "Mail Rules" tab and then "New" View the options and select the ones that are most appropriate for this sender. Perhaps :- "When the from line contains people" "Delete it from the server" I'm not sure you can do both blocked sender and mail rules for the same sender. When I tried it , the sender was blocked , but the message remained on the server , suggesting the blocked sender overrode the mail rule. Suggest you set a mail rule for your own e-mail address and send yourself a message - if it blocks OK then change to the real e-mail address.

Thanks Brian - I do, of course, have a long list of folders in OE (I've got files on all of you!) but there doesn't seem to be a problem with speed in changing from one to the other. Perhaps it's me that's a bit slow and this is the speed I go at! Don't know if the OE tick does anything else - but I just love to see that certificate on my mail. No one has come forth to tell me how to make AVG scan files that I send - it actually puts a note on saying "File has not been scanned".

They've still got one of those "cash wire" arrangements in a big store in Llandudno. The coffee beans probably WERE mixed with the sawdust.

That's the girl. Welsh Girl. Lovely sweet voice, married a businessman and dropped out of showbiz. I love "Les Miserables) - have got the CD, have seen the show twice. Don't know how anyone gets the hang of it if they haven't read the book. The "Old Pals" song in that reminds me of "Those Canaan Days" in Joseph and the Dreamcoat. MARGED | | Mary Hopkins...

Who are the Lions? A local team, I assume. I recently got into conversation with a visiting American lady you taught me I know nothing about baseball.
