Why Marion, 22 February is my son's birthday! Everyone said I should have called him George (sorry, I chose John) because that was George Washington's birthday (after the calendar change, that is!). In case I forget on that day, happy birthday in advance!

Hi, Mentioning radios [or should that be Radios] can anyone tell me where I can buy A RADIO? I want one which has push button controls whereby the station is selected and retained in memory for future use. Especially On Sunday when Adam Boulton comes on Radio 4 or when that revolting Wogan starts smarming his way into womens knickers [jealousy] and making me vomit. A quick press of a button works the trick. Or did when I had a companion. Not for you young uns because you don't know what memory is, especially if you have the same name as my grandson who promised to wash my car in July when I "lent/loaned" him £20.

Brian, They have something like the Co-op here in America. There is a fee for using these, such as $35.00 per year, but you still save money by shopping there. The one we belonged to was Sam's Club which is located in every state, I believe. Co-op was real a real big thing here some years ago. Glenda

Sorry to sound the bell of gloom but I haven't had a pint. No seriously, I haven't. That is a totally despondent mood I am in! If any of you know what I'm talking about. I certainly do because without it I wouldn't be able to talk to you and you wouldn't even know what I was talking about.............Would you? You see, I'm just the same sober, so what's the problem? BTW my spell chequer just picked up the word YOU. Didn't suggest anything, just threw it out. Like Al Gore, I suppose - unless you like him. Is he the President now?

My niece drove in for the holiday weekend from Kalamazoo, about two hours or so west of here. Had nearly a foot of snow on her car and it took her almost an hour, just to get to the city limits! We haven't had that here yet, but it's coming. January is usually our worst in this area.

You're dead right Trish. Strange to think someone could get banned just for (deliberately) splitting their pants on stage. Nowadays, they could come on without any and hardly anyone would bat an eyelash. Have you ever been up in the middle of the night and seen what's on Channel 4 and Channel 5? I suppose that's what you get when you don't have censorship. I thought everyone would be reasonable, but sadly they are not.

Does this make four separate butties or one? Sounds revolting but there's no accounting for folk. My gran used to have banana with sugar. On bread!! And my [first] wife loved "sugar butties".

Angela, Yum! Lunch today sounds wonderful, but if I eat another bite of anything, I'll burst! (All that turkey and stuffing, plus all the side dishes; you'd think we were never going to eat again!) As for my pot roast, I just toss a 3 pound size pot roast into the cooker (it's a 3 quart size cooker), put some canned tomato sauce (16 ounces or so) in a bowl, then spice it up with some garlic powder, cayenne pepper and chili powder, and then pour it all over the meat. Cover and let it go on low for about 10 hours. I put it in when I get up in the morning, and by the time I get home it's so moist and tender it's falling off the fork! Mind you, it's the cooker doing the work, not me! I'll let you know next time I make it and you're invited!

Dear Marged et al, I note mine are now taking almost 2hrs to appear on list!! So much for swapping to OneTel eh. The "Old Old story; You only get what you pay for"!! lol. Best, Mikey.

Hi Dave - well, you know what I mean - computer attached to the internet permanently.

I am glad I am going out tonight as you will probably all be watching the Football between Liverpool and Olympiacos. Pubs in Southport have got big screens set up for it.
