I rarely send attachments unless asked to do so [with one notable exception recently :-(( ] and never accept them unless I am expecting them. I found it safer. The messages which really drive me up the wall are the ones from companies which automatically dial into the web when you highlight them and then you have to leap about trying to find the mouse to stop the dialling before you get another item on the phone bill. I nearly slipped a disc [floppy one] the other day when my chair spun round the opposite way to me.

Another good one The Turkey Shot out of The Oven...!!! The turkey shot out of the oven, And rocketed into the air, It knocked every plate off the table, And partly demolished a chair. It ricocheted into a corner, And burst with a deafening boom, Then splattered all over the kitchen, Completely obscuring the room. It stuck to the walls and the windows, It totally coated the floor, There was turkey attached to the ceiling, Where there'd never been turkey before. It blanketed every appliance, It smeared every saucer and bowl, There wasn't a way I could stop it, That turkey was out of control. I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure, And thought with chagrin as I mopped, That I'd never again stuff a turkey, With popcorn that hadn't been popped.

Hi Marged, Thank you for telling me what butty is (a sandwich) ... :) That is cute. I must say I certainly do learn many things from the lists ! Is the Butty of the Welsh friend of the Southern Wales or the Northern Wales accent ? or is there even a difference ? It is like the Welsh say lettah and bettah :) or is that all over the UK ? :) I love accents ! Glenda

Hey, Ange, it's me that sets the smoke alarms off while making the bacon butties! I don't fry the bacon, I grill it. We have our roast dinner at 6pm and I usually manage that ok. It's just the grill. and I'm only PEEKING at the computer (in the next room).
