Very funny that Maggie. Reminds ME of the time I lifted a rabbit casserole (in a Pyrex dish) out of the oven, and the handle and top two inches of the dish stayed in my hands, whilst the bottom complete with dinner fell on the floor. How it missed my feet, I do not know. Still think about it and it was about 25 years ago.

Maybe children are more open to things like this because they haven't learned the cynicism that comes with growing up. First it's the loss of belief in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny (here in the States anyway), the next thing you know, you find it difficult to believe in anything you can't touch or see for yourself. I wouldn't mind growing back a little of that childlike belief in things myself.

Watch out on 20th January next year - we will write it as 20.01.2001 I find that sort of thing interesting, especially since I remember the teacher at school saying "Remember when you write this date, because it will never be written like this again. 12.3.45" Of course, we didn't put noughts in in those days (well, we had to make it work, didn't we).

Thank you very much Marion. That was like having a mate next door to ask. You were so quick. What I did was, having been taken over by the BT registration CD I decided to re-format my hard drive, start afresh so to speak. Well I backed up everything relevant to floppies including the TranCens database and forgot about BDE. There was so much rubbish (mostly my grandaughter's on it) that it was easy to miss something) Anyway with my 15" modem and a near empty 'my documents' I'm highly satisfied.

Hi Maggie, Sorry to hear I am not the only one with mail problems all though mine seem sorted now, I hear there is a major problem with Aus cables or some such causing a lot of Aus mail to bounce :-( Apparently caused by all the dreadful flooding.

Hi Marion - Thanks for the link. I didn't know you could check the archives. It's not just Freeserve. I can't get on Yahoo but have just managed to pick up my mail vai Hotmail, not that there is a lot of it anyway. The list has been very quiet recently.

I have just got back to eating fish. I hate the bones so I would never eat it out. At least at home I can check it very carefully ........ and not talk! Usually I am so busy talking I tend to swallow too fast....not that I talk much you understand....lol Maggie

That reminds me of a place I went to in Brussels - in one of the arcades. The meat was hanging in the front of the shop but it was popular with the locals. Food was great and I had a crepe with Grand Marnier. Well, perhaps I should say Grand Marnier with a crepe!!!!! When we got back we decided to try it with friends. We didn't really get the hang of the alchohol and burning it but they were still good. Nearly flambeed the kitchen a couple of times though....lives on in my friends memories...lol Was told by my friend's husband that we had put too much Grand Marnier on them - but he wasn't complaining!! Quite liked a glass of burnt crepe!!!! Maggie

YUK Marged - laughing fit to bust here. Well your mail might be virus free but should we put you through the scanner.... Maggie

Dear Marged, I just resubbed to the list and yours was the first message that I received...thanks for sharing it...it was certainly interesting ! glad to hear you didn't get sick - how dreadful that would have been ! Regards, Glenda Email address: wrwgrw@earthlink.net Indiana, USA

Hi Marged - you will never guess. I have just got onto Yahoo and checked my mail...just logged off and none of your mail is there yet. I even sent one a mail to myself earlier and that still isn't there!! Sent one from there to here and came straight onto aol and that is here. Crazy isn't it. I wonder if the Pyrex was different in those days. I had a set as a wedding present and that used to go bang at the slightest opportunity. Maggie

Hi Angela, Pub lunch today , so I won't be doing much this afternoon ! Won't be curry again though ......

I have given in and joined aol - least it is free 24hours a day. I don't know how good it will be but I am giving it a try for a while. I still can't get onto Yahoo but I have at last managed to pick up my mail through Hotmail. I didn't manage to get a sniff of my mail until gone 3pm today - its not on. I stopped using Outlook because I can download it but unless I use the ISP mail address they stop me sending - very frustrating when I have some good replies to letters. I thought the idea of Yahoo and Hotmail was to free us from ISP and give us a mail address for life - they didn't say that it would only be possible if the ISP allows! Sorry to confuse you all but this should be OK - I have a couple of friends on aol who swear by it - and at it occasionally - but there. Maggie who was / is Maggie_Bicker at either Hotmail or Yahoo

Hi Marion, Well I have just given in and joined aol - let's see if this sorts it out, at least as far as Yahoo and Hotmail are concerned. That was ridiculous. If I use Yahoo through Outlook - which you can do - my ISP somehow stops the replies getting out. Interestingly your mail got to aol some time before my Yahoo Messenger informed my that your reply was in Yahoo so perhaps this will be better. Still can't get into Yahoo to check it - keeps giving page can't be displayed. Stupid thing. Maggie

Dear All, Two Mondays in a row?:-)) :-)) Regards, Mikey. DISCRIMINATION As we know, we see discrimination in some form or another almost everyday and often times it leaves a sour taste in our mouths. The following story shows us the side of diversity that we are all working for. It is a pleasant twist to see that there are companies and individuals who face discrimination head on, if only one small step at a time. On a British Airways flight from Johannesburg, a middle-aged, well-off white South African Lady has found herself sitting next to a black man. She called the cabin crew attendant over to complain about her seating. "What seems to be the problem Madam?" asked the attendant. "Can't you see?" she said " You've sat me next to a Kaffir. I can't possibly sit next to this disgusting human. Find me another seat!" "Please calm down Madam." the stewardess replied. "The flight is very full today, but I'll tell you what I'll do-I'll go and check to see if we have any seats available in club or first class." The woman cocks a snooty look at the outraged black man beside her (not to mention many of the surrounding passengers). A few minutes later the stewardess returns with the good news, which she delivers to the lady, who cannot help but look at the people around her with a smug and self-satisfied grin: "Madam, unfortunately, as I suspected, economy is full. I've spoken to the cabin services director, and club is also full. However, we do have one seat in first class." Before the lady has a chance to answer, the stewardess continues... "It is most extraordinary to make this kind of upgrade, however, and I have had to get special permission from the captain. But, given the circumstances, the captain felt that it was outrageous that someone be forced to sit next to such an obnoxious person." With which, she turned to the black man sitting next to the woman, and said: "So if you'd like to get your things, sir, I have your seat ready for you..." At which point, apparently the surrounding passengers stood and gave a standing ovation while the black guy walks up to the front of the plane. ..... people will forget what you said ... .... people will forget what you did ... .... but people will never forget how you made them feel ... HILLARY KFC A Kentucky Fried Chicken location in New York City has a special on what they are calling the "Bucket of Hillary" - two small breasts, two large thighs and a bunch of left wings.

I really loved this poem Mikey. Shame the Author is unknown. I was going to ask if you were being modest again, but had second thoughts when American states are quoted as opposed to English Counties. Best wishes Angela Cyprus

Thanks for that advice Dave, I will look into the price here for a second hard drive. I only have an Acer power 6500 Pentium II, and didn't really have a choice when I bought it, as it was a customer who provided it in payment for a container of ceramics. In Cyprus we still have the old barter system :) Coincidentally, we had curry today. On Mondays I always use the chicken left overs to make a curry pie. Best wishes Angela Cyprus
