    I managed to raise an eyebrow :p

    Main forum a bit flat today. Think I'll go and cook a roast chicken instead lol. :)

    Flat like a cat? Don't set me off again. :D:D:D I'm sitting on my hands trying not to wind up those who thought any mention of a dead, nay, flat and dead, cat is tasteless and not even remotely funny. :o

    Meantime, you need to go and express your total outrage on the 'Funke Monkey' thread. :)

    LOL! I'll go and have a look for that. Prepped most of dinner ready to go so just grabbing a quick pot of tea. A spot of outrage sounds just the ticket :D

    I'll take that as a cue to go back to my marathon of The Wire (aka the best television show ever created by anyone ever)

    I may possibly (probably) lead a relatively sheltered life, but I can honestly say I have never ever met anybody who recognised, (let alone participated in), any of the terms and practices BB has forced me to look up on Urban Dictionary. :eek:

    I've spent the majority of my life working in male dominated environments so I've been far from sheltered, but some days it feels like it!

    I've recognised some references over the years of being in here, but a participant?? :eek::eek:

    Count me out! If that makes me old and boring then so be it :D

    Flights. I don't know if you can pick up BBC i player or BBC programmes in general but I am watching a fabulous slightly tongue in cheek documentary about tea right now.

    Victoria Woods - Nice Cup of Tea. America get a look in as does Dr Who and Morrisey!!! :eek:

    There is a British woman who has set up a tea shop on the Lower East Side and she also sells tea paraphernalia. Well I say sells. If any of her prospective customers indicates they intend to make their tea in a microwave she says she refuses to sell them a teapot. LOL

    That's the British - ritual and tradition before profit LOL

    I am really enjoying the programme - well its Victoria who wouldn't?

    But it is one of those delightful, what I call, light documentary programmes that I flatter myself to think of as quintessentially British as is the tea they are talking about. Its warm funny (smile funny not LOL) with lots of information delivered in a light hearted way and plenty of nostalgic references with wallpaper music choices that are inspired and bonkers.

    Plus and interview with a 98 year old Welsh Salvation army officer who says with a twinkle in her eyes how much she liked the sailors (WWII).

    You've sold me! :D

    Mr Soreen will be away for 4 nights this week (Tuesday to Saturday night :cry:) so I'll watch that one of the days. I'll beg a link on Tuesday. Sounds just up my street, thanks :D

    Off on a malt loaf sales trip is he? That'll go down well with a nice cuppa.

    Here's the link but I am not sure it is any good from the States.

    Doesn't seem right not to say anything for so long, so I'll just report the garage over the road is now completely demolished, all the hedges bar one are neat as Lauren's bob, and I got nearly 5lb of blackberries out of the garden today.

    So I'm not half as grumpy as I was earlier in the weekend about some things in the forum. Bewildered, just not grumpy :D

    There's a south wind risin' and the moon shines on my window sill
    I've got a feeling I might walk on over the hill
    I'm bent but not broken, all I need is some rest
    And a bottle of your very best
    Blackberry wine
    There's a new moon risin' and the wind sings its old song
    Pass it on over it's a sin to be sober too long
    I'm bent but not broken, all I need is my share
    Of a bottle of that very rare
    Blackberry wine

    What things?

    I haven't done any more than read the headline yet. However as far as I am concerned the sexiest part of a man is the brain.

    You really are a Gordon Lightfoot fan. I've had to dig my stuff out from beneath a very large pile of all sorts to remind myself that I quite like him :D

    as to 'what things', let's not turn over the stones again ... hopefully it'll be a gentle run to the final now, without anyone getting banned :D

    I should have said mind really. But my point is men will prod, press and fiddle with this and that as if they think women come with an ignition button and the challenge is simply to find it.

    I do have an ignition button but you can examine every inch of my body and you will never find it. Talk to me FFS.

    Got all his stuff, cassettes first then CD. Missed him by a few days when I was in San Diego 12 years ago, now I guess I will never see him live. First two albums I bought were Sundown and Brian Protheroe's Pinball back in 1974 after discovering Radio Caroline.

    You just seemed uncharacteristically down, the tap-tap effect I guess of all the mindless bile clogging up the forum. In the words of Eric Idle: F*** 'em.

    What are you bewildered about Dave. Can you say? It doesn't sound much like you, you usually have it pretty sussed together with the sub text.
