  7. Hi WG, call me Ann by all means. Thanks for your greeting and I hope you are doing ok. I am still recovering from the first cold I have had in about 3 years. It just wont leave me. I am over the worst, but still have to keep blowing my nose and clearing my throat.:motz:

  8. I didnt realise it was today you started that course, sorry I didnt ask about it. Do you have far to travel?

  9. Included in my dinner guest list would be Barbra Streisand Sean Connery Bill Clinton Stephen Redgrave Mark Foster Judy Dench Sarah Ferguson Fiona Bruce Kelly Holmes That'll do for now:D
  10. Watched it and loved it!!
  11. I think Don Warrington should have gone. He was so wooden in his movements and unsmiling. Out of the two I preferred Phil Daniels, at least he was funny
  12. It was a pretty good show for the first one wasn't it? And isn't Mark Foster a hunk!!!! whoooooeeee. I enjoyed all their performances and thought they were all pretty good. I wonder who will get knocked out? My guess either John Sergeant or Gary Rhodes.
  13. I am pretty sure it was "maid", in those days a maid was a virgin, so that is what he was saying - she wasn't a virgin.
  14. I think you have put that very well WG and I fully support your sentiments and thoughts on the subject. I am not able to stand up and just say that I don't believe in God, I have never been able to do that. I can't help thinking when I look at the beautiful things in the world "how did this all come about?" On the other hand, with all the wicked things and tragedies that happen that makes me wonder in another way. What are we suppose to deduce from all of that? The point of this thread is would I read religious-themed books - no I wouldn't, not if that was what it was all about and as you say WG preaching at me, that would turn me off immediately. Something that always does strike me with amazement is how active believers deal with their grief when they lose someone in really tragic or horrific ways. They seem to be able to forgive the perpetrator(s). I couldn't, I would always want revenge, stark revenge, especially if it involved the people I love. Perhaps that makes me a not very nice person, I dont know.
  15. Thanks Diane and WG. I decided I needed to read something light and "fluffy" and took your advice WG by picking up a Penny Vincenzi book. I have enjoyed many of hers in the past. Well it has worked and I am well into "Forbidden Places". Nothing too taxing but quite fun to read, especially as it is set in a period I have always found fascinating - the late 30's just before the war - a whole different world to now.
  16. "I'm going to make her tell us today" Forbidden Places - Penny Vincenzi
  17. That spider was in my bath just as I was going to turn on the shower and I ran out screaming. OH just reached for the camera. Have you noticed the hairs on its legs??Eough!!!!

  18. My edition is October, I think I must have thrown September out Why do these mags have to be so far in advance!!! I have a subscription you see and it arrives by post.
  19. I have definitely hit a reader's block!!! I have so many books to read I dont know which to choose.
  20. Thanks for inviting me to be your friend which I humbly accept:friends3:

  21. Thanks for that Jo, will bear it in mind.
  22. I loved the way you put that Janet:lol: I am still watching and wondering how its all going to end up next week
  23. The 27th? at Bluewater. Yes I will be with my daughter H&D. I have been taking lemon and honey, paracetamol and Covonia cough syrup. It is working - slowly. I felt better after I got up and had a shower and washed my hair today and OH cooked my dinner.

  24. Got a rotten cold at the moment, so am feeling a bit sorry for myself. Glad to see you are getting on top of your problems.

  25. Still in reading nowhere land. Might try The Blind Assassin again, but cant think straight at the moment with this ruddy cold I have.
