  1. Yes it has "finished", but we were left hanging at the end, so I think there will be another "series".
  2. I too live in West Sussex and I grew up in Surrey. I wonder if we were or are near each other. Welcome to the BCF, I hope you enjoy it.

  3. That little Westie is called Daisy and I met her for the first time when I visited my friend in Canada in June 2007. She is totally adorable. If I have a dog, it would be a Westie I think. I am well thank you and I hope you are too.

  4. Hi Nici, hope you are well. I agree with Tiger about Hampton Court. As a child I went there every Sunday with my Gran and I made a beeline for the Maze. Its a beautiful palace in wonderful grounds. Try and go in the Spring when the daffodils are out, their display in the grounds is just awesome believe me.

  5. The memory of ~The Merchant of Venice always stayed with me from school. I found it very exciting and have loved it since. When I was doing the Open University, I saw a production of Twelfth Night and also Midsummer Night's Dream and enjoyed both. Also as a school girl, I was taken to see Henry V and Hamlet. All this has left me with a liking for Shakespeare's work and would take any opportunity to see a live portrayal.
  6. I am fine thank you Tiger, just took a bit of a breather. I have been popping in now and then, but not participating. I was sorry to learn about your grandfather's death sweetie, must have been hard for you at Christmas, especially as you lost your cousin as well. Just remember they are locked away inside you now forever and your cousin was happy doing what she enjoyed. I hope 2009 brings happier times for you and your family

  7. Pardon my ignorance, but where is Lodz??

  8. That's nice, glad you had a good day .

  9. Yes this is a great time of the year its true, but spare a thought for the lady/man in the kitchen doing all the cooking won't you lol:mrgreen:
  10. Hi Elizabeth, how are you. My first name is Elizabeth. Its a grand name!

  11. Loved your joke about the lady in the jeweller's. Nearly fell off my chair:lol::lol::lol:

  12. I am about half way through The Stand now, started Chapter 49 this morning. I am enjoying the read, its very well written and descriptive. But why am I getting the feeling that the end is going to disappoint me? Strange that.
  13. Thanks for that Vince, I will visit Morrisons and get some.
  14. Anyone tried pollock? Its fish similar in texture to cod and I had it in an Italian restaurant earlier this year, it was delicious. I can't find it anywhere to buy it though!!!
  15. I like mussels and scallops, but they don't like me:blush: I have never tried snails, oysters and frogs legs. I could possibly be persuaded to try frog's legs, but not the other 2 no not never, not no how:eek2: During WW2 we had rabbit and I remember eating rabbit pie, but for some reason I just don't fancy it now:roll:
  16. Talk to her Nici, she can here you, she is right there with you xxx

  17. Hi Nici, hope you are doing ok. Have you enjoyed your break this week?

  18. Hi Charm, great to see you. Hope you aren't in too much pain.:friends0:

  19. I don't see why not. Once I ha ve established no one else wants it over here, I will let you have it, but will check what the postage is. If I do send it maybe you can circulate it to any Ozzies who would like to read it. I don't really want it back either.

  20. I have just finished Small Island by Andrea Levy which I enjoyed immensely. Its difficult for me to find words to describe how this book made me feel, it was so very good in every way I can think of. The writing, the humour, the characters and the social history. I liked the ending as well. She dealt with what was (and still is I suppose) an inflammatory subject in a very even handed and non-condemnatory way which earns my greatest respect. I would recommend this book to anyone and give it 10/10. I am now looking forward to discussing it at my book group on 11th November.
  21. Ah yes ii, fancy me forgetting that one too!! Does me good to know that young ones still like love and romance. How about the music as well? Do you know the name of the singer? I do, I am seeing if you do;)
  22. I agree with everything you say LW, couldn't have put it better. I was pretty disappointed with it actually.
  23. Hope all goes well for you Charm, Bev just told me about your problem. Lots of love:friends0::friends0:
