Que bueno! I've got the beans Maureen,but nothing else.

Actually, Liz I recall introducing myself as reading the label off a sauce bottle,How clean is your house, Wound Management,and How to do anything on a computer. I'm honoured to be in the company of such a literary giant! Now, where's that Argos Catalogue?

Hey Tiger, my dad's mum was an Ethel!

It's a ripping yarn, like Indiana Jones,a bit of fun,made Mr. Brown rich. Nothing wrong with that. :flowers:

Ham,cream cheese & garlic sandwiches gorgeous!

Ooh, my mate jan & I had such a crush on Jack Wilde at School!

They do say,never trust a thin chef!

My old man loves his books, I've read a couple and they are really funny.The T.V. series captures the essence of the books very well.

Dumbledore always had a plan before didn't he? I found this one harder to get into than the others though, I had to persevere with it.

http://www.inmamaskitchen.com great website,you'll never need a recipe book again.And you can add your own to it.

This is going to make me sound like a biog nutter but I am fussy honest! Bette Davis -[Title forgotten] Lauren Bacall- [as above] Fred Astaire -[ ditto] David Niven- The Moons a balloon & bring on the empty horses Graham Norton-So Me Billy Connolly-Billy & 2nd book[title forgotten] Monica Dickens-[ummm] Bob monkhouse-[ooh] Also true stories by "ordinary folk" Whose lives have been full of challenges shall we say,and how they got through.

But did she cook them Delia style or get instant like a real woman?

My family were all avid readers, dad encouraged us from an early age. My husband didn't read much at first but he's more into it now. I was definitely the main reader but my daughter's overtaken me now!

I hear Madonnas got some she doesn't use any more

Saint Delia? My husbands calendar girl?

They do Andy,my dh does most of the cooking,and strangely,I always lose weight when he go's away! What annoys me though is when we entertain, although they know clive cooked the meal our guests still thank me when they leave.

well done Bethany.

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will they force us to listen to some woman singing 'it's a long way to Tipperary' or can we have a Nickleback tribute band? :sing:

we are getting deep aren't we angel? actually my sister specialises in dementia care but most of her residents were mentally ill and now have dementia as well! One of them tried to put her head through a wall to drive the devil out so mags ended her shift in A&E concussed but insisting she was ok to go home.[nurses are such awful patients ]

Ooh thank you for that Andy,I always had this nagging doubt that I didn't 'get' Joyce because I wasn't 'clever enough'. But with age I've come to the conclusion that he was barking mad :silly:

Maureen imagine being in a nice cosy sleep,and someone young enough to be your grandaughter wakes you up to change you because you are saturated in wee. It has to be done but it doesn't mean you'll like or understand it so you lash out. Also, elderly people bring with them their emotional baggage of natural personality, possible childhood abuse, marital abuse, underlying mental illness, ex prisoners of war etc.

spanish swearing is very 'earthy' but some of it is also used as terms of affection! Last night I was called 'hija de puta' & 'que mala leche tiene' all while the speaker was trying to kill me. [good job I can still outrun bedridden 90 year olds] I was also called shoshi [another private part/term of affection] & pischa by someone who thought I was a boy! Well, we do have unisex uniforms

My favorite moment was when mother in law asked her hubby to get a kilo of conos at the market in spain fortunately michael knew that was not spanish for cauliflowers but a rude reference to ladies 'privates' but it would've been so funny!

I love some of the literal translations of foreign curses eg spanish for f off is 'go take a sh#t!'
