It's going to b*gger up the 'what are you listening to now' thread completely 

Won't be the same clicking a link; dunno why, but it just won't.

Zackly!   And if it comes to fruition.......I'm orf   

Been nice knowing you all 

Sprout I am going to carry on as normal and see how it goes ...so are you

As I said earlier on to someone Erin......of course I will, and until such things arise as where I can't, well........

The upgrade gives you access to stuff I don't use or I can do without.Not being able to upload vid when BB is on will be a pain but hey hoo.

Good..!  We can't be doing with losing either of you. 

It's the PM's that I think will hit the most at my end. There's someone on my PM's that although doesn't rely on PM's would find it extremely more harder to 'speak' with peeps

And I'm outta the 'listening' fred too given that we won't be able to post You Tube vids 

testing 

    Shhhush  still working  ... for now 

Freddie BBC 10.35 if anyone is interested 

Well done Mrs H   I'll be watching the Freddie docu too.

I thought it was Thursday - can't see it on my beeb tonight.

Oooooooooh yes I can  - I will record. The Exposure programme on ITV is about the housing estate about 5 miles from me - I used to work in a school on the estate - I think it'll be a corker 

Edited to say - I'm a bit confused ...........not sure when Exposure is on.

I'm crap at sorting out my telly watching - will be watching Freddie 

PMSL! You's all! 

Fred    *Sets recorder*

Dammit I forgot that was on.  I'll have a look to see if it's repeated, I said, I'll have a look to see if it's repeated.  If not I'll try to watch on iplayer.

(Sorry about the crap repeated joke, it was for my own amusement, as if I am having a conversation with someone and they use the word repeated I try to get them to say the same sentence over and over while I attempt to keep a straight face.  Record to date:  Mother a total of 6 times, and she still falls for it)

I am sure there was a repeat next to the programme description - not sure when though - hope you find it 

not very good reviews in the papers today - seems still not enough revealed about his private life - TBH not sure why they are saying this as he quite clearly stated he was almost a recluse and didnt like talking about himself 

I can't quite believe it ....................it's the 17th October and I bought several Christmas presents today 

I'm usually the one who shops at 'the last chance saloon'

I have eight great nieces/nephews and one of Mr Woos sisters has two little girls. I have an awful lot of people to buy for and not only does it become very difficult trying to find something novel it's very expensive too.

I bought six of the 'greats' and the other little nieces books today from the Works  - 8 gifts - lovely books and only £30.

I just have to remember where I hide them and not be tempted into thinking ...............ooooh I'll buy this to go with that etc.

I'm dead chuffed with myself.

We've had them near us as well.  Very annoying because every time one goes off it sets the dogs off in a barking frenzy.

I've just been discussing 'hiding' the presents I've already bought.  We've made the attic much more accessible this year (put a proper loft ladder in, so no more balancing on the top of a step ladder).  So I'm putting them up there, but making a list of who I have bought for, and what I have bought so I don't forget. 

Last year I hid my grand sons pressie and Mr Woon moved it (we were decorating) - it was horrible - I didn't find it for weeks when I was looking for something else. It almost spoilt my whole Christmas.

I'll be more careful this year 

I'm doing an online shop at Sainsbury's     If you've done this before you'll no doubt have seen how they 'suggest' other items - like when you click on a bag of salad it'll say 'try with Sainsbury Balsamic Vinegar', or click on a red pepper and it says 'try with Sainsbury Fajita mix'       I'm struggling to get the connection here.... click on a 16 pack of Andrex Toilet Roll and it says 'try with KP Honey Roast Peanuts' 

Kaffers ... I once had a voucher for Ocado which was due to run out. I didn't need any shopping (it was Christmas time and I'd just emptied the shelves at Tesco), so I thought I'd spend the voucher on utility room stuff; washing powder, washing up liquid, loo rolls etc etc

So, there was £50 worth of that sort of stuff delivered. The delivery bloke said that they had made one substitution.

In amongst all the cleaning stuff was ... an organic swede

   they must have been out of peanuts....

You have to wonder at some people's minds eh?

Uh huh

I have often wondered what it was that they couldn't deliver!

I've just been on to Sainsburys - only just realised two Rib Eye steaks and two Pork Chops were missing from last week. They've sent an e voucher. They were very good considering it was nearly a week ago 

The first time I ordered (a few years ago) I'd ordered a bowl of fresh fruit salad - it was substituted with two bunches of spring onions 

Hahahaha sooz - not the same, even with a bit of evap poured over them!!

I haven't had evaporated milk for years - but just had a vision of Sunday tea when I was a child - we always had tinned fruit salad and evaporated milk for pudding

We did too ...........after Sunday lunch.

peaches, Apricots, Pears, Mandarins or fruit cocktail - sometimes it was evap milk or if we were lucky Nestle tinned cream ........mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm can still taste it now.

and did you all used to fight over the cherry? We did

and then ... came dream topping. Remember when that arrived on the scene?

Yep ...............and something called Delightful advertised by Bob Monkhouse.

A girl at our school lived in a sweet shop. Someone was delivering free samples and didn't want to lug them round so asked if she could leave them in the shop. She never returned - there were crates of the stuff - the girl gave us all loads of the stuff. I don't think it ever took off though. And then there was 'Instant Whip'.

 Bus driver uppercuts passenger.

Reports that she cursed him out then spat on him ,he then punched her.

Hahahahaha I was going to post about fighting over the cherry.  

I remember the arrival of dream topping.  There was another one that came about the same time, it was solid cream in a tub that you kept in the freezer.  It's name escapes me now, but I was just talking about how my gran used to serve it to us on a Sunday afternoon on top of freshly made warm scones with strawberry jam.  *drools*

Might have had whip/whipped in the name somewhere.

Me and my brother used to do that! Funny thing is i can't stand them now and wouldn't eat one if someone paid me to!

There was 5 of us fighting over the cherry.    Being the youngest I rarely got it. Plus I always got jipped when it came to the advent calendar too.  One calendar between 5.  Guess who always went last so only ever got to open 4 doors 

that's weird  - being the youngest i ALWAYS got it.  In hindsight I was spoiled.    I used to like the seedless grape too. 

Our advent calender never had chocolates. I can't believe how excited we used to get over a picture of a Robin or a Christmas Cracker. I used to love it when it was my turn to open the window before going to bed, I hate the souless chocolate ones and a few years ago I tried to instil the same sort of excitement into my grand son and bought one without chocs.

He couldn't see the point at all 

We always had tinned fruit and evaporated milk on sundays it must have been the *in* thing at the time

Ours didn't have chocolates in them.  

Kids these days don't know how tough it was in the 1970's world of chocolateless advent calendars.
