Don't worry citEd, you'll soon wonder how you ever managed without an Amboine Nutmeg Grinder before.

Oxford Town - Bob Dylan

And she doesn't have a beard!

Totally not Ashes, but you are probably the only chaps on here I could tell. My daughter has just got back from a game - she took five wickets in three overs. How about that?

I'm glad - I hate the referral system. Surely the eye of man is more beautiful than Hawkeye? Not as accurate, maybe, but that's what makes games quirky rather than robotic.

You calling the Mods a bunch of pigs?

Been listening to Peter Green this morning, so it has to be Gibson - very mellow sound. Tomorrow is another day...

Centurion has a better ring to it.

The Chairpeople sounds a good name for a group, n'est ce pas?

This is about the Drawing Room, Brendan, not doodling.

Definitely you!

Come into the garden, Maud - Webster Booth

I think that was putting. Slip of the keyboard.

What breed or size? Is he good with cats? How much exercise does he require?

I'm with Anna. If you are new you cannot be expected to read the whole back catalogue, but that is where the search function comes in handy. After sometime on here, you will be old hands and experience the same groan when someone new starts something old.

Can't help thinking this would be better off in The Lounge. However, my friend smuggled poteen from Ireland to UK in a Madonna shaped holy water bottle. A chap I knew whose leg was blown off by a land mine had a prosthetic one fitted. He learned to fly and regularly smuggled bottles of brandy from France to UK in the fake leg.

Whiter Shade of Pale - Procul Harum

250 BC doesn't count.

Probably cos it would be a bit dangerous to shave while chewing gum which he seems to do non-stop.

What have you started Brendan? From Guardian OBO: 12.03pm Bumble is with the umpire Rudi Koertzen. In short, we will not be starting until 3 or 4pm at the very earliest. "We are concerned about the softness of the ground... water running off the covers onto the outfield... fairly muddy area... do you like my little beard... we will do everything to get the game on the road as soon as we can... I trim it every morning... Do you want to touch it... Gonna have a problem with the bowlers' run-ups... Only 50p a stroke... Touch it... Touch it!!!!",

It seems Strathclyde University also came to the same conclusion a year or two earlier. Slightly more upmarket report from The Times: Times Article on chickens

It's the third test, what do you expect?

Oh, have a loverly birthday, Moos.

Sean, I saw the test on a TV programme (Countryside, I think). Alas, the only web-based report I can find is from the Daily Mail (gasp!) organic v battery

Ethical considerations aside, Bristol University did a 'Pepsi Challenge' on organic/battery farmed chickens and the latter won on taste grounds.
