It goes with "Dean" - as Daizie presumably goes with "Bell"? SimonM

I see no one so far shares my theory that, after last week's performance, Spurs will score nowt against Villa? :))

Brilliant!! >:D

(1) Judi Trott - aye she were that! Wonder what became of her? (2) Kim Thomson - now in "Emmerdale"! And now pushing 50 so perhaps would huff and puff a bit running from Ros.... There's always Catherine Tate I suppose...:))

Let's not forget that the larger costcutter itself opened as a big-bully rival to the previously existing small costcutter below the Plough (once Mike's Square Deal Deli) and Val's. Hoist by your own petard or what?!

Hush you! (6)

I laugh with sneering contempt at these poseurs who appear to possess only the one chopping "board". In my own batterie de cuisine I naturally have a selection: one for raw meat, 1 for vegetables, 1 for spare, 1 to lend out to passing Royalty, and so on and so forth.. These are mostly of wood and not any of these new-fangled plastics. I blame TV "chefs"

"used to be"? I still refer to them as "dropped kerbs" and have no intention of changing! :))

For me, the ultimate Eastwood film, as both actor and director, is "The Outlaw Josey Wales". It is simply perfect.

I was a big Jennings fan too, and loved to rip off some of the books' argot when at my lowly grammar school. "Sir gave us per", I would chirp merrily, when challenged as to how I dared do some proscribed activity or other... When the Harry Potter books first came to prominence, my initial reaction on reading them was that Rowling owed far more to Anthony Buckeridge than Tolkien. Evidently some hack or other agreed with me, as Anthony Buckeridge, to my amazement still alive although well over 90, was interviewed. It turned out he received practically pennies for his wonderful output... Bunter appealed too, but for different reasons, involving tuck-boxes and postal orders from one's aunt. I would loved to have received postal orders from aunts... Blyton's books were fun in their way, but simply did not inspire the same yearnings. There were no caves or smugglers on Blackpool or Scarborough beaches, and I could never train our dog to go "arf arf!"

...And isn't this the same Wigan that beat Chelsea earlier this season, so.......B)

The News of the Screws is claiming Kevin Blackwell is going to be sacked from Sheffield United and replaced by Alan Shearer,,, Please God NO!!!

Not me either....but yikes, 9-1! And Wigan aren't even that bad a side!

Linda Barker still uses the local gym? She abandoned ED in July for the fleshpots of central London IIRC...

PGC was just getting her own back because she was irked by my euphonium jibe...:))

I thought she was only there for the first two weeks or so after she was born?

God I so went to the wrong primary schools!B)

I have a sick sense of humour I cannot even give away....:(

...with spicy red cabbage, chestnuts...mashed potatoes....a gravy with with redcurrant jelly and/or port and/or red wine etc etc...freezes very well too so you can make lots at once!

I think they have killed off too many people to be - ha ha - "credible" now.. And I seem to recall Jo was originally practically recruited off the street. She'd certainly been in dire peril so many times - especially at the end of a series - that it seems a tad harsh to now have had her shot by Ros... Anyway, bring back Keeley Hawes!

..already alluded to in my above message of course...:)) Spartacus

If indeed she actually made the "flippant comment"...

euphemism du jour? B)

W Look for the snows: yesteryear will be right beneath them :))

I am with you completely on Tony Curtis - a giant of the screen and now, having outlived so many contemporaries - something of a treasure. I treat his claims of not acting on screen with a ltitle scepticism though. I mean in "Some Like It Hot" he effectively plays three different roles... He's one of those guys who allegedly don't/cannot act in the same way Michael Caine is, which is to say he is pretty damned accomplished. And his catchphrase will live on forever....:)
