Moos

Honestly, I turn my back for a couple of days, and the Forum goes bananas. It's taken me all day and the ruthless use of the mark-as-read facility to catch up. And HonaloochieB - I'm watching you. You've been warned.

Only 4/10 snorky, you forgot to mention the Guardian.

I can see what you mean, Torben. Really, you'd think they'd know.

That happened to my grand-dad. I'm not sure what year he was born, but some time around the turn of the century. I understand that teachers would tie his left hand to his side. Anyway, he stammered all his life because of it, but had a lovely tenor singing voice, without stammer. Edited to say - sorry for going (and remaining) off topic - I have never chewed gum!

Ah, I see - of course. Thanks!

Annaj, does that mean that if a woman has a colour-blind father and a 'carrier' mother, she still only has a 75% chance of being colour-blind? I can see why it's a rarity among women if that's the case. To veer even further off topic, Mr. Moos and I are both left-handed having both inherited the gene from our respective paternal grandfathers, but the Moosling is right-handed. Granny thinks this is a good thing, but I was secretly hoping he'd be a lefty too.

Sure why not - they have Jesus in Holland too.

I think Ted is thinking of the nice fat lass he snogged in the Silver Buckle.

On which theme, I have never bought the Guardian.

Sheesh, guys, no need for this obviously rehearsed 'Hey kids, let's put on the show right here!' banter. Just start the thread, don't be ashamed. Square-Eyed Moos.

Hey there Mr. Pot. Love Ms Kettle.

Oh, yeah, I saw that episode Keef. Good, wasn't it! And there was one where someone had some drugs for sale, but I probably shouldn't say what kind. (only teasing, Lord Mac)

*scurries off*

I don't really get to watch CSI much unless I wrestle the remote from Mr. Moos' hand and even then I have to put up with his sarcastic comments, which spoil my uncritical enjoyment. So I tend to plump for Vegas and haven't seen NY more than once, I think. However, I have google-imaged Flack and Danny* and you have good points there - although they are a bit young especially the monobrow one. I am feeling a happy glow venting about the cringingly awful Horatio with his smug, pouty "I'm being Serious" face, and the leetle smudge of eyeliner to stop the cracks from showing. Gargh!! *one image was so funny that I have attached it - OMG!!

On the hottie boy stakes it's really a field of one. Stand up Warwick Brown. Although he was getting a little, shall we say full-figured by the time he was offed.

Which one is the gun lady? There's a dark-haired girl who's very, very pretty. The blonde one with the southern accent who was also in the West Wing is incredibly annoying. She was also incredibly annoying in the WW, so I have no hesitation blaming it on the actress rather than the character.

Ted is on fire today!

Jah - it's telly lite but it's good. Strawbs is right though, the Miami one is appalling but the Vegas one is very engaging. BBW - I'd pay AT LEAST a tenner for Jah.

Agree with you, BBW - Lawrence Fishburn was rather good. I don't catch it very often, but my bloodthirsty side is always satisfied by a quick hit on the repeat channels!

What Keef said, to the letter. (especially about people who should know better :-$) I like having Mrs Robinson around, but for me it's just a place to window-shop.

I reckon there's room for all of us! Alternatively, I could bunk up with RosieH in the Pod, which I also think is very cool. Or slink back to the Gardens with my tail between my legs - maybe I should just make my fantasy mind up.

That was you?? Sorry about your nose, btw.

It may be that the Song Game is crap and the Forum is rejecting it.
