Sure - when you get married you don't stop looking, you just buy reflective sunglasses, so only you know your looking.

Well done Sharon - your question now...

Yes TLS - obviously I did not know Dr Crane - but your thoughts ring true with me as regards how doctors used to be - when I was young I had chronic asthma and our local Doctor, Dr Doyle would be out to see me at any time day or night - a real professional and a charachter. Nowadays you go to the local medical centre and you never see the same doctor twice, and out of hours coverage is farmed out to some agency of locums who are apparently inept. Doctors used to be real people who local people really knew and respected but now i think these larger surgeries have little personality and I think when people are unwell it means a lot for them to know they are going to see a person they know, rather than a strange face.

For anyone not aware - the Aussie tennis final is turning into an epic contest and they have just gone into a 5th set - its a final to match the Wimbledon final of last year, Great stuff - tune in.

OK - anyone for a new question?? Who can remember: 1971 FA Cup Final, Liverpool lost 2:1 to Arsenal - who scored for Liverpool and who was the goalkeeper beaten at his near post.

Norwich have "borrowed" Celtic striker Chris Killen for the rest of the season - hope he scores a few for you, he did not get a proper chance at Celtic. Could Villa go top today - are Villa fans starting to dream of the title rather than a ch league place? who knows...if Celtic fans know Martin O'Neill, he'll be in it to win it. I'm predicting a final four as follows: 1) Man U 2) Villa 3) Chelsea 4) liverpool....

Are we talking "pot" or "pots" here GT?

But when a young couple moved in next door and we saw inside our neighbours house we understood - and once the various wildlife had been extracted nextdoor then we had no further mice - the house has been rented out now for 2 years and there has not been a single mouse. So sometimes a neighbouring house can be where they are getting in especially if its a terrace, but its best to try to locate where they are getting in if you want to stop the problem permanently.

well CW1 - I feel despite popular opinion, there are more singles than couples in ED. So go out and do your best on Valentines night - most couples will be in the restaurants - so go for the pubs and even single people will be in romantic mood - what could be more romantic than meeting your girl/guy for the first time on Valentines night.

Yes ED - my wife included. (I hope she is safe from that Miles chap)

We have gone 1 1/4 hours without a single post on the lounge...does this happen often ...are we posted out, bored, or are we all watching Lilly Allen on J Ross..

I await Surma delivery of their fantastic Chicken Razella, Mrs M is out with other Mums so when Surma man arrives with 2 bots of Cobra - my glass will be half full, then empty then full, then empty ...

Good spot Damzel - You got me - I have a number of identities: Mick Mac: When I'm feeling contrary Louisa: when I want a real girly rant/fight with someone Declan: when I want be a sporting statto Dulwich Mum: when I want to use the word "sweetie" lots - but don't feel as a man I can get away with it Miles: when I'm feeling like rolling back the years Sean - when I'm the voice of reason BigBadWolf - when I want to tell it as it is HoonaloocieB - only when I have something articulate and funny to say TonyLondonSuberbs - when I'm feeling like an all round good guy I jump between these regularly - I'm amazed the Administrator has not banned this practice.

I have lived in 2 houses in ED - the first one had heaps of mice - the new one has none (this year anyway), but yes I think it is quite usual - you need to find where they get in and block it. In the first house btw a family lived next door and when they moved - no more mice - the new people who moved in said the next door house, which they bought at a huge discount, was initially horribly dirty and probably attracted the mice.

I'm going to Taandoori Nights - very romantic in there.

Saw him once at the Fleadh in Finsbury Park in early 1990s, got a wonderful ovation from his many fans that day.

Giggirl - I daren't repond with my true feelings on that one really. Its still too early in the season to set myself up for humble pie in May.

Ah - PGC - I was only jesting about the red hair - I have a 3 year old daughter who has the brightest orange hair, on a sunny day you can see her for miles - and its very very nice. Smoking - I have always had rather bad asthma - so thats the reason for that one. But Rangers - that I cannot overcome...no seriously I like a bit of banter and have a couple of rangers fans as friends - (although we don't speak often, just by text after old firm games).

Apparently after "Last Tango in Paris", in 1973, Marlon Brando was offered a mega deal to advertise: "KerryGold Butter - for all your buttery needs". But being a real man, with principles, he turned it down. Celebrities are not what they used to be.

sorry mike but the smoking ban is the best decision this govt has made. It makes a real positive difference to the pub experience for me. It has also helped some friends to give up smoking. The real reason the pubs are suffering is that people are happy to drink at home but pub should pick up in summer when people make the effort to get out in the better weather.

Ha - we have been round the whole team once and the players start to take their second penalties - Celtic win 12-11 (I think - lost count)

10-10 ON PENALTIES - EVEN THE GOALKEEPERS HAVE SCORED....WE AWAIT A RESULT

Celtic V Dundee United (I know you don't care but I will post anyway) - Its Penalities at Hampden - and if we win its and old firm league cup final. Fingers crossed.

That's great Brum - can we have another one? - same time tomorrow night? You can start a thread called "Poets Corner" and others can have a go too, I ilke a bit of poetry.
