    Sorry, it was just food! nowt in and no wine either - sorted now though. spent £35 though and it was supposed to be a cheap shop but a couple of books sneaked in when I wasn't looking... I thought some girly laughs might be just the job at the minute.

    Books have a nasty habit of sneaking in to my trolley as well. How do they do that:confused: :rotfl:

    I keep watching Father Ted re runs..i am currently into Ladies of Letters.It is an excellent series on ITV3 you can catch episodes on their i player although not as good quality as the BBC i player. I laugh real belly laughs at it and this weeks episode had the use of a famous Father Ted word, when one of the gentile ladies ( Maureen Lipman's character) suffers from a bout of Tourette's syndrome after being hit by a digger:rotfl: :rotfl: You have to watch it to see what i mean.
    Of course Blackadder is always better that News at Ten:cool:
