  • Aww poor DS, they do have wonderful imaginations.
    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    I remember thinking that there was an alien in my toy cupboard when I was little, it was just an electroic game that had fallen and one of the buttons were pressed so that is made the games noises:rolleyes:

    I also thought that the shark Jaws would bite my bum on the toilet so used to "go" really quickly................TMI??:rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    They had electronic games when you were young Lou? you must be way younger than me!

    I am completely shattered and need a break, starting to get to the stage I can't be bothered cooking and want takeaways - purely through laziness. I've resisted so far but think I'll have a quiet weekend this week and try to recharge my batteries. Got Somerfield leaflet through and they are selling lots of fruit and veg cheap so might go there for a change.

    Thanks Beanie, the next couple of weeks - thank goodness. I haven't felt this much in need of a break in ages.

    Hope you are feeling a bit better yourself. I should stop moaning really, sorry.:o

    Ah I see, they have those at Beamish in the old school house there. I must go back there soon, I do love it.
