    Am very happy to have found this new thread - thanks a mill to SB for keeping me informed! :A

    I never posted much but have been rooting for you all the way Mike. I haven't heard anything since just before the programme was being made so I have a lot of catching up to do. Is your house all nice now? And what's the latest on pursuing the rogue builder?

    Can't wait to see the programme!:j
    Trying to spend less time on MSE so I can get more done ... it's not going great so far! :)

    Hi Nuala

    Good to see you again.

    The house is very nice now. More importantly, they did the nasty stuff as well as the pretty stuff, so it should last another 300 years or so.

    I haven't been able to engage in any legal matters until the programme is broadcast, but I Have A Number Of Options that I shall begin exploring. Starting tomorrow night actually!

    Enjoy the show... and try the popcorn.

    Am thrilled for you Mike! :j
    I have a reminder set for the programme (have been checking it regularly and was afraid I'd missed it), popcorn and giant mug of tea on standby! :D
    Good luck with those Options - will be cheering you on from the sidelines! :)

    Oh and could you remind me which of you I will be seeing on the telly apart from the lovely "Lisa"?:D Am really looking forward to it!

    I would love to have made it but had shingles at the time so would have been worse than useless.

    I will be doing savoury popcorn as it's quite low in calories. With a side order of Swaledale and Stilton cheeses, just to get them out of the way you understand [IMG]http://smileys.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/cat/12/12_12_7.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://smileys.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/cat/12/12_12_7.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://smileys.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/cat/12/12_12_7.gif[/IMG]:)

    Can't wait to see your Options Mike ;)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • Great to get an update. :beer: Have been thinking of you & the boys. Mince pies ok with you all if I can make it? Maybe a wee glass of gin or vodka too? Think there might be a bottle of shloer left over too.

    Thanks a mill and that's so nice of you to say that! :T Am really looking forward to putting faces to all of you! Although I'm guessing it won't be "Pass me the shovel please MatyMoo" or "could you put the kettle on Pyschopathbabble?" ... would make for very funny viewing though! :rotfl:

    Oh that would be soooo good!
    I'm off on my travels now but will be with you all in spirit and if I'm not watching there will have to be a seriously good reason. :D

    Mike, - good luck with your 'options' - though considering all you've accomplished to date, I fully expect you not to need it and to be sending you congratulations at some point.

    Oh, and mind if I try a handful of that popcorn before I go? Can't resist it. :D Save me a virtual seat on the (somewhat overcrowded) sofa.:)

    It might be... very formal, these mobsters.
