    Ahhh excellent idea there Tete! You are a clever chicken! :)

    Oh the rugby head...it is still on top of the wardrobe, I have tried dropping it but the darn thing is invincible! :rotfl:

    How's your manky toe?!

    Hmm, now I have a range of improbable events by which the rugby head could be destroyed running through my head a bit like the Bunny Suicides :D

    My toe is NOT manky, it looks fine, it's just coming off a bit at one edge! Went to the Drs this morning and she said either wait for it to drop off or have it taken off ... I asked about having it numbed beforehand and she said I wouldn't need it as it wouldn't be 'too painful'! She said it would definitely grow back but couldn't guarantee what it would look like :eek: It would have to be my big toe wouldn't it! So I'm leaving it for now, see what happens. What were the circumstances when yours fell off Birdie? (Sorry everyone for this!) Was it loose a while and gradually came off, did you have to pull it? (Sorry again - I'm making MYSELF queasy!)

    Dinah do you know anywhere nice to eat in Darlo?? (Sorry bit of a jump of subject there!)

    I'm with NIM, Maxine's is my favourite. Very smart, a set £12.95 on a weeknight for 3 courses, lots of seasonal food, 4 choices per course. £15.95 on a weekend, but always book ahead! If you want somewhere for a lunch Imperial Express do nice, fresh often Italian inspired and largely fishy food on the corner of Grange Road and Northumberland Street. They are open evenings too but I'd always go to Bannatynes (in the hotel on the end of Grange Road) for my money.

    NIM... I want to go to Bannatynes now :(

    The Imperial is (or used to be!) nice in Darlo :)

    Alright, so your toe isn't manky... I just like using the word! When it happened to me it was my index (?) toe so not too noticeable. It got pretty loose and I seem to remember having to pull it off as it was a bit flappy... sorry, not very nice is it?! I'm kind of fascinated by gross things though so didn't bother me too much, just a bit of a shock! It grew back fine, I'm not even sure which one it was now because they all look the same! :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Oh I'm worried how mine will look - I have quite big 'big' toenails too so it'll take ages to grow back fully and will look horrible til it does! :( Right over summer as well - I bet we have gorgeous weather for sandals too!

    Hmm, Imperial - do they have a website? Bannatynes looks good but bit swish perhaps, not sure. My penpal is up from London visiting family in Darlo so I said I'd meet her tomorrow for food but neither of us know the town ...
