    Nope, but holidays were made for watching dirty puppets on the goggle-box! :rotfl:

    Alas, I've only seen a fairly limited amount of P&R: I have the boxset of 'A Scare at Bedtime' and some of the first or second season of their talkshow (I've seen more on TV than I own, of course) but nothing after that. What I've seen is hysterical, though. I want to watch some more, but since I was the one who started the 'No More Buying DVDs...' thread, I don't think I can justify it for *looks at stack of DVDs in the corner* oh, the next two or three years! :rotfl: I'll take your word for it about their demise, though: that type of material can generally only have a limited lifespan. Look at Ali G.

    And the only Dustin I've seen was the Eurovision entry. :rotfl: Has he got his own show as well?

    He is a Dubliner who is a builder (if turkeys can build). He used to do 'The Den' which was the continuity for children's tv on RTE, and he always had a Christmas special. He also made a couple of CD's, ripping off Irish songs such as Rat Trap.

    When I lived in NY one of my Irish friends sent me a Dustin Cuddly toy which talks, it was a hit in the pub as all the Irish there knew the character. I still have him!

    You Tube him!

    God the places these threads go.........no one could imagine!

    BTD - getting ready to go back to work after 2 weeks off - ugh

    HWG - well done you re ebay, let us know how sales go and yes stay away from the cupboard is right!

    Bakery almost sorted, DH did a great job of washing the floor I have to say, which shows he could do it in the house as well. Most of his baking stuff out of the house and back in situ and there was a lot of it I gathered up from various locations.

    It looks like I am going to have to take on the job of cleaning the bakery each week. DH is right when he says that chaps are too expensive to clean and we need them to be baking all the time. DH wont/cant/doesn't have time to do it properly and thus I spent two days doing it over hols. Sadly I have now realised if I do it 1.5hrs a week, the same chaos will not insue!

    I wish I got paid for this 'other job' as financial director and domestic services manager I seem to have incurred.
