    Those are very specific dates - any reason for them?
    Maternal Grandmother died in her late 80's, mother died at 61 - think I'm likely to take after one of them, if I don't get run over by a bus next week! (I am a bit fatalistic!)

    I take it you're off the floor then. Isn't balancing a book on top of your head supposed to improve your posture?
    Yes and I think it works, but so does improving your core muscles - good for lower back probs too of which I have a few.

    Bear Grylls will require a much larger grill than Squirrel BBQ, unless it's a REALLY FAT SQUIRREL with a bit of gigantism thrown in. Oh I can imagine the dream I am going to have tonight, like the Goodies Dougal episode but with a squirrel.

    Well done Erme with the fags, or lack of them!

    Worry about global warming if you like but there's a huge volcano under Yellowstone Park and when that goes (sometime in the next 10,000 yrs I think!) we'd better all have tins in for a 3 year period!

    I'm only eating people if I'm on a plane with them that's crashed AND I'm very hungry....very very hungry.

    My ex-boyfriend did used to refer to me as his secondary food source i.e. after he'd eaten everyone else. Having said that, if you knocked his glasses off he'd have to find you first :rotfl:
