FIL is happy if the label comes under the 'booze' category or has something to do with Elvis. Elvis Booze would be perfect

well, that was amazing....snow, then sleet, then the biggest snow I've ever seen, which settled for a very short time, but got to over an inch thick, so ieverything outside was white and now its clear and the snow has gone. If I'd been working hard I'd never have known

For your westie, I'd dig a big muddy pond outside if recent photo's are anything to go by...

Yes, and who's going to stand at the door to wipe his muddy paws? :rotfl:

I was brought up in SE London, and went to UCL (central London).

Parents home is near Brussels and went to Uni in Antwerp ('86-'88). There I drank and partied a lot and dropped out of Uni. Then did some kind of higher eduction thingy outside Uni, which is totally irrelevant to what I do now.

Which also raises an interesting point. How many of us had ambitions to do some job or another when we were at school and then ended up doing something totally different?

From what I know about you lir, I bet that deep down you still do;). I wanted to be an astronaut. Sadly I found out pretty quickly that with the total lack of science ability and no American passport I'd have to let that one go.

i am very interested in the frosties necklace, although i would probably eat it before i could give it to her. especially if there was any whole milk around. frosties and full fat milk. mmm.

she is 66. her hobbies appear to me to be nagging my dad, telling my dad off, belittling my dad, complaining about my dad to anyone who will listen, and annoying me when i'm trying to watch sport by offering up her own commentary.

what i really want to get them is a proper sized TV to go in their front room, rather than the silly little thing that is in there now, but my budget is about £50 tops.

I got my mum a proper pair of sheepskin style mittens. Remember them? Keep your hands ridiculously warm in the cold.
Mum always seems to have cold hands.
Got em from the german market in Brum.
