so watching the thing about queens on bbc4 instead.

I wanted to see that but missed the start. Would you please let us know lir whether it is worth watching? DH and I have been watching the new Paxman series Empire, enjoyable but does make you cringe a little. BBC documentaries are, imo, the best in the world.

We are going to the Fat Duck tomorrow and I have a sore throat. I am not cancelling and will enjoy it but still would have rather been in top form rather than hacking over 3 Michelin star food.

Ooh proper posh alert! Oh is always asking to go there. Not too sure about snail porridge and stuff like that though. Or the price!

Well i am enjoying it. Its a little slow, but thank god we are spared reconstructions ...my pet hate in history thing are those silent reconstructions of sighing ina stine hall, or weeping or a cunning smile at the death bed of someone or flashing horses legs galloping.

In the Arbat (again), and starting to think I’m a bit of an alcoholic :eek:

With a web designer who is going to do us a website. We had a company website many moons ago, but have upped sticks and renamed (taking over several companies with us) since then.

I’ll let you know how I get on

I'm happy & reassured to see some familar - & friendly, thankyou - names :A
Trying to save the pennies & loose the pounds (lbs), I have, until tonight knocked the booze on he head pretty much. Until tonight, cos I've hit the scrumpy that's been in the cupboard since xmas - on a school night of all nights! - for some reason if I'm alone & drinking I veer towards this forum. That statement not at all suggesting anything about my fellow forumites
Nah, I always rock on up this time of year at least anyhow for my reminder of what to plant in the seedtrays when etc (I did put some cress on the windowsill a few days ago - sent home from school)
I'm glad to see the usual ladies here, except carol the originator (altho she was long gone last time I was here- did she ever come back?) & the bizarre but wonderful wageslave missing too.
& dave & michaels are still about.
& lots of new & friendly people to [STRIKE]stalk[/STRIKE] spk to too :beer:

If he says "We'll do you a 5 page website .... about us ... contact ... home ..." please just laugh in his face and tell him you weren't born yesterday and kids coming out of school were cookie cutting that cr4p 8 years ago.... that you expected better and need to know how his site will meet your marketing and sales needs, engage your target audience and fit with your marketing strategy,.

If he looks at you, blinks, then points at his powerpoint slides again saying "we can do something on the about us page..." just kick his butt out.

This is my area of specialism really ... IT project management and fitting a website into an online/marketing/web strategy to drive sales, engage audiences and outperform competitors.

So please... no 5 page 5h1tes (not a typo).
