    mr and mrs 3dogs my nana wrote a wee saying when she was 42 and lost her husband (my papa) she was widowed with 10 children and my dad being the youngest. the wee saying went like this
    "what ever the weather
    some day, some where, it all seems fair
    as long as we're together"

    she was the kindest most loving giving caring and gentle woman i will ever have the pleasure of meeting, and she showed me how to be a mother, how to love, unconditionaly, i will miss her forever, she died 5 years ago aged 100. she loved her family, and i can't help but feel that there is something in you that reminds me of my nana. that is the biggest compliment i could ever give you. give Mr 3dogs hugs, and enjoy being together whatever the weather xxxxxxx

    Try asking your IT department how you can backup or archive your emails. There should also be an option to empty deleted items when you exit Outlook to save you doing it manually:

    If that fails just carry on as normal ;)

    FK how the hell didi it come to be in your possession in the first place? Did it leap into your boot?

    A buddy had a couple of pots out while we fished and it had 6 of these in it and he only wanted 2. I had one and the rest went back. I'd never tried crab before so it was nice to try something new.


    Once he was cooked.......

    The meat from one claw.....cant believe how much juice there was!

    I now have this image of him being chased by a crab with a pot belly!

    Maybe the crab won and is just trying to figure out the best way to cook him.

    Hope FK did not cook the crab for 45 minutes though - might be a bit tough, maybe he's still trying to eat a rubberised crab :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I actually cooked it for an hour! Never tasted anything so juicy. See pic of claw meat. :D

    Only thing was, the sinews didn't grab much meat as they came out from each section of the legs so had to ferret most of it out with the handle of a fork.

    Also took off the shell and no stomach pouch was visible and the inside was full of brown water with lots of bits in so reckon somehow that had burst in cooking. I just emptied the fluid and gave the rest a rinse under the tap. I just ate two bits of meat from either side of where its bum would be. Good size pieces of meat but had the consistency of a pate rather than meat and a stronger taste.

    Quite pleased overall. :)

    Thanks for the topless picture FK.....It's totally changed my perception of what you looked like. When you posted the picture of the robin eating from your hand, I thought you looked as though you might be a bit of a porker :D.....but I must say I'm very pleasantly surprised.

    If you don't want him Miss Laid, I might just throw my hat into the ring :rotfl::rotfl:

    ROFLMAO!!!

    I feel like a slave being flogged off at auction!!! :rotfl:
