Airplane! is on film4 right now which in my view permanently justifies the existence of the channel, as I have only just turned it on +1 is fully justified too.

I got to watch most of Toy Story this afternoon with the sound off. Still enjoyed it Come to think of it, perhaps that's where they got the idea that I would be distracted by a cuddly toy...

I probably shouldn't smugly announce that I had no problems getting about. I did get very wet though if that compensates.

Except that I also got soaked. And spent ages in traffic jams.

Nikkster look away now.
Only good point was the bill for the work on the car was the same bill I reported a while back. So I left a fat tip. And the tyre place I thought was going to say I needed four tyres but only charged me £15 to fix a flat.

I did spend far too much time reversing the big car between cars in a packed garage.:eek:

I've no gift for that so I feel sorry for the people who had to put up with my slow meanderings.

Spent the evening walking the dog so he could do his bisness which he did with alacrity and dragged me home. I had to slow him down to stuff the papiermache that started the journey as christmas cards through my neighbours doors.:)

Well, the new fridge is installed, the turkey has arrived, the shopping is finished, the cupboards are stuffed to bursting point, the bar is full, the presents are wrapped, and it's time for a well earned drink.

May even pop to Tesco tomorrow and take advantage of any last minute specials to fill the giant new freezer.

I didn't travel far today, but I spent a lot of time in traffic jams. Probably a good thing as I didn't pick up speed very quickly (not sure whether it was the diesel bit or the automatic bit).

DH is still out with ours, my guess is they are not complying. They usially get a bit of a stroll, either just around the yard to check gates in bad weather or, if its not too grim, down the track to the cake. If its good they go once round the cake at least and the gate check.

Tonight they'll be trying to huddle in a barn, but the lak of movement wo n't be helping them perform.

Dog dog had enjoyed Harry potter, and loved the word expelliamus. Did a little jig t it, so DH and I are obsoleting widdly wee wee and phasing in expelliamus. Shrug.....whatever makes her happy.

She does have to get somewhere.... work. It's a 100 miles return trip at best; 200 at least once a week. Today 110, tomorrow ... er, I wasn't listening, but 110 at least.

Can't not go .... same field as, say, NDG, so expensive people in strange garbs, having all worked for months to get to this point ..... can't phone in and say "it's a bit windy".

Oh, OK, I misunderstood your post then. Sorry. :o:o:o:o

Wind has really picked up her in last ten or so minutes. Very noisy. Not a good time to be living at the top of a hill.

Hope your gable end is ok lir.

Just reading that and I've noticed it's sounding very windy here too, and it's pretty flat. Hope everyone survives the weather in one piece.
Obv the storms are the immediate concern, but the river here is looking very high and muddy. Not a great sign.

Can we cancel Xmas please? I'm @&$!ing sick of this. Schmaltz, commercialism, waste, expense and annoying people. Why can't my wife's family do a Chris Kringle like normal people? I must have blown $300 on tat that nobody wants let alone needs.

Always risky recommending programmes you haven't yet seen, but the writer Caitlin Morgan has a series pilot tonight 10.50 ch 4 raised by wolves, may amuse PN and other NPs.

Retracted.

Unless you have read her columns or her book, don't bother watching.
