    :think:

    Well we have heard nothing from the travellers :eek:

    So we are assuming they caught the flight from Schiphol to Atlanta yesterday afternoon.
    In fact we are assuming they caught the flight from Birmingham to Schiphol :o making the 1 hour transfer.
    So they should be sleeping somewhere in Atlanta airport as it is 5 hours behind
    mustn't worry :o

    Changing the tv channel by getting up out of the chair, walking over to the tv set and pressing one of three buttons.

    Morning all :)

    I remember that. In fact when we bought our first home in 1986 we didn't have enough money spare for furniture so we had a portable black and white TV perched on telephone directories. The TV only had 4 presets, so BBC2 and Ch5 had to share.

    I remember channel 4 launching in around 1983.

    I remember a fancy dress party around 1970 where I was dressed as a tiger because Esso had an advert about their petrol putting a tiger in your tank.

    :)

    Lovely day with my friends yesterday in IKEA.
    Had our meatballs & free teas.
    Discovered my friend is 5 weeks pregnant :D but too early to announce to 'everyone' so you lot keep it zipped ;)

    Huge bars of Diam chocolate :o:o

    Then we called in at Aldi :) which is a store I have never been in since 20 years ago & you had to pay cash & everything was in cardboard boxes. We are having one built nearby so I will certainly be calling in - friend stocked up on their nappies, states they are the best & don't leak.

    And my clown foot in a sandal behaved it self :T

    Aldi are going to be doing them next month apparently

    OMG, I adore Daim :o Just as well I can't get to Ikea on my own :rotfl::rotfl:

    My friend uses the Aldi nappies and swears they are the best.

    Glad your foot behaved, although I have all sorts of images of your foot running off by itself and kicking people :rotfl::rotfl:
