    Re the GOT test...yeah, definitely.

    I take it you've not seen Ep 5 yet.....again more questions and confusion. I won't say more and spoil it for you.

    Perhaps all will be revealed in the finale.

    Just tried watching the new drama Years and Years. Fell asleep. :rotfl:

    Must admit some great drama on the box these days. Like you Chanie I like to record and watch later. I'm a bit of a binge watcher myself, saving programmes I fancy to savour at my leisure. I've still got The Bodyguard to watch.

    Maman. I won't be sorry to see the back of Jeremy Vile (Kyle). Dreadful programme.

    Talking about voices, the 2nd builder rang me up before! Full on cocky Southerner, my back went straight up, but am still letting Him come to give me a quote, just as back up;):D

    Oy, what are you trying to say about Southerners?!:eek::rotfl:

    Talking about voices.....one of my favourite voices belongs to John Hurt. It's got more gravelly with age but it's just so distinctive. And he's a Derbyshire lad:rotfl: born in Chesterfield. He has a "star" on one of our city centre pavements. It's a bit of a hall of fame for worthies ......he's next to one for Rolls Royce, so he's in good company.

    OMG, that is so weird as I meant to say earlier in my post that one man I have always loved the voice of is John Hurt.

    I actually couldn't tell what accent he had but his voice was so amazing.

    I stopped watching Game of Thrones quite a while back as I found it too violent but my husband was watching it last night and I caught some of it while I walked past. Yikes, still violent!:eek::p

    Why is it that anything on screen seems more fascinating when the sound is turned down? He had his headphones on watching it at the time and I kept standing transfixed at what was happening.:D

    I watched episode 5 last night, so I'm up to date. Without spoiling it for others, a few matters were concluded, but not the matters I was interested in.

    I'll tell you later, after the cocky cockney builder has been round ;):rotfl:
    No seriously, i'm not Southernist, but was expecting, the usual dulcet Northern tones when he rang, so was taken aback:rotfl:
    Last night's one was a reet Northern Lad.So blunt, I was actually laughing at him, but think He might be the one for the job;)
    T'other one's coming round at 6pm , will keep you posted hun :D

    Well a busy day here. Got a call from school to pick up sick GC. Then got a call from hospital, they have my referral for a dexa scan and although I haven't had the forms to fill in they had a cancellation could I go in? So off I dashed and here I am a week after GP referred me and I've had the scan and results instead of a 3 month wait. The less good news is I have osteopaenia so I am off to research that now.


    I'm pretty sure someone on here has it? I remember when we were talking about dexa scans a few months ago so if anyone is an osteopaenia expert I am all ears if not bones.

    Wednesday - I got half way through the article and lost the will to live lol!
    Humpty it may have been me. I have osteopenia in the base of my spine. You need to increase any weight bearing exercise. Walking, Jogging, Skipping also you may be prescribed Calcium and Vit D. Sunshine is a good source of vit D but in moderation.
    HTH.
