Blimey shoz, you do pop up on the oddest threads. My kids asked me who shot JR and I had to confess I don't know. Didn't watch it then, don't warch it now. Sorry to pop up unannounced but I like to see what's happening from time to time. It was actually Kristin, Sue Ellen's sister that did the dast...

Quite topical really because on Monday JR Ewing got shot in Dallas that is currently being shown on UKGold.
(Not that I watch it, of course!) :oops:

A fantastic ceremony, makes me proud to be British!

Slightly off topic but did anyone see Prince Andrew desperately trying to skip his way back in step at the Falklands service on Sunday? The guy can't even march!

Heaven or Hell?

With the lighter nights and warmer days upon us, what is your idea of Heaven and what is your nightmare? My idea of Hell is - sitting outside a pub in a beer garden melting in the hot sun, surrounded by people that are unable to have a conversation with whom ever they are with without the entire pub...

I use AVG and, touch wood, haven't had any viruses or spyware since I installed it. What I can't understand is - the Windows operating system is prone to all sorts of threats but if you use an AppleMac they cannot get any viruses. Surely Bill Gates and his huge empire have the resourses to make Wind...

Overseas call centres

What's everyone's take on call centres abroad? With the news that Barclaycard are making 600 people redundant in Manchester and sending some of the work to Yorkshire (I believe) and the rest to India, is this a good thing? I recently spoke to a call centre in India, and to be honest, I couldn't unde...

Many thanks to all -(even if we did stray ever so slightly off topic, don't get me started on apostrophies, misplaced ones are a pet hate of mine)- I think I am getting there, slowly but surely.

English - help

I know most of you will think this rather pathetic, but I am struggling with some English. Can anyone explain to me, with examples if possible, the difference between a regular verb and an irregular one. Why is one regular and the other not? Sorry to be so basic but I would be grateful for your repl...

Track Santa

For anyone with young children/grand children, you may be interested in this site.
I think it is really good that an organisation as big and important as this one can take the time for something like this.

Oh come on - if they had actually got to the moon that long ago, how come they've never been back ? Logically, there should be a thriving space station set up there for a couple of decades now... They do say that the original spoof was filmed by Stanley Kubrick ... 2001 was much better , though, an...

Re: Were they ever there?

Go back? I detect a microbe of disbelief in a few replies as to whether or not we ever went to the Moon in the first place. Yes, I have read the articles and seen the tv programmes about 'fake' photographs and lens crosses appearing behind astronauts etc etc. But I have also read independent articl...

Do you think NASA should go back to the Moon?

I personally can't wait to see mankind back on the Moon. I know people will shout about problems here on Earth, Africa, schools, hospitals etc etc. But I think it is in our nature to explore and we have to start somewhere.
