Hi, Rusty!
Yes, I wondered if our first posts had "crossed"!
Hope you are still there to read this?
Thank you for the extra info for Lin - actually, that is just the sort of thing that I think would appeal to her, so I've quickly sent it on to her. She leaves for Edinburgh tomorrow.
Good luck with the haddock- will it be smoked?
What are you looking for in Currys?
Thank you - I will endeavour to enjoy my "lunch"!

ChrisE,

My irrelevant post was meant to check my banned or unbanned status too !

Hi, Pigale!
I couldn't believe how many spam messages there were when I looked in early this morning!!
Over 100 pages, that means there were over 2000 threads!!
No wonder Norah was concerned that someone might have inadvertently become banned!

Hello, Elle,
Got my haddock! I went to the baker, too.
Got apple squares!
I was looking in Curry's for a new wireless.
I have an old one, and there are radio stations on my Sky TV, but not local ones.

This link is about William Chambers.
I do not think he would be too chuffed about his Dictionary being published with words missing!
Anyway, a quick bite to eat and then I am over the river to Fife. Busy, busy, busy!

Hi rusty
Did you see my link a little earlier to the Monty Python spam sketch? Worth a look!

If Lin is going out of Edinburgh, Falkirk Wheel is also worth looking at or even a visit to Stirling Castle will
occupy all day. Great value

Hello Elle,

I fail to see what the people who issue those spam are hoping to achieve other than becoming a pest ! It's no more than verbal vandalism -

Sorry about your weather; did you get drenched when walking the dogs ? That's one thing about pups (I always call dogs 'pups' even when they are adults - a gentle nickname) most of them do not mind getting wet; in fact for a lab or a retriever, it's hopeless - mine just made a dive in the first puddle and shook right next to me, looking very pleased with themselves. Luckily, they are self-cleansing dogs !

Hi, Rusty!
I had a most enjoyable lunch! It was nice to catch up on everyone's news!
Thank you for the link on William Chambers - no, he is probably 'turning in his grave ' over the omission of those 500 words! and still, there is silence on that subject....? I doubt I will ever hear more.....
Well done on the successful purchase of a satisfactory piece of haddock.... when are you going to eat it? How do you cook it?
Any luck in purchasing a new radio? Currys is a good shop- we have one quite local to us.
You said you were going to Fife? Now you know me and Geography.... where is Fife? is that near to Dundee?

Hi pigale
The weather here is awful,wet and cold,I thought my husband was late coming home he volunteers at our local steam train but it was just that the sky was dark and it was only 4pm we actually had the heating on last night the rain is doing wonders for my pears but the tomatoes are still green so they may have to go into a chutney.How are the kittens?Our oldest cat aged 20 is being very kittenish at the moment playing with leaves and bits of paper.When I saw the spam this morning I thought the Chinese had bought the website
