I have had a phobia about dentist since I was a child but at last I have found one who is kind and considerate my family are amazed that in my dotage I actually go before I have raging toothache.as for Marmite or vegemite both make me feel ill but my husband loves them but I like pickled walnuts which he finds gross

I just read the little exchange between Rusty and Pigale about the value of meeting with people and I just felt inspired to say that this thread is obviously very helpful to the folk who talk to each other on it. Although I don't join in very often (I'm usually chasing round like a headless chicken these days!) I do support the facility of people with similar interests (e.g. crosswords) being able to have cheerful companionship online. It's good to be reminded that not all of us can get out and about. Enjoy chatting! Bye for now.

Thanks for your comments Susan, and it is a shame you can't join in more often !

Yes, this thread is evolving into a chat room, as Norah intended. Only missing the coffee!
It is not everyone who can get out and about and chatter to to the shop assistants or the lollipop lady.
Or their dentist!
It is great to see the topic/s take a off at a tangent down an uncharted path, too!


Elle, still no icons.
Plan B.
I am going to uninstall the Tesco launcher and find a better one in the Play Store. Fingers crossed!

Rusty, you are fast becoming the forum's (or the Coffee Shop's ) favourite "Agony Uncle" . Good for you :)

Hi, Rusty!
I'll bet you've never had such a prompt reply from me! I was just about to message you when your post appeared before me!!
I'm glad to hear that you didn't break another tooth!
Speaking of crowns..... I haven't got around to replacing my dodgy one yet!
The expedition to find coffee this morning turned into a mammoth hunt! I like Nescafe Blend 37 (oops! is that advertising?)but couldn't find it anywhere. I've bought something different -Alta Rica?
Watched Rafa Nadal lose to Dolgopolov at Queen's this afternoon.
Plan B? hope it works - let me know how it goes!

I haven't see "Blend 37" for yonks, elle, but I think "Alta Rica" is its replacement - it's the only instant I drink.

It's in Tesco (is that advertising?) !

Hi Jazzgirl, I reckon you'll be safe talking about coffee, it's fine, so long as you don't start advertising cheap k------s - and I don't means knickers!
