Liked fiery's but just pipped by ixion @ 7 (if memory serves since it is proving inordinately long to get a post accepted yet again).

@ aristo: wasn't aware of your post last week as I no longer look in regularly due to the problems in posting and I only "tryi" and persevere because I've "met" so many good guys on this site which deserves to continue on that basis alone (jolan's 5 seems to be Ill destined, shame, shame). I'm assuming the game you were referrimg to was College football, which I know nothing about so didn't have a bet.

Just busby and theambler to go.

ginge: College football is a huge thing over here, and since you follow the NFL I thought you might try to cash in on its younger version.

Hi
GINGE @ #12#

BTW Aristo
Providence popped up again in the Jumbo 1169.
What is its attraction???

Cheers THEA(O)

I'll wait for busby...till closing time at least.

theambler: I love Providence. Its College Hill is the most beautiful 18th-century neighborhood I've ever seen.

Hi aristo Thanks for the pics It does look good. Noticed on map OLNEY STREET. I do know olney a little. One of my ancesters who lived in the village of Yarley was sent to Tasmania for manslaughter - it did him no harm He lived to be 90!!!1 Of course Olney is associated with Newton and (.......???) 18th c Hymn writers - Brown the founder was from High Wycombe just 40miles up the road.

All the best Thea(O)

Looks like Fj takes the throne of officialdom.

FJ @ 18

So short a prize after such a build-up (deflating words, teehee). Thanks, everyone.

Sorry I was late; it took about twenty tries.

Congrats, FJ; thanks aristo.
