The message
from "Mike" contains these words: Have a nice day. Pouring with rain on the Isle of Wight and it has been since 3.00am Dry here in Norfolk, and have just raided Tesco's. They have some excellent malt whiskies (Including Laphroaig and Laphroaig cask-strength, Fritz) with £5 off. Festive pork pies half-price - freezer is refilling - so any visiting Urgling carnivore needn't go hungry...... I really must turn this box off and get down to something useful before it does rain. -- Rusty Hinge http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/tqt.htm Dark thoughts about the Wumpus concerto played with piano, iron bar and two sledge hammers.

Dry in Zuid Holland but it was chucking down in West Friesland this afternoon. The mild weather seems to have turned the canals rotten and that combined with the stink of freshly cut cauliflowers ruined my afternoon. -- Martin |

The message

Oh, er, sorry Franz, muster hadda Brianstürm. I don't like Laproaig, but my daughter does. She is due back from China tomorrow so will send her off to our Tesco as soon as she has recovered ;-)) Not the only ones by a longmorn - er - long chalk. I just happen to worship at the shrine of laphroaig, and have done since 1958, so I was very happy to find some with the offer on them. I also got an Ardbeg with the same reduction, for my brother, but I don't expect you'll like that either. Festive pork pies half-price - freezer is refilling - so any visiting Urgling carnivore needn't go hungry...... :-(( Put on half a stone over Christmas :-(( Didn't help by having 4 Christmas Dinners I'm still losing weight a little bit at a time. I can get into all my old trousers and weskits now. I really must turn this box off and get down to something useful before it does rain. Quite agree but I dart backwards and forwards in and out of this box ;-) So do I - I tell myself, unconvincingly. Garden and everything VERY wet.

Beautiful sunny day, but everything is still frozen bone hard at the top end of Wensleydale. It is certain to do some more freezing tonight. Franz |

writes Janet - I am going to expire with curiosity before 2004 gets a grip on the world! PLEASE - gi'us a clue! The quiz is set by the RHS and is fairly difficult, I am not sure about a couple of my answers and another two I don't know. One question was: The plant hunter, David Douglas, worked for the Horticultural Society, (the forerunner of the RHS), in the 19th century and in 1834 lost his life while plant hunting in the Sandwich Islands when he was a) Eaten by a shark b) Bitten by a snake c) Gored by a bull d) Attacked by killer bees the other that I can't do was a picture of some fir cones and you had to guess: These cones are typically borne by: a) Korean fir b) Douglas fir c) Serbian spruce d) Corsican pine I get the telegraph every day any way but it's all on the Daily Telegraph web site and you can enter on line: the page for the actual quiz is http://www.telegraph.co.uk/promotion...l/content/prom otions/2003/12/11/rhs_form.jhtml BUT you have to register on the site before taking part. However anyone can take part so why not have a go? janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
