Plant with attitude. I like. Jay: Ahh, bless him. What a brave boy. Yes, I love hills. Cavan has spoiled me with hills, gorse, lakes and..er..wind turbines (what? I like them). xx Wee One: Good grief, we’re brain damaged!! x

And he was a very brave Pirate! And yes, I have the same trouble listening to some accents. We have a Norn Irn (did I get that right?) newsreader and I listen but find I didn't retain any actual info, I've just been listening to the dirdledirdledirdle! LOL! It is a very attractive accent though. Jennynib - "Damn! I miss living on the Border! The accent is brave and flat here in the bog… erm… midlands." Ah, are you in the fens? We're just on the edge. Brave and flat indeed, both accent and landscape. I miss the hills... EM - the eyeball ultrasound wasn’t too bad, came to £170 something altogether! And he was a very brave Pirate!

I just love booze that gets you drunk from the feet-up :) I agree, gorse is a most wonderful and clever plant, and of course it has the added excitement of setting itself on fire every now and then.

Someone did tell me where there was larger one but it's fallen out of my brain. The same brain which I've probably damaged with Thunderbirds (chequered past also).

The lst time I had that I was 19 and I took my ex-gal to visit my brother in Loughborough. We went to the park to have a student picnic (crisps and two bottles of thunderbird). And the rest as they say is forgotten history. @Jen
