We decided upon a rump steak each which cost us £7 for the two. We thought we might have been a bit silly choosing a cheap steak meal but it was very good. Let's hope it's as good next time, if we go again.<BR/><BR/>Sports Desk: I'm not really bothered whether Fergie is objectionable or not. I never have to deal with him. It was indeed a good win with what some would see as United's second-rate midfield. Panthers won in Edinburgh last night and have closed the gap on Steelers to 5 points. Belfast and Coventry also threaten.<BR/><BR/>Arts Desk: thanks for the sugar factory info by e-mail, Bob. I'll try to get there but not sure when I'll be able to make it.<BR/><BR/>How nice to have all the family commenting; I hope they continue to do so.<BR/><BR/>When I was on the way home from work today a presenter on Radio Nottingham said "Kate Winslett has got two Golden Globes." I understand she's an excellent actress.<BR/><BR/>RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-91720005651306540762009-01-12T17:36:00.000+00:002009-01-12T17:36:00.000+00:00Hello everyone.
