Please be careful; wouldn’t want to lose you to an overdose.<BR/><BR/>I don’t mind my fish being just cooked or slightly underdone. I do think overcooking spoils it.<BR/>I’m with the chefs on this and beef but not with some other underdone things, eg, pink lamb or duck.<BR/><BR/>Like the quote very much. Wish I had thought of it.<BR/><BR/>Jill:<BR/>I have still to watch 'The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency' but I quite enjoyed the book - gentle easy reading. <BR/>I watched 'He Kills Cops' which looks promising.<BR/><BR/>'James the Fish', our usual supplier sells only frozen fish, much of it 'frozen at sea', which he claims, reasonably enough, is as fresh as you can get it!<BR/><BR/>Rob:<BR/>It must be ‘ Blackboard Jungle’- which started the Rock & Roll era; theme tune Bill Haley’s ‘Rock Around the Clock’ (my first thought was the Asphalt Jungle’ which was quite different.) <BR/>But, for Glenn Ford (one of my favourite actors), not a patch on the ‘old fashioned modern western’ ‘3.10 to Yuma‘ (Time waits for one man) from an Elmore Leonard story, which I watched on telly again on Monday. <BR/>Were 2 endings made? On Monday, Ben Wade (Ford) was walked to the train but I am sure that when I saw it at the cinema, and previously on TV, he was taken to the railway station much more dramatically, standing up on a flat back wagon with a shot gun held under his chin (by Van Heflin playing his usual role of taciturn, salt of the earth, good guy, resisting temptation. It must have been him in ‘Shane’?)<BR/><BR/>I think Festinger had too much to say.<BR/><BR/>I cannot help wondering how tall your ‘little friend Denis’ is?<BR/><BR/>Things I was told:<BR/>‘Don’t run with a stick in your mouth’.<BR/>‘Don’t drink out of someone else’s glass’.<BR/>‘Don’t suck pennies (it will give you canker)’.<BR/>‘Don’t throw stones (you could put someone’s eye out)’.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-90794744117017602782008-03-26T09:58:00.000+00:002008-03-26T09:58:00.000+00:00Welcome back RG and glad you and Y had a good time...Welcome back RG and glad you and Y had a good time. I like the picture of the cakes even if that wasn't quite what you meant.<BR/><BR/>Was the Glenn Ford movie you are thinking of <I>Blackboard Jungle</I>?<BR/><BR/>I didn't like the <I>No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency</I> and soon switched over to something else. For me, it didn't capture the charm of the book. However, I frequently don't like watching adaptations of books I've enjoyed reading.<BR/><BR/>I haven't read through Festinger's theory but it seems to me that if you talk about something then you have a heightened awareness of it for a period of time and then are bound to notice it. Is that what he says? If so maybe the theory falls down when you in a strange area and are almost out of petrol. For some reason you can never find a filling station anywhere.<BR/><BR/>Last night I went to Nottingham and Notts Photographic Society as Tony Worbiec was giving a talk. I missed Tony when he visited Eastwood recently so it was good to see him again and catch up. We agreed it must be 5 or 6 years since we had last met. He hasn't changed a bit, lovely man, generous with his time and advice and a superb photographer. He's an entertaining speaker as well.<BR/><BR/>I went with my little friend Denis who has now returned from his 'wintering' on the Costa Del Sol. Denis and Joan have been away for about 6 months over winter for the past three years and have already booked their caravan site for next winter. Oh, the joys of retirement.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link to the Lion at Basford; it's well worth a visit.<BR/><BR/>RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
