I'm also a big fan of Marilyn Monroe. Maybe I was born too late?<BR/><BR/>I had a conversation with a work colleague today about £3.50 carveries. She started it by saying she had been to one somewhere south of Nottingham and she thought it was awful though her friend said it had always been good in the past. We agreed maybe it was something to do with chefs though I verge towards RG's views.<BR/><BR/>I'd be interested to hear the chaps views on the exhibition at Buxton. I saw Dave Butcher give a day's talk at Gamma Photoforum. I wasn't too impressed though 4 hours is a lot to fill.<BR/><BR/>RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-91923927043710256452008-01-23T10:40:00.000+00:002008-01-23T10:40:00.000+00:00Graham has explained the 'logger' sounding like 'l...Graham has explained the 'logger' sounding like 'logeur' which makes all clear!

I've never seen 'Casablanca' fortunately as I was never a fan of Humphrey Bogart. Bogart has a completely different meaning from a name for me!<BR/>If you're still having a problem getting the free version of WordWeb RG, you can get it from:<BR/>http://www.download.com/WordWeb/3000-2279_4-10003201.html<BR/>It's a later version than the one we've been using since 2006, so maybe it's time for an update for us!<BR/>I hope you have a lovely time in Buxton. It's a very nice town, at least it was when I was there in 1983!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00854803062165881691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-75468410078837897822008-01-23T00:51:00.000+00:002008-01-23T00:51:00.000+00:00Sandra has seemed a little better today although s...Sandra has seemed a little better today although she echoed your comment by saying that she feels like a leper. She did at least eat a soft cob (known as ‘pubs’ in Northants I believe and ‘cut-arounds’ somewhere else) with a generous roast veg filling.<BR/><BR/>I feel that some unkindness is being shown to the £3.50 carveries. It is certainly accepted that one cannot expect haute cuisine at such a price but I would certainly be happy to eat once or twice a week at the Snooty Fox in Ollerton where the food is better than acceptable, the quantities are generous, and the accompaniments appropriate (except that they do try to force serve Yorkshire pudding with all meats).<BR/><BR/>I quite understand the ‘we hear’ shorthand, Madeline, but the ‘ue’ was the one bit that was not specifically dealt with, so far as I can see - or perhaps I am missing something? But as Bogart said at the end of Casablanca … ‘(it) don’t amount to a hill o’ beans.’<BR/>I managed to sign up with free Word Web without any trouble. Thanks for that; it looks useful, although I still like getting my big Longmans dictionary or Roget down from the shelf.<BR/><BR/>Greatly enjoyed AnonRob’s newspaper report on Chinese beaches. <BR/>You seldom get that at Skeg.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
