Archers update SPOILER w/c 29/11

2009-11-28T14:09:34Z

The Archers update, probably by Susan Jeffreys, from the Daily Mail's
Weekend magazine:
The rain drips off the horrible, waxy leaves as the car crunches up
gravel path taking Jack to his new home, The Laurels. Don't go, Jack!
Don't go! Remember how Marjorie Antrobus and Pru Forrest disappeared
into profound silence, once those gloomy portals banged shut behind

Umratic Google wave

2009-11-28T08:35:56Z

I've just (I hope!) created a public wave for umratic stuff.
You should be able to find it with a search on 'with:public
title:umratic', and I've put a few suitable tags in there as well.

Prison visiting - spoiler Thursday 26/11

2009-11-27T16:48:52Z

Lillian seemed a bit slow on the uptake when visiting Matt, I thought.
He's going to have to spell it out to her:
1/ Getting out early depends on staying out of trouble.
2/ Staying out of trouble means not being in a fight, not just not
starting one.
3/ Avoiding a fight requires keeping your head down, being normal,

OT: And did those feet?

2009-11-26T16:26:07Z

I only drop in from time to time, to get a good dose of intelligent
chat.
What do you make of this then?

Virgin vs Hotmail again.

2009-11-26T08:41:26Z

I spoke too soon when I said I'd cracked it. Although my email initially
downloaded after I'd enabled 'pop', it still doesn't download to Outlook
unless I go to the Virgin website and do a manual download, at which point
all 600 odd emails on there reappear in my inbox.

OT - Tesco arithmetic

2009-11-25T22:07:36Z

I was just looking at the ingredients list for Tesco product 5 018374
341327 >, and it is:
Wheat (67%), Sugar (34%), Glucose Syrup, Honey (3%), Sunflower Oil,
Iron, Niacin, Thiamin, Riboflavin.
(First thought as I'm _typing_ the above - capitalism gone mad.)
My first thought on reading it - Hmm, there's rather a lot of sugar in

Ask EU: South African Charities

2009-11-25T21:41:33Z

The lovely Mrs E and I have grown to love South Africa over several
visits.
We'd like to do something to support a reputable charity in that
country, preferably in the educational area.
But there is a bewildering choice. Does anyrat have *direct* knowledge
of a good 'un?
A UK presence would be a bonus, since the taxman can chip in as well.

I'm starting to get a perverse pleasure from Vicky. She is so gloriously
crass.
That Coriander seems to be a nice gel. Funny - I thought Robert's offspring
had been presented as problematic. Maybe it's just the other one.

OT - ask UMRA: heated knives?

2009-11-25T01:08:31Z

My blind friend has mentioned (Christmas pressie discussions) a "heated
knife for cutting frozen food", or words to that effect. She thought it
was a Betterware product, but it doesn't seem to be, not Kleeneezee.
1. Does anyone have any links?
2. Are they any use? I have a suspicion they may well not be.

Very OT - Jo Corfield won't shut up!

2009-11-24T20:17:59Z

Oh yes she will - at least in this household; the Radio 3 preset or the
'off' button both do the trick. Sorry any JC followers but I am not
amongst you!

OT: It's in the Torygraph, so it must be true..

OT: Calling a Welsh-speaking Umrat

2009-11-24T11:29:02Z

I believe we have at least one Welsh-speaker amongst us although I
regret to say I've forgotten who you are. Can you translate "mab gwyn"
please?
I know it 's some sort of "son", but what, precisely?

Did no one else notice that Skype has come to Ambridge? I just hope Caz
and Justin get better lines than I get sometimes.
