Christmas is coming
and it occurs to me that if we'd had our heads screwed on, we would have asked you for Christmas-related photos...24 of them to count down to the big day. Is it too late? If you have one of your own handy, pop it in an email would you? I'm thinking snowy scene, or sparkly lights, that kind of thing - but you'll have your own idea. Don't go to huge trouble - we will need only 24 from everyone as part of our countdown, and I don't want to distract people from the you-know-what next Tuesday...but what do you think? Send em please to pm@bbc.co.uk and mark the email "lalalalala it's Christmas" - just because that would cheer us all up.

Well Eddie, all I can say is why didn't you ask me last Christmas! then I'd have a photo I could send you now.
As for snow - well bah, humbug, we haven't seen any of that stuff since (racks feeble brain) ...well the last time we had some.
Eddie,
Why is Cristmas just like another day at the office?
(A) You do all the work and the fat guy with the suit gets all the credit.
re the PM Advent Card:
Photo on its way, Eddie. But will you use it, I wonder?
Eddie.
On the off chance that you get to ask a government minister or someone of influence about road pricing today, could you ask them the following question.
Given that if I drive further, or in more congested areas, or drive a more polluting car, that each of these factors will increase my fuel consumption, why are the government intent on spending billions on technology to facilitate road pricing, when the same end result could be achieved by the simple mechanism of an increase in fuel duty which effectively taxes pollution, and is proportionate to usage? Is it because the goverment wants to tax those of us who drive smart cars the same amount as those of us who drive jags?
Eddie,
I get always get a bit paranoid around this time of the year.
I think Santa Claus is coming to get me!
Too late! too late. the Humphrey's programme has already got its advent calendar going. Anyway, you're supposed to subvert. Couldn't we draft a Panto for the team to do? Lissa as principal boy should keep some froggers pensive for a few moments.
Widow Twanky Ed?
Sorry, that wasn't an invitation.
Aunt Dahlia(6):
But who would be the Ugly Sisters?!?!?!?
SB7 (for the old-time froggers amongst you!)
Eddie,
Are you wearing your Eric outfit again today? Bee careful how you reply .....
What a giggle that was!
Just before heading off to relieve my purse of its contents in the activity known as Christmas shopping, I'd like to refer to something which appeared in yesterday's post
"Under the smoking entry there has been"
Oh froggers of little faith!
I, for one, am sure that was, indeed, Eddie commenting on the Incident of the Parma Ham (otherwise known as "Whatever happened to Clare English?")
And to suspect it could be another! And to somehow suggest ("it's a different sense of humour") the humour was not up to Eddie's usual standard .... I AM AGHAST!
This is a typical Eddie prank. How could you doubt him?
Hope you got to bed early enough for a good sleep, Eddie!
It's our christmas light switch-on do tonight!
Should we organise one for the beach and invite Eddie to be the celebrity switching-on person?
Totally off subject - so perhaps I should just add "Happy Christmas everybody!!" - but way back when, the heroin debate has been trundling along. Yesterday, Simon O. presented his tentative suggestions for a practical, workable scheme for administering heroin to addicts for the purpose of reducing crime. Anybody not yet ready to stop for Christmas might be interested in having a look.
Road pricing, is this going to be universal? If so, where is my rural bus service? I drive b****y miles to get anywhere, though would much prefer to cycle as I did in London, but the furthest I could realistically get would only get me as far as our nearest petrol station*!
*Sorry I used that joke before but nobody laughed so I had to wheel it out for a test drive again.
FF 8
Well, Richard might do, at dusk with the light behind him, and Roger could do the other on a unicycle- bearing in mind it is radio.
SB7 ? explique for the weak wits among us. Well OK, me
John H
I've been following the debate on heroin - it's probably the best that has been on the blog. Recommended reading everyone!
.... not only that but you might get killed on the way, Sparkles!
Living in the sticks, but where the roads are busy, cycling isn't a sensible option for me (thought I'd love it if I could do so safely).
Yes, the 'rural' question is one they'll need to tackel v. carefully, especially as a large swathe of us (inc. self) aren't affluent so can't afford taxis, or other expensive alternatives to cars, on a regular basis ... And as for the train fares - !
Saturday is coming. Lunch time is coming.
Anyway, I join you here to point out that my copy of Tuesday鈥檚 newsletter arrived early this morning. The two subsequent editions were on time, but this one has found a warp somewhere and ducked out that way first. Will someone tell me why - or stop it happening in future? Thanks.
...the geese are getting fat.
FF at 8 - I hope you don't think I'd offer?????
Eddie,
A Christmas thought... STRESSED is just DESSERTS spelt backwards.
Aunt Dahlia (14 currently)
SB I think stands for Should Be - as bloggers try to predict what number their post is going to be. I suppose it is to indicate when they respond as the post may get delayed and the content be irrelevant when it is displayed.
Big Sis (10 currently)
Definitely don鈥檛 agree with you Big Sis 鈥 sorry.
Ah, Aunt Dahlia,!
The SB dates back to the early days of the frog, when we noticed that sometimes posts would take a long time to appear. So, a game ensued where we would all attempt to guess what our post number would be, and include that in our post in the form of S(hould)B(e) folloed by the number. So, in the case of my earlier post, I said SB&, but it was in fact post 8, so that's a score of 1 point. The person with the lowest score wins....
(SB16, by the way...)
John H. thanks for drawing my attention back to the heroin debate I hadn't realised it was still going on and it has clearly brought out some really good discussion.
RJD:
Do you KNOW something about it, then?
Should we have a rule about (im)personation?
Eddie:
perhaps you can help us out (a) on whether or not 'twas you and (b) if the answer to (a) is 'no', how the moderators might be able to sort out the Eddies from the eddies ..... Otherwise we'll start to doubt every offering you throw our way!
Oh I KNOW it's Christmas soon & how? Because I'm playing for a ballet where the whole score is made up of Christmas carols. And it's great - at least the first few times- then it starts to drive you a tiny bit mad. Then you do a 2 show day & realise it's driving you a lot mad. It's fine for the audience who come to see it once - catchy tunes, & you pretty much know all of them. But the constant repetition of those same catchy little tunes - well - as someone said yesterday in a tea break " This is like working in a Mr K*pling factory putting the cherries on cakes - only there aren't any cakes - it's all cherries"
I'd love to take pics of the dancers but suspect there might be copyright issues. The costumes are brilliant.
Oh well, back to the cake factory. See you all later.
FFred, yup I did a wee piece for the Lilypad News, but not sure if it got through, on The Blog Game, as it was called officially. Tim C. started it, where is he now?
SparklyHelen, I laughed honestly, it's just that you cracked it on a day when I didn't have time to post, so you didn't hear me!
Eddie - I have a Christmas Pet photo on the fl*kr site already, would that do? Can you retrieve it or do I have to go to classes to learn how to email it to you??
Well we've already had lots of lovely pics. Keep them coming! Will post shortly
BigSis (10) and RobbieJohn (currently 21) - I don't think eddie mair is Eddie Mair either. I think Eddie Mair is Eddie Mair. There is Only One.

(Or should that be 'genetically unmodifiable'? ValP will kno.)
PPS Eric - read out the first bit of this message go on go on go on . . . You could start it with 'Debate is currently raging on the beach as to the true identity of a mystery blogger. In a comment that sums up the surreal absurdity of the finest blog on the 大象传媒, LadySnorkPenMaiden says . . .'

Big Sis
Look very carefully at Eddie's last post about
"Well we've already had lots of lovely pics. Keep them coming! Will post shortly"
and the one about the Parma Ham. Spot the difference?
Need any clues I'll tell you in the other place.
Hey LadySnorkPenMaiden.
Eddie Mair is unique. Just like everybody else.
RJD, it is all lost on me, but perchance the real Eddie will let us know if he has a doppleganger!
Valerie P, thanks for laughing, & I think there is a 1 year diploma course available on retrieving photos from flickr to post.
Hi Annasee (25)?
The ballet sounds great. Good tunes and lot of 'em. But I always think harps are like old people a little bit unforgiving and hard to get into and out of cars. How do you cope with it all?
Sigh, I suppose it is December now:
Season's Greetings to everyone...
I like turkey.
The smoking debate is also still going on.
Joe 30
Probably by being harpist......
Junkie behaviour?
I am struck by the fact that in the current discussions on how to ameliorate the results of excessive mobility, such as and emissions of Greenhouse Gasses, the necessity for such accelerated is never questioned.
We have apparently become so addicted to spending so much of our time and energy in rushing about or enjoying the delights of out of season foods and imported toys that we cannot bear the idea of actually doing with less. In other words, we will consider almost any solution except reducing or even questioning the 'need' for such behaviour. This is exactly how a junkie regards his or her 'need' for the next, bigger fix.
Rather than consider using less energy, we seem willing to accept the Devil's bargain and embrace nuclear power. Even the game of visiting the farm animals on ceebeebies involves flying around in an airplane.
Our standard measures mainly speed and distance.
Fly faster, further, frequent. Burn that carbon!
Get what you can, before we all run out.
We'll find another drug, when this one's gone

LadyPen
OK I was trying to be a bit covert but on thinking about it I don't suppose there is any need to be.
Eddie always signs in as - Eddie Mair
Somebody else signs in as - eddie mair
Notice the distinct lack of capitals.
Now that doesn't stop anybody else now using capitals and trying to fool us. The point is that if Eddie feels like communicating anything of import all he has to do is start a new Blog Theme.
I think that we should be very suspicious of anything contributed by any Eddie Mair within the themes themselves unless it is blindingly obvious such as those bits at posts 1 & 6 in the next Blog Theme with Fifi鈥檚 snowman.
Well said Ed (37), that report was one of the saddest, most blinkered pieces of research I've heard in a long time.
Let's hear it for the world folks, bigger airports, more cars, no investment in rail or public transport. Wonder who was paying the piper for that one? No, let me guess...
oh, and pssssst, thank you all for your kind words about the wood. Not the PM wood you understand, although, of course, that is a wonder in itself.
Oh and remember folks if you set off at a different time you will be able to drive just as far as you can now, and help the country to stay in the forefront of the race to Armageddon.
Sorry that should have read ...in the forefront of economic development. How silly of me.
The alliance of ?
I too went back to the heroin debate after being alerted to it. It was excellent all the way through, and put into words much of what i was thinking. Even when I modified what I was thinking!!
It's our town's late Christmas shopping day, and the Christmas grotto and the procession and so on, and all its done is rain all day.
The Eddie Mair debate reminds me of the person who was convinced that Shakespeare didn't write his plays, they were written by another man with the same name.
RJD
I had noticed the difference, but this could be accounted for in a number of ways:
(1) When he's in the office he has his hat on (i.e. official, caps, etc.) and when he's at home (he has posted remotely, remember!) he does it lower case,'cos he's not being paid to do it (or whatever);
(2) (Possibly related to 1 above) On his office computer, he'll have a box, just like us, in which his i.d. will sit quite happily unaltered. Similarly on his home p.c., but he may very well have not used caps when he first logged in there. Which would mean that he'll be uncapped at home.
Okay, that's two possibles. Thirdly, he may do it to make us wonder.
And, note, he's not come back to us on this one to say 'aye' or 'nay'. That, too, is odd, don't you think?
I'll post on the current thread and see what happens ..... (Probably nothing, but he might!)
(17) Interestingly, no newsletter so far today....
SB44
John H - yes thanks from me too for the redirect back to the heroin debate. An excellent debate all round and I like Simon O's thinking. Have had some personal experience (a long story which I cant get into now) but a subject I am painfully aware of. My Xmas wish would be to erradicate the entire drug addiction problem and make everyone clean, with just a wave of my magic wand!! If only........
Doc (45), I got mine hours ago. I'm afraid I've already deleted it, but I'm sure there's s kind soul out there who'll post it?
RJD, when you said "Well spotted Valery" I thought that you were winking at us to let us know that 'eddie mair' was you. Was I not right? The parma ham was even fishier than I thought! (Fearless, it would smell fishy if it were going off...)
Hi All,
I'm a bit worried about the fact that many of you seem to have gone back and read the heroin debate and not realised that Simon O was being ironic in his lengthy post suggesting solutions. I know some have read it all but decided to evaluate his solutions anyway, but there's definitely some evidence of 'reading it straight' as far as I can see...
Aperitif, that's what I thought you thought too (someone please re-tell me how to do italics? Andycroak?).
It only occurred to me originally because of the p.elliot thing, and then there was lady p....
Ach ignore me if you want, Fifi knows I'm the world's worst/best for a conspiracy theory!
Valery and Aperitif
No - not me, honest.
I have only ever posted as Robbie(John)Do and of course as BreakingNews.
My 鈥渨ell spotted鈥 was because I thought Valery had, like me, picked up the difference in capitals and no capitals. LadyPen did the same.
I think it is safer to ignore all Eddie Mairs posts that aren鈥檛 obvious.
For italics, you need 路
i
>
your text
/
i
>
but all on the same line, with no gaps apart from where I show as much in the text.
I definitely read Simon's post straight, but then it took me 3 hours to get the wasp's B team joke...
Valery: Italics are at the beginning with the same at the end, but with a forward slash befor the i.
In case this doesn't come out properly, read sidewards v - i - sidewards v, the vs enclosing.
I think there may be a guide on the offshore website that Jonnie set up.
Val P it's like this : put <i> in front of the bit you want italicated and </i> afterwards : like this :
I want <i>this</i> italicated.
Looks like :
I want this italicated.
when submitted. Do you like my new word? :)
& how do I make a word link to something instead of pasting in the entire link?
Helen (55)
If you go to the PM Blog extra site you'll find the answer here:
Thanks Anne (56) I didn't know that was there, v.g.
ValeryP (49) - that's the trouble with virtual environments. It's so easy to become someone else on a whim, to think everyone else is in on the joke, and then to find - later - that that's not the case.
I speak as one with some experience of people doing this on A*L (other ISPs are available). In fact I have chapters of a book I was writing about it before I got so fed up with the whole thing I just stopped. Praps I shd post them on Jonnie's ExtraBlog as a Nawful Warning . . ..
That last dot is a full stop, btw :-)
The person who posted as P.Elliot (with or without the caps) has owned up, and RobbieJohnDo has acknowledged his temporary alter ego (who was huge fun) and the LadyP who wasn't me (who I choose to believe wasn't doing it deliberately to cause confusion, but only because she hadn't realised there was someone already here who'd picked a similar name) has since turned up again as Justine (welcome, Justine, if you're still reading - and thanks for the steps you took to clarify the situation. I hope you'll come back).
I don't think the person who's blogged as 'eddie mair' IS The Lord Mair (if only because, as RobbieJohn says, he doesn't use caps). I think pretending to be somebody else is a pretty sh*tty thing to do, and I hope he/she/it doesn't do it again. I also hope he/she/it is reading this and feeling bad. And aplologises for identity theft. Which is a fairly nasty - if not criminal - thing to do.
Hugs to ValeryP, who's feeling confused.

LadyPen
LadySnorkPenMaiden
Now that's a wonderful name but there's no way I'm going to type that ever again, so you had better choose between LadyPen (which I love) or LSPM which I will use if provoked.
You know, I'm halfway through this post and I haven't a clue what I was going to say when I started........pause......
OK LadyPen, if you have started a book, you had (expletive) well better finish it. What's the point in starting and not finishing? Your contributions flow and read in away that I am very jealous of. It took me hours to construct the BreakingNews columns but you seem to write in an effortless and natural way.
Anyway, enough said. I've had a rough day with a three-year VAT compliance audit and am now very, very relaxed - thank you Bushmills!
On reflection, LadySnorkPenMaiden is a wonderful name, and I'll not talk to you again if you change it!
Italicated?
Do you mean italicised?
RobbieJohnDo, you must surely know you're a dreadful flirt :-)
My new name was thrown up by AndyCr when I suggested changing the old one for SnorkMaiden. I took it on because it meant there was no need for brackets - as in 'SnorkMaiden (LadyPen formerly known as Lady Penelope)' which would have gone on for faaaaaar too long - and it sounded funny.
Especially if the Lord Mair were to decide to read one of my contributions out on air.
Which he doesn't, usually.
Am still waiting for 'Contains moderate scepticism'.
Mmm. It's late. My house this evening has been full of gorgeous young men watching QI and lusting after my daughter. We fought them off.

LadyPen
Doc H. (60), no, it should be "italicacised" - another new word?
Incidentally, you have probs with '<' because it's assumed to be a sort of control character. i.e. if it doesn't make sense, it gets ignored.
Hi all, just back from the cake factory again. What a fascinating series of discussions have been going on. Re the mystery of Eddie/eddie - it might be the auto text thing- (is that what it's called?) where your computer fills in the details for you when you start typing your name. Due to a moment's inattention, & a shocking lack of know how, my normal name also has "a" as another option - I don't know how it got there, I don't know how to get rid of it, & once when I posted in a hurry, I saw later it had come up as from "a" because I hadn't clicked the right name to fill out the box. So maybe Eddie has 2 versions of his name for a similar reason? Or just maybe there IS an imposter out there? (Sinister thought)
Love "italicated" Dr H. Have taken note of all the advice, & maybe one day when my brain is less mushed than now, I will try them out instead of always doing capitals which look like SHOUTING but sometimes I feel like shouting when I've had to be quiet all evening. Except for tea breaks of course.Tonight my lightbulb on the music stand was bust, & I didn't notice til we started. Luckily there are 2 bulbs on each stand, so still had some light, but rather gloomy. Spent whole of 1st act panicking "what if OTHER bulb blows, then will have no light at all & won't be able to play & conductor will want to kill me & my own fault for not noticing before lights went down at start... etc etc" for next 40 minutes.
Please excuse ranting. Loved the Threshers item on the show tonight. Do you think they got some samples back at the office?
BTW the person ("uncouth?") who made the joke about harpists - hahahahahahahaha. I have now got a glass of nice red wine beside me, in an effort to remove the Xmas carol sound track still running in my mind. So guess I'm definitely one tonight.
Thanks to all for the "italicating" classes. I'll work on it tomorrow, I promise!
I was sent one of these Threshers Vouchers earlier in the week (to cheer me up - thinks, am I that much of a lush?), and presumed that it was a spoof. Darn! Did I delete it? Mind, I'd have to go to nearest Big City, to spend it.
AndycroakLucan, Coo says she's eaten half an acre, did she do well?
For those having trouble making word or phrase links:
I've tried three times to post instructions, but,
for some indeterminate reason, the posts don't appear.
Once more:
The word to become a link should be bracketed between normal hyperlink <tags>, thus:
<a href="link address (url)">word</a>
It will then appear simply as an underlined word (or phrase) in your posting.
Failing this, I shall post the same thing at

Due to a moment's inattention, & a shocking lack of know how, my normal name also has "a" as another option - I don't know how it got there, I don't know how to get rid of it, & once when I posted in a hurry, I saw later it had come up as from "a" because I hadn't clicked the right name to fill out the box.
Well, Bonnie Lass, it's easier than playing a harp and should hold no fears. If you place the cursor in the "Name" box and type "a" you should get a drop-down menu presenting the options "a" and "Annasee". Use the "down" cursor key to highlight the "a" then press the delete key.
Nothing counter-intuitive about it, not like getting a herp string to produce harmonics.
ps
There's a TV advert with a piratical looking gent who appears to play a harp. (I can't recall the product.) Is he an actual harpist? I am remarkably ignorant in this area (amongst many others).
LadySnorkPenMaiden (61)
RobbieJohnDo, you must surely know you're a dreadful flirt :-)
Oh, your Ladyship, I must disagree.
I think he's ever so accomplished.
Rufus A B thanks for that. It works!
As to the tv ad, I'm afraid I haven't seen it. In fact haven't seen much tv at all lately due to appalling anti social hours of work in the cake factory.
He may be a harpist, or he might not! If I ever see him I'll let you know if I recognise him. Of course, if the camera was close enough you could check his fingertips for callouses - that would be a give away. Harmonics aren't that difficult btw. Unless they're REALLY important in a piece. Then suddenly they don't work, leaving you looking like a prat... (Not you, obviously... I mean "one")

A false moustache and a cigarette holder.
Well, fellow froggers, I'm glad my faith in Eddie was vindicated. I'd suspected (as those of you who saw a posting from me on ?Friday) that he may just have a different log in/contact thingey from home. Having been a victim of similar probs in the past.
Somebody has asked (was it Valery P?) whether there's a recording of the Parma Ham incident? All I know about that was Eddie's reference to it on the posting with his pic with Clare English and the monkey. I've copied that entry. FYI, it was on 9th November. I thought it worth saving that stuff under a Eddie's Frolics section of the Guide, wherein his mischief on the Blog can be recorded for posterity ... for newbies and for general reference. There have been other frolics, I know, and I'd really welcome any ideas for bits we should add. You can do this direct to me via the bookclub link on Jonnie's site.
All contributions will be accurately attributed!
RJD last time I saw Bill he was a sea monster. Not my sort of smoothie at all.... now Johnnie Depp...
how do you fancy kohl round the eyes and a suggestive simper. Go practice!
Hi Big Sis, it was me who asked you about the parma ham incident (and no, I'm not an alias for Valery P either!). He did mention something about posting it so maybe it is available. I thought I may have missed it.
Lady Snork (58) & Big sis - could it be that when you post from another computer it doesn't recognise you...hence having to fill the name in yourself and forgetting the Capitals? (rather than a separate intentional log-in)
I really should read all the threads before commenting! The capitals/non-capitals question was answered already!
Aunt Dahlia
Sorry I think I'll have to pass on Johnny Depp - I know my limitations.
Would you consider a James Nesbitt, only more handsome and with hair? The accent is the same.
Yes, gossipmistress, that would be the case - but if Eddie regularly posts from home (which may/may not be the case) it would come up the same each time, like it does for us. However, he may pop into internet caffs to post - or use friendly pcs. I rather think he has it set up with lower case at home. Or it may be that when he posts from another computer, the 'machinery' automatically lowers the case .... I don't know enough about that side of things to comment.
I'll go back over the relevant postings tomorrow to find out all I can about parma ham ......
(Oh my, I do sound sad, don't I?)
As regular froggers will know, Johnny Depp is mine, in that he is at the top of my list (after Lissa's cat - but that's a different kind of love). However, what you won't know (but I am, inexplicably, about to tell you) is that I had a rather filthy - and unexpected - dream about James Nesbitt a few weeks back. More hair is not strictly necessary but is Fine By Me. Unenamoured of the solitary moustache as I usually am (why shave everywhere else and leave that bit?...) he was wearing the same rather fabulous one he's had in recent series of "Murphy's Law". Swoon, I tell you - swoon! Aunt Dahlia, are we going to have to fight over all of my boys?
Noily Prat, x.
If it will help me at all, I haven't had a moustache for 10 years - but whatever is required....
Oh behave yourself RJD! You know I can't resist a little smut...
Behave.... what's that...?
Behave (verb:tr) - to refrain from encouraging young women who are known to be partial to ones charms, having already declared their love on an earlier thread.
Well there I was on the beach and here you are all flirty and smutty, humph! Not really. Off to bed now cos off to big London town in the morning. Got to go for an appointment, but hoping to pop into the Serpentine to see what Damien Hirst has been collecting. Later there are tickets for A Moon for the Misbegotten, if I still have the energy at the end of the day. Bfn
Now - Bill Nighy, swoon....(well maybe just his voice)
Well I'm going to try italics again just cos it's annoyng me now. I see Valery has got the hang of them ok. Bill Nighy indeed... James Nesbitt - who he?
Oh WOW the italics worked! Look forward to lots of them from me now!
By the way Rufus - I'm on the other computer now - the one with the irritatingly persistent auto text "a" & it still won't go! I thought I'd got rid of it yesterday, forgetting it's only on one machine The one I "corrupted". I can highlight the menu option "a", press delete, & it goes away but, then next time I type "a" in the name box the little blighter is back again.
Annasee (68)
Whilst thrashing around a certain search engine, I found your charming likeness which more than made up for the lack of success in my search.
Then I found the harpist (harper?) advert:
with a close up:
If he is genuine his photo hasn't made it into the hall of fame.
I have to say your outfit is much more fetching.
Annasee (86)
next time I type "a" in the name box the little blighter is back again.
H'mm.
If you type in "A" rather than "a" does that make any diference? If not, try "an" or "An" to see if it will force it. Failing that, remove the tick from the "Remember me?" box and see if it will reset itself after you've re-completed the boxes. "Copy" your website address before unticking so you can paste it to save retyping it after re-ticking. (I'm sure you'd worked that out for yourself.)
If none of those works, I have a hammer ...
Well, if we're going to talk dirty, I'll just throw in Sean Bean. Since Clarissa in 1991, those eyes, that sense of danger, has made a good girl weak at the knees ....
Well, after all the nominations for men by the ladies of the Frog, I'd like to nominate a woman oh behalf of the men (or atleast myself). Alyson Hannigan. Cute, very funny, and you know she has an "evil" twinkle in her eye.... Oh dear! Time for me to go and have a cold shower, I think....
FFred (90);
I'm with you on that one.
There was this one time at band camp....
Si.
An 'evil twinkle'? Fred, this is an extremely illuminating insight from you. I suspect you mean 'flirtatious', or 'fun' - I can see nothing 'evil' in her eyes, but perhaps in your intentions?
Okay, Big Sis, maybe not evil-evil, just that she has a wicked side to her... (that's a fin sort of wicked, not bad sort of wicked). Oh dear, I can see my mind will not be able to concentrate on work much this morning!
Do I hear the sound of Fred wriggling?
Who is this Alyson Hannigan?
Ffred - if you are still around this beach, I've just sent a great fwd to Jonnie which you'll enjoy, if it gets through his filters and onto Fifi's Bits. It's a cross between your coke and mentoes vid, and those amazing car adverts (though as I said to Jonnie, they can't be that amazing as I can't remember what car they are advertising...)
Annasee -James Nesbitt was in Cold Feet, and in the only funny Yellow Pages ads, also Murphy's Law which I haven't seen.
Hi ValP!
Aly H is an actress who was in the following:
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
How I Met Your Mother
The American Pie Trilogy
plus a lot of other things that haven't made it over here from the US. Suffice to say she is very cute :-)
btw, if you ever want to look up a TV/Film actor/actress or film or TV Show, I'd recommend imdb.com ( ). It's an incredible reference for almost anything on film or TV...
Val P (95);
She was Willow in 'Buffy' & 'Angel'. She also played Michelle in 'American Pie', which is where my comment about 'One time at band camp' comes from. Anyone who saw the film and remembers her character is probably spluttering over their coffee right now.....

Si.
Good grief, she's not blonde, there's hope for me yet then!
Nice italics Valery :-)
See, ValP? We're not all suckers for blondes :-p
Just as well Ffred...
