    Just thought I'd make other froggers feel a bit better if they too are feeling clueless!

    Big Sis, are you reviving all your teenage fantasies or something?

    LOL Fifi, I haven't got a clue either. Is it meant to be Eric Selleck?

    Anyway, completely off the subject, but how come if you manage to get a "month listing" of Eddie's blogs, the comments link has a number next to it saying how many comment there are (like back in the "good" old days) but when you have the normal "Main listing" it doesn't (like we were told was part of the solution to all those problems we used to have)? Does this mean that the two parts are handled by different systems?

    I'm not sure I should admit this, but what the heck -- I have the Magnum PI theme as my mobile ringtone... I was looking for Charlie's Angels, happened upon it, and never got around to changing it. I wouldn't want anything else now.

    Thank you for the explanations.

    I've grumbled before that I can't cope with multiple new threads in any one day ... thank goodness for understanding Froggers!

    Now, where's that grindstone.....?

    A High Court judge has ordered a rethink of the government's nuclear power plans, after a legal challenge by environmental campaigners Greenpeace.


    A judge ruled that the consultation process before the decision last year had been "misleading", "seriously flawed" and "procedurally unfair".


    Greenpeace said ministers should "go back to the drawing board".


    But Tony Blair said while the ruling would change the consultation process, "this won't affect the policy at all".

    Thank God, there is little chance of new nukes in Scotland, where there is a strong majority against it (SNP, SLab, SLDEM, Green)

    What is this obsession with Chris Moyles?

    And as I write this, Eddie seems obsessed with Patricia Hewitt.

    Ah well, we all have our passions ... ;o)

    Just wondered - anyone considered superimposing Eddie's face on that photo? The B/W version at the top of the page has him facing in approximately the right direction, and we can easily hide the cut-off at the forehead under the original actor's hairdo. The only problem would be faking a flesh tone for Eddie's pic - a black/white face on a colour body would look a little suspicious...

    Um, mittfh - That IS Eddie's face in the photo. Just look at those eyes ...... and the nose ...... Otherwise, it's all a bit pointless.

    The picture dates, I believe from Eddie's youthful twenties, when perms were all the rage and hair was more plentiful ;o) It was an easy transition from shirts Hawain to rugby.

    Eddie: Thank you for being such an excellent sport!

    Correction to my posting @32:

    It is all very pointless, of course.

    Incidentally, for what it's worth, I think Eddie suits a Magnum much more than a Becks. Then again, though, he's absolutely fine just the way he is in real life.
