[bolt pp]

has anybody seen the feature on new samsungs?  you can actually create a fake call, press a button and about 5-10 seconds later your phone rings and you can make your excuses!

lol yeah what **** came up with that, blinding though

At the moment, I am in "Something new breaks very day" mode. (When I say "Something new breaks", I don't mean the thing that breaks is new, I mean the thing that breaks hasn't broken before)

(well actually, It might have done, but you know what I mean)

Tomorrows job is the hot tap in the shower. It started to drip last night, and by this morning I was ready to confess all my secrets.

I'm home alone tomorrow. This is my to-do list.

Fix dripping tap.

Ring AOL to chase the new router they promised me as a cure for my slow download speed when I threatened to change to BT.

Take dustbins and other rubbish including old microwave, (I forgot to tell you about that breaking) to tip.

Go to shops on bike. (12 mile round trip means I can do chores and get exercise at same time)

Shopping list:

1 doz eggs (Lg)

2 loaves Warburtons wholemeal. (They're always runnning out, when I ask why they don't stock more, they say "There isn't much call for it")

1 loaf Hovis soft white (Medium sliced)

1 cooked chicken (Extra tasty)

I pack mange tout/sugar snap mix.

1 pack washed spinach.

5lb new potatoes.

1 semi skimmed milk. (4pt)

2 x 5 fat balls.

1lb sunflower seeds.

1lb wild bird seed mix.

(Five hungry mouths and lots of beaks to feed)

Is that the Warburton's Stoneground Wholemeal ?

That's my favourite brown loaf, but it's not stocked everywhere.

No Ralph. It's Warburtons Wholegrain. It's full of seeds, grains, and other crunchy bits and bobs.

I'm surprised at that shopping list. I would have had you down as a 'vegetables in season' type. Lots of airmiles in those sugar snap peas and new potatoes in January...

The potatoes are from Lincolnshire (Well they're from Morrison's actually) but it says on the bag "Lincolnshire New Potatoes"

I noticed them on the shelf the other week and bought them on a whim. They're bloody delicious. I have no idea how they produce them, or store them until January though.

As for the sugar snaps, you've got me bang to rights, but I like to add them to strips of stir fried chicken along with a dollop of raita dip (39p a pot, or 3 for a £) It makes a lovely tasty low fat lunch.

[RED-DOG]

Sometimes I put a portion of my fried chicken with sugar snaps and raita into a Tupperware container and take it to DTD with me.

The vallets say, "Hey, what's that you're eating?" and I say "Oh, it's just a little something I made myself, would you like to try some?"

Knocks em bandy that does.

You could just take some of your wild bird seed and sprinkle it on normal bread

Don't bug me, I'm fixing t' tap an it's a reet tow o a job.

[Dingdell]

Current queue for bird feeder includes 2 blue tits, 1 robin and 2 starlings. Is it ok that the robin is trying it on with one of the tits? And also how come the starlings push each other off the feeder but wait patiently when other (smaller) birds are having their go?

the starlings will know the pecking order within their own group, but won't risk taking on an aggressive "Outsider" even if it is smaller.

Perhaps the robin is a tit man. (I'm more of a leg man myself)
