  1. :cheese_wedge:
  2. This is what I see on my laptop screen:
  3. I have always said that's it's a good job we can't actually control the weather. It would only give us another reason to go to war with each other.
  4. :cheese: :cheese cheese Why am I thinking Val's talking about some emoticon that only works on a smartphone or tablet...
  5. I think Charlie Dalton (aka Nuwanda) may have the number you need....
  6. Many years ago, whilst I was still at university, some of the experiences I had after sampling a variety of mystical substances made me realise that even the 'reality' that we think we normally experience is almost certainly not the totality of all realities.... (Just saying) (And did what I just said even make sense?)
  7. Hi, tinkerbelle!
  8. Gary! How's things, buddy?
  9. I know! And the Dutch and Germans make some great cheeses as well. As do many other countries. (And why can't I find a cheese emoticon on GA's list)
  10. I just hope it's not going to affect my visit to Germany....
  11. That's the sort of thing I often say to a fellow shopper in the supermarket when they let some fresh food fall out of their hand or shopping basket... "Now that shows just how fresh the food in this store really is!" (I can get a whole gamut of different reactions to that one)
  12. I think I'd be more worried if it was cooked meat that was doing that... (And I strongly suspect that video was probably faked in some way)
  13. Not sure what I can say here.... Just know that I understand your pain.
  14. I feel sorry for all those poor chickens... Running around with no wings, just because humankind has decided chicken wings taste nice.
  15. Hey, duggie! Hope all's well with you.
  16. Article can be read here: The Independent Sounds eerily like one of the chapters of Rachel Carson's 1962 groundbreaking book Silent Spring (Chapter title was And no Birds Sing, I think). Although this time it's man-made climate change to blame, not man-made pesticides. Oddly enough, that book gets a mention in the next chapter of The Charmed Life of Danny Murphy, which I'm hoping to have ready to upload to GA in the next day or two.
  17. You must measure cholesterol in different units your side of the pond. My level is 4.3 over here. If I lowered it by 20, I'd be dead! 4.9 is the upper 'safe' limit, but the doc reckons I should be under 4, just because I'm type 2 diabetic... But, yes, garlic is one of nature's Superfoods.
  18. It's just a pity my doctor doesn't have the same sense of humour. Instead of constantly berating me about the danger of cheese to my cholesterol level (which is well within acceptable limits, anyway)
  19. Hi @Valkyrie And don't you be laughing at my cheese addiction!
  20. Doesn't sound as hot as I thought it might be. I hear France was over 40°C/104°F last week. As was Frankfurt in Germany, where I'll be in a few week's time. Just hope it's cooled down a bit by then...
  21. Yup. All good here, thanks. How's the weather with you at the moment? The mad temperatures finally going away? Currently around 2pm here, 15°C/59°F, cloudy but dry.
  22. Albert! How the divil are ye?
