Last night I used a bad word that was worth 10 more points than the highest scoring non-bad word. Should I have sacrificed the points & taken the moral high ground? What would you do?

Daughter getting married next year. I sing (and play guitar a bit), her dad (my ex) plays guitar a bit and sings a bit, her future father-in-law plays guitar and sings a bit. We think we might get together and rehearse a song (in secret) to sing to the happy couple at their reception. Good idea? What song?

I hate those MFI ads where they have families shouting at each other in the store like they're in EastEnders. How is that supposed to make people want an MFI kitchen? The LearnDirect ads which surround the Jeremy Kyle Show, are oddly attractive though. Anyone else have an advert they love or hate?

Youtube help please
4 Aug 2008

I'been trying to listen to music on youtube but every 3 or 4 seconds it pauses whilst it buffers. Why does it keep doing this? Is there something I can do to rectify it? It doesn't happen all the time but when it does it annoys the heck out of me. Is there a techie out there that can help me please?

I just had someone tell me he collects tapes of comedians. I guess there are many many different things that people collect. I can think of stamps and coins (of course) and in the US, baseball cards are big and antique books and certain automobiles. But that would need a lot of space. There must be some really odd collections that I dont know about. Over to you...

Growing Your Own
4 Aug 2008

For those of us attempting to grow our own food. Discuss your successes and failures here. Our outdoor grown tommies are ripe and ready to eat, so exciting! They're definitely better pot-bound than in a growbag - as long as you feed them every 10 days.

I've got some lamb loin steaks, how should I cook them? Thanks in advance.

We have one living behind each wing mirror on both of our cars! And, yes - I've seen them repairing their webs at 60mph, too.

We did, last Tuesday. What about you?

Where do you like to go if you're lucky enough to have the time and money to go long haul? Our favourite has to be the Maldives. We've only been once, but would love to go again before they sink into the Indian Ocean! What about you?
