Does anybody else watch this fantasy, children's game show, which is shown on CBBC in the afternoon, and on Sunday mornings? I'm hooked on this pagan-style show, starring James Mackenzie, as Raven. He has black...

Leedsrbest1973 Oh, Mummmmm! What are you like? He he. My girls like watching that - it's a kids programme. I suppose that's ok if you like it, because I watch it with the girls. It's a good programme and I think they should have more of that type of programme for the young...

It didn't for me, but it did for a lot of people in the UK, at around one o'clock on Wednesday morning, when the biggest earthquake since 1984, its epicentre near Market Rasen, in Lincolnshire, radiated throughout a large part of...

Leedsrbest1973 Like you I didn't feel a thing. I didn't know anything about it until half way through the next day. It looked pretty bad in Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire, but it must have missed us, I think. Thank goodness. I would have thought it was my neighbour playing...

Soon, I shall be going to bake a pie for my dinner. I have some Steak and Kidney in the fridge and have just put that on to cook with some onion, before making a short crust pastry and baking my pie. I haven't seen Steak and...

Leedsrbest1973 I like Chicken and Leek pies but your Steak and Kidney puddings used to be good. I miss those. I only get them if we buy the ready made ones in the shop and they're not the same. Yours were much tastier. I've just remembered a time when Tim and I were...

Leedsrbest1973 I think you did a double take on this one as well. I can remember lots of times with Daniel and Sarah when you've been unable to stand for laughing. I'll always remember the time we went to Minehead and were in the next chalet to us. You were lying on the bed...

I seem to be on a kids' trail today. I don't know why, but perhaps the distressing events of late. Anyway, this time, my mind goes back to when I childminded a little girl named Niamh (pronounced Neeve), from seven months old, to...

Leedsrbest1973 Um, I seem to have seen this story before somewhere. Do I need glasses or do you need a French lesson? lol. What an amusing little girl Niamh is. I only saw her once and she seemed quite the little grown up. I bet you had some good times minding that one. I...

Leedsrbest1973 That was the second of the school pantomimes that I've seen and they were both very good but Alice was slightly better. I thought the girl who played Alice was a great actress and very natural. Of course Lauren was one of he best dancers there. I have to say...

Leedsrbest1973 It's a standing joke with men because you women are always saying it. That's probably why Daniel took the mickey, but he was funny at times. This brings back fond memories of my son. Remember when he used to do the Izzy Wizzy Let's Get Bizzy routine? You used...

Have you noticed how sensitive the touch-screen jukeboxes are? We've just had a new one put into the local pub, and I went down for lunch on Sunday, with the kids. After our meal, we retired to the bar for a couple of drinks, and...

1 response

Leedsrbest1973 Yes that touch-screen was a pain to say the least. You only had to point at it from half an inch away and it turned the page. I like the really old ones better. You know what you're doing with them, and what you're playing. lol.

Fifteen days after my freak accident with my leg, I made it a whole day, without support. I was transported to my Son's house, at approximately 12.15 p.m. today, leaving there at approximately 8.15 p.m. I wore my sandals, in case...

Leedsrbest1973 I don't know why but Yahoo must be at fault allowing it. It must cause friction between friends when that happens. Have you thought of mentioning it to Yahoo? A friend is a friend in my book and there shouldn't be any secrets kept from any of them.

Traditionally, the egg is a symbol of new beginnings, and Ostara/Easter is a time for new beginnings and new growth, so it has become customary to give chocolate eggs at this time. This got me to thinking about my favourite...

Leedsrbest1973 I prefer milk chocolate, either with caramel or nuts in, so a Snickers Egg or a Caramel Egg would be my ideal one. You can get the small Caramel ones, as well as Rolo, Smarties and Cadbury's Cream Eggs. Of these small ones I like Caramel and Rolo ones best....
