How are the old mincers since the dentist visit.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Okay for now. Finish the antibiotics tomorrow so I can drink over Christmas. Not that I usually do of course. Butchery begins in the New Year.

Yeah, and Oliver Reed was tea total.

Just starting a weeks course of antibiotics myself. Fortunately they don't say no alcohol, not that would stop me. Cheers

Well it's here, so what cr*p pressies did we all get then. We haven't opened ours yet as we're waiting to go and pick up the dragon mother in-law first.

[Mervyn and Trish]

I just got the usual. The latest Aston Martin, a castle, a superyacht and a visit from the Queen

[Stephen]

Cheap scates

[Mervyn and Trish]

That's it then. All done for another year. Just the turkey curry to finish then it's time to get the deck chairs out and oil the mower.

Miserable day here with drizzle and grey cloud. So I'm happy

[Happydays]

I think I'll take the Christmas tree down tomorrow. Once Christmas day is past it gets on my nerves, I want the space back

[Stephen]

Just saw a neighbour down the road taking down her............outside lights. And I thought I was Bah Humbug

[Mervyn and Trish]

Anyone seen the first Easter Egg of Spring yet?

[Stephen]

TV viewing was rubbish over Christmas. The one year I fancied watching the Great Escape and they don't show it.

Did anyone watch the most expensive cruise ship last night. More money than sense some people.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Didn't appeal to us. Of course these shows are edited to be entertaining but seemed to be a lot of wealthy riff raff!

Didn't see you on there Merv.

I just happen to come across the series called 'The Planets' which to my surprise I've been finding fascinating.

I think a mobile greengrocer must have drowned in our local canal. Walking the dog a couple of days ago a cauliflower floated by. The day after that it was a lettuce. And today a couple of apples and an orange. Weird.

[Stephen]

Probably the local food bank getting rid of old stock.

[Mervyn and Trish]

I'ver collected it and posted it to you. Second Class. No point in wasting money. It was a bit whiffy anyway.

[Stephen]

We don't worry about sell by dates here. Providing it's not moving it's edible.

[Mervyn and Trish]

That especially applies to steak. People have been killed by moving steak. Toreadors mostly.

Think it might be time for a new DVD recorder.

After you have done your research do let me know which one is best value, is blue ray still a preferred option?

[Manoverboard]

Think it might be time for a new DVD recorder.

On that note may one advise, following your personal recommendation, that one's Panasonic DVD hard drive was ' wiped ' following a ' Factory Reset '.

[Stephen]

All sorted.

It was playing silly bu99ers. After doing three re-tunes all is working as it should.

Another few hundred pound saved

It shouldn't have done Moby. I've done a factory reset before now and everything was saved on the hard drive. If after several re-tunings this morning hadn't fixed the problem I would have gone for a reset without hesitation.

Like you I was sceptical about losing everything off the hard drive so saved it all to disc's, only to find out I needn't have bothered. Perhaps different Panansonic models vary in this.

Excellent. Just pop it in the post.
