Well done, Alan! I've been pushing the 'take a kid fishing' thing for years! It teaches them so much -and they have fun at the same time. I've been in trub this week because I encouraged the young son of a friend to badger his father into taking him and now both he and his dad are obsessed! His mum reckons it's all my fault. Joyce has read my books, because she thought they might help her to cope, but now she knows what could be in store for her, she's on serious chocolate therapy. :-) Sounds like you had a brilliant time - and there'll be more to come in the future. Shame you're so far away, or I'd join in! :-) x

Hi Chevin, Nice to see that there are trad jazz fans around. Without exception, my friends and acquaintances consider trad to be the domain of old fogies and for those with little musical knowledge or appreciation. Maybe I should enlarge my circle of friends. Anyway, thanks to you and Sandpiper, I have come out! And I'm going to see Kenny Ball, Acker Bilk and Humphrey Lyttleton on 5th Feb 2008 - on my own because I can't persuade anyone else to come with me. Cant' wait! Bring back stompin' ! Rosie

I cannot imagine why Elton has mentioned my name on a thread about J cup bras since my own bra size is far from the gargantuan proportions of the models - and he knows me quite well. Not THAT well, obviously, that'd be like incest, but he'd have noticed had I been particularly well endowed in the bosom department - and remarked upon it, trust me, over and over again! And yes, I did look - if only to ascertain whether the models had been enhanced with silicone or not. As Toerag rightly pointed out, boys - and possibly girls - Size J cups are usually supported by size J bums, bellies and thighs and quite often chins. Just a friendly warning if you're going out on the pull at the weekend. If you're looking for size J boobs and a slim everywhere else woman, you're probably in for a disappointing evening. What's wrong with 38B, anyway? Why are most men so obsessed with huge breasts when, after a few pints, they're incapable of gripping an onion bhaji/curry house menu, let alone anything else? And how does Chesters1 know about the labrador ears syndrome? Ask yourselves that! :-)

What did I just say?! Do you want to be crossed off the 'One of my boys' list? :-)

Stop it. Otherwise I'll tell some of the stuff you don't want anyone to know. :-) Love and hugs. xx I've got the taste for it now. I'm going to be posting all over the place. :-)

Thanks everyone, for permission to replicate and also for your support. All the info has been sent to my youngest son and he reckons he'll have a sample cover ready for me at the weekend. I'm all excited now! How sad am I? Cheers! Rosie

Hello Everybody! Elton has pointed me towards this thread and I've just read all the nice things you've said about 'Off the Hook.' I've always been surprised - but pleased - that people like to read my stuff. Anyway, coupla things while I'm here. Firstly, in response to Alan's sister's request for a 'signed' copy, I had an idea about shoving the book onto a DVD, designing a box cover and signing that for Marian. My son, Simon, is willing to produce covers for me and I should be able to have it sorted in a week or two. I'm begging permission from some of you - particularly Janet, Cranfield, John S and Norrie to reproduce a few of their quotes to put on the back of the cover. Can you all let me know, please, if that'll be OK? Thanks again for the kind words. I'm so chuffed that you liked it. All the best, Rosie

I haven't posted on a forum for several years and although I read this one fairly often I rarely have anything worth contributing. This time, though, I just have to say thank you for this link. I laughed out loud for almost the entire three minutes that it played - even though the lyric was a little too close to home for comfort. Blindin' Well done, Newt for sharing it.

'They are not dead who live in hearts they leave behind....' Hugh Robert Orr Read the rest of it, guys 'They Softly Walk' RIP Alan. Rosie

Ah, so you haven't met Rosie yet? Oops, pressed wrong knob. That's not like me at all. Give us a break, Murphling. I need all the help I can get, looks like. Had to phone the dog groomer for my employer to book 'em in. Left a message - with my name - for a call back. They called back several hours later and tried to make an appointment for 3 dogs. 'No,' I said. 'There's only 2.' 'Oh, sorry,' said the bloke. 'Is Rosie not a dog, then?' I told him that it had been said. He laughed and offered me a free hair-cut!! So....if, next time you see me, I resemble a poodle, you'll know why.

Ah, so you haven't met Rosie yet?

Sorry about this foks, Prob'ly terrible etiquette doing this kind of thing but, hey, just delete if I've committed a social gaffe. Murphling, I've been trying to send you an email, using your usual address, but my pooter reckons you don't exist. Always wondered if you were a figment of my imagination. Was going to text you but seeing that I was having look on here to see what was going on anyway, thought I'd do it this way. So.... if you can send me a neemail, I will be able to reply to your email and then you'll get my email. Or not. Otherwise I'll call you tomorrow. If you're still in the country, that is. Bet you've nobbed off somewhere hot. R
