Good afternoon all. I'm all excited. It looks I'll be getting my new car next Friday :)

Now to find out exactly how much the insurance will cost me on this bigger beastie... at least I'll only have one of my offspring on the policy this time which should help.


i can send you a paint and fabric sealent if you want, the dealership charges around £300 for it... you can get it free :D

Goodness.
I was expecting a Georgina, to be honest, but Georgetta is close enough.
I know I joke about it, but this must have been enormously confusing.

I feel somewhat sorry for the kids. Dad's ego was so big he was not interested in seeing them as separate and unique individuals: just reflections of him. :( But that's just the therapist in me talking! ;)
I'm sure the family HAD to have nicknames for each of them.

I'm suddenly very grateful that my father was not THAT egotistical: I would NOT have liked to be named Bert! :p Not even "Beatrice Bertram!" (shudders!!!) :p

They must have.
Even the middle names are the same for goodness sake. :rolleyes:

Ha de ha.!
My dad was Harry (not Harold, just Harry), which I wouldn't have minded too much, but i prefer Adam, of course.
His middle name was Wilkinson, no thanks!

I have a piece of beef brisket slow cooking in the oven. It's delicious, but needs at least 4 hours and that's 4 hours plus of nice smells tempting you to snack on other stuff!

It's simple and yummy to do -
Chop an onion and put it in a casserole
(Optional add a couple of crushed garlic cloves)
Put the brisket joint on top
Tip in a can of chopped tomatoes 400g (14oz?) and 3-4 tablespoons of tomato puree (about one third of a tube ;) )
Add water so it comes just over half way up the meat.
Put a sheet of foil on top of the casserole before you put on the lid then scrunch the foil so the edges are sealed as much as possible
Pop it in a medium-low oven -150C (300F) fan 170C (340F) and leave it for 4-6 hours ish. I guess you could do it in a slow cooker too.

It is almost nicer served cold than hot though we don't often have leftovers :D

Tonight I watched, "The Secret Lives of Pets". Lots of fun. I've no kids here, just us adults, and we all enjoyed it. Rent it, get a bottle, and enjoy. You choose which to enjoy. LOL.
Daughter and I went to the cinema to see it last year. It was a good giggle :D
