And that is one of the reasons I heart you, but actually having serious second thoughts about the fishnets now. I did what I always do and think about the outfit rather than how it'll actually look on me, and now I'm focusing on the fishnets it is a bad, bad idea. I have often seen Noel Fielding out and about, and I haven't seen him for ages and ages and now I really need to know where his lion costume was from
Have trawled my entire phone book and it seems that the only person I know who has a black waistcoat is my ex 
Typical. So I should have a black waistcoat on Friday night, then if it fits I'll just order a fedora and then I can just say I'm any bird out of Chicago, right?
Yep!
Is BBC iPlayer working for anyone?
Working for me.
And me. Handy really because I haven't got any other way of watching TV since the switchover.
Thanks.
I think I'm missing something because no streaming happens. Too late now, look at it tomorrow,
In the meanwhile . . . .
AWWWwww cute, just watched Panorama, so mines OK.
Someone tried to teach me to play pool last night. I cannot bridge at all, my fingers won't hold. Any tips?

Things I've learned from television
- During all police investigations, it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once.
- When they are alone, all foreigners prefer to speak English to each other.
- If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a parade - at any time of year.
- All beds have special L-shaped cover sheets which reach up to the armpit level on a woman but only to the waist level on the man lying beside her.
- The Chief of Police will almost always suspend his star detective - or give him 48 hours to finish the job.
- A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.
- All grocery bags contain at least one stick of French Bread.
- It's easy for anyone to land a plane providing there is someone to talk
you down.
- The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place - no one will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building undetected.
- Police departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned to a partner who is their polar opposite.
- The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.
- If you need to reload your gun, you will always have more ammunition, even if you haven't been carrying any before now.
- You are very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.
- Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language - a German accent will do.

- A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.
- When paying for a taxi, don't look at your wallet as you take out a bill just grab one at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.

- No-one ever involved in a car chase, hijacking, explosion, volcanic eruption or alien invasion will ever go into shock.
- Once applied, lipstick will never rub off - even while scuba diving.
- You can always find a chainsaw when you need one.
