The best fish & chips I ever had was in a chip shop in Yarmouth. They had tables so we decided to eat it there instead of take away. It came on a large oval plate and the piece of cod overhung the plate at both ends! It was enormous. If I went to my local chippy now and asked for a large cod it would be about half the size. It was beautifully fresh too, what with Yarmouth being so close to the fishing port of Lowestoft. I'll bet it was caught the same day. Ahhhh.... memories...

Going to get myself another and settle down to listen to Sheffield Utd v Arsenal.

Whatever we end up doing, at least the Spuds have lost.

We needed that result! Injuries though... I hope Lacazette doesn't pick up one because if he did that would be all our brightest players crocked. Smith Rowe, Saka, Martinelli, Odegaard and Tierney (who won't play again this season according to Sky Sports ). Luiz is also injured and Auba has the flu. No mention in the media of an 'injury crisis' though because we aren't Liverpool or Man Utd.

We have three...horses not automobiles . They have a few demands that vehicles don't have

Things were properly timed back then. 15 minutes to harness and set the horse in shafts, about ten minutes out of every hour to rest the horse and feed him and water him, good for a bit less than eight hours work, then home to the stable.

They (furbies) were actually banned from the Pentagon in the late 90s as it was feared they may record then repeat classified information

And the NSA and the Norfolk Shipyards. Funny stuff.

Lol. My last sadly departed Siamese had a fascination with water and regularly lifted a variety of objects from around the house and put them in the dog's water bowl! The current Siamese doesn't bother. Her thing is opening drawers and pulling stuff out. They are full of character!

My sister had two, and they would wrestle. Much to the amusement of the dogs.

I almost took her sister as well when I bought the current one. Not sure I could have coped with double the trouble!

Other way round for me, mine not keen but I've found some of them pretty funny...the French penpal* episode especially, which is definitely aimed equally at parents

(she's keen to learn English so Peppa and her friends choose a song to help her that contains only the words 'bing bong bingly bongly boo' 😂)
