You can't buy class.

Due to having a few bananas that were going a bit mushy, I've made my first banana cake.

Taste.
Sensation.

suggest sticking walnuts in there next time - most complimentary flavours

Might just do that. I had half a mind to try some peanut butter as well.

The fact that I will be thousands of miles away while you lot have months of wall to wall Royal Wedding coverage in the media. Seriously in 2017 there are much more urgent issues at stake. I won't deny it will give the nation a feel good factor but please, the same media that built Di into a fairytale princess (which she was not) whilst looking at any angle to sensationalise will now spend the next few years doing it to her son. They wouldn't do it for the direct heir to the throne.

Genuinely happy Colchester fans are seeing an improved standard of football this evening.

Homegroup set up to stream Windows 10 back to the Wifi Display Adaptor through an old tablet that run Windows 8. ****ing Gates, if I ever see you around Milton Keynes..... :angry::angry::angry:

I have no idea what that means, but it doesn't sound like it's making you happy today.

Well, sort of, as I can still stream to my laptop to the telly, but have to go via a third party. Annoying.

Mrs RHB's mammogram results showing no evidence of cancer after referral by her GP.

That is good news. Having had a "call back" for one of these routine type scans, I can't emphasise enough the importance of going to have them. Luckily, mine was "something and nothing". Better always, safe than sorry.

She's currently helping her best mate through a mastectomy for the same thing so when her GP referred her for chest pain it was a bit scary. The letter with the good news sat in front of me for 4 hours whist she was out doing lunch with friends. I don't mind admitting I was bricking it for the whole 4 hours.

A nice bottle of Oakham Ales Citra.

Purchased a small compedium of Asterix books for MK Jnr for Christmas. Even if she doesn't like it, I'm happy :smile:

Loved those books and still have them all in the loft. Lost their spark a little when Goscinny passed away and the last few have been very forgettable but when they were good, the Asterix books were really great.

A lot of credit has to go to the English translators Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge too as so many of the puns that we get would have been their work.

Asterix The Legionary probably my all-time favourite.

It has been many many years since I read an Asterix. Looking forward to them coming in the post :smile:

That's a proper treat - like seeing an old friend for the first time in years. By Toutatis!

I remember when Southend Library (Vic avenue one) used to have a massive kids section downstairs and loads of bean bags under the stairs, I used to spend a good 2/3 hours of my Saturday lounging on them just reading through the Asterix books, along with Superfudge, Secret Seven and The Hardy Boys. Cheers for the nostalgia bump :thumbsup: Now I struggle to read even a chapter a night, before my eyes start to go.

Much to the annoyance of my mum, I think I only used to take out Asterix & Tin Tin books out of my local library. :smile:
