I'm a Swede living in Sweden but we do get to see a lot of your British drama series and shows, Parkinson being one of the popular ones over here as well. I was just wondering, how is he and has he been up to anything interesting after the final Parkinson show?

[woofgang]

yes we watched Gene...Did you see the article in the Mail about the labour and Con ads? I think that the Gene Genie is gorgeous but would KILL for his snakeskin boots. We also vid'd the new Jonathan Creek and the first half of the last Frost so loads of goodies stored up

lol, that's me all right, neti, the crowned teeth of Europe. Jude, if it's causing you pain or affecting your eating or your smile, fix it; otherwise, I'm not sure I would bother.

[netibiza]

You've all got crowns, and I have a paper hat. I want to get my teeth cleaned but am staying away from drills etc.

Frost was very good .I'm wondering how Jack will bow out tonight .To be fair he's getting a bit old now to play a copper but it's done well though to run for all those years on the back of six books .
Yes Woofy I have to admit a shiver ran up my spine as the camera honed in on the snakeskin boots :)
I've just looked at that article on line .Cameron looks like a spiv:)

[Jude123]

One of my friends thinks he's going to 'pop his clogs' but I think that wouldn't be quite right.

[swedeheart]

Could be worse jno. I'm either sat at home dining with my teeth or sat at home listening to my head crumble;-)

Here's a multiple choice game for the biddies; what kind of precipitation has Stockholm had today do you think: 1) rain 2) locusts 3) MORE EFFIN' SNOW ??

Oh Woofy you've lived in New Jersey! As in just outside New York? *That* New Jersey? Did you spend a lot of time in New York? Did you like it, did you dislike it? And another thing, did you see the documentary on Leonard Cohen, I'm Your Man? Our national television aired it just the other day, it was great. You must get it if you haven't already. Here's a teaser featuring Rufus Wainwright. That boy took some getting used to for me (several years in fact...) but I like him now - and this is fantastic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4rQ03pl2Og

Swedie, I'll go for the locusts!!

[netibiza]

Morning all, rather overcast and chilly here at mo. Still struggling with removing nasty cat smell from bedding as I have found some Pet Odour remover, so am trying it first..

[Robinia]

<punching the air saying Halleujah!!!>....hahaha, as if?....that made me laugh neti

Morning folks, here I is. Had a bad headache all weekend (so thanks a bunch for the spinning screen...not once but twice!) and yesterday evening I couldn't get on the tinter...too much chocolate clogging up the lines I 'spect. Have you eaten all your eggs then? ha! I haven't eaten mine yet, it's a nice big Guylian one.

Good to 'hear' you sounding brighter Kit, how ever much of the white stuff you had - there was a CLUE there wasn't there? - it looks like it's all gone again. Nevertheless, be careful, if you're like me you can trip over your own shadow..... hmmm, not sure if I actually cast one...?

I really enjoyed Frost but the continuity on Christine's hair was hilarious - unless much time was supposed to have passed but I don't think that was the case. I'll have a look at the alternative ending later....so please don't tell me if you've seen it. Yes shaney, I'm looking forward to Foyle! And new Ladies of Letters (on ITV3 soon)

Heck jno if your life's boring then I'm the living dead or sommink...I don't really think of it as such, for the past few years all there's been is humdrum or bad stuff to deal with...I'll settle for humdrum, it gives me a chance to put a few pounds back on.

[netibiza]

You may all trip over my shadow if you so wish, it's bound to be big enough for all!!

Just tried on 4 D&G fragrances and now I've got a headache!!

No Kit, we never went into New York while we were there. We had visited on previous times in the US and neither of us are city folk, also it was very difficult travelling far as we had the dog with us and he wasn't a city type either. Actually we lived in a very rural part of New Jersey. Most of it is, its known as the Garden State. In thw 1920's, NJ was the countryside that rich New Yorkers went and stayed in for the summer.The road backed on to a nature reserve called The Great Swamp...we didn't know when we rented it but about two thirds of the land attached to the house actally was swamp...bullfrogs, turtles and all.
If you go to Google earth and put in Pleasantville Road, New Jersey, you can see it but it looks like the house we lived in has gone, we were at 144. Most of the houses there then were very posh, the one we lived in wasn't so its not surprising that it has been demolished.

[netibiza]

Just googled it, woofy, wow, it's now called Pleasantville, NY. hard as i googled i could not find 144. Lovely area, all woody, but frogs etc, yuk!!

[Robinia]

I'm not a big city person really but as I get older I like the idea more...usually it's t'other way round...and I do have a sort of desire to see New York. Maybe I've watched too many American tv programmes.

<sniffs>...yep, there's an improvment on cat wee.....just... ;o)

No matter how many new ones I try I just keep going back to the old favourites...Chanel No 5, Guerlain Shalimar (or Samasara which isn't quite as old)

[netibiza]

I used to live in North and then South London and didn't mind the tubes etc but am terrified of them now. I get very confused and dizzy in big cities now and look like a country bumpkin compared to city dwellers- me! who in the 60's wore two pairs of false eyelashes at a time and wuldn't get out of bed unless suited and booted in the latest fashions. Even wore full make up and best clothes to clean the house, boy how things have changed!! Used to love Mary Quant's Ginger Group , and the Dollyrocker collections!

[netibiza]

At the moment I wear Burberry for men, or Fahrenheit for men, they seem to suit my skin otherwise I smell like rubber tyres, but, and you'll really think I'm loopy, my favourite everyday one is Té Verde Perfume de ambiente (and I'm not translating that, it's embarrassing) but I get lots of compliments and people asking me what perfume I wear!!!!

[Robinia]

hmmmm, sommat about a green atmosphere? hahaha...and since when have you liked the smell of mown grass neti? Can you smell mine? it's been done for the first time this year by one's gardener, lovely.

♫...it's the easy, peasy way to get the lawn of your dreams...♫

[woofgang]

ha ha neti wears air freshener !!!!!

[netibiza]

♫ Cheer up sleepy jean ♫. Well done Robi, yes it Green
tea room freshener, but it's not aerosol or anything domestic looking, it's in an elegant glass spray bottle. love it! Love the smell of freshly mown grass and on returning to Casa Neti this am, the neighbour had a man in who was cutting the vegetation up my little camino (lane), and the smell was lovely.

[woofgang]

Current fave perfumes, Mimosa Pour Moi by Artisan Parfumeur, Un Jardin Apres la Mousson by Hermes, Inner Grace, Philosophy.
Dune and Tresor still please, also 4711 Eau de Cologne
My all time fave has to be Joy but its a bit in your face for every day wear
still love Rive Gauche ("C'est pas pour les femmes effacees")

[netibiza]

Wasn't Joy very expensive once? My bro from Canada used to buy it for me, but I used to sell it here and get 2 different ones. I hate Poison,Obsession and Roma, they give me such a headache!
