Hello?... hello...? hello...?

John - You have been reading my work - you were THAT bored !

*snuggles Eroo under her arm and feeds him chocolate drops*

Pi i never read anything that dose'nt hold my attention. I haven't the time. I've been reading quite a few works on hear, most recently ' Another day in Memphis', by missi. There is much inspiring stuff on ABC, thats one of the things i like about being part of a like minded community. You learn and improve by seeing how others have aproched different genres and styles. *Goes of to look for Brown Teddy*

I wish they put the front page back up - my addiction to reading needs to be fed *hides John's Brown Teddy where he can't find it*

Thats my problem to PI. If I'm not reading for research purpose's, then I'm reading for work purpose's. It never ends. So to get any opportunity to read creative works is a blessing. Sends eroo to sniff out Brown Teddy.. Fetch eroo!

John dear boy, I hope you and Lesley aren't going to start excercising that bloody sandbox stuff over here!

Its not just a case of reading but the writing with me I'd love to get back into research but your right coming here to read after bombarding my head with Giddens, A Strauss & Corbin ect ect and getting my head around ethnomethodology to name a but a few things ............. arrrr bliss *puts Brown Teddy under her bed *

George we were bored they've taken the front page away again

*growls at big hairy scary man* grrrrrroooowff

Pi started it!

No I didn't - I have no control over Eroo *pushes Johns Brown Teddy further under her bed *

Have you all been evicted from the sandbox on Awful?

Throws treacle pudding at Pi and hopes it doesn't hit missi instead..

*looks at George and offers him a lolly pop - whilst she sits calmly sucking her own *

Can you chuck a treacle pudding my way please, John? I've got some custard in a pan ready. I love treacle pudding.

oh I have it on good authority that George likes his Treacle Puddings

How about Jamaican cake and custard Jeff? Pi ate all the treacle pudd..

Matt sorry couldn't get to Derby was a bit busy - flat hunting and so on

Did you catch one Pi?

Oh no not again I fall that everytime - nope not yet - lol

Returns with large bowl of piping hot custard covering large slices of Jamaican cake.. hmmmm... yum yum..

*Eating a bowl of Special K...........looks on very jealously at John's bowl*

I pref are the original flash, but I'm toled that the treacle variety and pipping hot custard is very Nice indeed. *Counts how long it take Jeff to shoot to the garage to bey jamaican cake*

*eating an apple * you know we're going to get into trouble don't you ? *wonders if George will offer to "smack her arse"*

*thinks about ordering a pizza*

Pizza with pepper..... and extra cheese ... mushrooms and oinions

Look let's not mix sweet and savoury. Stick with the cakes. Mmm... cakes. In order: 1. Chocolate 2. Victoria Sandwich (the only cake to have its own name) 3. Treacle Pudding 4. Battenburg (the only cake to have right angles) 5. Ginger Cake (the only cake to be ginger) 6. All other cakes most welcome 7. I accept cakes by PayPal 8. Cakes.... mmm.... Pi next time you in Derby let me know!!

Oakcakes serves with bacon and cheese

Cheesecake!! (replaces Treacle Pudding at no.3)

oakcakes wrapped around sauages and onions

Oakcakes?? They sound hard - do you mean oatcakes? We've got "Welsh Cakes" on special offer at Tesco; they're like flat currant scones with sugar on top and a hint of nutmeg. Nobody in our family will eat them apart from me.

Hog brains and scrambled eggs. A little sorgum on the side.

i love welsh cakes, neil....don't see them too often down here in london but when we have stayed in wales (well they would have loads of them there) and shropshire....we've had them everyday at about 4, with a nice cuppa....

dear jeff we have noted your paucity of cake knowledge ... shameful in a writer ... best wishes fishberts x x x

I know what I like, Fishberts - especially that apricot swiss roll at Marks and Sparks. Perfect! I'm going to write a worksheet about cakes now. Shall I email it to you?

*Horrified* Welsh cakes are easy to make you don't need to go to a shop and buy them oh dear your right Neil oak/oat lololol - well there are a lot of trees in Wales you know

me, make cakes? *horrified*

The difference between Welsh cakes and scones - Scones are baked in the oven Welsh cakes are cooked on a griddle on top of the stove

What's the fastest cake in the world? 'Scone. Sorry.

yes please i would love a worksheet about cakes ... also could you do one about robbing banks? cheers x x x

Oh go on Martin think of the fun - playing with flour and mixed fruit and the none essential additives such as wine, whiskey and the odd tipple of brandy which somehow never makes it into what your cooking but miraculously disappears anyway and you get to lick the bowl too mind you I recently had the offer of a Naked dish washer ... wearing nothing but a pinny he said *blushing and going all hot thinking about it * I'll have to do loads of baking and cooking to make sure I have plenty of dirty dishes for him to wash ....

What was on the front of the pinny?

Now look here John - you should know by now the way my dyslexic mind works Asking me what was on the front of the pinny in deed - its just not on when I was more interested in ... having nice clean plates, pots and pans

Yes pi, i do know how your dyslexic mind works and if anything, there is no way your imagination would be limited to cleaning the plates.. now come on pi, what was on the front of that pinny and what other 'kitchen utensils', where involved? Tell all..

An after thought. You need to be very careful when using wooden spoons pi... They can splinter.. very un reliable..

I said he offered I didn't say he had washed my dishes YET now stop putting ideas into my head *smiles wickedly* Those big metal spoons can get very cold if you leave them in the freezer long enough

Ha.. I see! Make him beg first? gotch ya..

no no no - it was said in jest - don't think he meant it but I'm going to provoke him about it all the same Well he should be more careful about making such offers shouldn't he? I'm going to get into so much trouble over this ...

Yes pi, i realizes that, but he is a vicar for goodness sakes.. *smiles equally wickedly*

*falls off her chair laughing* Vicar !!! *finding it really hard to type * omg - I need a very strong drink now no no not the vicar - that was ages and ages ago and it was an accident and a total different thing all together *blushes as she recalls her latest embarressing incident with a Building Soicety representative during an presentation during a jobs promotion evening *
