Hi Opto, sherry trifle in good supply.
amberjane
My sherry trifle is always spiked with something. The only ingredient that you can't guarantee will be in it is sherry. Brandy, whisky, vodka you name it, could be in it. Had you never wondered why people who partook of it swayed around a bit more than normal. It's not the earth shaking, it's the sherry trifle!

Amberjane, by the sound of your situation you don't need a double anything, just some friendship for yourself right now and professional guidance for the future of your family. I do hope that things make a turn for the better soon but with drugs being the problem it generally is not short term, you will have to be very strong.

Socs, can you make that 3 servings as dont have time to cook now. Even neglected my shares this afternoon but see I am up 200 quid. Perhaps I should leave them on their own more often!
and it wasnt the swaying I was worried about, it was the den of iniquity that arrived below ground today, must have been all that talk of Ann Summers, what on earth would Auntie think of the T Rooms, changed a bit since her day. :>)

Good luck with the children Amber, you'll get through!
Gausie, AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch farmers have devised a hot and spicy way to stop rabbits and rodents munching their lettuce, carrots and wheat.
Spraying fields with the American sauce Tabasco sends the rabbits "three feet in the air" with shock and running for cover, said a spokesman for a local agriculture cooperative.
The Dutch animal protection society is happy with the spicy repellent, unworried by the possibility of burnt bunny mouths.
"Preventive measures are exactly what we want. It's better than going into the fields with a shotgun," said animal welfare spokesman Niels Doorlandt on Thursday.
The farmers will now try to make Tabasco an officially recognised pesticide for subsidised use on a larger scale. At least five small supermarket-sized bottles of the spicy sauce are needed for spraying 1 hectare (2.5 acres) of crops.
Although rain washes the Tabasco off, the crops are only sprayed in the first phases of growth to spare the taste buds of human consumers.
Please don't try this on our Bun :o)
Night all, have a good weekend!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Albinus: will only run if the ground remains predominantly good, states trainer
Betting Forecast: 2/1 Rule Of Law, 3/1 Quiff, 5/1 Let The Lion Roar, 6/1 Tycoon, 7/1 Maraahel, 16/1 Frank Sonata, Go For Gold, 25/1 Mikado, 33/1 Albinus, 100/1 Darsalam,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: With question marks over a number of these, including the ante-post favourite Rule Of Law, it is quite possible that an upset could be on the cards and GO FOR GOLD (nap) can be the one to provide it. The step up in trip will be ideal for this lightly raced half-brother to the 2001 hero Milan and he can salvage something from a miserable season for Ballydoyle and provide Aidan O'Brien with his third success in this race in the last four years.[
