Sorry, Socks. I've hunted for the seadog biscuits but could only find boudoir biscuits and they were marked ' Trifle with these at your peril!' So you will have to have some sherry trifle to go with them, I expect. Will a large bowl of trifle and boudoir biscuits be OK?
Bit late for tea .....how about a glass of Moscato d'Asti?

I'd really like a fruity french tart if there are any left, Priscilla.

Some of you may know that I am interested in aviation (I have many anoraks!), on the next week or two there should be an attempt to fly round the world non stop in a jet powered aircraft. The plane will be flown by Steve Fossett and it was designed by the aviation genius Burt Rutan. This bid is being sponsored by Virgin and Richard Branson is the reserve pilot although I am pretty sure he wont fly the plane even if Fossett cant.
Rutan's company Scaled Composites is at the forefront of aviation and for a small company it has done some fantastic things, including designing the Voyager aircraft that was the first (prop driven) plane to fly non stop round the world, he also designed the Spaceship one rocket plane system which recently won the X-Prize for being the first private manned spacecraft to fly into space.
These things may not seem to relevant to our daily lives but I believe they show us the way ahead and will one day help make all our lives better. Anyway whether they do or not the Global Flyer program will be fascinating.
here is a link showing what the aircraft looks like :-

not good mate - not good at all
if poll gives the penalty in the first half might have been different but ultimately were just not good enough at the back

Despite the penalty we should have had a fair result - time for us to focus on the champions league - a centre half pairing of hoyte and cygan should have the top sides petrified lol.
Had several beers so far tonite - time to find something stronger - i hate living in manchester sometimes

I have read all the above posts, and have to concede that you guys all seem a bit deranged to me (sorry if I'm blowing your cover). But on second thoughts, I suppose it is a DUTCH coffee house!!
In which case I'm sure you won't mind if roll up this big spliff an' chill a little! Who knows, I might even suss out where Spaceman is coming from!!
