He certainly had it coming to him but I’m sorry that he won’t be appearing anymore because I quite fancied him, ha!

And I’m really not being sarcastic here. As you know, I’m totally not interested in feeding for pleasure but I don’t disparage gormandizers in the least, for example.

What I do find really interesting is that whilst on the TV medium bad taste, lack of glamour and yelling and bitching is highly attractive, in the glossy magazines the opposite seems to hold true, with ‘glamorous’ people, places and clothes splashed all over their pages. (I add the rider that I rarely read glossy magazines of any sort, and that I’m aware that ‘glamorous’ people like in Desperate Housewives also appear attractive, mainly to women).

Why?

Straight . . . but clearly very much in touch with his feminine side.

I’m willing to bet that a survey based on giving people a choice of what they’d want to watch would have “Eastenders” way down on the blokes’ list and probably second to “Becky” on the women’s.

When we want to watch something downloaded from the internet, we use the Sumvision Pheonix. We copy the clip on to the USB and we watch it on our TV. This has become kind of a weekly tradition for us. Oh, and if you do get it ask for an HDMI cable, because it really does make a difference quality-wise. http://www.scanmalta.com/eshop/catalogsearch/result/?q=Sumvision+Phoenix+1080p

Burn to a DVD? PC and USB pen drive and DVD player …. takes about 3 minutes.

They all work in the family business.
They all live together.
They all defer to the mother.
