Didn't Sam require anything like that a few years back then?

Actually, it was more of a boys dilemma, even though they had girls in the adverts.

Heard that Bletchley Park museum might be closed? Might have just been a rumor, that would be a real shame.

^ you do seem to be fixated with this 'Sam' person - If I ever have another daughter I will name her Sam in your honour

No, I heard that too. They're trying to raise money to keep it open, I gather. I'm kind of local to that area, so I saw it on my local news.

I keep forgetting you read the BBC News website. You should try and read The Guardian as much as possible too, if you want to be a true Brit.

Or maybe The Sun, The Mirror and The Daily Sport if you want titties and Celeb gossip.

Colossus produced so much heat that the WRNS were reduced to working in their underwear... now that's something worth re-creating and preserving...

Sam Beckinsale?

I recently saw Kate Beckinsale in Emma and I thought she was actually pretty good. I was shocked because the only other times I've seen her are in the most dreadful films, like Van Helsing. Dead

Anyway - how's this for a prog Sunday this weekend? Vicky and I are joining a bunch of friends to go "punting on the Cam" (jolly fun, they say) and have a picnic on "Grantchester Meadows".

How prog is that?

Dr Spooner just spat tea all over the table.

Jim has some Corrs Light in the fridge, especially brewed for Canadians. Wink

Is that a less raunchy version of a certain Irish family band? or did you mean Coors?
