LOL!!! Rowan Atkinson is such a gifted comedian! Although Hayley had her's after Jonathan, so she must have known what she was in for... But not necessarily what was in it!  I felt a bit squeamish reading what they had for dinner  but it was worth entering the thread for the Mr. Bean link!  Dave |

A bit about Sophie Raworth tvpresenters.thetvroomplus.com/category-1.html Sophie's career at the BBC began in 1992 when she joined the regional trainee scheme and went on to become a reporter at Greater Manchester Radio. In 1994 she moved to Brussels to become a Europe correspondent for the BBC regions. BBC Leeds beckoned in 1995 and Sophie became a reporter and presenter for 'Look North', where she remained until 1997, when she moved to London to anchor BBC TV's 'Breakfast News', 1997 - 2000, and 'Breakfast' from October 2000, alongside Jeremy Bowen. Relief BBC TV news reader in April 2002. In January 2003, Sophie became one of the main co-anchors on the 'Six O'Clock News'. From May 2006, having just returned from maternity leave, she took up the role of anchor of the 'One O'Clock News'. Sophie has also reported on 'Tomorrow's World' in the past.

Though to be honest, I'm really curious.. if I ever go to a restaurant (a reputable one, mind you) and it's on the menu, I might just give it a try. My grandfather was a butcher and he always maintained that a real butcher always tasted his mince and rissoles before selling to make sure they tasted good -- so he had no problem with eating raw beef. I would have cringed at the thought of eating it about a year ago...but I think I would be game to try it now too! If I see it at a nice restaurant I think I'll order it. I've conquered raw salmon. I've always wanted to try the Japanese dish with very rare steak, can't remember what it's called.. |

Did I get that right Joe?? Martin Thet sprung to my mind when I read it too. Lawnmowers and wardrobes, I have listened to Selling England by the pound regularly since it's release in the early seventies and only recently got the cd as my tape decks seem to be falling apart and consuming cassettes like spagetti . It really is a very entertaining and witty album. I stil enjoy it emensely .. wow ! 36 years old and still sounds as fresh as today's bread ! |

Did I get that right Joe?? Martin Spot-on, Martin! "I know what I like"  I once went for a pub lunch at a restaurant once and a friend tried a rissole. It was quite good, despite it's bad image from school dinners, canteens, etc. (I had a ploughman's). That Sophie Raworth's name sounds very familiar...I wonder if she's ever presented the news on BBC America. |

Yes, Joe, that's a great album. I those days they were everywhere. And I've waited 30 years to hear another equally great artist, and here she is, Hayley. She re-creates the excitement of those days.
But then, perhaps my favourite Genesis song is the one that starts
"Walking across the sitting room
I turn the televsion off"
all 23 minutes of it. Magnificent!
