Yup,that's the right one and by his own admission he knows nothing about gardening. If you read the thread James Martin Digs Deep you'll know what's going on. The man needs help.

Well done Tigger. I know how you feel. The wonderful feeling of floating about, all warm and happy inside. After the U2 gig I phoned a good friend of mine and didn't shut up talking for 20 mins. He then politly informed me "Liz, it's 1.00am sod off and call me back tomorrow, i'm trying to sleep!!!" I was just overexcited, and that's worse than an overexcited Tigger. 
I'll help JM with his seed planting and potting on, not much good for anything else at the mo. I admire a man who can say "I know b*gger all about this, can you help?" A very pleasent change
Now, Bono and the boys know nothing about gardening and have a couple of villas over in the South of France. Do you reckon I could get away with offering my services?

Sigh......James touched me......even bigger sigh....
Well, I've survived the endless e-mails and phone calls about my photo in the Express and Star (as per who's that daft smiling person with the adoring grimace) and I've spent my entire day carrying around said copy of Newspaper including picture, stroking it at regular intervals.....
I've contacted the journalist and he'll send me a form to complete which commits the contents of my bank account to said paper, then they'll send me black and white proofs from which to select chosen embarrassing shots which will eventually arrive via post to my house, then I'll have to work out how to scan them in to my computer, send them by e-mail to Chantal to put on the Forum and - Hey Presto - evidence!
That's at least a week's reprieve then.

We saw him in the Food for Friends theatre today at 10.30 and he was cracking, a very dry humour and three very easy superb recipes to cook plus a great demonstration on sugar work. He didnt make me like a cook fruit cake like he did you Tigger. (Moist before anybody asks).
Glad you had a good time Piglets. I don't know what you thought, but I wasn't as inpressed by the Show this year. None of the big players were there, which I don't mind if their shoes are filled by lots of small producers, but they were hardly there either.
Came away without spending too much, which is always a bad sign.
I can feel a letter coming on...........
Going to see 'Grumpy Old Women' at the Alexander Theatre in B'ham tomorrow, so perhaps I'm just getting into the mood.

Hey Tigger
Let me know what the Grumpy Old Women show was like please. It's coming to Liverpool and I might treat the Grock and myself to an evening out without husbands/kids in tow.
I'm a fan of the tv show and wouldn't mind seeing them live.

OK Lizzie - There's 36 of us going together from work (as in women of a certain age) so we should know! I booked because of a certain entertainer (ex Fascinating Aida) who (damn it) isn't on the B'ham circuit this time around, but was on the pre booking advertising. so I'm hoping to be won over.
God help them if it doesn't meet the mark. The letter's already in composition mode and the stamp's on the envelope.
Grumpy? Me? Of course not!

You don't have to be either Jopsy.
I've decided that i'm going to grow old as disgracefully as possible (without getting arrested)I don't think about it as being a grump. It's just that I don't see why I should put up with things that I don't want to put up with.
If i'm not getting the service in a shop as a customer, I leave saying that as they don't value my money, i'll take it somewhere that will treat me, the customer, with respect. I just think that the business's and big companies have had it their own way for far too long and now is the time to fight back.
I was in Asda the other day and the woman in front of me had an overflowing trolley with all her Christmas food in. She spent £300 alone, on food. She volunteered that there was 4 of them. I said I thought it was just greedy and no-one can possible get through that much food over a one week period. She said that she HAD to have all this stuff. I asked why and she couldn't answer me. It was pure, unadulterated greedy consumerism perpetuated by media advertising and the strange need of "keeping up with the neighbours".
Now, i've got 10 for Christmas Day lunch and, in all over the festive period, about 20 odd visitors and i'll not spend that amount of cash. The amount I spend includes my sons birthday party on New Years Day.
I'm not being a grump, i'm just not being lured in to all the sh*t fed to us consumers by the media.

Dear Lizzie, you can be such a hard woman somtimes, but we wouldn't want you any other way. 
Better tell your guests to bring their own sandwhiches just incase.

Warning
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
I'm going to join the Purple Hat Brigade when I'm 'of a certain age'. There are actually groups of older women in the States who go around together on trips dressed in purple. You go girls!!

Welcome to Finland!!
Lizzie - if you want to get your own back on inconsiderate drivers - try my trick. When someone is trying to push in and being a pain about it, stop and make a big show of waving them in. Really does mess with their head
