Way back many years ago I was born in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne here in the UK whilst my folks were on holiday from Scotland visting my mums family (my dad never forgave me for being born on the wrong side of the Border). After thirty five wonderful years in SA/Rhodesia we returned to the UK, but I never ever thought of going to live in Newcastle (where many members of the family still live). As far as I am concerened Pietermaritzburg and Bulawayo are more my home towns and now that we have been in Doncaster for nearly 16 years it has become my home town. How many others do not 'relate' to the cities or towns they were born in?

Been listening to Cat Stevens and did not realise how many of his songs I like and remember!

For some strange reason on our main pc our internet explorer is not working. As soon as you click on the icon to launch IE it come up with

"Internet Explorer has encounted a problem and needs to close We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Initially we thought we had a virus ran both sophos and norten anti virus with no joy. Any idea's without have to reinstall windows etc.

I am sorry to say but you'll have to get a pop-up killer

If you do get one, make sure that it's one where you can allow certain pop-ups as otherwise you won't be able to join chat...

Thanks for this recipe, Icecub!!

I adapted it slightly (for more people - just quantities were changed) and topped it with some puff pastry! Instant beef and guiness pie!! The whole family loves it - thanks for the recipe!!
