When the site does 'go slow' I often see messages long the bottom of the screen. They flash by very quickly. They refer to other websites such as 'optimisedby', 'adserver', 'rubicon', 'doubleclick', and several other names like that. I think those may be other sites which are used to provide the ads, or to collect usage data. A lot of things go on which have little to do with the basic forum.
Normally, the screen comes up so quickly that you don't see those messages. But you do sometimes.
Sites running ok for me today, but I totally gave up last night.
Thanks Jean. She's playing on her laptop snuggled up with her blanket, looking very sorry for herself. She can still manage to demand food and drink though.
Geoff, maybe that's why the bus driver checked your pass! He was threatened by your boyish good looks, and was checking your age!
If you have a disintegrating batch of tatties it is preferable to microwave them with just a little water then they stay more intact, I find. Of course, you don't know this until you have tried to cook one lot!
The site has been a bit of a pain for me on and off for the last 24 hours. Sometimes my words of wisdom and witty rejoinders have not been posted - sorry everyone if you've been missing them ;- )
Oooh, Toad in the Hole, yum. Wild boar sausages, Geoff?

A date guide~~~~~~
Sell by -a legal thing that shops have to abide by
Best before-does what is says- but is more of a guide to taste- loads of things are ok after best before has expired
Use by-probably dodgy after that date or soon after-bread springs to mind but that blue fluffy stuff is a give away
Blind date -best avoided- full of disappointment
Dates-only eaten once a year,full of sugar and can and probably will remain unopened well into January-the stones are then planted but never grow
Evening each n all!
Geoff! You really need to keep your bugs to yourself!
Lot's of liquids consumed n I am beggining to come round!
Glad to hear you are on the mend Jean!
Becks - Hope Jess gets better soon! I hate seeing kid's poorly!
Geoff
I have just boiled some potaoes and after 10 minutes I had a pan of mush
they have just completely disintegrated.
Jean would I twitch
Doesn't that happen with some tatties?
Tonight we are having toad in the hole
Hi Dean

Thanks for that tip Flo, tatties are not cheap and I do not want to waste them.
