I like the new name - reminds me of bedtime.

Isn't there a saying that there is at least one book in all of us? Well I think I'm a bit too undisciplined to bring mine out at the moment but maybe sometime. Nolic

I used to write creatively ..... mainly in exams. Nolic

Its an oil tin for a loom. The oil was stored in the tin which hung on the side of the loom. The fine oil was applied with a feather to the bars where the ends of the picking sticks ran. Stanley knows what I mean eve=n if I don't know the names. Nolic

Right windy. Did all mine from June last year in about 3/4 hour. Lot easier than Excel. Thanks again for pointing me in this direction. Nolic

Wendy, many thanks. Its downloading now so I'll have a look at it.

I've looked at it, scrapped my excel spreadsheet and started using it. Very straightforward as you say. Nolic

Finishing the last of my teaching course submissions and trying to get to grips with spreadsheets for my accounts. Oh and watching Wales v Scotland this afternoon. Nolic

Real shame but her life, career and talent was on a downwards spiral. Last time I saw her live on TV she was atrocious. RIP Whitney. Nolic

Doc, they're avatars and not important. Don't beat yourself up. Nolic

Ian, only remember a few details from my dad. Allan was not a casualty of war as such but died of pneumonia shortly after volunteering and undertaking basic training. I have a feeling that he may have died before 1940. Thank you for your trouble. Nolic

Happy birthday moh, have a good one. Nolic

Ian, did you come across any mention of my uncle Allan who's name is on the memorial and who is buried at Gill? See below. Nolic

Talk about going off topic Comrade. You've zipped from Dickens to Bronte in the flash of an eye. The plaque you saw in Cowan Bridge commemorates Charlotte working in the school there. She based Lowood in Jane Eyre on the school. Nolic http://www.haworth-village.org.uk/brontes/cowan-bridge/cowan-brid...

I love Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, A Christmas Carol, and David Copperfield. I think my favourite is one which is not in the usual Dickens genre - A Tale of Two Cities, my detailed knowledge of which got me through O level English Lit. Nolic

The grit in the bin near my house is more sand that salt and is useless. Nolic

Hi rog, welcome back. I was certainly around Barlick in the 60's - still a very frequent visitor after we moved to Earby but I still do not recall a market on Brook Street. Sorry I don't remember Halstead's either. At the bottom left hand side facing Church Street was Wilkinsons/Harkers bakery and i...

Black beauty...... now there's a dark horse. Nolic

Beef bourginon with tagliatelle for us. Plenty of leftover in freezer for another meal. Nolic

Hey Doc, no worries. The one I have now was the original from when I joined and I "lost" it a couple of years ago. Thanks for resurrecting it. Nolic

This seems like a suitable topic in which to post this. I got a call yesterday from a very nice lady called Pauline from HM Revenue and Customs. She called to ensure that as a reasonably new self employed person I knew hope to complete my on line tax statement and all the allowances I could claim - ...

Seem to have shrugged off the worst symptoms again and managed to get through loads of work today - until my laptop gave up the ghost. I now have only a couple of more assignments then an assessed presentation for my life long teaching certificate and I got all my training presentations sorted out i...

Comrade, I was watching Corrie the other night and noticed a copy of Beevor's "Stalingrad" on Ken Barlow's bookshelf. Product placement? Nolic

Maz, now't wrong with being influenced by anyone's work-as long as we express it in our own way. Even direct copying is fine by me as long as you credit the original artist or photographer. Nolic

Like the guy who went back to the doctors and told him angrily " For all the good they did I might as well have shoved those suppository things up my a**e". Nolic

Very impressive Maz. The style is very similar to what David Hockney has been doing recently. Nolic

One of the biggest problems is that through the technology we have bullying can now go on 24/7 whereas in the past it tended to be in school or during playing out time. Now its there constantly. Nolic
