Did you get married in the Dublin Registry Office? I hope you did it somewhere else because I really can't stick that place. It is like a cinema looking down on a meeting room

They make it like that to remind those dastardly atheists that they should be married in a church like all good and proper people!

I heard on the radio that one of the newly permitted Places of Marriage shares an office with a Mortuary.

As emigrants at the time, we were able to marry at the very attractive Kensington and Chelsea Registry Office, a building in the Victorian Gothic style, and repair from there with our witnesses and guests to a nearby hamburger restaurant.

C'est finis!

That is a fine bedroom johnfás. I can see some of your internet-published photography is also exhibited therein. Your desk-chair is quite similar-looking to the one upon which I am sitting at the moment.

Did you get it from Viking Direct?

I got it from them for around €25 but I almost regret it with the amount of junk I have got through the letter box from them since!!

There is a number on the catalogue that you can ring to tell them to stop.

Are you pleased with it johnfás? It looks very bright and spacious.

I got it with some peripheral devices at PC World last year, it's just the arm-rests which are different.

Also, on topic, I hate Oatibix. It's doubleplusungood.

Yes very pleased! It is far tidier than it usually is, which is a nice change, so I will strive to keep it that way!

Never tried Oatibix, always seems very wrong to me. I do have Weetabix most mornings though except when I have porridge.

It is wrong. It felt weird eating it. The milk didn't soak through and it looked odd when all soggy. The taste was bland and was difficult to digest. A huge disappointment and a vindication of my suspicion that the best way to enjoy oats was to soak them and cook them for a long while.

Thanks for the heads up, I now know never to try them.

You're welcome john, you'll be better off avoiding them. If you want something different from the folks at Milton Keynes, I'd recommend Weetabix Crunch. They're quite good.

What makes them crunchy, sugar a la frosted shreddies?

My breakfast diet tends to be Weetabix, Porridge, Muesli or Raisin Wheats. I have a bit of a penchant for raisins we have a strong family association with them.

I think it's some kind of honey which binds the Weetabix tighter together.

Mine is Weetabix, Cheerios, Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies and a large brandy.

I hate those cds you get in newspapers. It didn't affect me before, but now the IT is starting to do it. I doubt they ever get watched and the newspaper won't fold.

You poor unfortunate. German or French??

Weetabix.

It's babyfood, bog-buried cardboard and a hundred other unpleasant things. No, no and no again.

I'll post a recipe for granola later if I can find it. Great stuff with youghurt in the mornings.

I looooooooove Weetabix. My girlfriend is big into granola.

in all fairness, the jfk one (saturdays dvd) is much better than the pap from the other papers.

Did you watch it? I binned it on principle.

Will they start offering films that people have actually heard of?

It's obvious, Ard, that you have never seen the whites of the eyes of "Verwaltungsrecht"!

How can you say that Kate? I eat about 1000 weets per year. My father rang me once to tell me he had eaten his 30,000th weetabix. They are magic, especially with cold Avonmore Supermilk.

You are taking them out of the box before eating ? Right ?

shredded wheat on the other hand is like eating a bale of straw softened in rancid ditch water!
