Cynthia Today at 20:51 Request review
Try St. Jude.... Patron Saint of lost causes!

Speak for yourself Mrs C...

Fans.....I thought JC wanted his babies to be honest!

I met the queen and she talked to me in 1977 in Sheffield

Me and my mate were hanging off railings in the city centre and she came up to us and said 'be careful not to fall off there'

We laughed and said 'we're areet'

She smiled, not knowing what the.... we'd said

whos? ST JUDE? IMPOSSIBLE ,Hes dead and a saint,so he wont be making babies now and doubt he did when alive if he was aiming at sainthood.

Heh, he's the one who raised the kissing cousins, in response to the notion that the hero of Alma might have had offspring though unmarried. ;)

So far we haven't really communicated, that was all through our mutual acquaintance, until she got tired of relaying and exchanged our email addresses.

GRO index tells me he's about a year younger than me. Heck, born same quarter as No.1. Looks like a straight trade, to me.

Cynthia - curtsey/courtsey. Yes, but Michael said he doesn't do c-u-r-t-e-s-y.

;)

Pick ,pick,pick...

Drops a deep courtsey and leaves this post walking backwards in deference to blue bloodied person! lol

Taken from the Michael Griffiths .... Australia.. thread.

What you after Cyn?

And when did JC get Bloodied?chopped her finger again?

Sorry,but the little red imp seems to be sitting on my shoulder tonight...

After nowt Fans.......just waiting for that chappie to open a hand holding pm from me and deferring to greatness in the meantime!


Thought that red imp was a permanent feature....or maybe it's the way you walk.

Ha ha...

Im bored,think I will go play with the Godfrey/Thomsons for a while...


On second thoughts,Im not that bored,think I will stay here and annoy you lot instead.

QI is on the telly. Shrunken heads at the mo!

There must be someone out there who needs your help.......

Ah....which way does the Queen face on all coins???

Pass.
I am too poor to have all the coins to be able to check..

HELP.....ANYONE....
I've just received the following pm and don't know it means let alone how to reply!! Any ideas welcome

*************
What I haven't come across so far is the credit system and how to use it. I had found some info and added it to my tree but now can't find what I've saved. It also struct me as odd that I couldn't get more detailed info not just a name in a list, so I was looking for the next level of info as obviously thats where the detail is going to be to move you forward.

If you could guide me thriugh the next stage I'd be thank full.

********************

Can someone go find JC for me............??

You have as much chance of finding her as us.

PM her?
She LOVES em...

marrows

great with cheese sauce

or stuffed

and i love marrow and ginger jam.

Swede? I believe you'll find that's "rutabaga".

OK, the PM.

This person is paying to use "records" at this site. First mistake.

When we search at FreeBMD or Ancestry for, say, a birth, we are given an exact result, with the registration details.

I believe that when you search here you are given a list of pages where you might find the name, and you're welcome to go look at the image.

However, the person may be getting a result like a FreeBMD result, which is the GRO index. Except they're *expecting* to get the whole shebang -- parents' names, dates, places, blah blah. Tough swedes. Doesn't work that way.

(Now, Ontario always did that. At Ancestry, the image you see is of the register, and it includes all that for births. And parents' full names for marriages, plus the parties' ages and birthplaces. But not in England, noooo.)

Or -- the person is searching here at GR without paying, and getting lists of names but no way of accessing the info associated with. Go use FreeBMD. Or if it's a census, go subscribe somewhere that has them.

As for not being able to find what they saved ... well how the heck is anybody, even moi, supposed to know what that's about??

Oh, sigh, now comes the PM. And of course the Error Message instead of the Inbox. Oh ye of little patience ...

Oh, well, if one is going to harass me with PMs, one is going to see them in the headlines.

"The other lot are as much help as a stuffed marrow."

........................... Snork.

I was told they used marrow in those lyons apple pie things, dont know if its true or not

ja...x

Hi all


OH cooked a swede last Sunday, said he thought only part of it might be edible 'cos it had been so hard to cut.

He mashed it ................ then threw it straight into the garbage.

It was so woody throughout that it was inedible!


It was only a small one so should have been OK


I make (or used to make ...... OH does it now) marrow & ginger jam, rhubarb and ginger, quince jelly, plum jam, tayberry jam, blackberry jam, spiced blueberry jam, kiwifruit jam, seville orange marmalade


these are what I put out for breakfast

:)))
