Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

Thank you CL but no need. I have avoided celebrating that one day of each year as I am not a birthday person😊 This year the family have finally taken notice of my response - I don't want anything = material value that gets put in a cupboard, or garage, for a few years and then goes to a charity shop - I have everything I need🙂 This year everyone got me bottles of stout🤗, many I have never tasted before😇. So at the rate of one bottle per week, Friday evenings, they should last me months👍 I think everyone should celebrate every day they wake up, I do👌

Vic - it's not really a game show. Just the host asking interesting questions and the panelists are awarded points not only for the correct answer, but also for interesting ones, regardless of whether they are correct or even relate to the original question, while points are deducted for "answers which are not only wrong, but pathetically obvious" First series was on topics beginning with 'A' and the subsequent series working their way through the alphabet and the current series is topics beginning with the letter 'S'.

I'm the same as your OH - I prefer Stephen Fry but I also think that Sandy Toksvig is as knowledgeable and very funny very funny it's just since she took over, Series N I think, there is less control of the over the panelists and Sandy laughs too much at the panelists🙃. Over here the latest series on the BBC is S. On the Dave channel they keep repeating all the episodes of every series - Dave is a British free-to-air television channel owned by UKTV, which is available in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

yes miss - you, and QI, are my inspiration🙂

Aaahhhh - it's one of my favourite shows - the only place I really learn anything😢

@bluebarby would like that photo

Thanks Andy 👌

@Andy Millne- I'm intrigued by what I believe to be new members that I would categorise as 'phishing' for new targets to scam. I could be totally wrong and if so I apologise unreservedly to those I am referring to :- I know everyone has their own naming standards that they use when joining community groups and lately this group might get one new member every couple of weeks aand here is occasionally an unusual nom de plume but 4 in three days, using a similar naming format, is, to me, suspicious. Can we tell from the group 'activity log' what, if anything, the new members are looking for? Eggy

Vic - removed the white marks from our photo.

@lilbill15 - did you join the History Society and do you think they would be interested in the full Parish Magazine from 1952?
