My user name is the same as my pet's name to keep things simple. Zoonie was named after one of my husband's childhood pets - who in turn was named for a character in the childrens' TV show, Fireball XL5. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireball_XL5 Zoonie the Lazoon, lazy semi-telepathic pet of Dr. Venus from planet Colevio (voiced by David Graham). His curiosity often led him to cause trouble. During his first appearances, he couldn't say anything but "welcome home" but his vocabulary grew as the series progressed, often due to him mimicking other characters. I have to point out that my Zoonie is much more industrious and intelligent than that, and also a lot better looking than the Lazoon!

Ours doesn't seem sweet Frannie, not sure why - anyways, now you know how fussy I am Just heard a really funny story on the radio (I thought it was funny) The interviewer is talking to an old time British song and dance entertainer (Tommy Steele) and he's recalling meeting Fred Astaire...'show me what you got' says Fred to Tommy. Tommy performs a really complicated move, only to hear 'oh yes, the Irish man'll have taught you that ... he never could do it right!' Glad you like the story/clip BBG. BRB, builder calls

I like it hot, no sugar, and we tend not to use cream in the UK really. So I either have powdered creamer or hot milk. I don't like it so you can stand a spoon up straight in it, but not milky either If I go out and it's a coffee shop with the expresso machine, I have two shots of expresso topped up with hot milk, as opposed to what they try and sell you, which is a latte I don't like too much airy froth oh and I get picky about the mugs as well... so I'd better make my own!

More tips on eggs: If you're not sure, test the freshness of eggs by placing them in a deep bowl of water an egg that sinks and lies on the bottom of the bowl, is fresh if it lies on the bottom of the bowl, but tilts - it's ok to use an egg that floats should be disguarded The thing that took me ages to cotton on to is that you should always wash your hands after handling eggs, due to the amount of bacteria that can be present on the shells...you only have to think of the journey they make to realise really

I know, our rates vary, but 40% and then deductions for National Insurance too (that goes for health and pensions - although a lot of people pay again out of the tax-paid earnings for health and education!) Problem is, as well, that the pensions contribution is paying for the pensions being drawn now ... there wont be anything left when we need it!!! Ciao Dawn, can't even start on about MUFC, or Sir Alex, even though he's been a fabulous manager - GRRRR.
