Very few new Forum posts in my Inbox this morning. I suppose everyone's busy with their seedlists. :D 8)
I've only ever ordered using the paper copy. My July bulletin ended up goodness knows where! :-[

Folks,
 If you have the paper copy the password is in it, too.... and it is easy to ask me for the password.......and online orders don't need to have lists added  by members for MAF, the list is printed automatically  8)

So who's seedlist are we talking about?  I guess I've missed something (pretty common right now!  ::))?

Anthony, if you didn't get your July Journal, you can borrow mine if you like. I can send it up today but would like it back sometime. But try the Online ordering it's easy even for idiots such as myself. PM you. My paper list hasn't arrived yet and I understand paper orders are not disadvantaged for priority, compared to Online.

Thanks Maggi, I hadn't realised it was out.  Perhaps not this year.  ::)  I've never actually taken part in the seedex, despite being a member for a few years now.  Always something that gets in the way.

Anyone else in Aus need something that they can't fit on their seed order?  ;D ;D ;D ;)
Cheers.

Wonder if anyone else saw the programme on BBC 4 last night at 9pm "Continental Drifters" by the erudite and laconic American comedian Rich Hall? It was brilliant and very funny. Basically he was looking at American culture, and sometimes British culture too, through the medium of "road" movies. Along the way he very subtly pricked the bubbles of pomposity surrounding people like Jeremy Clarkson.

This, I think the third programme of this kind he has done and all have been well worth watching. Rich Hall is from the "deep south" of America and has done most of his best work in the UK.

David, sounds like my kind of TV.
I've just checked and it's repeated next Monday (21st) on BBC4 @ 1100pm in case anyone else missed it and wants to watch.
Personally, I'll set the recorder as it's past my bedtime.  ;)
