Moan, moan, moan----get it off your chest or have a chat

Yes, but that's what rooting for the underdog is all about...

What fun is it if they win all the time?

Well, from the point of view of the Scottish Cricket Team, or the Scottish Football team.... I really wouldn't know, Carlo

Lesley, look on the bright side. Both NZ rugby teams are doing exceedingly well. The league team are world champions, having beaten the only other team to have claimed that title in 19 tournaments and the union team have just won a grand slam against the home nations - something the Aussies didn't manage!

[Lesley Cox]

Thanks for trying to cheer me up Anthony. I had something to post on the "YES!!! "I'm so Happy" thread but I'm so unhappy I can't remember what it was!

[Lesley Cox]

I suppose that when one of those beastly, unrelated, advertising posts appears, such as the recent instrument string one, the best we can do is ignore it totally, knowing that Maggi will very soon remove it.

[Maggi Young]

Lesley, you should be happy, as I am, that these stray adverts do not appear very often!

[David Nicholson]

They may as well be Carlo!

We are rated 8th out of 10 of the test-playing nations now, only Zimbabwe and Bangaladesh below us. I think the West Indies are 7th.

No greetin' Lesley, the only way is UP   

[Lesley Cox]

I am indeed Maggi.

David, NZ cricket? whatever makes you think so. Beautiful teeth though and I wish I could make my hair like that.

cheers

Shouldn't that be fiftified, David ... ?   (and am I being uncharacteristically generous at that)?

This is a moan against myself as I can't find the small thread in which I had some seed to share, from Marcus Harvey. Doesn't seem to be in either the seed section or the General Forum so here we go. I just wanted to say that all the packets (25!) have been posted this morning. I'd be pleased if those who receive them would let me know when they arrive, so I can give a pat on the back to the Post Office. It's a funny time of year after all.

I think I remembered everyone and the first requesters at least got all or most of what they wanted. Latter ones had some gaps in their requests. I ran out of seed envelopes by the time I'd finished the crocuses and colchicums so the frits are in little tissue parcels.

I do wish everyone success with them. In the past I have always found Marcus's collected and homegrown seed to be of excellent quality. A couple of mistakes on my part, due to not reading Marcus writing clearly. Colchicum corsicum is C. cretense and Fritillaria citrina is F. carica. They are correctly labelled in the packets.

Happy New Year everyone.

Lesley dont get upset it happens to me all the time. I went upstairs this afternoon to do something and when I got there I couldnt remember
