Which MEANS that you don't like them!!  ::)  If you DID like them you'd know that they have intricate differences and each has special attributes, and they're wunnerful, and great, and cool and...... hmmm, maybe it's something I ate?  ;D
Cheers.

Okay, but I think the weather will be VERY BAD!

Which particular fancy man would that be? (You know I have so many :-X )

Maggi,

You need two TVs then.  ;D  Makes it much easier when one wants to watch one thing and the other wants something else.  Saves fights!!  ::)

Never met the man!  :'(
It occurs to me that Mark may have been using the phrase "your long haired fancy man" in a Northern Irish idiom,that is to say meaning " an attractive young man"...... meaning that I may have generally found this person to be worth watching.... I, on the other hand (and this is a case of, if the cap fits, wear it)took him to mean that some fellow was on TV , in whom I had previously expressed/demonstrated an interest!!
I'm beginning to sound like Bill Clinton....  :o
