I think that what oZzY is trying to say is that the cat was walking about on his keyboard while he was dozing.  If he lets that cat continue, sooner or later it will rewrite the works of Shakespeare (although not necessarily in the right order).

Nice one Hugh!!!  ;D

I worry about Ozzy ....you know!! ...... 6am ..posting babble.....it must have been some all night session!!!

[Hugh_Jones]

Actually, pica pica I think that what he is thinking is all perfectly logical and sensible in  his native language, but his drop-down erse-to-english dictionary isn`t functioning properly.

BB, Ina, I think it's great that you can get all the British channels, and of course, I hadn't realised that you could.   I can't afford cable on my penshun, and even if I could I don't think I would have time to watch the few programmes that would attract me.    BUT do we get Dutch, French, German, Belgian programmes on our cable TV?   I know we can get CNN news programmes, from when I've stayed in Hotels, but I can't remember being able to get European programmes.   Curious.

[Hugh_Jones]

Eric, of course we can`t get all those continental stations on cable TV here (not that I either have or want cable TV). You see, some of those continental stations have Naughty programmes which we shouldn`t see.  It`s all right for the continentals to see the Beeb programmes, because the Beeb only has full frontal on Sunday evenings, and that`s o.k. because they`ve had Songs Of Praise first.

Sorry ...Hugh....logical or not .......still worried!!  ;)  ;D  ::)

Hi Hugh. I would hate to only have Dutch stations on tv, it would be like living on an island (oh boy, I'm gonna get it for that haha).

[Hugh_Jones]

Ah, but you see Ina, living on an island has distinct advantages.  It saves us having to be overrun in turn by the Spanish, the French, the Germans, or any other country which wants to extend its empire, even though we usually have to go help turf them out in the end. It`s even managed to keep out the worst idiocies of the Franco-German Gauleiters who rule your country from Brussels.

Oddly enough, all those illegal immigrants who wend their way through Europe never seem to want to stay there, but all do their damndest to get here - must have SOME attractions.

[ina]

Point made, loud and clear but............. explain to me why so many Britishers are living in France, Spain and Holland? If they want to watch the nasties on continental t.v. wouldn't it be simpler to get cable?

[Hugh_Jones]

For the same reason as British Missionaries went to Africa, China and the South Pacific - to try and improve the lot of the natives - and with half the countries in the Eu (including Holland) officially in economic recession (EU figures - not mine) that`ll take a bit of doing.

[Hugh_Jones]

oZzY, you`re 4 postings behind the times.  All this 2.23 a.m. babbling is delaying your motor reflexes and overtaxing your babble function.

Have an early night and then try and keep up with the rest of the class, there`s a good celt.
