Allotments 4 All

Ok.  I admit my great passion is Manchester United.  There, it's all Lottie's fault if everyone now piles in on me.   :(

Hi I love to go cycling and swimming.
I also enjoy playing footie, but mainly watch it now. :D

<Pssst Lottie, see wot you've started.   ::)>

Petite moi??  ;)

Georgie. My 10yr old Grandson has got more Man United stuff than they have got themselves, he reckons they are OK. Enjoy your passion!!

Oh Lorna, I do.  I've been a dedicated follower since the mid 60s.  Others know where they were when Kennedy was shot etc, I know where I was the day we got relegated.   ::)  :'(

My daughter gave me a fab pic of Ruud recently but sadly I can't post it here.  ;)

If the cap fits, Lottie.... :P

This thread reminds me, I've still got all  the Archery kit and my tanks and scuba gear. I'll have to dig them out next year. ;)

I have only done archery once or twice - really anjoyed it and found I could hit the target.  It is something I really want to develop through my involvement with Scouts.

Thank you Redclanger ...

You've got Eva Cassidy Derek, I love her music :)

Ta Derek - going to make mine alphabetical now  ;D

Yes Eva Cassidy took a little while to grow on me, but I adore her voice and style. There are many female vocalists in my list, that is a prominent feature in my appreciation of music ...

I copied my list of an Access database Redclanger, sadly it is not up to date.

For instance there is no Steve Hackett (Genesis).

Plus

Apoptygma Beserk
Beautiful South
Blondie
Maroon 5
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Savage Garden
Pavement (thanks Red ...)
Melanie (thanks jennym)
Stereophonics


Leonard Cohen (thank you Oz ...)

Okay can I start a straw poll here?  Do you arrange your albums alphabetically and if so, would you file The Beatles under 'B' or 'T'?  Personally, I ignore the 'The' everytime.

G xx

I dont follow those rules ...

I would normally ignorre the the but this time I just copied and pasted into Wrod and then sorted it so it must not ignore the the.
