Yea. me too.

I did know as it hapens, but I don't think that many people do.

I expected the 'industry' to make far more of it than they have.
Just spotted a trailer for a 400 anniversary documentary - BBC2 9pm Friday.

Mustn't let anything get in the way of Eastenders :D :doh: (OK, I know Eastenders will have finished by then, but you know what I mean;) )

[Andy Broadley]

I say old bean, isn't the Alehouse getting terribly terribly English these days:D


Spiffing, what!

Pimms on the lawn anyone?:D

groan..... can't stand Eastenders! Sometimes our vicar has us singing a hymn that actually is to the tune of the Eastenders song! It's awful!
Can't stand any soaps. (Actually, I used to watch Brookside a long time ago) :sorry:

never liked Eastenders.

gave up on Corrie when Hilda left, and Emmerdale when it stopped being Emmerdale farm.

[Andy Broadley]

Tend to have UK Gold on most of the time these days.


Watched Hyasynth get her new suite last night (again).

That programme is still hilarious.

[karen freeinchristman]

Madame Bouquet? She is a gem.

Every time I see Onslow, I think that if Corrie wanted to boost it's ratings, they should bring Eddie Yates back.;)

[Naomi4Christ]

Eastenders has been pants for a while...

Corrie, I used to watch when I was a teenager (pre EE days), but I'm not up for it now.

Emmerdale - never seen since they dropped the farm and went for the outrageous plots.

The only drama/soap I watch is Holby City - and it's on tonight, yeah!

[karen freeinchristman]

I hardly ever watch TV.
only things I watch regularly are: ER (well, I am American)
and.... The X Factor! (that Simon Cowell, :thumbsup: )

[Andy Broadley]

From the little of Corrie I've seen lately (Mel watches it) it's gonna be up for a sit com award soon.

As for Emmerdale (she watches that as well), I never knew that a small village in Yorkshire could be such a dangerous place.:D

I live in a Yorkshire village and nothing ever happens.

[Naomi4Christ]

I don't have a regular schedule - will just watch when I feel like it. It tends to be more factual stuff. I don't have the attention span for a film very often...

[Naomi4Christ]

I live in a Yorkshire village and nothing ever happens.

Oh, I'm sure you get someone standing a round in 't pub every so often :D

[karen freeinchristman]

I live in a Yorkshire village and nothing ever happens.:cry: oh, how sad!

Why don't you make something happen? :cool:

Tonight is "Boston Legal", "The Gilmore Girls" and "Commander in Chief". Tuesdays are magnificent television viewing nights. Second only to Sunday nights ("Desperate Housewives"!)

I don't know what you English folks are talking about. :)

Oh, higgs2, and I had such a high opinion of you before knowing this! ;) (the part about "Desperate Housewives", especially!)

Sorry to go on about the English television programmes, but just wanted to tell Dogsbody and Andy that there is a programme on TONIGHT about the 5th November 1605, called "The Gunpowder Plot - Exploding the Legend", on ITV1 at 9:45pm.
Higgs2, the story of 5th November here in England is (from what I can remember) there was a man called Guy Fawkes (a Roman Catholic) who plotted to set fire to the Houses of Parliament in 1605 because (?) he disagreed with the reformation (?), and he was caught and burnt at the stake? or did he simply die in the fire that he had set? I can't remember. Someone enlighten higgs2, I obviously need to watch the programme! :)
Anyway, every 5th November, we all have huge fireworks and bonfires and food and it's pretty fun.

I think that history says that once the Gunpowder Plot was foiled and it was announced that the king was safe, bonfires were lit all over the country in celebration.

The thing about throwing a guy on the bonfire came later. Guy Fawkes was not actually thrown onto a bonfire, but he was tortured in the Tower of London so that he would give up the names of his co-conspirators.

I have actually been a faithful viewer of the Gilmore Girls for a couple years now. It's not my fault, though! I was visiting my sister in her dorm for a few days and she force-fed me Gilmore Girls tapes until I got hooked. ;) It's like crack, that show. ;) I scared the heck of of Lel last week when I was watching the trailer for the upcoming episodes and screamed out "Jess is back!". :) In defense of my masculinity, however, I should mention that I spent many hours last night watching football and wrestling.

I also watch "Boston Legal". Any show that features the actors who played Captain Kirk and Odo is hard for me to pass up. I just discovered that one fairly recently, though, so I don't know a whole lot about it. I like the show's sense of humor.

"Commander in Chief", I've only seen bits and pieces of. It looks like a neat show, but I can't say I'm a regular viewer. They should move it to Thursday when I have nothing to watch. :) On Tuesdays, it's too tempting to take the hour between Gilmore Girls and Boston Legal use it to do something productive. ;)

But Karen I *am* a desperate housewife! :D I joke about that with my kids. It gets worse... my priest is the one who got me watching DH in the first place! There is a lot of redemption and grace to be found in that show (in between all the naughty bits).

November is a great time for bonfires!

I don't think we could get away with throwing effigies of random catholics onto the fire though. Not the done thing you know, plus we have lots of RC friends. ;)

Good for you, Boston Legal is just superb. I adore Cap'n Kirk!!! And murphy Brown is on it too :) I just think that show is a hoot.

Gosh, this shows the difference between you and me: if I'm devoting 2 hours to shows I figure why not call it a total loss and watch a third show :D

Gilmore Girls is a rerun. :(

I regret to inform you that the Alehouse has been taken over by the British Action Force:D

You will notice little difference except a lot of discussion about british TV and everyone will stop for tea on the hour every hour:D

Oh yes....the beer is now served warm, not chilled.

[Andy Broadley]

Oh, and waffles and grits have been expunged from the breakfast menu to be replaced by porridge and boiled eggs with toast soldiers.


And I hereby announce the launch of a campaign to get international recognition for the fact that having your toast cut into soldiers at breakfast time is NOT childish :P :D

We are also forming the CF arm of the Marmite Liberation Front, to be based here.:D

Your food pictures are making me laugh. As I am only a transplant here in England (please don't hold that against me, I confess that I am smitten with the place!), I still get the biggest kick out of the traditional food served here. ^_^
(I might need my beer cooled a tad)

I LOVE bread and butter pudding! :yum:

Transplanted from California into Liverpool!!! (actually, not really Liverpool, the Wirral peninsula across the Mersey from Liverpool!). We are part of the Chester Diocese, not the Liverpool Diocese. Been here 14 years!

*Andy sings*



"Ferry Across The Mersey"


Life goes on day after day
Hearts torn in every way

So ferry 'cross the Mersey
'cause this land's the place I love
and here I'll stay

People they rush everywhere
Each with their own secret care

So ferry 'cross the Mersey
and always take me there
The place I love

People around every corner
They seem to smile and say
We don't care what your name is boy
We'll never turn you away

So I'll continue to say
Here I always will stay

So ferry 'cross the Mersey
'cause this land's the place I love
and here I'll stay
and here I'll stay
Here I'll stay

[karen freeinchristman]

My family at home think my accent has become very English, but my friends and family here don't think so at all! :scratch:

(I say "to-mah-to" now)

I miss my American football, my basketball, and my baseball. :cry:

The tooth itself simply up-and-died a few months ago! So, I haven't needed any novacaine injection, since the root and nerve are now gone.

it's raining here, though, so that probably has limited it somewhat.

Like your new avatar! :)

We are about to go out to a church bonfire/fireworks party - and I haven't had to cook for it!

We are about to go out to a church bonfire/fireworks party - and I haven't had to cook for it!
We had ours last night, in the Rectory garden. The Rector decided not to light the 12-foot high bonfire because there were too many young kids there and it was windy. It was a fun evening anyway.

[Naomi4Christ]

We had a school one last night - it was fun, very traditional :)

~And my first glass of mulled wine of the evening...

[DarthDigger]

Hello Everyone,

Im John from E. Sussex in England.

I saw fireworks last night.....

DD

[Naomi4Christ]

DD
Hey, DD! :wave: Glad you made it!

[DarthDigger]

Thankyou everyone!

[Lel]

Greetings, DD!

[Naomi4Christ]

You are in East Sussex, eh?

The only times I have been to East Sussex was to take the inlaws to Battle, and for our annual houseparty at Ashburnham. I would love to go to Rye. Are you near any of these places?

[DarthDigger]

yes - i went to Battle bonfire last night and Yes, I do live near Rye.

I went to Ashburnham when I was young - but have never been there since!

DD

[Naomi4Christ]

Ashburnham is cool! I love it. Where does your church go for its houseparty?

[karen freeinchristman]

Ashburnham is cool! I love it. Where does your church go for its houseparty?
Your church has a houseparty??? Wow, that sounds really great! What is it like?

[Naomi4Christ]

Your church has a houseparty??? Wow, that sounds really great! What is it like?

Oh, I thought all churches have them...

We have a guest speaker for the weekend, and they will run morning/afternoon/evening sessions according to a particular theme. Other than that, we eat together, play games, pray together and minister to one another. The kids have a great time.

[karen freeinchristman]

Naomi, what has happened to your hair? Did you have a fight with a bottle of bleach and lose? :confused:

[Naomi4Christ]

I was feeling blonde tonight!

[karen freeinchristman]

I was feeling blonde tonight!

These characters are so much fun!

[karen freeinchristman]

Naomi, I just read the scribes and pharasee's thread, and really, you were being very naughty! :cool:

[lonnienord]

do any of you pray morning and evening prayer from the prayer book daily? I lived in a Episcopal Rectory for about a year; discerning weather GOD wanted me to be a Episcopal Priest. During that time i prayed Morning and Evening Prayer daily with the priests. We started each day with a better translation of Psalm 95 than this but this one is good also. It is the New Living Translation:


Psalm 95



1
Come, let us sing to the LORD!
Let us give a joyous shout to the rock of our salvation!

2
Let us come before him with thanksgiving.
Let us sing him psalms of praise.

3
For the LORD is a great God,
the great King above all gods.

4
He owns the depths of the earth,
and even the mightiest mountains are his.

5
The sea belongs to him, for he made it.
His hands formed the dry land, too.

6
Come, let us worship and bow down.
Let us kneel before the LORD our maker,


7 for he is our God.
We are the people he watches over,
the sheep under his care.
Oh, that you would listen to his voice today!

8
The LORD says, "Don't harden your hearts as Israel did at Meribah,
as they did at Massah in the wilderness.

9
For there your ancestors tried my patience;
they courted my wrath though they had seen my many miracles.

10
For forty years I was angry with them, and I said,
`They are a people whose hearts turn away from me.
They refuse to do what I tell them.' 11
So in my anger I made a vow:
`They will never enter my place of rest.' "

[svdbygrace]

Naomi has blond hair now? I'm guessing Karen was just as confused when my I changed my hair color to blue! lol. :)

That Psalm is lovely. I don't pray the morning and evening prayer daily, sorry to say.


Svdbygrace, I am used to your blue hair now, and getting used to Naomi's (and Randi's pink/purple hair)! One of these days, I'll do something radical with my character, and surprise you all, too! ;)

[karen freeinchristman]

And now I am finding it difficult to tell Lel apart from John!!! :o

[Andy Broadley]

Hee, you're the first one to notice without me pointing it out, and I did it almost a week ago. :P

My hair is different from his, and so are my eyes. (That is both true for our dolls and in real life.)

[Lel]

I also like changing my character regularly. I need variety! :P

[svdbygrace]

That Psalm is lovely. I don't pray the morning and evening prayer daily, sorry to say.

Thanks for saying Hi to my Mom in the placement thread! She hardly ever comes on to CF because she is so busy as an English Professor (you can't tell from the way she writes her post, can you ^_^ ). She was asking questions about the placement, so I directed her to my placement journal thread. When I go home to California for Christmas, I'll get her hooked onto CF! ;)

We had a friend sing "Here, There and Everywhere" at our wedding. :)

[Andy Broadley]

Do you mean 'All my loving'?

Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you,
Tomorrow I’ll miss you;
Remember I’ll always be true.
And then while I’m away,
I’ll write home ev’ry day,
And I’ll send all my loving to you.

I’ll pretend that I’m kissing
The lips I am missing
And hope that my dreams will come true.
And then while I’m away,
I’ll write home ev’ry day,
And I’ll send all my loving to you.

All my loving I will send to you.
All my loving, darling I’ll be true.

[Andy Broadley]

We had a friend sing "Here, There and Everywhere" at our wedding. :)

Wonderful song.:)

To lead a better life I need my love to be here...

Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there

There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there

I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

To be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

[karen freeinchristman]

Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you,
Tomorrow I’ll miss you;
Remember I’ll always be true.
And then while I’m away,
I’ll write home ev’ry day,

I’ll pretend that I’m kissing
The lips I am missing
And hope that my dreams will come true.
And then while I’m away,
I’ll write home ev’ry day,
And I’ll send all my loving to you.

All my loving I will send to you.

Another one of my favourites by probably my favourite Beatle...


While My Guitar Gently Weeps


I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you
how to unfold you love
I don't know how someone controlled you
they bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted
you were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
no one alerted you

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

Oh, oh, oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin’ love was just for fun
Those days are gone

Livin’ alone
I think of all the friends I’ve known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody’s home

All by myself
Don’t wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Don’t wanna live
All by myself anymore

Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Don’t wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Don’t wanna live
All by myself anymore

What does GOD have you doing for HIM?

GOD keeps me busy. One of the things HE has me doing is encouraging others to get and stay close to HIM.

Another ministry that keeps me very busy in Nov and the first two weeks of Dec. is sending out Christian Christmas cards. Durring Novermber i address and write Christmas cards. I mail them all out the Monday After Advent 1 Sunday. i mail out at least 100 cards every year. I send Christmas Cards to at least 50 people in prison each year. So for the next 6 weeks i'll be here a lot less cause i am very busy preparing Christmas cards to encourage people to have a good Advent and a blessed Christmas.

Please pray for me and for all who recieve Christmas Cards from me. If there are any out there who would like to send Christmas cards to inmates please PM me.

[svdbygrace]

Lonnie, that is a wonderful ministry! :)

Well, read them Leviticus 14:33 - 57!

Are there greenish or reddish depressions that appear to be deeper than the surface of the wall? Then the priest needs to close it up and inspect it in 7 days. If the spots have spread they'll need to replaster. Then (and this is the best part) if it hasn't spread after the house has been plastered all they need to do is to kill a bird over fresh water in a clay pot, dip a live bird, scarlet yarn, cedar wood, and hyssop into the blood and fresh water, and then sprinkle the house (or church) seven times. THen release the live bird in the open fields outside the town.

If it does spread after plastering, they'll need to tear it down.

:D

Seriously, mold is a terrible health problem, I feel for your parents, this would be an hard thing for a church to have to deal with.

Thank goodness we've heard from Lel and John, I was beginning to worry about them.


No need to worry. :) I've just been busy with household chores and bible reading. :)
