My DH is about to come on Sky News! NOW!

[ponygirl]

He's talking about St George.

God, I'm really nervous, so heaven knows how he's feeling! He's never been on telly before!

[Boopert]

Did it go ok?

[waterfalls]

i WOULD WATCH BUT DS WOULD HAVE A WOBBLER IF i TURNED bOOMERANG OFF[GRIN]

[ponygirl]

Hasn't started yet! Any sec!

[waterfalls]

Ooops

[ponygirl]

It's OK, waterfalls, that's a priority I understand!

[Carmenere]

I'm watching, is he the historian?

[UlyseesEggsAndEatsThem]

Have I missed it?

[ponygirl]

Yes, the historian! Talking NOW!

[Carmenere]

He's good, I could imagine hime presenting a documentary about his subject.

[ponygirl]

Oooh, thanks Carmenere, we might come to you for a reference!

[milward]

wow - was he the historian - really interesting - they should give him his own programme.

[ponygirl]

Thanks milward!

God, I'm still really nervous for him. I'm glad to see that the fact that he's absolutely bricking it doesn't show!

[ponygirl]

All over. Phew! Think he did us, and himself, credit.

[Carmenere]

I thought he was really good, will you guys be celebrating St Patricks day?

[anorak]

I watched it too. How interesting to be married to an historian. Bet he's got more interesting topics of conversation than who Millwall should buy next!

[UlyseesEggsAndEatsThem]

haha anorak I know which I'd rather be married to, a football nut or historian?? Now let me think

Well done ponyboy

[ponygirl]

Yes, anorak, he does, no shortage of conversation!

Carmenere - I think we'll pass on St Patrick's. I have though just been discussing my mother what the English national drink would be if St George's Day was properly established. Is a g&t too colonial? Sure not bitter (yuk!). Pimms a bit too... Any advance?

Thanks for watching everyone!

[anorak]

Tea, of course!

very boring though.

[anorak]

How about cider. Or mead?

[ponygirl]

Well, it's got to be alcoholic! The only alternative I could think of was just a bar: a whole range of drinks, something for everyone!

[Carmenere]

I got a bottle of Somerset Pomona which is apparently an ancient type of fortified apple-brandy type drink. That could be due for a revival!

[ponygirl]

But how long have you had it Carmenere?

[Carmenere]

lol, I got it in House of Fraser at Christmas!

[SaintGeorge]

He was talking about me and I missed it! Shucks.

As for the alcohol - gin would be the obvious answer, although I am rather partial to Vodka myself. Does that count if you have my official endorsement?

[ponygirl]

I think your word, must officially be the final one, SG! G&T it is! Hurrah!
