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!

Did it go ok?

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

Hasn't started yet! Any sec!

Ooops

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

I'm watching, is he the historian?

Have I missed it?

Yes, the historian! Talking NOW!

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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!

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

Well done ponyboy

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!

Tea, of course!

very boring though.

How about cider. Or mead?

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!

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!

But how long have you had it Carmenere?

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

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?

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