    I used to sit and stare into the peat fire, sipping Old Pulteney and occasionally cursing at the cat for not keeping the hens out of the kitchen.

    Well, for one thing, I wrote a lot of letters by hand, which is something I hardly ever do these days. E-mailing is much more convenient!

    With you on that one. So much for computers widening your knowledge, the only memory I have left is that in the computer
    Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

    It surely can't be healthy, all this sitting in front of screens, and the children in front of the ps2 etc. When I was a kid, I was always outside playing, even in the rain. Our tv picture was very bad then, so didn't watch much, preferred to be outside. Now I have a dog for an excuse to get out for a walk away from all the pixels!
