I remember the days though when it was a rate like that, $2.60 to the pound, in the mid 80,s I think, |

Are you sure about that Cheers? I think the British pound is around $1.60 (at least I hope that's what it is as I am off to the UK in October for 3 weeks).

Why are you starving yourself Cheers??
Someone said, about a week ago, on here that the UK doctor changed her blood pressure medication that was prescribed in American and she has since lost about 20 pounds. I brought that up to my doctor today and he is going to try to adjust my prescription and see if the same happens to me. Actually I'm not starving myself its just that sometimes I'm on the web before I eat. Cheers |

This post has nothing to do with MBTUK, but I just want to say congrats to Andy Murray - won the US Open Men's Tennis - first British man to win a major Grand Slam since Fred Perry. Way to go Andy!!! :) (And yes, I am half Scottish, so very proud of him).

My money is on Maggie as well, although I think Shirley will liven it up a bit - not sure when we are getting it here in Canada, any idea anyone?

This is great news following on the success of the Olympics and the Paralympics. GB has excelled in hosting and promoting both games, along with bring home the medals. Well done to all involved, makes me proud to be British, not that I wasn't proud to be before. Well done Andy Murray. The town of Dunblane will be in the news again, but this time for a positive reason. Lang may you lum reek Andy:) |

Yes Im also looking forward to seeing the first episode of the third series this Sunday, do you know I read last year that Downton Abbey is made in England -------- but with mostly American Money, so that prompts me to ask why it takes sooooo long to Air it in the U.S. four months after episode #1 airs on British TV,S :confused: I saw the first episode of the new Dallas last Wednesday, and am so much looking forward to seeing the second episode tomorrow Wednesday, I was really impressed, the writers and story tellers did such a great Job, from start to finish, it was so interesting and quite exciting too, it was fantastic to see some of the same actors playing there old characters like J.R. and Bobbie Ewing and others again, I didn't really expect this series to be much good to tell you the truth, but it looks like its going to be as big or even bigger then the original all those years ago. |

Oooooh Dallas! Missed it will have to see if it's on the player. I loved the old series back in the 70's & 80's. I will never forget the night JR got shot. My sis was in a huge panic to get home from college (a 2 hr. drive away) in time to see it, this was back in the days before vcr's so if you were late you missed it, end of. Well wouldn't you know it, her boyfriend was late picking her up for the drive home and it was debatable that she'd get there in time. By the time she did arrive home (just in the nick if I remember correctly) they were embroiled in a huge row over him being unreliable and for a minute I thought we were going to have a shooting right in our own living room :lol: Obviously she got over it because she married him.
curlytops to tell you the truth I forgot about the first episode of Dallas and got the days mixed up ---- so the next day I just got into channel 5 main website and was able to stream the entire one hour episode, I would like to know when the new Dallas aired its first episode in the U.S. could someone tell me please? Im thinking that they are a good two months ahead of us :unsure: |
