Actually, it works quite well there steve. At least it is related to the subject, but usually the interviewee has a different agenda to the interviewer and just keeps talking, starting each point with 'so'. Have a listen to the radio and you will hear it. I think Radio 4 is the worst. I only listen to Radio Norfolk and Radio 4 and Radio 5 Up All Night. Husband likes Radio 4 Extra. I hate it. |

I had T&M`s catalogue today, have binned it as I buy their seeds from the local garden centre anyway. They are half price there at the mo anyway.  You sure you are not Scottish? Just mean Jim.  |

I'm on Harry Potter 7 now, and after that I must read something more erudite.  I'm enjoying the series, but one foible of J.K. Rowling's is to make every character say 'Yeah' instead of 'Yes' and it gets irritating.  What really irks me are people who start a sentence with " you know". If I knew, I wouldn`t ask the question.  |

Or 'like' as in - " Like I was doing such and such". Sloppy language. There are more than a few speakers (including politicians) in public life who 'um' and 'err' so often that it gets very irritating! |

The one that gets me is, She or I ...turned around and said....I always picture someone spinning around and then talking

Why, 'at the end of the day'? Why not at lunchtime or at the start of the day?  |

I keep reading Philip Damp's book Growing and Showing Dahlias.
Sad but true. You would think that I would be bored by now, each time I see it I pick it up for another read through.
Oh, I'll just read about... and then find myself flicking through to another section etc.  |

I can quite happily sit and read a gardening book - but they tend to be large and heavy tomes, so they're not ideal for reading in bed. I've almost finished HP7 now - so I might move on to one of OH's library books that he said was good. It was another by Dan Brown. |

I have a very good book about a newbie`s allotment experiences called Using the Plot. It`s by Paul Merrett, a trained chef, so you get recipes as well. Superb for the veg gardener/cook.

HP back on its shelf, and I've started Dan Brown's 'Inferno' which is set in Florence.

At last I am getting a Kindle. The last book was a little too heavy in weight. I can't remember the name of my present book, but in two nights I have read 2 pages. I am very tired when I finally make it to bed because I clean after my visitors have all gone to theirs.
