Uninteresting Trivial Facts

As a Welshman, I'd like to apologise to all board members who watch The Valleys on MTV.

Please don't think that this lot are typical of all teenagers and twentysomethings in the Valleys. In fact, most residents are a good bit further up the evolutionary chain.

The demise of a well loved local bakery has made the Guardian. I, along with many others, will miss Satterthwaites.

Merits a whole thread on its own.

Where I live we have a lovely little family bakery that has been in the town for over a 100 years. Its always trying new things but has the staples that everyone goes in for. I think they are now really struggling with rising costs and folks can't always take the inevitable increases in price. So now on a Saturday morning there is bread left over where a couple of years ago you had to be there before 11:00 or the shelves would be cleared.

Spent an interesting time at Pontins in Southport last weekend. Hate to be snobby but boy was an example of a shallow gene pool.

Just put the Sunday dinner on. Full roast beef, yorkshire puddings, roasties, roast parsnips, roast carrots and sugar snap peas (the last one was the missus' idea. Haven't done a proper roast in ages, now shall I open a bottle of Rioja or shall I be good?

Surely roast beef and Yorkshire puddings deserve a flagon of foaming ale!

Your question... why use the word 'or'? You'd be doing such a spread a disservice without it, shirley?

For example, two of my uncles don't have kids.

I agree it could have been worded better (he's a mathematician!), but "family line" is the key bit.
