Only I thing to say Norah……

Spurs 3. Norwich 0 (that’s NIL!)

Just thought you’d like to know

Ha, ha, Simplesimon.

Derby lost but Chesterfield beat Salford to get into the 3rd round of the FA Cup. It wasn't easy watching the footie and Grand Prix on 2 different channels.

I follow what Norwich get up to, I like Delia. You might like this quote from 2009 "She caused a national cranberry shortage in 1995 and transformed the fortunes of a struggling Lancashire firm when she described their omelette pan as a "little gem", prompting sales to leap from 200 a year to 90,000 in four months"

Who else has that power, I don't think even Jamie today could beat that.

This has nothing whatever to do with the Listener but introduces an air of brevity after recent traumas.

Brilliant. Let humour reign for a change 😁

I agree MATE.

Thank you. I have avoided posting for a while now, due the sense of ill-feeling/provocation displayed.

Best wishes to everyone.

Unclued. Nice one 👍😜

Norah, thanks for your tea-time update - and the return of friendly banter!

Agreed 100%. Thanks for standing up for us ordinary crossworders.

I'm usually a "when in doubt, say nowt" sort but I feel compelled to say a big thank you to Norah, malone and the many other good people on here who make this one of my happy places in these distressing times.

If it isn't too early to say, HAPPY CHRISTMAS to all.

Norah, my apologies. I’ve been alerted to your post in which you said you had emailed me. To my shame, the email address that was in my profile no longer works. I’d forgotten all about it. I have updated it just now. For what it’s worth, I am very happy to reconsider and to return to this thread from time to time with what I hope will continue to be friendly hints, nudges - and perhaps occasional instances of real help. 😉 But all on the basis of good humour and mutual respect. Thank you, friends.

I'm as relieved as anyone here about the decision Norah has taken. Thank you to her and I look forward to the return of the camaraderie that makes these threads so enjoyable.

I note several posters are keen to get the banter back so I'll kick off:

"Bally Jerry pranged his kite right in the how's your father. Hairy blighter dicky-birded, feathered back on his Sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his Betty Harper's and caught his can in the Bertie."
