OK, I have another question that I'm too lazy to look up the answer for:

How many British Isles are there?  And if you know, can you name them all?

Going back eons to the Geological Age, I'm led to believe that, had one large area of land been a bit further west, it would possibly be today an island off the New England coastline, rather than remaining an island to the west of what would become England eons later.  With dinosaurs later appearing in England, then African wildlife running around my neighborhood, things seems to have changed a bit while these islands were being created during the planet's infancy, then later events over millions of years.

Have you tried pressing the defrost switches?  I think there's two on the front. Or do you mean she's plugged in and purrs all night?  Personally, I think it's quicker by Tube.

Hi Peter; know what you mean. A bit like laying in bed thinking an MGM movie is about to start but you can't see the TV. Perhaps a smoke detector might help? At least when it went off, it would wake her up---end of snoring problem ! Smile
