Okay – another question ….

(I can hear you saying – Lordy, doesn't she ever shut up?)

Well, see, the thing is, I wanted to respond to one of Fiona's blogs that was fairly recent – and it was to do with the Jane Fearnley-Whittingstall's book – but I couldn't find it, or remember the name at the top of the blog.

Now, I tried a few pertinent words, like:

Ministry of Food;

War rationing;

Jane Fearnley-Whittingstall;

etc; etc

however, nothing was revealed.

My question is – how else can I scan the recent blogs, if the few connecting words can't pick up the correct blog for me?

Really testing me now:

Maths required 12 + 10 ………

In the search facility, did you tick All Forums?

I'll try that again!

Sadly, the forum search facility is practically useless, BS. I did a search just now for Fearnley but it did not return the article you mentioned. Some helpful person did once point me to good search plugins for the blog. I need to take some leave and get it done.

Brightspark – it's probably a bit late now but it wasn't Nip it in the bud was it?

Ok my question – this signature lark – are you restricted to one line only?  I tried setting a quote then below this the addy of my blog and it didn't work.  Made it one line and inserted / and n's.  Confused

Ruth, this is the right subject, yes. Ok

Although it seems unimportant now, but I just wanted to respond to Fiona's daily blog about this book. Having read her discussion about it, I mentioned it to my husband that I thought it was a good idea, and then forgot all about it – until – ta da – I received the book as a birthday pressie from him!

A bit of non-news now, tho …..   Big_Laugh  Big_Laugh

Righto – another question.

Today, I though I would check-in to the forum, and for more than an hour I was unable.

It wasn't my connection, either, because I was able to look on other websites.

Question: what causes this to happen?

and another, more trivial though, why do I have so many Maths adding up to 13 – is there a message coming through to me ????

No idea of the cause BS but I kept getting the message error 102, for a lot longer than an hour too.  I was just about to text Danny when it all came back on line again.  More frustration!  Monster   I hope it stays up for the rest of the day and beyond.

No clue about the Maths either, I don't have to do them any more, isn't that brilliant?

I'll try that again!

I did.  It worked in that it added it but it changed it to all one line and I've worked out that the 'n's' it put in were my return button presses when I was making the quote and the addy on different lines.  It came out  like this:

"Beware of the leopard."nnhttp://8ampersandruth.blogspot.com/

Not really what I wanted. Cry

Ah, I understand.  Are you aware though, that we can access your blog by clicking on the blue/green button just to the right of the date you last posted?

I'll try that again!

Aha – I wasn't.  Learning every day on here.  Smile 

Do I assume then that the signature is single line only?  Mind you doesn't Elrohana have a double line one?  Hmmm – one to try out some more I think.
