Calendars.

Wow - I hadn't realised that. I'm too young to remember the original series, and I'm impressed that you recall it so well. Maybe you, or Roger, could "fill me in" some time.

Next time I see you, I surely will, pal!  >:

Lovely part of the world, Peepsie, and also the location for a lot of the outdoor 'Tannochbrae' scenes in the original Dr Finlay's Casebook series.

It was also the destination for every 'Mystery Tour' leaving from my neck of the woods when I was a boy, so much so that when anyone was going there they'd declare that they were off on a mystery tour.

What wags...

I have "New Zealand's Wild Landscape".  This month is the Forest of North Stuart Island.  What does that say about me?  something good I hope!

[The Peepmaster]

I'm told New Zealand's a mighty fine place. I suspect you're a romantic.

You think Petal might be a romantic and you've put him/her in charge of Mince! Are you mad?!

Hi, Petal. Keep taking the tablets and soon all this will seem a bad dream!

I still have the calendar from 2001 my mum sent me up on the studio wall. It has two Scottie dogs, backed by sprigs of white heather, a horseshoe and a tartan bow. One dog wears a Tam-o-shanter, the other a Glengarrie.
The motto says "Twa wee mascots, white heather-old horshoe- together mean lots of luck for you!

Like just about every present my mother ever bought me specifically, it's dreadful.

[Jack]

I don't have a calendar; nor do I understand why I shouldn't sieve rice after cooking.

These are crazy times indeed.

[The Peepmaster]

No - you mustn't sieve rice after cooking, even if it's with dates!

It sounds lovely you ungrateful git.

You tell 'im, Diane.

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

Sorry, but I'm with the ungrateful git on this one.

[The Peepmaster]

Tarks - old women love that kind of thing!

[Jack]

No - you mustn't sieve rice after cooking, even if it's with dates!

What does it matter who I'm with? Why can't I sieve the damn rice?

I usually bung it in a sieve and run hot water through it, washing away all the sticky starchy water. And now I'm not supposed to?!

This is worse than the time I found out that the mincemeat in mince pies wasn't actually meat at all!

[Vulture]

Tarks - old women love that kind of thing!

No. We don't!

[Malc]

Well it isn't, though the thought behind it is. The calendar was obviously printed in China, as it has that washed-out Woman's Friend colour styling, with all the appeal of the Sunday Post - sexless Presbyterian smelly socks and cabbage water.
