Alphabet associations - I

[Anna]

So obscure, in fact, that the Prime Minister quoted it t'other day!

Well now I feel really stupid and have lost any shred of street-cred I may have had!! I just thought Cameron was doing the usual patronising male "don't bother your pretty little head about it" type of thing. I must obviously watch more ITV to keep up to speed.

[Anna]

what Vs have we had?

Viola da Gamba, Vasary, Venusberg, Venice (2), Vanishing Bridegroom, Victor, Vanity, Viola, Velvet, Voltaire, Village, Vera

mercia, why not cut and paste the latest list into word like I do?

But my dear, surely you're forgetting he's a fellow gastronome!

You've seen Anna's Waldstein???!!

Yes, and it was delightful. Only trouble was she told me to keep my distance. As if!

Now, this 'ere U.

at the risk of sounding real dumb I don't think I've got word anymore . my computer had a big crash a few months back, got taken away and now all I can do now is connect to the internet, everything else disappeared

can I get word for free from somewhere?

Not sure, if it crashed (presume you are on XP) you should still have Microsoft Works when you got it back and restored? I put Word on this (illegally, borrowed disc, because I had a lot of Word docs I needed to keep working on) because I prefer it to Works but there are plenty of free wordprocessing packages out there I think. Is there one called Open Office? I'm sure someone can help you on this.

Oh. But, dear mercia, when my computer crashed I had the hard drive cloned, it arose from the ashes like a Phoenix thanks to our wondeful local geeks, do you not have the original discs and stuff? I mean, it's OK just to connect, but without Word (or equivalent, databases, etc) that's no good.

But my dear, surely you're forgetting he's a fellow gastronome!

Is he? I recall bad tempered reviews in The Sunday Times and generally being a boring old Furt and giving gastronomes such as you and I, a bad name. Anyway, it's vegetarian night tonight. I might go and eat a Swede
