Jeannie loves it and Fran and I are hoping to take her to see a show being recorded. Jeannie is a Scot and when she gets excited we all struggle to understand her.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-43679149880584037702014-02-09T06:08:41.190+00:002014-02-09T06:08:41.190+00:00Until recently we could only watch Mrs. Brown'...Until recently we could only watch Mrs. Brown's Boys on Utube. Now, the show is on BBC Canada. I think it is so funny, although my husband has a hard time understanding what they are saying most of the time.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465050441931715127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-5341998951682581262014-02-09T00:01:31.926+00:002014-02-09T00:01:31.926+00:00Mrs Brown's Boys - ace.

And yes, utilities companies these days are just taking the mickey, with their prices, their service - or lack of it, and their attitude. But, like our on-the-make and largely ineffectual politicians, we can seldom do more than jump up and down at intervals and hope to get notice. Crack on with the crochet!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385150635938870512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-15426848205385035512014-02-08T17:54:08.939+00:002014-02-08T17:54:08.939+00:00Ahh, phone arguments about statements, I, like Hel...Ahh, phone arguments about statements, I, like Helen find Virgin the best. I once rang them only to be asked if I was ringing up to make a payment, to which I replied that I was ringing up because our broadband wasn't working but when they fixed it I'd gladly pay them! We love Mrs Browns in our house, like you say it can be rude but it isn't meant in a malicious way and it isn't usually violent, just very funny! I think most of us have a bit of Mrs Brown in us some just keep it hidden better than others!Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12545418260169484456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-51511880070418506542014-02-08T16:51:27.862+00:002014-02-08T16:51:27.862+00:00DH is a Mrs Brown fan; I also find it funny but it...DH is a Mrs Brown fan; I also find it funny but its one of those programmes I can take or leave so only bother watching if someone else has it on. Oh, I hate having to phone up trying to correct a company's mistakes, but my family listen in awe when I do because I always stand my ground when I know I'm in the right. I recently saved us money with Virgin Media when they were going to put our monthly price up. I threatened to go elsewhere since our contract had expired and we were only on a month by month deal. I actually got a reduction on our current deal rather than the increase, effective immediately so they gave me a refund on that month's payment as well. I saved us hundreds of £s last year renegotiating various insurances after checking price comparison sites. I might hate confrontation, but I'll take on anyone to save us money. I hope Neville's back will feel better soon, I'm sure all this wet weather doesn't help with aches and pains, both DH and I have been suffering with our knees lately.Helenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04963972925920465515noreply@blogger.com
