Hi there! nearly unhinged my jaw laughing reading Cooking While Drunk by celebrity chef Keith Floyd. Here's a short extract:CAKEPreheat oven to whatever seems appropriate. Get packet of cake mix. Try to focus on instructions on packet of cake mix. Hold a hand over one eye, so you stop seeing double. Ah! There you go. Gather ingredients. Realize that you don't have butter, decide that mashed potatoes has similar consistency. Realize that you have no milk, use beer. Realize you have no eggs, improvise egg substitute from wheat-bix soaked in milk. Shit. Looks like you did have milk, after all. Too late now. Attempt to grease a 30cm (12 in.) cake tin. Remember that you have no butter. Grease tin with garlic flavored stir-fry spray. Mix ingredients in what you hope is a bowl, then pour batter into tin. Cook until bored. Eat immediately, regret soon after, while on the toilet at 5am.I can't guarantee you'll be rolling on the floor laughing, but it should at least bring a smile on your lips. Take care, JF

Neand: I was more wondering if there was more of us over near me so that we could have a party ;D The real you, or the map you? Cause according to the map, you're somewhere waaaaaay up in Northern Ontario. Curling anyone? ;D At least you're on the map... I think I got too near a Black Hole and got sucked in at some point between the first and second map. Logical when you consider a parallel universe is more like my kind of place really. sheepie 2000 Posts! Congratulations young man.

Thanks gordiyo08 and tks bdc for posting. Heartwrenching ep... Compares favourably to like ep in Les Bleus. Superb acting... those of us who have lived (and died a little in the process) through nearly similar situations will see ourselves in Boni. Watching that ep was almost cathartic.

softfurbear: I see there aren't many of us TGODTers in Canada, I'm disappointed by that! No need to be MsVixen... there's plenty more... they're just not showing up on the map, that's all.

Morn/aft/eve/nite people of TGoDT, everything going according to plan? Good for you. softfurbear Thanks for the map... talk about patient... I hate to think how long it took you to put it all together. The pins showed up earlier... now they've gone... somewhere in cyberspace? One of the mysteries of IE. I Love Thore How was your trip? Got any pics to share? Was your boyfriend (we all know who ;D) waiting for you at the airport? We want details ;D ;D ;D. amber recovered yet? Hope the other Board is not giving you headaches. Take care sweetheart, JF. If momnoc were here she'd have all kinds of APBs out all over the place... But I'm not... so this will have to do: WE MISS YOU... a quick wave will suffice .

Hi Keith (aka bernatfan)! Words fail me to express how I felt when I saw all your pics gone... I can't thank you enough for everything you've done. Will you be hanging around? Sure hope so... JF Thank you carmelabcn for keeping us posted on everything that's happening with our boys and girls.

I have a bit of exciting news to share. A high school classmate of mine has published a book of poetry. On the cover is one of my photographs! I'm honored, proud, pleased, happy, excited all rolled into one. ;D Congratulations RESTENERGY!!! Wonderful news indeed!!! Such an electrifyingly stunning photograph, and one of my favourites. JF Fear not, we have ways of dealing with swollen heads... ;D

Hi there people! I had a great time on the snow-sculpture site. My camera did not enjoy the cold temp though... make that the batteries... but I did manage a few pics which I'll share later.
Ms Vixen Season 1 is coming to an end (1 or 2 eps left I think), so I'll keep watching Merlin.
Take care one and all, JF.

Welcome aboard Rumpltzr. Most of us here believe that a little craziness is quite healthy Keeping friends and family on their toes is excellent, particularly if they're ballet dancers ;D. We'll go with decent post for starters, but you'll soon see that prolific comes naturally. Bonjour sana. Nous avons tous, à un moment ou à un autre, été rivés à nos écrans à attendre la suite des aventures de Nuke. ATWT a définitevement marqué ce Forum. Mais ce Forum nous a ensuite fait découvrir d'autre séries. J'espère qu'il en sera de même pour toi. Tu te débrouilles très bien en anglais en passant. Au plaisir de te lire, JF.

Hi bernatfan. Thank you so much for keeping the fires burning. I decided to de-lurk to tell you how much I love this idea of yours of sharing your archives with us. I can't imagine the number of hours involved. Truly a labour of love. Thanks again, JF.

Sheesh, editing is hard when there is so much awesome! Masterful editing Aldi. I find myself rooting for Jenny and Marian, Katja and Ben, Ingo and Annette the way I once did for DeRo and that's all thanks to you. Can you imagine if you had edited out the Jenny/Marian scenes? I would have missed one of the most cruel lines ever IMO: "Love has an expiry date. Titles and success don't."

Aft/eve/nite/morn folks, I'll be heading out soon; going to visit the snow sculpture site in Jonquière. Mother Nature is on our side again this year... from cold to freezing cold... I'll post pics later this week. amber so the soup helped some? good to read. But the combination snow/rain can't be helping any. Be careful. We want you back to your healthy self soon. Re. the dog: I allow myself "blah " time every now and then. I find it helps me evacuate. ;D louisa ever been to those locations when filming was going on? Puzzlewood... lucky you... this is really my kind of place... Re. To Kill the King: They had me hooked until 4/5 minutes from the end... A few sentences from a tremulous-voiced Uther, and bingo, all of Morgana's pent up anger/hatred disappears (Merlin at his best could never have worked that kind of magic - more like a miracle really.) Maybe I'm not zen enough . I need a mantra... ;D

Sylvain je suis vraiment désolé pour toi. Réussis-tu à avoir une bonne nuit de sommeil de temps en temps au moins? Je ne sais pas si tu vas être à même d'accéder au site de télé-québec, mais un des reportages de l'émission Une pilule, une petite granule transmise hier traitait justement de l'insomnie. Tu es sans doute au courant de tout ce dont ils parlent... mais qui sait? J'aimerais avoir un mot ou deux à dire à propos de VL, mais mes neurones ne parviennent pas à tisser des phrases qui soient d'une quelconque cohérence. Désolé.

mycatfox I think it's pretty well up to the director and the actors to decide how far they are willing to go... so I can't see that being used as an excuse not to produce this play. But then again, you could be right. It might well have to do with the language. The playwright decided to use seventeenth century French (with a few concessions to modern day French): he used septente and not soixante-dix for example, which would be like saying seofontig instead of seventy. I knew what it meant because I once had a Calculus professor from Belgium and she used septente... to the best of my knowledge, nobody else talks like that. There's got to be at least one fringe theatre company in the Los Angeles area that produces gay-themed plays even if only once in a blue moon, no? Note that this is a first here. Still, we're hundreds of kilometers from major urban centres... with the region's 280,000 inhabitants spread over an area roughly 20 times the size of Los Angeles. But you're right though, things are changing. We've got ways to go yet, but we're getting there. Take care, JF

The show's second season hasn't started airing yet, but it's about to. There's a cover story about it in Israel's leading entertainment magazine that I was thinking about translating and posting here, but I didn't know whether people would be interested. It's an interview with the 4 actors who play the siblings. I know I'd love to read it. Maybe GayTime could post it in The Blog. Then we'd all get to see/read it. But I know translating is a pretty time-consuming endeavor. So you decide. I'm a gazillion kilometers away from any rumour mill, so I can't help you there. I thought I'd take a few of lines of your screen to explain why I so love Til the Wedding and The Ran Quadruplet. First and foremost: the actors; everything rings true. Second: the writing; ( assuming your translation is 100% accurate ;D) powerful without going overboard. The words have a real life sound to them. I or people I know would have talked like that in similar situations. Third: the age; I appreciate the fact these stories deal with older individuals, individuals I can relate to. There are LGBTs over 30 in real life ... yes indeed. Continue your exceptional work. Forever grateful, JF
