  What's a fighback, Sequin? Is it related to a thighback I wonder?

  Sequin, its the final thigh back, sigh back, high back....
  
  Out there, crow black, men
  Tackled with clouds, who kneel
  To the sunset nets,
  Geese nearly in heaven, boys
  Stabbing, and herons, and shells
  That speak seven seas,
  Eternal waters away
  From the cities of nine
  Days' night whose towers will catch
  In the religious wind
  Like stalks of tall, dry straw,
  At poor peace I sing
  To you strangers.......
  
  Oh, there's lovely look you.

  I'm still not convinced that Evan is heavyweight enough for the Today programme.
  
  He seemed to miss several opportunities with Douglas Alexander this morning - which I'm sure Carolyn or Eddie would have tackled.
  
  At one stage Douglas said that under Labour in the past decade there had been 16 quarters of growth. Does this not also equate to 24 quarters of decline?

  I should add that Evan is a brilliant commentator with a fabulous face and smile.

  Oddly, I find it very easy to picture Sequin as an 80's rock groupie chick...
  
  In that same picture I see Eddie in a chunky knitted sweater listening quietly to his Tony Bennett LPs.

  Sequin, we only seem to have had one Newsletter in May - last Thursday! - Don't forget will you.
  
  Big Sis - not sure whether it's relevent - but Norton and McAffee seem to always cause me grief - so just tried Live One care from MS which has really speeded things up - as well as isolating some spyware. It's also cheaper than most of the others. AFG is reasonable - especially the free edition.

  Thanks, Jonnie, for those tips. Btw, nice to see you - you've been rather quiet lately.
  
  DiY Your sun may have its hat on, but its pretty cloudy down here. Hope Molesworth's anorak is drying well.

  Big sis, try zone labs. I converted to this from AVG. More cos its spyware and firewall as well as virus. Free version does less but I pay as its a work system it protects. One PC I had with Norton on had to be re formatted to remove it so am less of a fan of this antiviral option.

  Stewart: Thanks for your suggestion too. Fred has pointed out that I should have access to free stuff as a customer of Botswanian Telecommunications (!) though I seem unable to access the little blighters. Looks like I'll have to find a few quiet minutes to tackle this more seriously as my Frank Norton sub runs out in the next few hours ....

  Sir Cliff Richards was lucky not to win so UK reputation didn't fall to the floor... but have you seen the Spanish song for the 2008 contest? If they win... is the end of the Eurovision Contest!

  Am I the only person who has never installed an anti-virus program and has never had a viral attack? I think AOL provides something for me.

  DMcN @ 27, so do I, but there isn't a 'next' at the top of this particular page, only a 'main' and a 'previous'. This has been happening at intervals for some weeks now: a thread from which one can go back but not forward, or forward but not back, and once I think a thread one could only reach by going back to it via 'previous' but not from 'main' or 'next', according to which it didn't exist.
