Thank you kind sir. Price? Immaterial, but out of interest... Hi Roy, I have only got the better 5mm thick mats as I found the thinner type a bit cheap and nasty. It will £5.95 plus postage Thanks Dave

Sounds good to me, can you include my FMS disk with it, please? How do you want paying?
(Still struggling with Windoze XP: it seems that SP3 is too advanced for my version of Boot Camp, I'm either going to have to copy the files and delete the one that causes Windoze to crash, or pay up for Snow Leopard. The troubles that Microsoft can cause with such a good OS!)

Yes, quite right Les. Although the banana is botanically classified as a berry, it is also a distant cousin to ginger, turmeric, and cardamom. Bananas are the world's best-selling fruit, outranking the apple and orange.
There are over four hundred varieties of bananas with the yellow Cavendish being the most favoured. Although referred to as banana trees, they are not trees at all but a perennial herb. Its trunk is not a true one, but many leaves tightly wrapped around a single stem which emerges at the top as the fruit-bearing flower stalk.
I beg to differ with regards to the jam making. I have used this recipe to great effect and taste, please try it.
4 lbs. peeled bananas (6 med.) 1 1/4 c. water 4 lemons 7 c. sugar
Slice the bananas and place in a cooking pan with water. Cut the lemons in half, squeeze out the juice and add it to pan. Slice the lemon rind and pith, tie it loosely in a muslin bag and add it to the pan. Add the sugar, bring to a boil, stirring. Then simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Cover the pan with a clean tea towel and let set overnight. Next day, bring to a boil again and boil the jam rapidly until setting point is reached. Remove the muslin bar. Pour the hot jam into hot clean jars and seal.
Make sure the jars are sterile though! Enjoy.

My favourite bananas are Senoritas which you get in Tagaytay in the Philippines, they are very plump and tiny, about the size of my thumb and are intensely sweet.

i have just been round to my local model shop and got buy one get one half price blade mcx and a bnf blade msr for £150.00 the mcx is a very easy helicopter to fly the msr single blade is a lot faster and more of a challenge so what I'm saying is those of you that have the mcx go out and buy the msr it can even be flown outdoors not really recommended in doors as its very fast i think smc are selling it for £89.99 bnf
