(no subject)

Another tummy upset - this time with cramping pains as the main symptom. My doctor has diagnosed a bowel infection (now passing), and told me take things easy for a bit, and go back next week if it's not much better. I'm just off to bed, but healing thoughts, hugs etc will all be welcome.

Dinner party

If I had a dinner party, and could invite eight living famous people, they would be:
David Gower
Brian May
Nicole Kidman
Al Stewart
Christopher Tolkien
Lois Bujold
Rory Underwood
Lenny Henry

(Yes, I know that's not very well-balanced; maybe I'd invite their patners as well).

And if I could invite eight dead people, they would be:
JRR Tolkien
Donald Bradman
James Stewart
Roy Chadwick
The Beowulf poet
Earl Beorhtnoth
Mahatma Gandhi
Laura Ingalls Wilder

Any other lists?

1990s TV Programme

I'm trying to identify a TV programme. It was for older children, and was on sometime in the period 1997-2000 - probably towards the end of that time. It was about a family where the adults occasionally acted like children.

Can anyone help me identify this, and possibly even say who might have starred in it?

Thanks
