Evening all. Thanks Paul for your concern–and all the rest of you too. I really appreciate your concern and I’m moved that despite our sometimes differences, you followed up where I’ve been. Gary (Trumper) was kind enough to let me know about this thread.
Yes, I’m still alive but the old darkness descended on me early in August and I haven’t had much to say recently. I think I’m on the mend a bit now. One day at a time–good days and bad.
I’ll rejoin the fray soon.

Andy.

All the above hand wringing about Royal Air Force bomber Command (of which I am a very staunch supporter incidentally) have nothing in the way of effect on me when compared with the sentence which contains the following words: ‘Field Marshall Douglas Haig–butcher–donkeys–slaughter–lions–loss of innocence, etc etc.
Please add your own words linking those above.
I fully expect a gut full of this in the next 18 months as the ‘experts’ crawl out from behind the skirting board to pass judgement on the events of 1914-1918.

Sorry to hear that Gary.

A FREE cuppa from YOU Andy, that’s worth getting out of Hospital ASAP if nothing else 😀

I rest my case. The last time I was this generous was the jubilee, the silver one in 1977.
You might have to wait a long time for my next outburst of generosity if you miss this one…!

Friends, someone to love, good health.
The rest doesn’t matter.

I speak from experience.

Only just caught this thread.
Jim, see at OW soon. the next lot of Teas are on me.
You’ll have to remind me though, as I have a very selective memory when it comes to spending money…

Be safe.
Andy.

Well, it looks like it’s Random Friday

Moggy

We’ll see.
Personally I’m willing to see where this goes.
It can’t be any worse than the usual rubbish about global warming, Uncle Nigel and the EU, and why the yanks continue to slaughter each other by the score, that you get on here.
I wonder if ‘amanda’ will enlighten us further….?

Have a good one boy.
See you soon.
Andy.
