“We send our warmest greating to the people of Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Formosa! May the sun shine upon you!”

They’ll know what we mean 😉

This would not be a reference to lighting up a nuclear dawn for them courtesy of one of our boomers would it?

Andy I could not agree more with your post. I pray that your son survives unscathed in mind and body and returns safely to you! They are the true heroes with evry footstep they take in that Country!!!!!!

Yes our cat puked up all over my side of the bed this morning!
My wife said the cat looked sad and promptly fed it!

Would I get away with that, not very likely! The cat is now sleeping on another bed and I am sleeping on a towel to prevent me getting wet from a scrubbed mattress.

I don’t know why he took his own life it seemed to me he had everything to live for. Just shows that you can not go by appearances.

My thoughts are with those he has left behind and I hope they can come to terms with this horrible tradgedy.

Last I heard he escaped and got a job as a Parking Warden at Waverley Borough Council!:)

Three minutes to nine tonight the door bell goes(bearing in mind the house is in darkness my wife and cat are asleep in bed and I am typing by the light of the computer screen) I poke my head out of the bedroom window and ask “who is it”? The answer came from a spotty youth in a knitted wooly hat.”Hi my name is Midge or Mitch from the Childrens Society!” Apart from telling him we don’t want any children the rest of my reply is not fit for the forum. They are still wandering up and down the road now 21.10 according to my wife who is now wide awake.

I feel an email to the Childrens Society coming on!

The Government threw a lot of fine aircraft away and I wish they hadn’t!

But to answer Jims point, yes all the time. It is a case of the longer you have had it as soon as you junk it it will be needed in short order.

Today was a classic example. Last month I threw away a dozen or so kettle leads leaving myself with one. I needed to defrost the freezer today and I use a wallpaper stripper for this(They tell you don’t do this but I tend not to recognise the word “don’t”)
The kettle lead for this needs a cut out so that it fits the socket on the steamer. Yes you guessed it. I spent half an hour filing a slot into the lead and cutting away the rubber surround so that I could jam it all together.

Any white star liner can sail past my kitchen in perfect safety now and my wife can knock that job of the ever growing list to keep me entertained!!!!!!!

Nice car, lots of gadgets I trust? 😀

Yes lots of gadgets,I am still trying to get my head around some of them(no drivers handbookwith the car)
Two nice touches that I have never encountered before. One when you turn the ignition on it does a systems check and will tell you if there is a fault and what it is.(and how much petrol to the nearest tenth of a litre is left!)
Two it has three sun visors one each for the driver and passenger and a small one in the middle above the rear view mirror. Well thought out I think.
