    Ah well you’re from Wednesfield and thus easily amused.;)

    Ahem, we share a border and theres a bus outside my house that crosses it every 10 minutes you know!! Ya Varlet!

    I have, sadly yet to visit Alrewas. Feel guilty as I pass it on a regular basis on the way to Donington Park or my brothers. It seems to be on Midlands Today every other week. I MUST make the effort to visit. I mean, I go to Cosford at least 6 times a year. Staffs museum (Whittington?) is again somewhere I passed as a delivery driver but never stopped. Again, not very far and another guilty omission from my museum visits.

    Went on HMS Sceptre at 1979 Plymouth Navy Days. Armed Gurads standing around covered up computers! Was given a souvenier by one of the officers. They showed me how the waste compressor worked. Grabbed a pop can out the mess and put it in this contraption. whoosh. Now wafer thin. COOOLL! especially when you were 12!! Still got it. Its in the loft. Never part with it!!

    Used to be the home of the RN mothballed subs. Have been there many times and Haslar/ Cousin lives in Gosport and always make a point of visiting. And yes, it is VERY claustrophobic!! Well worth making time for this.

    I predicted 1-1 for the convicts to retain the ashes mainly down to our weather! I’m half way there! I know Brett Lee being injured is good for England, but I love watching him bowl. He enjoys every second of it. The mans exciting to watch, just a pity we will have to wait a bit longer.

    Not today but Wednesday. Scratty little bint yakking her head off during the 2 minutes silence at my Nephew’s freedom of the city parade in Brum. Didn’t just want to swear… I wanted to grab Lee’s SA80 and run the bayonet through the silly cow. 😡

    Watching my muppet of a 14yr old daughter and her 2 mates taking one of her hamsters for a walk on a lead!! Yes…. a hamster. I thought the rabbit leads were daft enough….. but hamsters?!!

    Forgot about the park!! Think I’ll do both, depending on direction of arrival and departure. I just really like the view from Catherine De Barnes Lane, being in a slightly elevated position. Sounds like a plan.
