Don’t tell me…he has got a dog called w*g.

Mark

In the film, it will be “Wag”. :diablo:

Blimey, where do I start?

Having a small bottle of milk (with straw!) at school during the morning break.

Catching tadpoles and newts in the local pond (now long-gone).

Going shopping with Mum, and getting a reward of a Dinky toy or an Airfix kit from Woolworths for helping her carry the bags.

Here’s a Youtube linky which no doubt a lot of us old(er) ones will relate to:

Richard Digance – 200 Remembers

Don

War Horse
Great film, great story and some excellent special effects.
There were times in the movie where I appeared to have something in my eye… 10/10

The Woman In Black
Horror starring Daniel Radcliffe as a young lawyer who travels to a remote village, where he discovers that a vengeful ghost is terrorising the locals.
Not too scary, although there are some “jump” moments. 9/10

ppp – Nice “CATs”, but I prefer the four-legged variety… 😀

Daz – It seems your Toots and my “Soots” share a similar sort of madness:

Taken a few days ago, Sooty decided to help my partner and I when we worked on my model railway.
Sooty “guards” my cable dispenser, just in case 1:76 scale metal fairies are watching.
Very tiring, this Security lark… 😀

Garyw and waco – Glad to hear that Annie and Charlie are both OK.

Flygirl – Your black cat is lovely; I particularly like the lighting on the second photo.

Dr Strangelove – I’ve seen that already, on several other Forums.
I shan’t repeat what I’ve already said about this so-called “artist”… 😡

If you have the time, and are armed with a little knowledge of the Bible, you can have fun with Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Sadly, we don’t get many of them around here these days, but they make excellent sport, almost as good as telephone cold-callers! :diablo:

‘It was funny when Peter Sellers did it but yours is rubbish.’

Stuart H – I like that one! 😀

My favourite for cold-callers (double glazing salesmen, etc.), is: “Hang on a sec – I’ll just get a pen & paper.”

My current record for leaving them hanging is 46 minutes. :diablo:

EDIT:
Autostick,
There is a whole thread on The Other Forum (PPRuNe) titled Pesky Nigerian Scammers.

I’ve had several such calls over the last fortnight, three in one day.

Of the three, I ‘played’ the first two to such an extent that the first gave up after half an hour, the second I pretended to be an IT Support chap and told them in no uncertain terms that I knew what their game was, the third, when they mentioned “computer” and “error messages” I yelled at them to Foxtrot Oscar with such volume that it brought my neighbour rushing round (she thought I’d fallen!).

The last one was yesterday (29th); I managed to keep the muppet running in circles for almost an hour.
Finally, I pretended to “cave in”, and asked him for the website.
He gave me the URL, which I typed in on my partner’s laptop (switched off).
I said, “My antivirus system has flagged it. It says ‘This website is suspicious.'”
“Oh, you need to turn off your antivirus program and firewall, if you have one, Sirr.”
At this point I told HIM to F.O., after giving my thoughts on his parentage…

Some may see this as a waste of time; I see it as a service to others.
The longer I can keep them tied-up wasting time with me, the less likely they are to find someone who might actually fall for this stuff.
