Was Bob Marley and his band there?

It's a baleencing act and if you keep on with these fishy tails you'll soon have me blubbering...

Whale meet again? Don’t know where ………

Whale burgers on sale at Greggs Rog

Everyone will be having a whale of a time!

BK, looking at what comes out of the other end of the dirty little b£$%^ds I 's rather be a veggie, CT thats the one, quite a bit going on in Newark this weekend Rog

This seems to be the same whale........ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-68890880

Cats...Back in1944, whilst in France my dad used to eat 'em Rog.

Fine morning in Newark, busy market with plenty of stalls which is always nice to see, a strange thing on the market was this giant ironically next to the fresh fish van . sommat to do with save the whales I think unless we had one hell of a storm last night it got washed up from Skegness, Lovely walk in the sunshine around the castle garden before the clouds took over Mrs P among the tulips Shed time now so catch you all later Rog

Might give them a try Mrs B, thanks for the info Rog

After 5 days of Man Flu I was well enough this morning for a 20 min ride and 20 min row on the indoor machines. Still congested but rowing soon clears it up. Re cats - oddly enough I like our 2 cats. Big Samson and sleek Panto. Big Samson is my mate and I protect him from Patch our Jack Russell. We spend a fortune on them in vet fees etc., in fact Panto cost us £1400 for hip surgery after he was run over. As long as we have them they will receive our care and attention - I just wish that we did not have them.

Ref unwanted cats in gardens has anyone tried one of these metal cat scarers ? I have them at the allotment and they seem to work ! I did test one on my cats and they ran off so worth a go. Amazon have them.

Now thats what you call a ''COLLAR''.......... Could have somebodys eye out with that.........

Pubs certainly attract a larger ‘congregation’ than most churches these days. I only go to my local pub once a week for a ‘religious experience’. I did put £14.70 into the collection. Part of that was giving unto others. A pint of beer is approaching the price of a bottle of communion wine!

I have said before on here that one of the reasons I left the UK in 1975 was the absolute stupidity and sheer bloody mindedness of the leading trade unions at the time. I was never a real supporter of them as I saw what they did in the auto and the coal industries. Here I am 50 years on and am a staunch advocate of sensible and properly led unions. I watch with amazement at how 14 years of Conservative governments has progressively destroyed the very fabric of the UK for its political mates. Australia went down the same track with the Liberal/National (Conservative) coalition forming gove

Last time I was back in Nottingham we went to the Pitcher and Piano. I was very surprised with what it was like inside and I must say it is a better use of the building than what it was originally used for.

Glad it's the weekend. I'm off for a bottomless brunch at Pitcher and Piano today with my old work friends. Thoroughly looking forward to it. Hoping it stays dry!

Good frost again this morning at 05.45 but cleared away nicely by 07.15, off to Newark in a bit so catch you all later have a great day everyone Rog

It's now 00.15 and only my moniker is showing on 'who's online', so I'll say good night and God Bless to anyone who tunes in. XX

Spectacle case

Case Dismissed

That's the irony of it.

Anyroad to get back on topic, today I went to the nearest petrol station (Hykeham A46) to fuel up the car, had a coffee when I got back then decided to wash the car, something therapeutic about washing the car, ran out of car shampoo so had to use next best thing which was Radox Bath Soak, I now have a very relaxed car, the monthly local magazines were delivered to me when I was doing the car and looking at the local weather forecast for tomorrow (I usually deliver the mags on a Saturday) it said heavy rain/showers so decided to deliver them today, 45 copies the other end of the village 40 min

First catch your lion, but will you not be swapping one sort for another?
