All Activity

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?

It;s one of them 12 volt thingies that ramp up to really high voltage but low amperage or sommat, no enough to kill em but give a hefty wack, still prefer a piece of 5.52mm lead Rog

Basket case

One tries to create a good impression and improve ones status on NS. Anybody can say crap ! Rog., if your'e gonna electrify, make sure it's about 50,000 volts.

Lion faeces? You’ve gone all posh since living in Lewes Barrie.

Very expensive and the scent has gone after the first rain shower, guy down the road tried it, he's now put electric wires on top of his fence like the farmers use to keep animals in the fields Rog

I used to use a child’s super soaker water gun to discourage a neighbour’s dog that kept coming up the drive.

Get yerself a very large, hungry savage dog Rog. Edit. I read somewhere that if you could get a dollop of lion faeces and spread that around, it would solve the problem.

I know it was, hence the clapping and shouting all night comment, they are a pain in the ar$e though Rog

It was something of a jest PF

It’s strange because we’ve got two cats and the people whose gardens that back onto our orchard have six cats amongst them and we never have any cat problems. I have a large ginger cat purring on my knee as I type (with difficulty!)

And then they come back and crap on the garden again unless you want to wait outside all day and night clapping and shouting, I'm afraid it's gone beyond that Brew, Rog
