  1. #84. I'll probably get locked up for this, but I am reminded of a joke I heard well over 50 years ago: A black man was walking with his young lad. Dad. Why have we got such long legs? Son, its so that we can run quickly away from the wild animals. Dad. Why have we got such long arms? Son, its from when we used to swing from one tree to another. Dad. Why is our skin so dark? Son, it because of the searing hot sun that beats down on us all day. Dad. What are doing living on St Ann's Well Road?

  3. A grim story Gem. I sincerely hope things get better. On a lighter note.. in retrospect this is funny.. though it wasn't at the time... I've been known to suffer from the odd dose of the 'Nobby Stiles' in my time, though mercifully not for some years. Around ten years ago I had a 'flare up' and got the usual stuff from the Doc, confident I'd be 'sorted' n a day or so. Several days later I was even worse and the Doc gave me a different medication. Several days later I was crawling around the house as I couldn't walk. I ca

  4. Trying to repair some of the gaps left by Photobucket, I came across this, which includes two Trents, a Barton, and a Midland General.

  5. Well, Norman the teddy bear had a good wash yesterday and he is now moaning about being soaking wet! I don't know - you can't please some, can you?! I will have to rehang the little bogger to get him dry - only this time it will be on a radiator and not a rafter in the ceiling. Once he's dry he will definitely have to go on some sort of reshaping regime to try and regain some kind of normal posture.

  6. #80 My dear young man Mrs C does what we all do and that is humour you and then go off and do what we intended to do all the time.

  8. A number of people were distraught at the sight of the teddy bear that was hanging in my big shed in a recently posted photo. After much thought, I came to the decision that since he has been hanging in my shed for 25yrs and for many years before that in Chorley Little Theatre props store, it was time to release him. Last night I cut him down and he is now sitting patiently in the utility room awaiting a much needed wash. He sends his thanks to you all for showing concern and forcing my hand in his release.

  9. That's a good one. The Barton would have been on route 12 to Leicester. Re Photobucket, this is photo missing from #137: And this is from #135:

  10. When I were a kid in Nottinam in the 1950s they used ter say: "Don't go down St Anne's alone, y'll get robbed - it's the capital of Jamaica." Obviously total rot but that's how it was seen by some.

  12. You're right, poor lad needs all the support he can get. However, it looks to me as though he needs some exercise in view of the state of his belly !

  14. Blimey Kath, let him have a bit of freedom. He's been hanging around for 25 years, the last thing that the poor beggar needs is more neck restrictions !

  16. Exactly Compo. I actually voted to remain, purely on the 'Better the devil you know ' basis, and personal convenience when travelling abroad, but immediately the referendum was over, I wholeheartedly threw myself into the Brexit camp. My desire to leave is based purely on the fact that I want the UK to make its own rules / laws etc, and not be ruled by Brussels, Strasbourg or The Hague. EU immigration doesn't overly concern me. It's the rest of the world I don't want here ! Also, I've never got to grips with centimetres, metres, kilometres, litres etc. Remember, we fought two worl
