  1. Waitress...hmm...I tried that once when I was about 19...thankless job.  thumbsdown Actually I was a leasing agent for several years then I switched gears into construction after my father died, as he was a real estate developer, I wanted to do something more like him.  B) Just in case you're wondering, I've never lived off of the government or anyone else, unless of course you count my husband! I am a stay home mom of three kids because I think kids should be brought up by their parents, not a day care provider. You may call me a loser or waitress or anything else you find degrading if it makes you feel better about yourself. smile2

    And Robin, try Kewlbox.com if you like silly games. There's one I like called "Spank the Frank", Frank is a penguin and you're one of Santa's elves. You whack the "Frank" in the bum off a cliff and try to land him in a flying basket. If you buy the upgraded version, you also get to do the same to Anna Nicole Smith! Quite funny!!

    And waitress's work damned hard, especially if they have to deal with miserable sods all day long!

    I still don't think FC is as old as he claims... Just a first class windup merchant...

    I agree about waitresses, I lasted 2 weeks at that job! I have a lot of respect for them, there are so many complainers out there!

    Also, I agree about Flat Cap, I still believe he's another member just having a go at us! I know he's just trying to wind me up along with others, I just like correcting him, wind him up too! smile2

    I'm with you dear, he calls it "constructive criticism" when there is in fact nothing constructive about it. To construct is to build, to make better. What he says is "destructive criticism". But I must say, he is fun to have a go at!! And seeing how he's turned out should make you happy to be you!! ;)

  4. Robin, you need to lighten up, don't be so angry!! Look at where that anger got Flat Cap! I personally think older people are a kick!! Even when the stories are boring, I can't help but smile while they're telling them because they have so much interest in enlightening young people to how it used to be. And I actually find it quite humorous to see older people protecting their bag or purse like it's full of diamonds and you're the masked bandit!! Keep in mind also, with old age your eyesite goes (which would explain the overly cautious behavior) along with other ailments. Just have some patience and learn to see the lighter side of things! You want to really throw them off? Educate yourself to their type of music and talk to them about it...they will show you an all new very unexpected respect!! All through the ages, no older person has ever approved of the music young people listen to, it's part of life, don't feel so insulted. Come on, I know there's a respectful young man in there somewhere, you're not a teenager anymore, it's time to start seeing things as an adult!! I'm not trying to disrespect you, I just want you to open your eyes... bighug

  5. That was part of one of my hints...

    English law prohibited people of his occupation to advertise, so he took a pen name...

    real name: James Alfred Wight (Alf Wight)

    pen name: James Herriot (Herriot chosen because he was impressed by the performance of a Scottish goalkeeper named Jim Herriot who played for Birmingham City against Manchester United!) B)

  6. Thanks for that Ayup, I'll let my mom know as she is the one who has the original 78. It would be nice to hear him sing CLEARLY! He never sung for my sister and I in person, he was too embarassed, but he was singing with a trio in a club in Los Angeles when my mom met him. It's always the singer that gets the girl!! ;)

  7. Uncle Fester was played by Jackie Coogan, I was madly in love with his son Chris Coogan which I went to high school with! We were good friends, but unfortunately he wasn't interested in me THAT way. :( I never met his Dad, he had died a few years before I met Chris. Chris died in a motorcycle accident at 22 before there was a helmet law in California, very sad...

  8. My Daddy used to be a singer and my Mom has an album he made on 78! He sounded just like Sinatra, but I guess he just didn't know the right people. There were many guys back then that sounded like Sinatra though!! I had never even heard of 78's until she showed me that! :Fool:
