  1. Talking of odd-bods, did anyone see the 24 Hrs in A&E tonight, from QMC and filmed last summer? The bloke who took his parrot into hospital with him was (and may still be) a regular in our little local, Doctors Orders. We’ve gone in there and seen the parrot sitting on a table with his attention-seeking owner offering the poor bird beer and nibbles. Seen him around quite a lot, weirdo.
  2. 1959 Mary, I was there too.
  3. Very sad. I’m sure I saw recently that he was touring this year. Whenever I hear ‘Make Me Smile’ I’m reminded of a funeral of one of our employees, aged only 52 (20 years ago) who was so well known and liked, certainly in our industry. There was a massive funeral in Sedgefield Parish Church, followed by a cremation. His wife was on the wacky baccy outside the Crematorium and had to be gently encouraged to follow the coffin into the building, followed by all the other mourners. She went dancing in, waving her arms about and singing to the sound of Steve Harley’s ‘Make Me Smile’ that was b
  4. Thankyou Bournemouth! We were out for dinner and turned the car radio on when Luton were 3-0 up and only just heard that WONDERFUL Bournemouth scored 4 by the final whistle. Forest live to fight another day.
  5. The season’s finished for Notts, so long as they stay up then there’s always next year.
  6. My husband has had a circulation Booster machine for a few years, I think it’s a Revitive (green and white in colour). It seemed to help initially but now even if it’s on the maximum setting it has no effect at all. However, when I’ve tried it I could fly up and hit the ceiling on a high setting. His circulation problem must be too severe to be improved. Just one of his problems though!
  7. Agree Phil, in fact I haven’t a clue the names of the Cabinet and Shadow Cabinet these days! Might be because years ago the top politicians were a lot older than us and were people to look up to and believe in. BUT …… we think we’ve got problems, the United States has possibly a bigger issue in November!
  8. Bit ominous but hopefully he and Barbara are away on a wine tour with a daily afternoon tea dance.
  9. A very good friend of mine, a retired GP, fell while carrying a glass when she was 2 years old and lost an eye, it must have been horrendous for her parents. For 75 years she’s had a variety of glass eyes and had a very active life, running marathons, paddling rivers and canals and acting as official doctor on an Everest expedition, whilst bringing up 4 brilliant kids. She once told me she takes her eye out when on a long-haul flight, must be a bit of a shock to anyone sitting nearby!
  10. Personally, since the internet was ‘invented’ 30 odd years ago I’ve not read many books, but I read on line content all day long, as well as the daily paper that we still have delivered. Neither have I been a library member since I was a kid. Two of my good friends studied Librarianship at University and I have 3 other friends who have spent their entire working life in libraries. They’re all retired now but I wonder whether Librarianship is still offered as a degree course. I can understand why the City Council are closing libraries to save money, although there are other facilities in the
  11. Absolutely @Brew he lent me his Biography a few years ago, wonderfully written and so very interesting. Lovely man.
  12. Talking of Alberts, I wonder how our dear Albert Smith is doing, such a lovely man (and his wife Barbara) still enjoying his tea dances and wine club and an authority on the railways. He used to get into town for the meet-ups but the last time he attended was at the Lime Kiln before Covid. If you’re reading this Albert, we miss you.
  13. I’m rather envious @MRS B, I could do with a bit of warm sunshine. Enjoy your vacation!
  14. Stacking the dishwasher proves to be a challenge in this house, I always have to re-arrange everything ……. he just hasn’t got the hang of it after all these years. I never say anything, but just deal with it, otherwise he’d give up even trying to clear up!
  15. The sleet and rain delayed my trip into town yesterday (Friday) but will try to come and say hello today Mr Engineer
