While at skool I hated any exercise that involved running. I would always come last on a cross-country run, fifty yards and I was knackered. The PE teacher at the time must have been a sadist, he knew very well I would be coming in last but he still insisted on sending me out there with the rest of the boys. I say sadist because I reckon he got some sort of a kick out of kicking my arse when I got back, slipper was the preferred punishment by him, I only wish I knew his name, wouldn’t mind paying him a visit. As I have said before I loved playing tennis but never got the chance to play it

Been there done that and don’t give a dam for the future, as long as I can do what I need to do without feeling ill while doing it I see no need to take extra exercise. I too when I moved to Sawley had to change my doctors or as its called these day health centre, had the mandatory health check, blood pressure ok, urine sample ok, weight a little heavy for my age and height, she said according to her health chart I fell into the obese category, as soon as I disrobed and dropped to one knee and did what Conan the barbarian did she came over all faint, needless to say I passed with flying colou

Hi Paulus its nice to talk to you. I only use the royal ‘we’ when I need a pee in the early hours like this morning at five thirty or when out dancing with tich, she’s such a snob. Romney Marsh in Kent hey! You don’t happen to know Hearne Bay do you? I spent nine lovely days last year [or was it this year] down there parked up just off the main promenade north end. I was down there seeing a lady I met on the internet, needless to say the relationship went tits up after she refuse to see me after a little understanding, contrary to belief it wasn’t sexual just something I did, the Scots can

I have a library ticket taken out years ago, do I use it bu99er I don’t, reason being I don’t have any spare time to travel to a library or come to that read a sodding book for hours on end, I have always something to do during the day, before some of you remind me of what I have said in some of my blogs I do have time some days to visit my local library but to tell you frankly I just can’t be arsed, all my knowledge which there is very little of comes from doing a job and by making mistakes, in my book that’s the way one learns, never be frightened to make mistakes that’s what life’s all abou

My referral to a wheelbarrow I thought was a logical one to the predicament of taking out so many books if at that time one could have lent that amount from a library. The referral to Janet and John books in this case was aimed at my reading matter at this present time. If you recall I did mention in an earlier post and on another topic that at the moment I’m presently reading the Janet and John series……. apologies will be accepted accompanied by a crisp new fifty pound note... Bip.

One could have if one used your garden wheel barrow. I doubt very much if there are 24 books to the Janet and John series...? Bip.

No matter which way one turns there’s a poppy seller more or less on every high street corner in Long Eaton, maybe a little over the top but they are out there you just have to know where there’re hiding, mainly just inside the supermarkets foyer positioned just to the right of the hot air blowers. When I and me mum sold them at Bracebridge shops back in the late 50s we stood on one corner adjacent to Marston or was it Farands in all weathers, they were the days when every shop on the high street had a collection box on their counter these days one very really espies one and if one does it’s

As a young un you couldn't keep me off a bike and i rode to and from work for twelve years in all weathers too. i wasn't one of these fine weather cyclist, i carried at all times a puncture outfit for those times when things went a little flat. Bip.

One doesn’t have to go much further than this forum for a laugh, best daily chuckle ever…. especially when the jokes come from a certain old fart who I must say does well considering he doesn’t have a sense of humour and thinks by bringing up the past will in some way alter my present situation. Up yours Casy Jones. Bip.

On holiday watching Fawlty Towers? must have been a spellbinding place to spend ones holiday, you must tell me where you went so I can make a point of not going! Bip.

I reckon I can get by without knowing besides who the heck cares.... Bip.

Delivery drivers who have their hazard lights on while parked infront of another vehicle making it look like to a driver who's approaching that they are wanting to pull out. Idiots who while parked for whatever reason on the side of the road you're on facing one with headlights on Bip.

Bog rolls put on the holder the wrong way!... Bip.

I remember paddling in said pool and swimming in said Lido, these days the only time the paddling pool has water in it is when it's been raining, am i right in thinking the paddling pool was fed by the Tottle brooke? Bip.

Is it electric or steam powered? My son has just bought another petrol powered airplane, second hand of course. He flew it for the first time last weekend and did a pretty good job of the lift off and landing, his friend who has been flying model planes for ages has got through five planes this year alone, everyone has nose dived into the ground. He thinks the cause of the problem is interference from the new station at Parkway. My son has changed his operation wave length and so have many others that use the grass runway and now they have no problems apart from his mate who hasn't. Bip.

Us ex-Chilwell folk are like that......................I was going to suggest bringing any wood around here for disposal on me bon fire pire.... Bip.

That’s most considerate of you Red but I do ask questions in some of my Blog posts, then suppose I ask for whatever I get posted back. I’ve come to accept now that certain people no matter how much I asks them not to will post replies, maybe I should refrain from asking questions, seems the logical thing to me to do but I’ve come to enjoy some but not all retorts, I’ve even get a cheep thrill out of some of them, maybe not a normal reaction for some people but I find them reassuringly amusing and comforting. Bip.

Still reading the Janet and John books Bip.

For the first six months of my retirement I played nothing but games on my sons then new Play station one. When he got married he took it with him so I was left with no choice but to buy a play station two if I wanted to carry on with wasting my days, they had stopped making the play station one by then. I was really into Abe’s Exoddus and Oddysee but soon after that Tomb Raider took over as my favourite game and I too became addicted to solving the problems she had to accomplish before one could move onto the next level. Now I very rarely play games, my son has now the PS2 that he has had f

As one can see from the date on the picture it was last Saturday Pete….. That particular picture was taken while I was sitting on the down side of a concrete road bridge the track runs under said bridge. This one of said engine is taken from across the tracks on the road opposite, you can I think make out the wall I was sitting on to take the first picture it’s the arched wall. I wish now I had gone on the station but tich was left in the van alone with Diezel for company. I have always had a soft spot for trains, I use to train spot at the Victoria station as well as Midland station and a

Without giving to much away but i reckon i have already name the loco....picture was taken at Holyhead on Anglesey......? would that be Rob 6233 getting in on the picture? Bip.

Getting back on track my mum every year got eggs thrown at her windows and yes they are hard to clean off once dried, is there a solution to that problem of removal ? Bip.

The segment is that short it was over before I knew what hit me.....me thinks link is caput meduk. Bip.

And not forgetting the damage they do to the pavement slabs which have to be replaced or in most cases now tarmaced. Bip.

Look behind the front door Mick you might had once used it to keep the dam thing ajar or it could be under the dining room table leg or even under one corner of the shed you said some months ago that you were raising.... Bip.
