The neck’s probably too narrow!

This is creepy. I’ve just had a buying suggestion from Amazon. A t-shirt with the slogan “Never underestimate an old man with a Mercedes Benz”.

Well I'm just looking at 25 acres of it from my landing window. It's only a relatively recent crop around here. It's generally beet for Newark sugar factory, potatoes for Walker's crisps, barley for the breweries and oilseed rape. I did see a field of blue flax nearby last week which looked most attractive.

The simple country folk round here practice ancient black arts. Its probably some fertility rite to encourage growth. There's certainly a fine crop of maize in the field over the lane. Don't suppose a few cobs will be missed.

He's still changing his pants!

Nippon no. That's an Ant - Ihistamine

Antihisan! Not likely. He'll be sitting on the kamikaze all night!

I think he ought to be bonsaid.

I've got a black belt in origami!

LOL

It’s quite hilly around that part of North Wales. Don’t go if you need to be on the flat. Very scenic though.

My last car, F Type, didn’t have them and prior to that neither did my 911. Now I drive an old man’s car I need all the help I can get!

I didn’t pee on it, I tripped over it!

When I was out on a cross country run over the fields in Bulwell back in my days at Mellish, a guy with me peed on an electric fence (God knows why!) He got a terrible surprise!

So that's what it was!

Pleased to see it back. Thanks to whoever sorted it!

I've just discovered, whilst dropping down a gear on the hill into the village, the flappy paddles on my latest car are marked in Braille! The left has an indent and the right has a pimple. Are modern cars now designed to be driven by the partially sighted?

I agree. The lack of public toilets in the city centre is a disgrace. Don't the City Council recognise the need? Why should shops and pubs have to provide facilities for all and sundry?

Yes, that’s me. There’s also a reference to our crew winning the Butcher Cup. My miniature trophy still sits gleaming on my study shelf. The only trophy I ever won!

Sorry to hear that Margie but it might bring back a few happy memories and cheer him up.

Actually Loppy you will see pictures of your father in law Bob McCandles if you wade through these mags.

I'm afraid creativity was not encouraged. We still lived in the residue of the Victorian age where it was all about discipline. I'm just reading some old Mellish school magazines from 1947 to 1958 and it was really another world back then. These were rescued by an old school friend from an eBay seller and he's put them online https://hmgs.home.blog I'm sure your brother would be interested in these if he clicks on the link I've supplied.

When I mentioned Rummikins yesterday apparently I should have said RUMMICUBS ! I trust this clarifies the matter!

I think Whittingstall has the makings of a first rate pillock . Television pays out obscene money and he’s got to keep in front of the cameras to earn it. Anything to do with environment is the bandwagon to be on at the moment. If you can’t save it at least make money from it!

My wife doesn’t understand it either. It’s some sort of black art practiced primarily by farmers’ wives which involves a lot of shouting and noise making. She just knits or crochets and drinks tea.
