  1. It’s probably worth paying a few quid to get someone to cut that down and take it away. I hate having to pay people to do do do things but when you get past a certain age (I’m not being rude!) I think it’s better to let the younger ones do it. We’ve got a lot of trees but I would no longer climb a ladder with a chain saw and anyway the sort of single handed chainsaws that the professsionals use can now only be purchased if you can prove you’re qualified in their use. I do have a long pole type chainsaw as well so this will lop of some fairly tall branches. It might be worth getting an electric
  2. Margie. You preempted my suggestion. When I get out there with my chainsaw nothing’s safe!
  3. Wait for the three wheeled recumbent version!
  4. I new someone who went to see The Sound of Music at the Odeon every week throughout the duration.
  5. I suppose if you’ve never tasted it before ............................
  6. Radford Road. I’ve not sussed the other one yet.
  7. I’ve been in there. Reporting a crime, not locked in the cells!
  8. She knew what to expect the second time. The first time it was a surprise!
  9. Yes, Aldi, car park and student accommodation. Frank Sytner won’t be too worried. He’s living in Monte Carlo!
  10. That should keep you quiet for a bit Rog. I’m surprised you can find the time with all you’ve taken on. Good luck anyway!
  11. It can be dangerous. My father once watered his greenhouse soil with Jeyes fluid to kill the bugs. He grew his tomatoes by ring culture and they tasted of disinfectant!
  12. I rember their sports ground on Mansfield Rd. opposite the lido and watching cricket there.
  13. I would think Lynx Jaguar would be seriously interested in that. Probably worth more than the car.
  14. I was also beaten across the palms of my hands with his ruler a few times for no good reason!
  15. People with Morgans strive to find a MOG plate but It’s not that and I don’t have a Morgan at the moment. I wish I had but could I still get into one? But, yes miserable old git would fit my wife’s description of me! The Morgan in the avatar is E33UGP and still survives.
  16. At my primary, Arno Vale, Mr Turner, the top class teacher would reward by giving a shilling. That’s why I can still recite all the names of the 5 Towns and the Cinque Ports!
  17. My wife’s car ends in MAY, but not mine and my son’s three plates, one of which is on retention.
  18. That’s true. When I was in the school choir they kept having the piano retuned. Apparently after I left they discovered it wasn’t the piano after all.
  19. I’m always happy. It’s my sunny disposition.
  20. I only wish, no pray, it was Margie. I have 3 plates, two on family cars and one on retention all of which allude to my surname and none of which I bought for more than £250. I’ll leave you to guess!
