Well done CT. Another mystery solved and an enigma shattered.

Maybe they're having a meeting Col., to see how much compensation to send you.

Agree totally with you Woody. My missus said she hoped they never needed one. I disagreed, I said I hoped they did need one. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't one of 'em a female?

All the very best from me too Colly. Had a similar scare myself a couple of years ago. Thankfully, it turned out to be an enlarged prostrate. Prescribed Finasteride tablets to shrink it back. When all was back, the consultant said I could stop taking the tablets, but I said if it was OK with him I'd carry on with them if it prevents a recurrence. Best of luck to you mate. B.

Who's that then?

They're doing it on purpose, to keep me from coming up to Nottingham. I'm sure of it. Sod going abroad, I'll settle for visiting me friends and relatives.

Surely though Rob, you would be entitled to your money back if you've been told you can't go.?

Unless of course, the blokes could start peeing in that ghastly water feature, (unless they already do !) When do they start shipping in the sand for pretend beach? Cock-on-a-stick or candy floss anyone?

Could it ever be put back the way it was? Just wondering.

Ya lucky bugger.

That's what me doctor always says. She's still not convinced that I'm 77. "Not with skin like that !", she says. Quite flattered really 'cos she only looks about 16.

They also used to say that there was 5 girls to every 1 bloke in Nottingham. I'm still looking for my other 4 !

Back in 1978, whilst I was working at Tilmanstone colliery, xraying the miners, we were staying at a BnB in Deal. There was a pub there that we used at night and it was the mirror image of Cheers. To their credit, the staff and locals were just as friendly. Second night there was a darts match and I was invited to join the after match eats. They even let me score. I've never forgotten it as it so much like Cheers.

As long as I'm not accused of tell Bass inuendos. So I'll String along with Brass comments.

I would love to Monsewer, but I wouldnt know how to conduct myself in such elequent company. I'll just enjoy the renditions of yourself and the virtuoso melodic Sparrow. Then I'll face the music.

I'm amazed and impressed that you got that far. Fair play to you sir.

The very best of good fortune to you both, from me !!

And now the end of my day. How's it been? OK earlier, but just had a message to say my favourite Aunt passed away peacefully this afternoon. She were 94. Never realised she were only 17 years older than me. As a kid, she always looked grown up to me. R.I.P. Ethel.

Thanks for clarifying for me Phil. It's only when you submit do you find your error. But this flaming tablet will insist on putting in what it thinks you meant to write.

Lost me on that one Phil.

Vegemite is a good substitute, if you can't get Marmite. Lovely on toast with cheese on top.

I got up to smoking 60 a day, (when I could afford it). Started smoking properly when I was 11yrs. Decided to stop about 1974ish. But that was the clue, I DECIDED to stop, not cut down. It wasn't easy at first but I'd made me mind up. No tablets, sprays and vapes hadn't been invented. Kept a couple in me pocket, just in case but was able to throw them away after a couple of months. Consider myself a smoker who doesn't touch fags.

Nah!! What we need is some bugger who were there in 1870 or thereabouts !! Am I right or Wot,!

Surely, I would have thought Notty Ash's old picture would have clinched it. Well done N.A. Got me convinced.

Good luck and very best wishes to you both. CF & Dj.
