  2. Cheers Ben, just knew you'd put me right. Just watched a YT video on how to make Spam. Interesting it was. Wished I knew how to post video clips onto NS.
  3. Just for your benefit CT. Wonder if Benjamin is in that crowd.
  4. We were all quaking with fear, in the queue for checking test results from the six shooter. When the doctor told me I were OK and could manage without a jab, I could have kissed him ! Consequence from my mates who were suffering the two jabs was, " Lucky Bleeder "!!
  5. What, does not rhyme with orange. It does however, rhyme with Clot, etc, etc. But ! Jaffa rhymes with Gaffer, Or ! Satsuma rhymes with Bloomer. Want any more ?
  6. Didn't know what it were called. Had my test about 55/56 ish. Had me first chest x-ray 1958, as part of Coal board medical. When I went back as an xray technician 20 years later, I found my original film among nearly half million films.
  7. Jill, in reply to your query, the six needle jab was a tester for TB. It depended on your reaction to this. If the site was red and raised, it showed that you had an immunity to the virus. Mine came up red on only three of the punctures so the doctor asked if anyone in my family had TB. I replied that my Uncle Ernie died of TB, I had visited when alive so the doctor said I'd got immunity so didn't need the main injection. If no reaction occured, then you had two injections, if there was evidence of reaction some kids had only one shot. Thought I might be in that group but the doctor thoug
  8. Will this windfall alter your way of life Brew? Will you give up your job and retire, or continue to work. Ps. Shall I send a begging letter ? If you could see you way clear to send me £3000. I can buy a seat on an inflatable and seek asylum.
  9. Could be worse, he could have Melania with him.
  10. Is it worth me digging out my photo of me and Miss Minnie Mouse at D.L.P ? Or maybe I should just keep quiet.
  11. Looks like there's nowt bin posted for the last 14 hours. Has everybody run out of amusing rhymes? Me, I'm not posting any cos' I've no imagination or original ideas. It's not a bad day though, morning all !
  12. Just goes to show, education wins.
  13. So Jill, your saying I lack imaginivity and originality. Thanks for that.
  14. She took them from the dairy While farmer wasn't looking, And offered them to BK, Who sold em to Trevor Brooking .
  15. Phil and I, were walking by, To look into his field, We want to know, What he could grow, And what the crop would yield. I knew a pal called Ben, Not seen since I were ten, We went to school And then played pool, But only now and then.
  16. Ode to Mary......after Phil, "I didnt see her bear, Though standing almost near, When I told her, She said, " I'll scold yer" So I buggered outa there.
  17. Do you mean mine didn't? Must try harder.
  18. Last time me and 'er indoors went to Disneyland Paris, we were on our own so if we had to queue for anything we waited until a family joined the queue and we stood next to the kids, trying to look bored. We did go to Goose fair about 8 years ago, purely on a nostalgia visit with my video camera. Couldn't believe the prices and the noise. But it's never lost it's pulling power. Pity they don't run the big steam baskets anymore.
  19. Change of subject.... Happy Emerald Anniversary, Mary 1947 !! Once knew a girl called Mary, Who's voice was like a fairy, A friend of mine For whom I'd pine, But now I'm getting dreary.
  20. Well done Willow, another blast from the past. Late 50s, 1958 to be exact, I were 15 and at that time we thought we were the bee's knees. Thought all the girls fancied us but in reality, we were all still wet behind the ears. Thanks for the memory jogger.
