  1. Sounds like too much vino tinto in your instance Jill. Try a little more water with it.
  2. Loppy, In all our 55 years of wedded bliss, we've only ever had one row.....It started in 1968 !
  3. Well, I've tried me blood pressure monitor on a test drive and would you credit, I am alive ! Who'da thunk it. Tomorrow I'm going to give the heart monitor a test run. Then when I've got 10 minutes after coffee, I'll look for a cure for the Common Cold,
  4. Go on ! Rub it in why dontcha.
  5. Down here in the Costa del South Coast, it's raining, windy and bloody freezing. Just had a brass monkey at my door asking if I knew of a welder or blacksmiths shop. Just wondering if we are gonna get a Red Cross food parcel and blood plasma drop to sustain us.
  6. I've treated meself to a Heart rate monitor and also a blood pressure monitor , both arrived this morning. Going to have a read of the destructions so I can keep an eye on if I'm still living. I think I might send away for a Do -it-Yourself Stent kit, see if I can cut out the middle man. NB, had me flu jab last Friday, I'm sure she used a Javelin.
  7. Would that be complete with their Zimmer frames Mary?
  8. So the other team turned up after all. Bugger !!!
  9. Not saying I condone it though Loppy. I just wish he would take that smug look off his kisser, like he's just invented the wheel. Wouldn't want to be in his position mind.
  10. Didn't the other team turn up then?
  11. A very worthy opinion Loppy, I'm just surprised he's never had an assassination attempt against him. Unless I've missed something along the way.
  12. But why does he have to look so arrogant? According to himself, he's the best president ever, with all the wonders he has done, does he think he is a Messiah.
  13. Do you recognise this shop Ben and are walking about in the foreground? (Only joking).
  14. Just had a look for you Loppy. The master was on 16mm. Does that help.
  15. We don't even have a village to stroll round. Mind you, I was very brave this morning, took Tina down to Newick for our Flu jabs and I walked all the way across the main road to pick up my prescription from Lloyds. Having said that, couldn't wait to get back. Had some men painting our front door so that had to be left open and it were bloody freezing ! The upside was we saw some real people. Just taxed me car, done about 200 miles since February.
  16. Life would be a bloody lot shorter if one picked up the virus and developed complications. We've now been in isolation for 212 days and I don't regret a minute of it. If I don't go where it is, I won't pick it up.
  17. That explains why I've not had a single whisker on me legs or arms for donkeys years. Thanks for that little sis.
  18. Thanks for that Stuart. Bloody Hell ! Don't think I'd recognise that area now. Turning the picture round I did identify the City Hospital exit. I believe they had a Social club just inside there. Went to an Aunts 80th birthday party there and now I'm only three years off that meself.
  19. Just watched the film all the way through, thank you Let's. Wow!!! Gotta say it brought lots of memories for me. The shot of the trolley bus at the time clock opposite the Locarno, St.Annes Well road, I remember as a novice conductor standing there with my clock card, working on the 40/47 trollies. Did notice on the Goose Fair poster it said 1965, so I was still at Bilborough depot then. Incidentally, at the fair opening, the Lady Mayoress was the good lady who invited my son Andrew to the Council house for tea, (he won a fancy dress competition and the Mayoress wanted to see what he looked li
  20. He probably bought his way in, any road up !!
  21. I'm pretty sure the 18 ran from Edwards lane. It had a time clock (as did most of not all termini). This was opposite city hospital about where the Skoda showroom is/was.
  22. Saw a bit on you tube Nonna ! What a travesty. Doesn't that bloke know when to shut up and give someone else a chance. It were more like a kids slanging match in the playground.
  23. He's not alone Jill. We have a milkman who delivers anytime between 10.30 and 01.00. And now he only delivers every other day, so you get two days milk in one throw. Needless to say, we don't have him, though some of our neighbours do. Just imagine, a hot sultry summer night, with 4 pints of milk on your doorstep, going sour !
