  1. You're lucky Margie, I can't understand any of em!
  2. I thought it were Lizzie.
  3. Hey Jill Sparrow ! Waddya mean is it Beekay cos it must be elderly. It's definitely not me, for starters I never had chubby cheeks. Another point, my first photo of me was when I were about 17 years old. Never had any pictures as a kid. (Your all supposed to say, aahh !).
  4. Let's not forget that some bugger took down and stole the statue of Eric Morecambe, in the town of that name! What was his crime, apart from his jokes...All that was left was his foot ! ( believe it's been replaced though).
  5. Wonder if they're going to take Maggie Thatcher in Parliament down, after what she did to the miners in the eighties. Just asking.
  6. Took the liberty of painting the picture from the photograph you posted via pm. I printed a copy off and worked from that. The post on here doesn't do it justice. I was really pleased when I'd done it, I wanted to walk over those fields to the houses on top of the hill. Even put your cactus on. Bigsis posted a picture of hers, of a painted stone. I once did that on half dozen stones, when I worked at National Water Sports Centre, Holme Pierrpont. Sold the lot one afternoon. My boss stopped me doing that because I was getting stones from the water's edge !
  7. The grapes were too far away for me to see. When painting that small the vines would only be dots. So I opted for poetic licence, (won't say artistic as it sounds too presumptuous). Glad you like it. The other side is not quite finished, will post it when done, complete with plants.
  8. If your watching NonnaB, do you recognise this view? Was going to do it on canvas but then I found this little planter outside. Would like your opinion...B.
  9. It's not like Pevrils chicken Coop though, is it Ben?
  10. Beekay

    Cowboys?

    Or maybe " Blazing Saddles".
  11. Hiya LL., when she told me that I was devastated! I thought, " bloody hell !" She's getting twice as much as me. Don't think her dad was too impressed with a lathe jockey. Story of my life.
  12. I was once courting a girl when I was about 17. She lived on Arleston drive, Wollaton. I worked at Raleigh at the time and remember once saying to her that I'd be happy when I reached 21, as I would be on full money then, about £14/15 a week. " Really", she said. " I get that now for pocket money". She was 16 and I think her dad was a dentist. Needless to say, we didn't stay together for long !
  13. Wots wrong wi' Sanderson's pie and chips ?
  14. Some of the buggers just use it as an excuse to grab a new telly or whatever !
  15. Do you mean " keep one, drop one" CT?
  16. AG., ' daft parameters ' can you get them on prescription?
  17. Coulda done egg and chips, woulda been a lot cheaper. Can always spice it up with curried beans.
  18. Tell wot AG., hand sanitizer make a bloody good bbq charcoal starter !
  19. It's being so cheerful that keeps you going eh AG.
  20. As you know better than most CT., we all have that unique NS tendency to stray from the original track before coming back to what was first started. Which makes for amusing interest. As well as discovering items of interest and humour. Personally, I love the banter which often goes on, though some people do take exception to this and moan that it's not what NS is for.
  21. Have a word with Compo LL., he'll give some tips on how to ease pain. But it does involve a tub of Ben & Jerry's.
  22. Speaking for myself, I am really peed off with it all. We've been stuck in for 82 days now and getting to the stage where we no longer want to go out. It won't be long before we are all acclimatise to the fact that we will be afraid to mix with our fellow man. I've driven the incredible amount of 14 miles since the beginning of March. Wonder if we'll get a refund on our road tax? I realise I've only attended 2 meet ups but it would be nice to come back up to Nottingham again, apart from delivering delivering the milk churn, to say hello to NS's. Not been to the shops since February, and a
  23. Phil., does that mean you want us to stay where we are? Dahn Sarf.
