    And then they come back and crap on the garden again unless you want to wait outside all day and night clapping and shouting, I'm afraid it's gone beyond that Brew, 

     

    Rog

    Get yerself a very large, hungry savage dog Rog.

    Edit. I read somewhere that if you could get a dollop of lion faeces and spread that around, it would solve the problem.

    Here's a rare one came up in my facebook feed

     

    Mackeson Coach

    I used to drive one like that for MAKEMSON, when I worked part time for them. I did a colliery run from top of St.Albans road, via Bestwood road to Calverton colliery. I've also worked as a conductor on their Bulwell market to Bestwood village, on Saturdays and Sundays. I'm fairly sure that was a lowdecker with the long bench seats and gangway down the starboard side.( the one in Oz's link).

    I don't have a greenhouse or a shed, but have managed to successfully start off some tomato seeds that I've had wrapped up for nearly two years. As it's my first time, I'm looking to Mrs.B to guide me along. I believe they may be some type of Beefsteak toms.

    Edit. Should'nt be on this thread I know, but who's watching.

    Yes, the Chateau was a Berni at some point in its life, although I never managed to visit the place. It closed down and was demolished in the early 2000s, and the site now includes a Gym, a Starbucks, and a Lidl.

    When I worked at SPD, we used to deliver Birds Eye to the Chateau. They used to advertise "Home Apple pie" etc.,  but we delivered it in frozen trays, uncooked. When the trade descriptions act came in they removed the advert and just put on the menu, "Home cooked". nb. I believe the range was called Top Tray and was Birds Eye catering range.

    I reckon you two are embarking on a Hog rehabiltation and repatriation programe between you.

    I'm sure I've read about you both in "Hog Breeders Monthly".

    MrsB., I'm trying your tip of sowing some saved tomato seeds from fresh toms. Never tried it afore so don't know what will happen. Will have to ask your advice if nowt happens.x

    A few years ago, before we bought the random number machine, we had one old lady who called the numbers by drawing tiles out of a bag. She would often pull a number out, look at it then check her own card and say "I don't like that one" and proceed to put it back and grab another. I kid you not.

    She did'nt last long as a caller. She is still a regular player though at the age of 96.  !!!

    Nonna, we also have a weekly bingo night every Tuesday. We pay £3.50 each. We play 6 full house games to win a fiver with th exception of the snowball which has to be won within a certain amount of numbers. This is a rolling amount if not won, then the prize goes up the following week adding an extra number. The other 6 games consist of...Any line, First 5, 1.2.3,  3.2.3, 321, the winner of these games gets a choice on the goodies trolley. I always choose, a tin of taters or soup, something savoury rather than sweet ( I'm diabetic ). We used to draw tiles out of a bag but we've invested in a Random numbers machine for £200.00, making it a bit more professional.  Ciao.

    Well done Rog., another superb change over. Do you get the transfers online or have you a supplier?

    Your window sill must be getting pretty full by now. Perhaps Siddha could make you a display shelf from his garden bench, then he could buy a new one !

    Nice to hear that Uncle Trogg also has a passion for models too. Me, I just don't have room where I live. All my tools, including elctrical ones are all in the community shed and have been there since we moved in back in 2005, ( although I do check on them periodically ).

    Carry on the great work gentlemen and don't forget the wooden figures Plantfit.:jumping:

    Tell you what Siddha, I don't want you to feel left out. Next time I do a quiz night, I let you know. Consider it an open invitation to join us. I might even send you some of the questions for you to answer, while you are sitting on your garden seat with a cup of tea/coffee.

    I feel sad when one posts on here or locally, yet does'nt get any response. It makes you wonder if it's worth bothering. ( I love to get interaction or indulge in friendly banter on here with fellow N.S.s.
