dgbrit 258 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 The spelling is in the MACHINE you only have to get close then it will change it all to something that you cant even think it could come up with. And you must remember I went to a crap Nottingham school so I wouldn't even notice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

notty ash 373 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I go walking to keep fit, get lots of fresh air and explore the local area. It is only in the last few years that i have taken it really seriously. I now regularly do 20, 30 even 40 miles sometimes and one just over 50 miles recently. I've never been so happy in all my life. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,878 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I belong to a couple of walking groups, 8-10 miles on a sunday is enough for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 notty ash, that is some serious walking. 50 miles seems a long way in one day but I'm pleased with your comment that 'you've never been so happy in your life'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
notty ash 373 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I didn't plan the 50 mile one - it just happened! I started by out walking from Ashfield to Southwell - but it was such a nice day I felt up for it, so I just kept going and going. I was out for 15.5 hours in the end. I ended up walking across to Fiskerton, down the Trent to Carlton, across to Arnold then through Rise Park (it was dark by then!) to Moor Bridge. I followed the main road up through Hucknall and Annesley and back home to make sure I was under street lights as far as possible. If it were all in daylight I would have gone a more picturesque route back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dgbrit 258 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 The topic should have been Goals , Guhls Goolies, when you were young Most of my mates goals was to make it to the pub before it opened lunch time & evening + the dole office on what ever that day it was. I did go back to the UK after a 15 year absence & they were doing the same even sitting in the same chairs at the pub the only difference was their dog had died. My life was not going to be staring at the bottom of a glass You can put me down for my spelling as that's what English people do, I learned that from a kid, Parents ,Teachers always a put down instead of building you up. If you do find anything wrong with my grammar don't bother letting me know as I don't give a sheet. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dgbrit, I agree with all you have wrote above, You are right about going into a pub after a few years, and it is the same old mates, in the same old places, only older and grayer, I have done the same....
