Brew 3,108 Report post Posted October 18 I think you are asking the right person Ben. Young Jill is involved with some sort of cat rescue is she not? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 7,553 Report post Posted October 18 The cats I help out with are all either disabled or very elderly and for that reason do not leave the rescue centre but are royally looked after for the rest of their days by people who love them. Cats Protection League have a never ending list of cats needing good homes. They'd be happy to hear from you, Ben. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 12,631 Report post Posted October 21 New long legged Lycra's came today,,,been on me bike twice for short bursts,,,felt great ,never had a pair like em,,,they have got a big patch under the crotch,,,.smiled all the way..........can't wait to go again in the morning.... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carni 9,262 Report post Posted October 21 Hope you get on with your 'Lycra' Benj. I tried the ones with the gel patch, but I couldn't take to them. I have a 'Gel Seat Cover' Mi duck, it is great, it cost less than a tenner, and I can wear ordinary trousers instead of my Lycra Leggins if we are going to walk around the shops, and I still have the comfort of the 'Gel Padding'. I just have to remember to cover it when we park up in case it rains. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 1,605 Report post Posted October 22 Had a good day today. It's 'er indoors 76th birthday so bought her a special treat. A box of liquorice novelties ! Now she can chew away at liquorice laces and pipes to her hearts content. My turn next month. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carni 9,262 Report post Posted October 22 Can't beat a box of Liquorice shapes Beekay, we always have some at Xmas as well as birthdays. I like the Wheels and the little jelly sweetie in the middle, Hubbs likes the pipes and Wheels. In fact he likes them all. I have to keep my eyes on the box or I don't get a look in. Will you have to wait a month or do you share? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 1,605 Report post Posted October 22 Just nicked one of the liquorice sticks, quite nice really. If she's very good I'll let her open the box Might ask for some diabetic candy floss next month. Probably end up paying mesen ! Also treat her to magazines, i.e. 'My Weekly, Womans Weekly etc. Buy her them then I don't have to talk to her. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will eat almost anything in the category of cakes, chocolate, biscuits, etc etc, but I've never been able to get on with liquorice. One of the few limits I have.

benjamin1945 12,631 Report post Posted October 23 Thanks Den,,,still might start a ''Dreaming'' thread,,,people could document their dreams on it,,,then we could work out whether they are 'Barmy' or not... For instance,,.......throwing people over my Grannies fence and driving down to Peterborough to clean United's windows without a ladder,,,or shall i bother ?....what do others think ?

Beekay 1,605 Report post Posted October 23 Apparently, you cannot dream about strangers, only people whom you've met before even if only briefly. Interesting fact. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the few limits I have. When younger I used to dip liquorice into icing sugar, when I got older changed to sherbet. Can't stand the stuff now.
