DAVIDW 1,704 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Yes it was great and amazing the sound that Keith and Ron make with what seems barely any effort and no bum notes . Mick still lean and though practically 70 , still has the moves . A few comments on Twitter thinking that Earl from the Wonga ads was on drums , but thats just cruel ! : For those that can receive it , its repeated here . http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b036pjjy/Glastonbury_2013_The_Rolling_Stones/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie 162 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Something just made my day! It's gone 1am... And I was just outside getting a hedgehog! I had been watching it for a while, then I saw a fox do its 'im gonna get you and eat you' watch/walk, so I grabbed an old bath mat and got the poor little thing, and popped him in my back garden with slugs and catfood & a few morio worms (similar to meal worms just fatter) I do want to keep him now, but I know I can't, I had to fight the temptation in putting him into my empty 6ft hutch!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TYAFANS 26 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Taking my handicapped friend, who is in a wheelchair, out every Saturday night for his beer and pizza. The time we spend together is the best part of the week for both off us. You should see the smile on his face when I enter his house, the glow on his face, and sparkle in his eyes. Heart to heart and soul to soul - laughing together for a few hours! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 TYFANS, you remind me of the early 60s on Bunbury Street the Meadow. My mate had a new neighbour who had a son. We knocked on the door and his mum came first, then he crawled round the door frame. We ran away laughing as kids do. We eventually started taking him out down Trent and the rock Gardens. He was disabled and could not walk, and we enjoyed seeing him enjoy the outings. I think his name was Edward, and had what we now know today as Cerebral Palsy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 My day was made today when I noticed the Honeysuckle that I have been growing for a few years rewarded me with its first blossoms. Here's hoping for the sunshine; then the trellis that it grows around will be a sight for sore eyes - there's an old saying for you. PS: I've made 2,300 postings up to now - could this be my lucky number? - hope so. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie 162 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Remember the post i sent about the hedge hog i rescued at gone 1am? Well tonight i hear a huge thud and my fire shakes... i forget it for abit till i can hear a bird flapping. So i took my fire out (Its one of those nice little council surrounds so the fire and surround luckily just slides away) and i see through my all of 1ft all round hole theres a MAGPIE in my chimney breast. funny enough i turned to my partner and said.. you know if thats a magpie.... well we rang numorous places to see if any help can be provided to rescue him as he wasnt gonna fit in the hole i had in the wall already. I managed to pluck up the couridge, stick on some gardening cloves and get stuck in, i had to hold his feet as he kept sitting on my hand, grab his wings and his body and squeeze him through, luckily no broken bones or injuries, just abit shocked, he flew off strait onto the church roof behind my house, gave himself abit of a clean and went on his merry little way, thats two animals iv rescued this week, im sure theyll be a 3rd! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MELTONSTILTON 452 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Went to a shop that has closing down sale, this afternoon, and I brought, 4, 60cm Terra cotta flower troughs, 6, 70CM Terra cotta plant tubs, and a pair of green Hunter wellies all for 85 euros ............That made my day. If I want to the local garden center,1 trough costs 28.95 euros (The troughs and tubs are the heavy decorated sort) and the wellies are expensive like in England..

Beefsteak 305 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Oh go on then.I broke a fishing reel a couple of weeks back , with my birthday money from last week I decided to treat myself to a new one. I got a good one on reserve and collect from The Stockport Branch of Go Outdoors (Should have been 53 quid, on offer at £16 including 14lb line !) only for them to tell me they were out of stock.!So I tried to get one on home delivery to discover that orders under £80 were subject to a fiver delivery, still it was a good price so I went ahead and ordered it, when I got to the check out I realised my discount card had run out too (another fiver), but I knew that i would use that again (Just a few times) so I proceeded to checkout all the same, to be charged a fantastic total of >>>>>>>>>>> £16 ........Go figure !! So needless to say I proceeded with the transaction.Result , one 53 pound reel, at least 6 pounds worth of fishing line, one deliver charge, one years discount card , all for the princely sum of 16 of her majesties finest pound notes !! Made my day? I'll say so ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 We got a dog! His name is George, and he came from a rescue kennel near here. He is part Rottweiler, part lab, and who knows what else? He has a VERY mild disposition but needs some adjustment to getting used to living with a human pack - he was found, with a brother and two sisters, kept in a crate and has really never been exposed to people who care about him. He spent his first night at home last night - and never made a single sound all night - he slept happily in his crate. The crate is in my office, and he is lying there, with the door open, as I write this! I think we are going to be great friends! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

katyjay 5,091 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 My son came back from the fire last night, woo hoo. I'm not sure why he only had a short stint there, I'll find out more today at the BBQ at his house. He was going to miss this, but now he won't have to. The fire was 45% contained yesterday afternoon, perhaps the rain had something to do with it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 , I'll find out more today at the BBQ at his house. He was going to miss this, but now he won't have to.
