Hello to our new friend Dubs, being nosey what part of Warwickshire do you come from?Helen make the most of the lull between now and the Spring break, Tony and I will be in Eastbourne then and will certainly have fish/chips while we are there,

the only difference now I think they are served in cartons not like the greaseproof paper and then wrapped in newspaper that I remember from my childhood.

Hi to Bryn and to anyone who follows.:-6


Hi Girls! Alright Joannee? I come from a village right at the tip of North Warwickshire, just short of the Staffordshire border! It's about four miles from Tamworth, and roughly twenty from Brum. I used to live t'other side of the Tamar, in Plymouth!......:)

Ok how about a laugh guys as theres enough gloom going on in the world, lets escape for awhile................There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his

money, and was a real miser when it came to his money. Just before he

died, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to take all my money

and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the

afterlife with me."

And so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when he

died, she would put all of the money in the casket with him.

Well, he died.

He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there in black,

and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the

ceremony,just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the

wife said, "Wait just a minute!"

She had a box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the

casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it

away.

Her friend said, "I know you weren't fool enough to put all that money

in there with your husband."

The loyal wife replied "Listen, I'm a Christian; I can't go back On my

word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that Casket

with him."

"You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!!!!?" "I

sure did" said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account

and wrote him a cheque. If he can cash it, he can spend it." ...Boom Boom!!!:wah: :p ;)

EARLY SIGNS OF GETTING OLD :yh_sad :yh_rotfl

You start calling your best friend of twenty five years "Thingy"

You discover that your car has mysteriously parked itself on the other side of the road.

Well hello everybody, hope you've all had a good day, another sunny day (where I live anyway - Nottinghamshire). But I hope you didn't have to work too hard !:yh_rotfl

Carol I really do behave myself so zip it Mrs.!

Joan, Hi, I really did tell your bugs to take a hike - they're soooo disobedient !

Dubs, welcome to the thread ! We used to run a charter/trip boat called Tamar Belle on the River Trent at Nottingham a few years ago. This boat, a Dunkirk Little Ship, started her working life as a ferry boat on the River Tamar, then moved round to the Thames, then up to Nottingham ! She was built on the Isle of Wight by the same Company that built the Titanic, so we had to be careful not to make too much of a thing about the ice cubes on the bar! She left the Tamar River in the 1930s. And you Dubs, don't live a million miles away from me ! Welcome aboard Dubs !

Kaz, you ain't arf gorra good job there matey !

Bryn, Hi to you matey - xxx

Helen, I hate to say this - but I always thought a wally was another name for a pratt ! So tell me, what is the wally you're talkin about ?:yh_think

To anybody I've missed, hi, and I'm very sorry - you'll just have to come on the thread and tick me off !

Nite nite all, sleep tight, C U L8R :-4

Hiya Girlsxx oops sorry Bryn if your there lol

Its flipping 5am and Im wide awake after getting up early sooooooooo me finks me better go back to bed or Im gonna be like a walking zombie later...........Gill shut it!!!Oh and while we are on the subject a wally is a pickled cucumber lol apart as yes a pratt as you so nicely put it ...........oh you do have a way with words dearheart.

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole, which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water, at the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.



For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house."



The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?" "That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."

Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.

SO, to all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!

Mornin all ! EE EK IT'S ANOTHER LUVLY DAY - But I'm a bit worried about these temperatures - sposed to be April showers at the moment. These temperatures are too high for the time of year - what is it going to be like in June, July and August ? I don't do HOT, if I did do HOT I'd have been living in Spain or somewhere like that !

Hi Joan ! Just you look after yourself and do what Doc says - I had a very long 'do' with a chest infection which lasted several weeks, and I had to have a double go at the antibiotics, but they finally did for the infection.

Hi Dubsy xx

Hi Bryn xx

Helen, hi - this is er er um er um um G'day sport !

Carol - you've heard of 'Sod' and his perishin Law ? Well I've gotta go on a mission of mercy from 10.30 till 12 noon - didn't know about this till late last nite!

'Sod' you can take a hike an all mate !

C ya' all :-4

P.S. Where's our Kazababy ?

I'm Cornish, and we do joke about emmets :lips: I guess we should be used to the fact that we get invaded every summer by now but never mind, us locals like to have a grumble about them, makes a change from talking about the weather.

Most of my friends down here have actually moved to Cornwall from elsewhere, at a quick count I think three of my friends are actually Cornish, the rest are immigrants ;)

From my own experience of waitressing a few summers ago I remember holiday makers complaining about the wait for meals, they'd be shown the big sign that said 'Everything here is freshly prepared, this is not a fast food joint, so sit back, relax and unwind, enjoy the view, you're on holiday!' Still didn't work for lots of people though, they just seem unable to relax and rude, well I won't start on that one, but they really treated waitresses like scum of the earth! :-2

hi betty,

im in cornwall too.the place where i work was once a hotel. my boss got really fed up with the damage, noise, being dragged out of bed at 3am in the morning when they forgot their keys. when it came to cleaning the rooms, we'd find roads signs, traffic cones, plant pots. broken furniture and even big holes gouged into the walls and doors ( one of which had a dead dogfish dropped in it )which we didnt find for three days !! phewey.

so they have gone for a complete turn about and its now a fish and chip shop / cafe. ok, the hours arent as long but the work is just as hard and we get moaners about waitng times and its always the men that moan.

what we have to remember is that they pay our wages so for the summer season we just grin and bear it.:-5

Yep, grin and bear it! :D Don't even get me started on the gridlock on the roads, people with big flash cars and 4 x 4's should leave the damn things home because they can't reverse and don't know the width of their cars in narrow lanes.

Gill I think the only answer is to get rid of these blasted bugs is to send a terrier down after them.

Small world Tony's parents came from Nottingham well Mansfield actually, never realised you were a Midlander too like wot I are !!

Two years ago we went to our local RSPCA shelter and chose a dog - we'd had dogs virtually all our married life, and all but the first (5 including our latest Rex) were 'rescue' dogs. We had been so upset with the passing of 'Lady' (an alsatian - honey coloured, black muzzle) in her 16th year, that we had been dogless for over a year. But the house seemed 'empty' without a dog. When we chose Rex, it was a little risky - he was 8 years old and an alsatian. I looked at his eyes, and they were what I would call a 'kind' eye, and we thought 'who would adopt him at his age'? So we did, okay we may only have him for a few years, but he'll be loved and looked after, and have lots of TLC.

He settled in very well, very quickly, and we soon realised that he had accepted us as his new pack and he was lowest in the pecking order - but we knew that he would lay his life on the line for us.

Over time, various little foibles have become apparent. He has a soft toy, a Garfield cat, which he adores - but he does let us pick it up with no problems.

But if he sees a cat slinking by the fence he'll grab poor Garfield and rumbling deep down in his 'boots' shakes the poor thing violently! If somebody 'breaks wind' audibly in the sitting room Rex gives ME (I'm innocent!) a most reproachful look, grabs Garfield and stomps out of the room ! I'm afraid he has us in fits ! The sitting room is the only place he reacts like this ! Odd isn't it ? What upsets me and makes the others roar with laughter is his accusing glower at ME, when it ain't me that's done it ! There are all sorts of little things he does, which crack us up - he's an absolute gem, and we love him dearly.

I thought I'd share that with you, and I apologise to any of you who may think that talking about 'effervescent reverberations of audible proportions' is not the done thing !:wah:

HI Gill:D Love your dog:wah: Guess what i never went to that meeting:wah:

me and hubs had a nice walk along the seafront, then we stopped for a pint,, then we went to a pub for our tea, a lovely carvery which i was ready for as i had only had a banana all day! Then we came home and got a taxi to a closish pub (i know lazy) had a few more drinks,, and then home! Much better than a boring old meeting lol.

Kisses ....... Kaz.

Another hilarious activity our Rex dog engages in is telling us very vocaly that the phone is ringing. That is if we're not quick enough to pick up the receiver by the second ring ! Sometimes, when we're not quick enough - he's just taken a very deep breath and as we pick up the receiver he lets out the most loud and plaintiff howl which goes on and on ( he must have enormous lung capacity !). So far the reactions from the callers have been varied - hysterical laughter, gobsmacked silence, and "what the hell is that ?" - all while whoever answers the phone is trying to apologise for the dog howls !

And I'm afraid there's more.................................... another time !:yh_wink

You said your spelling was atrocious, so you edited - you said you didn't think it was anything to do with the drinkies !

Hi Kazababy ! What a luvly day, just the sort of day to nip down to the local chip shop and ask if they've got any chips left, then when they say they have, you say

"You shouldn't have cooked so much !"

Never mind keep smiling.
