    Sign up all the young asylum seekers.
  2. Yep my divisional officer had me in for a quiet chat!!!. Especially a young sailor marrying a chorus girl! which my wife to be was. She was in the chorus of the show "0pen the cage" starring Arthur English and Eddy Grey.. Thats a while back!
  3. Ahhhh! thats nice thanks.
  4. There just has to be one!😀
  5. Where did all those years go? sixty ninth wedding anniversary today for us. I feel very old. We have children about to retire.. Lots of years but every one has been a good one. We are very lucky.
  6. I may be wrong but unless you want to take up clay shooting seriously why not just go along with a mate and shoot one of their guns. I am pretty sure if you get a SGC you dont intend to go alone.
  7. Also I remember, no sell by dates, if it smelled OK you ate it. I remember the street parties after the war when hoarded tins of fruit and corned beef came out all well over six years old.
  8. Not heard a Cuckoo in many many years.
  9. I remember a week off school for potato picking and mangle chopping "whatever that was" I never went! Also Devonports beer at home van and the man from the PRU collecting pennies every week. Shipstones brewery was not far away and we used to see the horse drawn cart returning to base after a busy day delivering barrels of ale to pubs, with both drivers nissed as pewts. The horses knew their way back home.
  10. Forgot that one. It was my job to take the glass accumulators to the bike shop to get them charged so dad could listen in to the footy results. Remember listening to Lord Haw Haw also Valentine Dyall the man in black horror stories.
  11. Wifey insists hat the meter man collected shillings and not pennies. Probably correct and yes I remember the old mangle in the back yard. Monday was wash day.
  12. just had a session down memory lane with my wife. We both remember the knocker upper who came to a neighbours house every morning. He worked on the railway. also we remember the road sweeper with his broom and horse cart. There was the knife and scissor sharpening guy with his grindstone mounted on a bike who came quite often, the rag and bone man with his shout "anyoldragbone". The milkman with his horse drawn cart filling the jugs you took out to him. The guy who came round in the evening with a long pole turning on the street gas lamps, not forgetting the man on a bike calling to empty your gas meter of pennies. The coalman dropping bags of coal into your coalhouse which sat next door to your outside toilet. and last but not least the dustman who actually came into your garden and lifted your galvanized dustbin onto his back to carry it to the cart. We lived on a road bordering the Grand Union canal which was busy with horse drawn barges carrying coal. There was even one guy who pulled his own barge with a shoulder harness. Life has altered a bit since our childhood. At least Gerry is not now dropping bombs on the local railway sidings while we hid under the kitchen table.
  13. You mean "your imaginary god"
  14. Bring em round LB and my son can use them in the keel of one of his boats and crack open that wallet.😄
  15. From what I see of a lot of TV now. You might as well guess what's going on!
  16. Good advice. You do not want a gun that you feel is too heavy. I am 87 and now shoot a 26 inch O/U browning game gun with 21 gram cartridges and I can break all the clays at my local ground. (on a good day)
  17. is this still unavailable is a default. I think it gets sent all the time.
  18. I certainly hope so. My cameras will again be worth good money. I usually take black and white and process myself but yes you can get film processed and prints or digital from it.
  19. Anyone on here use this site for bargains. I know it's a pain with time wasters if you are selling but I have just had my third absolute bargain off his site. I tend to be a bit of a collector. Just got a 45 year old film camera and three lenses, boxed and looks as new. That's three mint cameras in a year. they wont get much use but they are nice things to have. If only they would allow guns to be sold!
  20. Saw it on the news. Was the bridge in use? Looks real nasty. Ship that size takes a fair bit of stopping.

    Thanks. No sound at all last night or today.

    Hilarious!

    How can it be a frightening remark? Who would bother shooting such a stupid person? Just not worth the effort.

    Yep spoke to an audiologist she said tinnitus was usually in the higher frequencies and the sound is only in my house. Pop your head outside and you cant hear the noise.

    OK so you lost me!😁 Nomatter that sounds a very likely solution. We are in a clay area with a very high water table. Thanks
