Oh, hells bells...I've missed being here yet again to chat to Larry.
I am really sorry Larry M8. 
One of our grandchildren whisked us away this morning on a 88 mile round trip, with a promise to be back by around 4 o'clock, and I'm afraid 4 o'clock has turned out to be bloomin' 7 o'clock.
As you can guess,...having 7 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren can sometimes be a little bit demanding,...if you know what I mean.
Ho! Ho! Ho!  |

I missed Larry yesterday as well ,you are right Fussy about the families keeping us busy visiting them ,although it is getting so cold these days I would sometimes rather stay in the warm house and let them visit us.
I was a bit concerned about signing in here today after what was posted yesterday evening ,quite shocking   
Thank goodness it has been wiped off. |

Yeah, I saw that too I was going to post a reply telling the moron who posted it exactly what I thought of him, but my phone rang before I got round to it. It was a very long call and by the time I put the phone down it was getting late, so I went straight to bed.
Like you I'm very glad to see that it's been removed, we may be short of members round here, but new ones like that we can quite definitley do without I see his name has gone from the bottom of the front page too, so let's hope we've seen the back of him forever. |

Oh dear,...I didn't see that posting you are on about,...just as well 'cos I too, like TG,... would have blasted the evil moron.
BTW, I'm not feeling too good today,...a bit of a cold I think, so if you don't see me around in the next few days,...you'll know why. |

Now that you are broken hearted,
It's on my conscience to have departed.
But, not for long, so don't despair
'Cos the 'old boy's' from Aberdare.
So after taking a dose of honey
He's back again, like a baby's dummy,
Fear not,...he'll always post
As long as he gets his Sunday roast.

Well here I am just like I said .
But now it's nearly time for bed.
Glad you took a dose of honey.
As being ill is just not funny.
I'll be back tomorrow for a chat.
You certainly can be sure of that.

Everybody seems to be getting very poetic around here, sorry I can't post a response in poetry, but my brain isn't functioning that well today as I've got too much on my mind.
Tinker and Tabatha aren't very well at the moment, and after the terrible shock last week over Thomas I've booked an appointment with the Vet for this afternoon. I would have taken them up this morning, but the buses from here to Kilgetty have been changed due to roadworks and I couldn't get up there early enough for the morning surgery, so it's got to be the afternoon one. I just hope to God they're going to be alright.
You're lucky you missed that post the other night Fussy, it was disgusting. I only spotted it by chance myself. I've been feeling too miserable to post anything, but I had to pay some bills online and just had a quick look at the site in passing and that's when I saw it. Thank goodness I was able to delete it fairly soon after it was posted, because if it had stayed on here for too long the site would have been in danger of being shut down for violating Forumco policy. I've also deleted him/her/IT from the members list and also made a note of their IP number incase they try again.
It makes you wonder about the sort of people that are out there doesn't it ? No doubt whoever posted that thought they were being very funny and clever, I think they're just a pathetic waste of space. As if I haven't got enough problems without idiots like that trying to ruin my site When I logged on today I saw that there are 35 new members awaiting approval, but after that episode I'm wondering if it's worth the bother of approving them. Chances are that most of them won't bother to post anything anyway, and if the ones that DO post something are anything like that other imbecile then I think we can probably do without hearing from them anyway I sometimes wonder if it's worth carrying on with this site, but then, as long as we've got our few loyal members we're O.K. aren't we, so I'll carry on for as long as we're all still here.
Better go and get ready now. Be back soon (I hope) |

Sorry to hear that Tinker and Tabatha are not too well.
I hope the vet can give them something to get them fit and well again.
It could be cat flu .
That rude posting was quite a shock ,I flicked it off within seconds.
There are some real sick weirdos out there.
Would be nice to have some new poster on here but definitley not that sort. |

Ho! Ho! We are developing into a couple of poets, BG.
I'm feeling a little better tonight,....I'm convinced that the old honey and lemon does its job. There is no question about it,...honey has been proven to assist greatly in treating various bodily ailments.
Pauline,
Hope Tab' and Tink' have nothing more than a minor glitch. Let us know how you got on in the vets.
Yeah, just as well, I didn't see that vile posting, cos I would have ripped the moron to bits...verbally. What on earth has this country sunk into? One can take heaps of common-or-garden nonsense, but it's developed into scandalous behaviour by a high percentage of people in the last 10/20 years, and it's not only the young, but middle aged people in supposedly respectable positions in society. Reading the press, we are now reportedly held in the lowest of the low in Europe for standards of decency, especially the behaviour of the yobs holidaying on the continent.
Sickening, innit.
Off for suppies now. |

I wonder if one of our close friends on here has been able to get himself a bus pass, as I suggested a while ago?
It's high time he 'comes clean' and confesses that he is entitled to free rides on Welsh transport now that he is 60 years of age,...or is it that he still wants us to think that he is only 45?
Ho! Ho! Ho!
About time we heard from you M8,...I'm biting my nails, with worry.

Ooooh! It's bloomin' cold here too, BG. I don't remember it being as cold as this before Christmas for several years. And this is the danger period when a sneeze causes the germs to fly through the air at 90 miles per hour. I read about it in the daily paper this week. It says that one should cover the nose with a tissue when about to sneeze, so be careful when you are in a bus for instance, 'cos the germs go beserk. |

Well they were right about the freezing weather .
When I opened the curtains this morning it was white all over with frost ,at first I thought it had snowed in the night ,It is bitter cold out but I must say it does look rather pretty.
Even now where the garden is in the shade the frost is still hanging about, the Spiders webs look really lovely.
Wonder how Larry is getting on if he has to be out in the fields in this frost. |

I'm surviving, this wooly jumper makes sure he always wears his wooly jumper in this weather, Lol  not to mention his wooly socks and his warmest underwear There's not a lot you can do in the fields when the ground's frozen solid, but the animals still need to be fed and milked and mucked out, and we have to take extra feed out because the grazing is'nt too lush at this time of year, so even when you ca'nt do any digging there still isn't a lot of free time. Still, at least it's healthy out in the fresh air, I'd go barmy if I was shut up in an ofice or a factory all day.
Oh I hope Tinker and Tabatha are ok, Pauline must be worried sick over them especially after the shock of losing Thomas. It's always upsetting when your pets are ill because they ca'nt speak to tell you what's wrong |

Larry mun!!! How're iw doin M8? Wha hoo,...I bet you are feeling the minus 5 eh! It's hellishly cold for you in your business. It's a good job you've got your woolly vest on.
Now, go get your glass, quick. Hold it still now, here goes blwb, blwb, blwb, blwb, blwb, blwb, blwb, blwb. The dash of whiskey in the Baileys will help to warm you up M8.

I notice that Beacon Girl and Fussy have been getting poetical lately I wish I could reply in the sane style but I'm no poet, so instead I thought I'd share this poem that a friend emailed me some time ago. It made me laugh and I hope it'll give you a chuckle or 2 as well
"The Sheep" by Ellis Parker Butler
The Sheep adorns the landscape rural
And is both singular and plural—
It gives grammarians the creeps
To hear one say, “A flock of sheeps.”
The Sheep is gentle, meek and mild,
And led in herds by man or child—
Being less savage than the rabbit,
Sheep are gregarious by habit.
The Sheep grows wool and thus promotes
The making of vests, pants and coats—
Vests, pants and coats and woolen cloths
Provide good food for hungry moths.
With vegetables added to
The Sheep, we get our mutton stew—
Experiments long since revealed
The Sheep should first be killed and peeled.
Thus, with our debt to them so deep,
All men should cry “Praise be for Sheep!”—
And, if we happen to be shepherds,
“Praise be they’re not as fierce as leopards!”

Yeah, I'm so sorry to have missed you, and it bothered me because it's no fun for you,...making the trip to the computer and then finding no b****r to chat to. It's all due to those little 'problems' called grandchildren,...more often than not. Last week I was whisked away early in the morning to Newcastle Emlyn and Gorslas, and was promised that we'd be back by about 4 o'clock, but their bloomin 4 o'clock was 7 o'clock. |

| That's one litle 'problem' I wo'nt be having for a few years yet, Lol Still, it's nice to know they care enough about you to want your company, so many families seem to split up nowadays, and there are kids out there who have never even met their grandparents. Close-knit families are getting to be a rarity. |

Yeah, you are dead right there Larry. Some of the young people of today live a most dreadful lifestyle, eh. Well, when I read some of the daily news these days, I've got to hide it from my better-half, because some of the crimes committed by people of all ages are unbelievable.
And what about the Yankee who's just been given 33 years! How COULD he carry on like that after having escaped the previous episode. |

Things really have deteriorated over the years.
My two daughters and their families were over yesterday and we got to talking about the past.
We were saying how it seems all respect for others seems to have vanished.The community spirit also has disappeared .
Then we got on about have people lived and managed their money years ago. When we got paid cash for everything and had no credit cards or bank cards.It was a case of once the money was gone we could not have anything else ,it is worrying that so many youngster live on credit now,spending money they have not got.My grand children are getting hooked on to the idea that if you have a credit card you can have just what you want.When their parents take them shopping and they ask for something if they are told by the parents they don't have the money for it they just say you can put it on your card.
Don't know what would happen if they all got paid in cash again.

BG,
The world's in a sorry state, and it's getting worse day by day. You can't blame the whole stupid mess on people generally, because they are more or less coaxed to lash out and spend, spend, spend and live way way above their means.
The blame lies entirely on the companies who started the credit card business in the first place. The spending limits granted to card holders are absolutely stupid. My card says...I have a spending limit of £7,500.....My giddy aunt! If I nipped into town tomorrow and bought a brand new car...I'd be in dire trouble.....And that is what is happening, especially where young people are concerned.
The basic limit should be rock bottom...about £500 for EVERYBODY, and when the individual wanted more he would have to be vetted before being granted a higher sum. That would save a hell of a lot of heartache, and suicides, and divorces, and bitter squabbles, and smashed windows, and ruined furniture, and smashed TVs. Think I've said enough now.
I can well imagine the turmoil if the credit card was finished off, once and for all. Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Yabba Dabba Doo! |

I've overspent on a credit card myself over the years, luckily not by a hideous amount, but when one thinks back on what one has spent, one is reminded....'I could have done without that.'
And that's what happens...one spends unnecessarily. |

I have never had a credit card ,I have a bank card but that is it.
I think it is due to my up bringing that I don't like credit my parents had 8 children and every penny had to be spent wisely on the neccesities of life.I think it has made me very cautious with money.
My lot often tease me and if I open my purse for anything they say " watch out mother is letting the moths out again".
They will thank me when I leave them a fortune in my will. (I Think Not).LOL

Ooooh, that can be nasty for M. It becomes more common the older one gets. I often pull a muscle with the least bit of twisting or bending,...and it takes about 10 days to get back to normal.
But M is not bloomin' old yet, mun,...he's just a 'spring chicken.'
He might feel a little bit old when he hits the 80 mark, but only a little bit, cos he will be aiming for the century mark then.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Well, I must say, you are so wise,...not to have bothered with a credit card. As you say, it was all due to your upbringing when your parents had to count every penny in the purse. Those were the days! If we all made the supreme effort as well these days, there would most certainly be less tragic circumstances for some people to have
to put up with.
I often think back to the old days in the 30s when I was 14 and worked in Halfords Aberdare. How DID we manage in those days???
My weekly wage was 4 shillings and 3 pence (I know I've mentioned this many times before) but it beggars belief, I used to give Mam 2 shillings and 9 pence which left me with 1 shilling ans 3 pence, the other 3 pence was Insurance. I somehow managed a trip to The Rex or Palladium once a week, and 5 woodbines. MAYBE? By the time WW2 started my wage had gone up to £1/2/6, so I was able to treat my girl friend to The Rex, IN STYLE,....2 seats in the back row.
Ho! Ho! Ho! Hop! Ho! Ho!
But I wouldn't have missed it,....for all the tea in China! |

Nice of Rover to send his condolences, even though he's not very fond of cats.
And while we are on the subject of good old Rover, he must surely be due for a bus pass too.

Wouldn't it be great if the popular music of the 40/50/60s returned to replace the present pop music and the screaming, howling sounds of some of today's recordings.
How about these:
Autumn Leaves. Nat King Cole
Beneath the Lights of Home. Deanna Durbin
Born Free. Matt Munro
Over the Rainbow.
All from The Sound of Music.
And most of those sung by Andy Williams and Sinatra and Perry Como.
I think all the above are great,...or is it my D of B again? |

Glad you had a nice time with your family.
We have a family get together on Saturday hope I feel well enough to go.
The weather here is still very cold although I have not been out in it much ,maybe that is what I need a brisk walk out in the fresh air it will either do me a world of good or finish me off completely. |

Well, it's bedlam here at the moment. We've been invaded by 9 of our family. Ive just scampered up three flights of stairs to my pad here, so as not to disappoint Larry, and I'm followed by 4 of the grandkids, so I am posting at a disadvantage, cos I'm being pestered.

Pauline,
Get a large wine glass quick. I seem to remember you saying that you didn't care very much for Baileys,...or I may be wrong, but in any case hold the glass steady OK! Blob, blob, blob, blob,...those are biggish blobs so you've got a large glassful of Asti Spumanti.
Have a Merry Christmas,....and hope the pets are in fine fettle.
I'm being bothered,..so I must go. |

Ooooooh, yeah, they don't half rule the roost don't they.
Oh dear,...I forgot to include Crazynance in my list of best wishes for Christmas, so here's wishing Crazynance and her family All the Very Best for a Merry Merry Christmas, even though I heard some ghastly news on the telly yesterday that the temperature in Canada was -49 degrees. Bet they've all got lots of woollies on. Maybe I've got it wrong though,...perhaps it mean't that it was -49 in the Yukon? |

Hells Bells, I also forgot The Music Man, so here's wishing you a Happy, Merry Christmas M8, and hope you keep sober enough to be able to provide us with a nice little Christmasy tune.
I'm dreaming of a white Xmas,...but it doesn't look as if we are going to get any of the white stuff. |

Have you won the lottery as you are dishing out a lot of drinks on here. LOL
By the way have you tried the new Baileys ,mint flavour and chocolate flavour.
Our daughter has bought them for Christmas so we will be giving them a try when we go to her house.
Will let you know what I think of them . |

Ooooooh! No, I haven't tried the mint flavour, nor the chocolate, but to be honest I doubt very much that I would change from my 'old faithful.'
Ooooooooooooh! The original is soooooooooo tasty, and smooooooooooth!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Have a lovely time tomorrow. |

Phew I'm exhausted
Plodded all round Sainsburys today stocking up on more food for the New Year.
You may not hear from me for a couple of days as the family are all coming around for New Year and new years day for dinner so I will be pretty busy.
BTW Fussy I got the baileys drinks wrong they were mint chocolate flavour and caramel flavour they are not as nice as the original baileys.
Well Best Wishes to you all for the New Years for Health , Wealth and Happiness.

Good grief! This must have been the busiest blinkin' Christmas ever for us two. Haven't had a moment to spare, something or other has demanded our time for about 3 weeks....christening, birthdays, visits from the grandkids etc etc. And with it being so bloomin' cold I couldn't leave the warmth of the living room for more than a few minutes, as my pad up here in the top room of the house is so cold in this weather, that even my 2k heater made little difference. Grrrrrh!
Anyway, hope you all enjoyed the Christmas festivities.
Think I'm running short of Baileys now. Ho! Ho! Ho!
BTW, had a little bit of trouble with my PC,...it's suddenly decided to run very slowly, takes about 4 minutes to start, and about 3 minutes to latch on to this site of ours. |

Well, I'm not kidding of you,...it's still bloomin' cold here. They said it would be milder this weekend,...hope the're right.
The poor birds are scarce around here at the present time,...have only seen a couple of sparrows and a few blue tits, I think they must be hiding in our lofts, away from the icy cold winds.
Have you had your bus-pass, Bob? Ho! Ho! Ho! Don't be shy mun. I'm dying to know if you've got it, at long last. Buckshee rides from now on M8, but you won't be able to take Rover with you.
Looks as if I'm going to have to miss Larry again this weekend,...got a birthday party for a 10 year old lass. Sorry M8! |

Sorry to have missed you Larry ,I was sat at my computer this afternoon waiting for you to turn up when my daughter and grandson turned up to see "M" as he has been very poorly in bed this past 3 days with flu.
He has been to the doctor and he gave him antibiotics and steroids to take .Because he has CPD he dreads getting the flu as it makes him really ill.
Hope I catch you next Sunday. |

A Motor-cycle policeman on the M1 was amazed to see a woman drive past at about 60 mph calmly knitting. He gave chase and drawing alongside, he yelled, Pull over!
The woman shook her head and yelled back, 'No - pair of socks.'

Oh dear, oh dear! So sorry to hear about M hospitalised. Hope he recovers right away. This weather has been treacherous for so many people, and I count myself as being very fortunate to have escaped, so far anyway.
I'm sorry my jokes on here came at the wrong time BG. I really thought that being you were not feeling well I'd try to bring a smile to your faces.
Wish M well from us all. |

A snooker table.
What's blue and fluffy?
Blue fluff.
How did the pig get to the hospital?
In a hambulance.
Where do Noah's bees live?
In the Ark-hives.
Did you hear about the magic tractor?
It went down the lane and turned into a farm.
What kind of monkey can fly?
A hot air baboon.

Here are some even sillier ones
I met a Dutch girl with inflatable shoes last week, phoned her up to arrange a date but unfortunately she'd popped her clogs.
Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly; but when they lit a fire in the craft, it sank, proving once and for all that you can't have your kayak and heat it.
The other day I sent my girlfriend a huge pile of snow. I rang her up, I said "Did you get my drift?".
I went down the local supermarket, I said "I want to make a complaint, this vinegar's got lumps in it". He said "Those are pickled onions".
I saw this bloke chatting up a cheetah, I thought "he's trying to pull a fast one".
I said to the train driver "I want to go to Paris". He said "Eurostar?". I said "I was on telly once but I'm no Dean Martin".
I said to the Gym instructor "Can you teach me to do the splits?". She said "How flexible are you?". I said "I can't make Tuesdays".
I'll tell you what I love doing more than anything: trying to pack myself in a small suitcase. I can hardly contain myself.
I went to the Chinese restaurant and this duck came up to me with a red rose and says "Your eyes sparkle like diamonds". I said "Waiter, I asked for a-ROMATIC duck".
But anyway I'm in great mood at the moment because the other day I entered a competition and I won a years supply of Marmite......... one jar.
So this bloke says to me, "Can I come in your house and talk about your cleaning your carpets?". I thought "That's all I need, a Je-hoover's witness".
You see my next door neighbour worships exhaust pipes, he's a catholic converter.
So I rang up British Telecom, I said "I want to report a nuisance caller", he said "Not you again".
I was having dinner with Garry Kasporov (the world chess champion) and there was a check tablecloth. It took him two hours to pass me the salt.
He said "You remind me of a pepper-pot", I said "I'll take that as a condiment".
Now did you know all male tennis players are witches, for example remember Goran, even he's a witch.
I was in Tesco's and I saw this man and woman wrapped in a barcode. I said "Are you two an item?".
A lorry-load of tortoises crashed into a train-load of terrapins, I thought to myself "That's a turtle disaster".
Four fonts walk into a bar. The barman says "Oi - get out! We don't want your type in here"
A jump-lead walks into a bar. The barman says "I'll serve you, but don't start anything".
A priest, a rabbi and a vicar walk into a bar. The barman says, "Is this some kind of joke?"
A sandwich walks into a bar. The barman says "Sorry we don't serve food in here".
A Dyslexic man walks into a bra
A man walks into a bar with a roll of tarmac under his arm and says: "Pint please, and one for the road."
A three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He slides up to the bar and announces: "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw."
A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."
There was a man who entered a local paper's pun contest. He sent in ten different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns would win. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

It sounds as if you are suffering from Disney spells.
Two television sets got married.
The reception was fantastic.
Why did the canibal have indigestion?
He ate someone who disagreed with him.
Doctor, doctor I keep thinking I'm a wheelbarrow.
Don't let people push you around
Did you hear about the fly that flew through a sieve?
He strained himself.
What did the big telephone say to the little telephone?
You're too young to be engaged.

Where is our Bob these days? If he's got his bus-pass perhaps he has taken to enjoying himself on the buses every day, and takes a trip to Abernant and Robertstown, and Hirwaun and Cwmdare and Llwydcoed and Cwmbach,...all buckshee.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
