Banging head on wall in reaction to Gin.....!!


You cannot be serious Gins...you MUST have heard of Burt Lancaster - you ain't that young!



You'll be telling us next that you have never heard of Charlton Heston, John Wayne, Victor Mature, Kirk Douglas etc.etc......their films are still being shown - regularly!


Yeah.....pull the other one! Huh.....


Anyway, morning folks. :-D

Thank you for breakfast Sylvs. Had cereal for a change.


A beautiful if somewhat chilly morning......all tided up, washing on the line and more in the washer!

I just kept on drinking water.

Mornin all~~~~~~

David, who's Burt Lancaster?

Now this might appear a silly question. Yesterday, I went through 1.5 boxes of tissues, if you want proof, I'll send you a photo of my nose

Heres the question...............I only went to spend a penny twice yesterday, despite drinking shed loads of water all day and night :-0

Do you think the fluid that went in, came out by way of my nose?

:-S :-S

It's always embarrassing when people do that Sylvs. I can chat amiably for ages to someone and, when we have parted waves, OH will say "Who was that?" and I will reply "not a clue". I know the faces but can't always remember in what context :-D :-D


Jonesey - love it. Cheap chip pan as a wedding present...........sheeeeeeesh. Hope you gave Gladys a raise!!

OH gets recognised in strange places as well ............................ he used to teach large classes of 400+ in the early days, then it fropped to 100+, and finally to "reasonable" classes of 20-40, as he began teaching more senior classes.

But many thousands of students were involved


and we often got the "Nice to see you, Dr xxxxx. I enjoyed your class". Or "I was in your class."

Of course, OH only occasionally recognises them!


The first time we took the train across Canada in 1971 ............... one of the dining car attendants said that.


Even now ...........

....... one of the servers at our most favourite, special occasion, restaurant said a couple of years ago that he had been in one of OH's classes, and that he had enjoyed it (phew!!).
