General Chat

evening all

Marilyn,

Your rellie, Henry John Hayward, had a fortunate escape during WW1

He had served on HMS Hampshire a Devonshire Class Cruiser during a period up to June 1915.
The following year she was sunk by a Mine 5th June 1916.
Only 12 of the crew survived out of some 650.

Lord Kitchener of 'Your Country Needs You' fame was killed in the sinking.

The ship was sunk off the Orkney Isles.

Dermot,
The answer is how long is a ball of string ? :-S

Thanks for showing pic of your Mum Stephen. :-)

Thought I'd let you all see my lovely Mum for a wee while <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

4ft 10ins but her braw lads didn't meddle with her. She must have worrried sick as she watched us leave to go to foreign parts. She kept a Telegram she received to say that one of her boys was 'Missing in Action' in Korea. 'God will send him home' she would say....and he did.

Kilt back later ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Typical exam questions, or so I'm told:-

1. 'If it snows at the rate of one inch per hour in Edinburgh, how long will it before schools in Tunbridge Wells must close?'

2. 'If Johnny can clear his driveway with a 12" shovel in two hours & Jimmy can clear his with a 14" shovel in one hour & a half, how long will it take them to clear the school playground when the headmaster keeps them both in detention?'

Thanks Rita,

Not my relation ......they were all thick as mince...... ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

But I think I have a contact who does have William on their Tree. I'll pass the info on.

Stephen there is a thread on page 2 with the name of Gillian enquiring about her Great Grandfather a William Barr who taught at a school in Dunard Glasgow in 1890.
any relations to you ?
Rita

I'm quite tired.
I spent most of the day sorting invoices into the order they appeared on the bank statements.I'm doing a client's v.a.t return The lady who used to do this retired last month and I'm on hoilday next week I had a nice cup of coffee when I got home :-)
Watching Grease at the moment. When I saw it at he pictures my friend and I queued one and a half hours! :

Hi there Pat.
I will never be 100% mentally LOL.
How was work today?

Hi Mo,
Hope you're 100% soon <3

Hi there everyone.
I am still wearing my mask, I don't want you all catching my germs.

Ahhhh Shelly, you have done so well, what made you have that first cig in all this time. You must have been stressed about something. Still I'm sure you can carry on you are so strong willed.
I just wish I had your strength, so that I could join you.

Rita it's good to hear they have sorted out your travel arrangements for you.
Enjoy the strawberry tea on thursday love.

Agatha, please send the nice weather this way, it's been awful here again.

Cath thanks for thinking of me, I don't feel quite as bad today. The only problem now, is that Roly has started to go down with it as well.
He has been taking good care of me over the last couple of days, so it lokos like my nurses outfit will have to come out again, so that I can care for him.
.

I am pleased you have good weather makes everyone smile when the sun is out I hope your right Agatha and it lasts.

Jean how did you get on at the hospital today ?


Rita

Hi Rita, I'm fine how are you, its lovely here too, I will be positive and say YES it will last.
Enjoy your tea.

Marilyn
I would like to see that you with your skates on. lol

;-) ;-) ;-)

Dermot I have not seen that before either. it makes you think when you read that.
Hi Agatha how are you ? the sun is out here and it is very warm. it might be because it is the longest day of the year and the first day of summer.?
BUT WILL IT LAST ?

I have been struggling trying to get my duvet cover onto the duvet. what a problem that was trying to get the corners in first.; it took me ages, but it is done now. it is on the spare bed. and my sister will use that when she comes to stay over, when we go to the Isle of Wight next month I brought this set in Norfolk and washed it first to get rid of the starch.
I am going to make a cup of tea I am that dry.

Rita

Thats fascinating Dermot, I'll make a few changes to my shopping list

Stevey.......You are a diamond.......and yes I love men in uniform all except a traffic wardens ...LOL :-S

I'm so excited that I'm now going to relate this info to my rellie, at least its a start for him..... its his grandfather.!!

Dermot I'm going to be looking at your thread when I come home tonight ,I'm off right now.....got to get my skates on.

Apologies if you have seen this before.

God left us great clues as to what foods help what part of our body!

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All o f the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalising food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Avocados, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers.

And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.

A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

No mention of cucumber!

Marilyn,

You're always chasing guys in uniform ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

I've sent you an email with info on
,
Henry John Hayward, Born 11th November 1887

Hope it's your chap
