But that's over 5yrs old and looks in better shape than the average UK road 😕

Funniest post of the week award. But also guaranteed ti get you a Glagow kiss :vb-headbang:

“Can my mate have a swatch of yer fanny miss?” 🤪

Your needing to have a gid swatch at a certain episode of chewin the fat boss...you'd love it.

Went to see the Landy mad neighbour this p.m. Found myself leaving at about 7 p.m. The guy talks non-stop but fortunately what he talks about is interesting. He knows a lot about LR products. But we talked about a lot of other stuff as well. He...

Yet more awful storms including big hail in parts of France including the Loire Valley. Price of Pouilly-fumé will be on the rise. https://watchers.news/2025/06/04/intense-hailstorm-loire-france/ :(:(:(:(:(

Just trying to imagine @DanClarke getting a good swatch of all that was visible in the steam room!! Ooh Matron!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

I'll have to tell W to stop wearing hers!! Orrible plassy old thing anyway! Put a batt in it the other day, :rolleyes:

Can I suggest going swimming, its great for non stress exercise (unless you cant swim) 🤣 🤣 Steam room & sauna is great for relaxing plus you get a good swatch. mmm might not be good for your blood pressure. :p

Get Occupation Therapy on-side it's easier as well ...

Yes, but the Roman road has lasted 2,000 years. ;)

Romans had a pothole problem too :p. Loaded car, had some breakfast at a cafe, inspected a Roman road. Nothing new here then:p. J

Paypal just got back to us to say that they can see we are right although W somehow only managed to dispute €1 of one payment, lord knows how! They are now willing to file a dispute/claim thing. We will see.

Hi TT, thanks for asking mate. It is still complaining now and then (sometimes quite sharply). I think it objects to supporting such a lardy-bastid as me. ;) I am trying to lose the weight but the damage is probably already done, and at 70+ it...

£100 smackers for me 😎

How's that knee Dan?

Someone say blow up hippos?

Have spent since about 10:30 messing around with PayPal, and Axa. I did what W would have done if her pills for pain weren't making her foggy. On her PayPal statement there are two separate different invoices for the same correct amount. So...

..the Doctor rang to discuss my latest blood test. :) Apparently I failed. Lipids too high. Never mind, try again next year.

Sure it wasn't on a train going into a tunnel??!!! 🚂🚂🚂 🤣 🤣 🤣

Is that a breed that gives up easily?
