All jokes & humour aside, it really is a minefield out there for those genuinely looking for companionship. There are some really dodgy individuals of both sexes, on the hunt for victims. Sometime after my wife died, I started using online dating sites. I didn't want a heavy relationship at...

I suppose there must be a sizeable minority of people who do actually fall for it. Otherwise, they wouldn't keep the scam going, would they?

Easy there, Tiger....! :D

Richie? Maybe he's one of the Indian lads who ring you up pretending to be from Microsoft, because you have "trouble with your computer...".

There's a well-known Tommy Cooper one: "A friend in need is a pest. Get rid of him"

PS. I very strong body, many muscles, very manly. You like I send photos of Fazurkabal oiled up and wearing posing pouch on beach at your English seaside town of Scarburra. You like, yes?

For the last few days, we've had my daughter and son in law visiting us down here in lovely Devon ("alroight moi loverrr...?") :). Being a newly minted and recent Type 2 at age 61, I was querying my son-in-law about various diabetes related things, because although he's just 31, he's been a...

Oohhh yesssss!!! Steak & kidney pudding!!! [head explodes with pleasure just by thinking about it]

Hello nice lady. I move into your area and I see you and wonder if you like to go on nice date with me? I am Fazurkabal and I am car mechanic and hairdresser from Bozrovia. I move Engerland and I love the many nice ladies I see here. Maybe we go on date? You marry me and I get visa to stay...

I've always fancied trying a clootie dumpling. A guy from Kilmarnock I worked with once offered to make one for me. He was known to be a rather good and enthusiastic cook, so it would have been really good, I suspect. Sadly, I left to work elsewhere, before he had time to do it! :(

Getting ready for my daughter and son-in-law visiting for a couple of days. I still can't quite get used to the idea that she's 32, is now grown up, a teacher and married. It doesn't seem long long since she gurgled, gave me a big beaming smile and threw up all over my chest.... actually, that...

Basically, Brewer's Fayre is a chain of pub/eateries all over the UK. Its not particular fancy or anything, but they do have a reasonably good menu and the prices aren't too bad. The breakfast is an "all you can eat" buffet. Lush! Back in the day, I used to really stuff myself, but not these...

The memsahib and I went slightly bonkers this morning and went for a Brewers Fayre buffet brekky. First time for flippin' ages! I'm quite pleased I didn't go too mad on the hash browns, but as for the rest....? Ooff!! Oh and as usual, I didn't touch the black pudding. :depressed:

What have I eaten today? Not a lot, as I overdid things at the weekend. I've just had a protein whey shake and a small orange and a lot of water, as you need to do that with protein shakes, for the sake of your kiddleys.

Ooff, they look good. I've said before that I really don't have much of a sweet tooth, but sometimes, just sometimes, when the fluence is on me, I can do terrible damage to the right cheesecake. The memsahib bought back a couple of peanut butter-based cheesecake slices from (I think) Aldi's on...

At the moment, I'm listening to a piece of incidental music specially composed by Dave Porter for the Better Call Saul soundtrack. It's called 'Border Crossing' and is a very percussive piece with reggae and dub influences. I'm editing it to use as a ringtone on my mobile. This one:

I'm not a massive fan of that particular band as such, but I do love their first two or three albums. Their first one sounds to my ears like a lost album by The Move. Not surprising really, as it was actually recorded at the same time as the last official Move album....

It's my non-stop rock & roll lifestyle... :headphone::cool:

I'm currently watching an old WC Fields film, "It's A Gift". I reckon it's as good as his more famous stuff, such as "The Bank D i c k". He's probably the second of my favourite top three interwar film comedians, behind Laurel & Hardy, but above Buster Keaton.

Currently reading this one. It's terrific, but the title is very slightly misleading, as the first part of the book also reaches back into the last quarter of the 19th century and talks about the history of the Ottoman Empire, effectively setting up the scenario for what happened in 1914 and...
