Seeing that title poked a very old memory of this song. I initially wasn't going to post it, however, I then thought "Why not? it's Friday". Mike Batt's finest moment. Ahem. Weren't the 70s great? :woot:

Personally, I'd choose a working TARDIS... :woot:

Mind you, one thing you will find when you do retire (and it's a down side...!) is that those Bank Holidays you always looked forward to so much? They just become like any other day. :shifty:

I understand that you have mixed feelings, but trust me, you will enjoy it once you're retired. Last year, someone asked me if I missed working for the NHS. I replied - sarcastically - along the lines of "Yes, I really miss prima donna consultants and poor harassed, over worked registrars...

A pork pie for me please, rather than a bun. I've never had much of a sweet tooth, so an individual pie would make me a happy bunny. :D

No, they have no children, which is the only good aspect of it, I suppose. :(

If you have, then it's cream cakes and sticky buns all round for the entire forum. Or maybe not... :rolleyes:

On a more positive note, my daughter & son-in-law are coming down from Coventry to visit us in sunny Devon, for a couple of days next week. Although we have been up there a few times, it will be the first time for three years they've actually been down here. Neither of them drive and both are...

Or it could just as easily be titled 'What a massive pillock'! This has to be my favourite news story of the week... :woot: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-44869566https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-44869566

On something of a downer at the moment. Personal news-wise, it's been a ****** week so far. A couple of days ago, I heard that the guy who bought my old house eight and half years ago has passed away. While not exactly a friend as such, I did know him a little more than your average anonymous...

Jeremy Hunt: Foreign Secretary or Cockney rhyming slang?

It was probably the piece of cod that passeth all understanding.... :joyful:

Trying to play various old Stones riffs on my Epiphone, but failing miserably, not helped by the fact that my left finger tip feels a little sore due to over lancing. Not sure why that happened, but I'm on the verge of giving it up as a bad job and going for a nice shower instead...

It would be these days (rightly) but back then, stuff like that was seen as 'normal' and an acceptable way to treat children.

Apparently, there is a gene that some people possess and others don't, that makes a certain sulphur-based chemical in Brussel sprouts taste bitter, to those who have it. I suspect myself, my dad, my son and my brother all have it, as we all hate the vile veg...

I much prefer Android these days. Until late last year, I had what I thought at the time was a really good Nokia/Microsoft Windows-based phone. Big mistake. I'd only had it less than a year when the b****y thing died on me. Never again. I notice that even Nokia/Microsoft no longer produce...

Re. that word 'rumpo'. I left school at 16, in 1973 and got my first full-time job, working as a quality control/development tech. at an industrial ceramics factory in Derbyshire. They had a works canteen, but it ran on a very weird system: they sent a daily list round at about 9.30am and you...

That sounds like a lot of bol..... ohhh forget it...! :hungover:

I've only been married for just over two years myself, so yes, I know! :D
