Yes, yes but what about the bacon issue?. Come to the dispatch box and answer as per the forum agreement you signed.

Ah bacon - it’s a bit like asking about the wine issue though - and what you would pass for bacon.
I do like a good thick slice of back bacon from a well raised and fabulously looked after snorter like a Tamworth. Not smoked though - blooming waste. And on he went, waffling into his frying pan.

Some years ago a dentist recommended Propain for toothache. At the time I had an access and nothing was easing it. But these did. If they are not available perhaps try paracetamol and codeine?

Are you sure Slimlizzy? Propane is not laughing gas!
 
Phew. Rule of six is a doddle to skirt round: “The ‘rule of six’ restrictions brought in today could have disrupted game shooting which usually includes eight or more people. However, the exemption will allow shooting to operate under Covid-safe guidance.” Not sure how good my granddaughters are with guns but Christmas day shoot is now organised.
 
Thank all for sympathy re my toothache. Got to see my dentist today, he confirmed It's an apsis, clearly shown on the X-ray. Only me in surgery, well organised. So now on 7 days of antibiotics and no alcohol. Dentist was great but what ever happened to old school dentists that just get on with putting right what was wrong? I have been presented with so many options as to what can be done, what I can expect, percentages of success and failure I am totally confused. I ended up asking can I just do nothing once antibiotics work? So after all these options dentist said yes that's probably the best, leave it alone as it's dying and when dead it should be no problem. However there is always a but, unless it gets another apsis.
Still, hopefully on the mend and looking forward to no more pain.
 
I am sure your granddaughters will be better than Willy Whitelaw who bagged a beater.

The moral of the story never argue with a florist you could end up with a bunch of fives instead of a bunch of roses.
 
My wife was born in Silloth we used to visit her Gran there quite often even when she was in her nineties she would still insist on making us cups of tea and never let us help, And I used to enjoy standing on the front looking over the water to Scotland.

Oh my Fbg was 5.1 this morning if I remember correctly.
 

That's interesting, John.

The mountain across the Solway is Criffel.
Your wife will have told you, the locals say, if you can't see, Criffel.... it's raining and if you can see, Criffel....it's going to rain.

We came up here in 1964 when I went to work at Sandale transmitter. I didn't expect to be up here nearly sixty years later.

The damp weather took time to get used to after the east midlands.
I have spent many hours walking down to Grune Point from Silloth and looking for sea birds glued to a telescope eyepiece on the sea front.
The houses won't have changed much from when your wife was here.

I don't think we are going to move much now. Our two are in Warrington and York respectively, but old trees cannot be uprooted!
regards
D.

I dare say not point of fact her granddad's building firm built several houses in Silloth when her father worked for the family firm. They then moved down to Warwick sort of in the opposite direction to you. She still has family there though.
 
Good Morning and 6.7 for me today, nit surprised though.

Face is now ROUND and I can see my right cheek I'm that swollen, I hope these antibiotics start to work soon. Then all this great weather being wasted as I feel so YUK.

Youngest Granddaughter developed Cough and Temp, she and her mom and dad had Covid Test which came back negative on Sunday, good news or we could have been self isolating for days as we had spent a day with them.

Take whatever the day throws your way. Keep safe.
 
Good morning all. An appalling 5.8 via Stabbo for me this morning. A grotty cold seems to be the reason not my food intake, which is reliably LC because I'm very stubborn and pretend that works. The upside is >7 hrs sleep and an 85 sleep score with oxygen levels spiffing all night long. My temperature is 36.2 so ok there. Hug for the tooth issues @Muddy Cyclist. Wild Alaskan salmon extravaganza and several 800 mls mugs of Assam tea here today. No idea what the Fungster would feel about that but I do know what I feel about him. Have a great day and if you don't like a law/agreement get some useful idiots to say we agree and just ignore it - braying is good.

Good, that’s a result even if you had to listen to disclaimers and caveats read from a list of quite unimportant small print when pain relief and a sound plan were all that was required.
