Hi,@zolabud whats going on in Lewis, no wonder you don't like bonfire night

 

[WeeWillie]

I am sure its Robert Wagner.

I think Opalshards is correct. well done.

If you can mention the two clues in Ketty's song, you'll get away with mentioning those sweary words.
(this time) LOL

My notifications have failed me yet again. It was Sinead O Conner and Robert Wagner.

Rats....

Yes bonfire went ahead last night and although I holed my self in my flat for the night I couldn't miss the fireworks and the HUGE mortar bomb type bangs that went on from early morning and right through the night. Waterloo society had to pull out as they had Alex Salmon as their topical tableaux.
I feel for them a bit as they work hard on their tableauxs every year and due to the uproar on social media they pulled out at the last minute.

I remember one year Firle ( near Lewes ) went ahead and burned a caravan where they had painted the faces of traveller children in the back. Firle is a very sleepy little village near Glyndebourne Opera House and they had an invasion of travellers that year who were not made welcome. That made national headlines. To make matters worse the number plate on the caravan was a well known slang word for travellers...Not good.

The tableauxs are built frantically for months prior to Bonfire night to be unveiled on the 5th and there is an air of secrecy about it all. Lots of papier mache and Harveys beer are involved. I think Twitter meant mental and they decided it wasn't quite right to parade Salmon though the town to be burned at the bonfire. There are 6 bonfire societies and 6 big bonfires and 6 lots of massive firework displays and whoever has the biggest bang wins sort of thing.
I loved it when I was a kid and played my cornet in Uckfield Band in one of the big processions one year when I was 14. I had a banger thrown in my duffle coat hood and Christopher Engleson had a banger thrown into his tuba.
That put me off for life I'm afraid.The bangers are extremely loud,..... They are known as Rookies (rook scarers) and you buy them on a string from 'farm shops' and cut the strings 'til you have lots of single bangers and throw them at folks feet. They are cheap to buy and VERY LOUD.

I can't see the point myself in Bonfire night but if I made my feelings known I would probably go on the ducking stool........

This is what I missed.........

Oops didn't use the song although it is a favourite .
One will be Heart (Heart to Heart) + to,

Thanks Zola for all that great information,
Our village has a weird thing every year
" An ancient ritual, which still exists in the village, is that of the "Tin Can Band". It is held annually in mid-December, when, at midnight, a group of people walk around the village making as much noise as possible by banging on tin-cans (anything from cans to pots and pans and metal dustbins), either to scare away evil spirits just before Christmas, or (less charitably) to drive out gypsies. Nowadays it's quite good-natured, but in the past there have been riotous scenes, especially in years when the authorities tried to prevent it"

My daughter does not agree with the band because of the gypsy thing.

============================

Hi guys, over the last month I was experiencing pressure in the middle of my chest, not pain, just pressure.
The mouth spray relieved it. Then this week the pressure did turn into slight pain, but again the spray
relieved it.
Yesterday the pain was a tad worse but I persevered with the pain by using the spray throughout
the day. I was up during the night and the silly pain was back. I kept putting off dialling 999 but
thankfully the old spray eventually relieved it again.
This is the problem with Angina, you can never really tell whether or not it's another heart attack
coming on again.
I was sooo nearly phoning 999, but gave it one last shot of the spray telling myself I'll definitely phone
the emergency service if it doesn't have any effect....it did its job, I'm ok, I'm a lucky guy.

What really amazes me is that I wasn't the slightest bit concerned, it was the same when I had a heart
attack in 2006. I wasn't phased by it at all.
I'm very fortunate, but perhaps all heart attack/angina victims don't panic. lol mibbie they're all weird like me.

I'm kind of knackered now but, as you can see, I ain't popped my clogs just yet

Thank you for the award Willie. Glad you are still with us. Typical man get a cold and you are dying. Something serious and you ignore it. x

 

[zolabud]

Gonna have to keep this window open as the notifications aren't coming through again.

Happy Sunday all.....

 

[izzzi]

@WeeWillie hope you get that chest pain sorted out. soon as possible is is the best idea.

You're welcome Opalshards.

Typical man get a cold and you are dying. ... no no, you've got it wrong.
It's just that we, or wee men even, (unlike ladies) seem to attract severe strains
of colds. However, we do bear it well though.
Besides, we're well aware you ladies like your mothering instincts coming forth
giving you strength to attend to our every need when we are so severely poorly that
we must take to our beds for 36 hours or so.

Or look at it another way Opalshards, notice how well we cope in our hour/s
of need when a severe health trial falls heavily upon our shoulders.
We are truly undemanding and simply accept our fate.

Incidentally, whenever I have to take to my bed due to health issues, particularly colds.
I always make a point of reassuring my wife that I'm not as bad as I look. lol

@WeeWillie hope you get that chest pain sorted out. soon as possible is is the best idea.

Hello brother and fellow diabetic. lol

Thank you for your concern izzzi, actually there's no problems today, glad to say.
Just more knackered than usual.



Love both your images, btw.
Talking of which, another subject coming very soon.

Trust you all had a pleasant weekend.

I will be AWOL next week Willie. Taking my Hubby on a Tinsel and Turkey week to Whitby. Looking at the weather forecast we would do better staying at home.

You might recognize which of the three images within the image is of interest.
Or perhaps all three within the image are connected in some way.




Good luck folks.

This is rather difficult,
I think I am way of track with those images.
Has Jane Austen got some kind of link.with the picture and sculpture. (only asking)
Or is the chandelier a clue.

 

[izzzi]

Morning Zola, I have just being playing around with Chandeliers, after spending hours looking at naughty Sculptures.
Then found a song to do with Chandeliers guess what ,

No notifications again....

I have to close certain windows as they make my CPU go mental. So I have to close this now....

I haven't a clue on this one....

Hope you're feeling better Willie.
