Yeah!! Likewise. Good to hear from you mate! Bonzer!

I have just noticed - I think I just, without knowing, kicked Rob into 2000 reputation territory......respect.....

I'll stop you going to them youth clubs..... You mean Joan- if you've been dreaming of Sylvia again, stop watching Ice Cold in Alex!!!!

Oh yeah!!!!! Fatty Owls!!!!!

When Star Wars came to Kidderminster, the big sign above the Cinema read for a short period "ARS WARTS".... In 2012 the Grand Turk pub in Kidderminster became 'The Rank Turd' for a bit... ......and they greased the lamppost outside the Bewdley Brassrubbing Centre years ago because people kept nicking the b and the r.

The first time I drove past this shop I nearly crashed into it because I was laughing so much. I had to stop, regain my composure, and go back and take a picture.

Yes, in the second picture, but in the first picture with Amanda Barrie and the asp, it's Christine Rogers.

I the background of the above pic, you can see our old very missed Passat. I worked out the anagram of 'Passat Tdi' - nearly caused a few accidents..... Any more cars you can do something similar to?

A few years ago I just had to do this to a sign in Kidderminster with some black tape. I couldn't resist.

Oh I'll give it a try! If I get all maudlin, then I'm no damn use to anyone!!!

However, sharing a good malt or amarone is even better....... Merry Christmas and New year to all you good forum members. b

Thanks Mike Her illness is a hideous combination of MS and MSA, so not good. She's next to my 93 year old mother, who is losing the plot, so there is a near-perfect storm 100 miles away all the time, that just gets worse, and what can I do about it? It's always 'not enough'...... I do find a good Malt or Amarone is a good temporary cure!!!

is it just me wot's going through a time cell where everything doesn't work, or is generally this year a pain in the arse? Christmas is usually a runaround from hell, with no bonus points, but this year... Eurostars cancelled, no emails where I was working in Paris - thanks BT.... No emails back at the hotel either- BT claiming that particular hotel was hotspot for spam.....! Had to hover outside cafes to use their wifi.... I'm trying to get home now from kidderminster, having zoomed up to help very ill sister sort her computer out, and lo and behold- engine warning light and no power. Stuck in a mcdonald's on their wifi so I don't go insane waiting for the RAC - 3 hours plus- after logging onto Mcdonalds wifi by basically giving them all my information, so I'm expecting a future consisting entirely of spam aimed at fat kids.... Christmas hampers. Yes it does. Grrr....

I'm trying to put a couple of pics on the 'Coin acquisition of the week' thread...I'm never on it!

Apparently there is a cheese shop in Nazareth, Pennsylvania called 'Cheeses of Nazareth'......

I take my pictures and email them to me. There is the option for what file size you want before you send, so you know it's below 500k. it's not really accurate- what size you think you send is not exactly same size when you receive it!! This does work really well, without any extra program or skill set.

Funny how things go when looking for stuff. I had 'watched' it, to look more closely when I had time, and when I did it still wasn't obvious what was in front of me. I don't have that reverse, so I only know it from pictures....

Well, I'll try and take some better pics for you when it turns up...:) It looks like the top leaf is half still there.....

Public Relations?

That era did produce cluster of die oddities: This looks like 5 minutes before the die exploded and bits went across the room.... Maybe they thought they could get another 24 hours service from it, like James Bond would have done.... Die Another Day? Anyone???.......

That's what you said at that party in Brighton.....:)

Luxury. We used to DREAM of an apostrophe......
