That's not TVC with the pipe..... too much hair.

And that's not me either, I do my groping with my left hand...

My news mart @phone has arrived.

The first challenge is to remove the back of the case of the old phone, and remove the sim card.

@potsy - have you got a spanner that I could borrow please? Or would a chisel be better?

Does anyone on this thread speak Dutch?

Are you living in the same old folks home as Accy?

Maybe he could assist you?

I see that @potsy and @The Velvet Curtain have met up in Manchester this lunchtime

Eyes have gorn orf a bit, it is two and a half years since my last pair.

I've had mine ever since I was born and the blue is still as vibrant as it always was.

My mum does... I can understand it, but not speak.

I just answered a question correctly that the five Egg Heads got wrong.

It was about the flag of Yemen and which colour is at the top, out of white, red or black.

For those residing in foreign climes, "Egg Heads" is a television quiz show, one of the best ones, in my opinion.

Morning! Yesterday's Operation Choo Choo got off to an early but pleasant start. My brother picked me up at 6.45, the sun was shining and there was some misty clouds about. As we approached Kingswood we could see some hot air balloons rising on the horizon. I counted about 7. I missed a lovely photo shot as we approached a roundabout near Temple Meads, as I looked up at the spire of St. Mary's Redcliffe it looked as though a balloon was perched directly above the weather vane.
We parked in the Temple Meads car park where we met other fellow travellers queueing up to feed the meter. We all gathered on the platform and waited for Clan Line to arrive.
We set off, and as the journey progressed the weather brightened up. We stopped at Taunton to fill up with water, to stretch our legs and take photos of the engine. A mix up in the timings meant that a High Speed Train was on our tail and the engine crew had to try to make up for lost time, but we finally had to pull into a siding to let it pass
An emergency medical stop was made at Exeter St. David's where we stopped for half an hour whilst a passenger was treated and taken to hospital by ambulance. We were told later that a passenger had stopped breathing and was being treated by medical staff on board until the train could stop and allow Para Medics to take over. We were told later that the passenger had recovered.
We finally pulled into a drizzly grey Paignton where we switched over to a private line down to Kingswear and a ferry trip across to Dartmouth. View attachment 369131 View attachment 369133

When you're not looking where you are going when you walk into a room, you tread on the cat, the cat squeals and legs it using your foot for traction.

Does anybody know a Doctor?

That's going to give it some later TVC..
Not much nastier than a moggy bite or deep scratch

Had a nice bimble on the bike this afternoon to the hedgerow with the stand of hazelnuts that I've been keeping an eye on all summer. Noticed yesterday that the nuts were starting to drop, so figured I might as well pick what I could before they went to waste.

Ended up with a whole carrier bag full!

It's far more than I thought, which was a pleasant surprise. They're already spread out to dry.

There's good things to be had in that bit of hedgerow, including a crop of good-sized sloes. Not a vast quantity, but certainly enough for a bottle or two of gin. Was wondering whether @hopless500 is still looking for sloes or bullaces...

I settled on the Suzuki,instead of the Nissan,but keep it quiet,as the subject's been closed.
