In case any of you slept through your Greek classes at school, here is the Star Trek guide on how to pronounce 'omicron'...

Was, was!!
123 from your mobile, cost 50p!

Now that is plain daft........using a device enabled to automatically and precisely check and update time to call a service to check the time!!

I have risen!

Still feel absolutely knackered

Been up for an hour or so reading. Today is blue bin, veg box and walking group. It’s also supposed to be our “ Second Tuesday “ pub outing but one of our group is waiting on test results as he was in contact with someone who’s since tested positive.
Ah well, onwards and upwards!
Stay safe folks ☕️🎁👍

Morning all.
Well, yesterdays visit to the Irish club was fantastic.
As new members we had no idea what to expect but it was excellent.
We arrived at 1830 and took our 'reserved' seats.
Highlights were...........
1. It was free to OAPs
2. Every body got a ticket for a free drink, beer or spirits.
3. The food was amazing. Main offering was hog roast. There was also a good range of sandwiches and salads etc plus mince pies n cream.
4. They had a singer on.....terrific voice (I will attach a clip)**
5. Stand up bingo ......which I had never heard of.
We left at 2200 as I was still not really well but as the singer was due for another stint I imagine it was a late finish.
**CC won't allow the video clip as its too large.

Very poor night's sleep - mind was racing all night.
An afternoon nap should help me catch up.
Watched a very entertaining film yesterday. 'Secondhand Lions' starring Michael Caine and Robert Duval. Had the feel of 'Big Fish' about it. (Another great film)

Morning. Been awake for hours.

Shopping day for us. We will get all the food shopping done for Christmas. Won't need to shop again until next year.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning folks.

I have acquired archive footage of Dave in action...!

I remember a weekend in Paris by coach many years ago, on the bottom of the Champs-Élysées in heavy traffic I spotted a bloke pedalling through the traffic no handed rolling a fag.

I’d have been more impressed if he’d had a Pink Floyd album cover resting on the handlebars while he rolled a “ Moroccan Woodbine “ 😁

We did that years ago.....very enjoyable.
