Oh dear - my Hebden Bridge pal seems to be having a succession of senior moments...! :whistle:

She rang me from her landline to say that she had lost her mobile. Considering that she had rung me from her mobile only 20 minutes earlier, that took some doing. I rang the mobile and she tracked it down.

A few minutes later she rang again in a flap to tell me that she had lost her bank card after yesterday's walk to Todmorden. She had only just got the card after losing her previous one. Perhaps she had left the replacement card at the railway station? Or was it at HB Co-op? She rang the Co-op. Yes, they had the card. She just rang again. They had the old CANCELLED card! :laugh:

Aargh... she just rang again. She used the card at Aldi in Todmorden yesterday so that seems to be the most likely place to have left it. I am going there now so I'll check. :wacko:

Had she spent the night in that pub by the theatre / opera house / whatever it is opposite the public toilets? A fine selection of ales in there as I recall!

Ha ha - no... Alcohol can't be blamed.

I haven't had any alcohol for 10 years but I am still forgetting things that I should remember.

Didn't realise he was still going, he is even older than me! I used to really enjoy his TV show.

I was just thinking the same thing.

I didn't have a clue who he was in the mid-1970s but he was on in a small room at Warwick university one evening when I was over there with a bunch of mates so we thought we'd check him out.

We sat with a bunch of students on the floor of the room while Jasper performed some of his songs and told his comic stories. One student had obviously had a few too many and did some drunken heckling. Jasper stopped mid-song, shook his head slowly from side to side, rolled his eyes, and in a slow, exaggerated Brummie accent said "Oh, der's alwez wun in evry audience!" - much cheering and laughter! :laugh:

We cracked up to "The Nutter on the Bus", though he would probably get 'cancelled' if he tried performing that these days?! :whistle:

WOW! That takes me back to my student days in Pershore, Worcestershire, '73 - '76. We used to see him quite regularly in local folk clubs, pubs etc. when he was a rather bad "folk" singer telling some very, very funny stories. I still have his first two albums in the loft.

Good morning. It is going to be a glorious day. I am not going to waste this. It is 29 days since I last rode a bike. I am going out later this morning. Strava has a new "memories" feature I've never seen before and it has just popped up a ride I did on April 8th 2020. That seems a very appropriate route to follow.

So I'm not going to slob around. I have stuff to do before going out. Catch you all later.

:hello:

Good morning folks from a grey Dorset. A trip to Screwfix is on the cards, I’ll take my trusty Brommie as I can wheel it into the store and just plonk everything in the basket bag. A trip to choose new curtains is also planned, I’m certainly “ living the life “ 😁
Have a peaceful day folks ☕️👍
