No doubt it will be an SNP majority again up here.

No voting here this time.. We did ours last year (or the year before, I can't remember.)

 

[SpokeyDokey]

No voting here, either.

Still limping from my bone marrow biopsy of 2 days ago. I hour of absolute torture whilst they screw a huge needle into your hip to extract the marrow. Feeling sorry for myself!

Not much planned, maybe a Carnic in the offing.

Have a good one, all.

Myself and Sir Bradley the other night.
He did ask for my autograph but I told him I don't do them.

Don`t talk to me about ID. I have spent nearly all morning trying to verify who I am, in order to renew my driving licence. Never mind the fact that they had written to me anyway. No, I don`t have a valid passport. I got there in the end, at least only £14 and not over £20 at the PO.

I'll have that problem in 3 years time. I still have the old pink paper driving licence and will need to apply for a new photo one when I'm 70. I don't possess a passport either. The only photo ID I have is my bus pass.

Just about to catch the train from Oxford up to Leeds to spend the evening with my son, he’s at university there and is dragging me along to the Premiership Darts which will be a wild night. We went last year to Newcastle and it was brilliant, absolutely insane!

The biggest problem was verifying who I was. I had already opened an account with the UK Gov website several years back for my pension. It is as if one hand does`nt know what the other is doing. No surprise really, why should I think it does. The number of times I had to sign in and sign out this morning was unbelievable. I am quite PC Savvy. I don`t have a smart phone but luckily we had an Android tablet so was able to take a photo of the driving licence and myself and that was just to verify who I am. " Don`t give it to them Pike" ! ( Dad`s Army). Good luck in 3 years then. I may have to renew in 2 1/2 years as well then as that it when I hit 70.
