Poem

[Robinia]

'When things go wrong, as they sometimes will and life's a struggle - all uphill...' Can anyone tell me the poem please? Not the cheeky version I found on a birthday card ! :-)

[jno]

shaney, the dealers in question have the initials IIT... Does your brother know of any reputable dealers? I'm going to have to have all these things valued, I guess (I am knee-deep in commemorative silver coins) and I don't want to make the same mistake as my late friend, so personal recommendations always welcome.

Got a man coming round this afternoon to skim the toilet <oops, sorry Your Majesty, wrong word... I'll never get to marry royalty now...>... tiny project but the wall's a bit uneven now the wallpaper's been stripped off and it needs to be levelled off before repainting... tried to call Vinny to offer him the job but they said he was out surfing... on a tide of Becks... anyway, I'll probably pay the man with a fake gold sovereign...

Sorry to hear about your migraines, Kit: never had them myself but those I know who do have to go and lie down in a darkened room for a day - and they don't even get the distraction of throwing up while their head's splitting.

Lovely photo, Jude, wish I could manage to look as cheerful in front of a camera, but I always turn out to have been glaring when the shutter clicks. And holding my stomach out.

[Robinia]

So cheerless was I, the chs was all gone
I reluctantly put me pacamac on.
From pothole & puddle I was gleefully splashed,
By smug folk in big cars, whooshing on past.
But just round the corner twas their turn to scoff
At the lads in the hard hats, who had coned it all off.
So as me & me trolley squelched by them in line,
I tapped on their windows....
....and gave them 'a sign'!!


thanks for trying Vinny......but no cstrd til you find it :o)

oh jno don't be silly, they don't do level anything in Devon...
have you seen Vinny's summerhouse?

[jno]

oh dear, Robinia, I hope we don't have to move there in another 60 posts, it'd do nothing for me equilibrium. Aren't there any maharaja's palaces available?

Good day folks! Have just got Mr N off to Morroco and daughter off to work, so have thoroughly cleaned the house, used LG as too tired to get George out, our local English Shop opened today so rushed off and bought a Caramac! yes, didn't know they still made them, must check the date, and loads of other ickky stugg. Have indulged in a packet of rainbow drops and lucozade and now feel sick. pot Noodle tonight and Snack aJacks Caramel for dinner,oooeeer feel worse now at the thought!

[netibiza]

that's actually *iccky stuff*

[jno]

you were right the first time, neti, Caramac taste is definitely ickky stugg.

[netibiza]

We were having lunch today at a beach bar in Es Cana, and Roy Walker came and stood next to us. Mr N would not allow me to rush and gush, by but he's fit for his age.

Bong Bing message for Jno
Had a word with my brother and his words were (explodspeak) "don't trust any of these wheeler dealer jack the bl00dy lad coin dealers any further than you can throw your Aunt Fanny ".
He says that as this quite a large and possibly valuable collection and as you are in the London area that he would take the lot to somewhere like one of the more reputable auction houses who are bound to have a coin specialist.If they can't help they will point you in the direction of a reputable valuer.His motto is "better safe than sorry" as there some "greedy barstewards out there ".He wasn't too sure about those initials as he had these coins through one of these dodgy catalogues they send out and of course he is once bitten ,twice shy.Not a lot of help but may give you some idea of what to do ....

Caramac ? Is that a sort of sludgy ,sloppy,chocolate bar ? I like a bit of Lindt myself ..Lol !!

[Robinia]

where's the chimbley wizard? is that you slumped in the corner Vincent?...there's a Q in H&G

yes, yes, I know you you didn't get a thanks for the last one but you'll get 3 biddy points & a bite of me cstrd.

[jno]

thank you very much for the advice, shaney. It has always been my practice never to have anything to do with Essex, but my late friend was too kind-hearted.

Morning all I'm still on cloud now after Derby won (very precariously). Idiakez won it for us and I couldn't have chosen anybody better to miss a penalty than him. I watched it at my son's and when we knew we had won he picked me up and swung me round. I know you don't all know what I am talking about but I think Vinny will.
I hope you are all ok today. I am off to my sister's now for a cuppa - see you later :o)

[jno]

oh I understand, Jude, it's a celebration ritual in one of those northern religions like druidism, isn't it? The cannibals of Papua New Guinea do the same sort of thing to make the rains come.
