Can someone tell me the official name of this type of bolt please, I'm sure it must have one.

Where have all the old fashioned hardware stores gone?...the nice man in a brown overall & a pencil behind his ear would know what I meant by 'twisty, bolty thingy' (even if it hadn't been invented).

Hi all, I seem to need to extend my sick leave but I thought I'd better let you know I'm still among the living. Of sorts. I'm all for jno's suggestion that we have a mass funeral. The logistics would be a cinch, they could just dig a hole and stand us by the rim and we'd all fall and trip and slip and drop and slide and faint right into within the day. Shall we live as a sect first? With Robinia as our demagogic sect leader? (Wait a minute... isn't that what we're doing ? ;-)

To be honest, I feel like crap. Don't think it's the Oink but it's cruel enough, I'm coughing my insides out, ceaselessly, and it hurts and I can't lie down for choking (I'm the same as you jno, choke very easily). My best chance of catching any Zs whatsoever is to sit straight up in my rocking-chair, which I've been doing to the extent that I'm gonna have to take my @ss to Lourdes when this is over if I am to regain sensation in the nobler departments. I could go on.

I'm pleased for your results Jude :) (And I'm pleased that I should know somebody who casually says "The last time I was in Monte Carlo"!) So sorry about everybody's legs and hips and ribs and stuff... This you Lottie? http://i34.tinypic.com/wrz38j.gif

Nice face Robi, please tell me that photo is very very very very very very I repeat VERY old.

Now where did Vinny hide the jukebox, I wanted to play another Waits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0Owl_X-m8I

No good me freefalling into an open grave, Parts of me would probably block it and I'd get stuck half in and half out!!

Hi Kit, good to see you, sorry you're suffering so much, I hate coughing. Hope you've got something for it if it's a chesty one, get well very soon. Nothing wrong with your eyes tho' is there, hahaha...I didn't think anyone would notice my face was a different one, I couldn't find the one I normally use. I think someone must have stolen it & has been sticking sharp instruments in my throat & ears...oh I wonder who'd do a thing like that? Yes unfortunately it is a very old pic :o( .....lemmee think.....toward the end of the 80s. Ok you can see it....the wallpaper wasn't mine, it was a pub, honest...get a load of the Farrah hair

oh lordy just realised what I said.... it wasn't the the end of the 80s it was the start....tut
sigh... I have compounded the chesty cough by catching a cold (at the House of Common Cold, no doubt), so I'll have no idea if the antibiotics are working, will I.... Time to dig a hole in the garden and hibernate, or possibly just dig down until I come out in Brisbane. I have HAD ENOUGH of not being well.

[thinks... can all these ailments possibly be transmitted via AB...]
I've discovered if you are the first post on the next page you have to wait for someone to do a post before yours appears. Have you got that or does is sound rubbish.

Loved the Pole Pic Robi. Spent this afternoon on my bed watching snooker. Must get better for Monday. I've got a really big scab above my mouth under my left nostril it looks disgusting just like an unmentionable I walk with my head down so no-one can see it.

Good to have you back Kit get really fit soon. Loved the Tom Wait song.

We do all seem to be getttng a load of ailments at the mo don't we Jno you might be right about them all being transmitted on AB. Ha Ha!

Going in the tub now. Hope you all have a good Sunday.
you mean the Beanpole pic, Jude?
You said it Jno, don;t know why I have to lose weight.When I turn sideways you can hardly see me. My Dad used to call me Spadge (sparrowlegs).
Morning all - well believe it or not as a child I was underweight as I wouldn't eat normal food, just paper, tailor's chalk and dried bread, then when I did try to eat it, they nearly always gave me rarely cooked liver (to help with my blood) and the blood juice from the roast. Would only eat when feeding the ducks, so mum tried to give the ducks nice sandwiches, still wouldn't eat. Have been slim for most of my life but always with slightly plump boobies. Now there's a middle aged spread to content with!! I have become my mother!!!
Question Author
hahahaha...*splutters*....cheeky booger
(Jude I think jno's referring to me & my pic)

Bonjour...Gloomy & drizzly here but I'm very tired anyway so it'll mainly be a day of lolling, watching Colombo and Sudoku. I bought the Oct edition of the Take a Break booklet, a good one if you're looking for eezy peezy lemon squeezy....well, most of them are, but I object to the little symbols that suggest 'this one should be done in 5/10/15 minutes'....I'll do it in my own good time thank you T-A-B and if that's several hours or attempts then so be it...tut
Question Author
lovely weather for frogs...[pops one in jno's slippers]
Oh Robi I thought Jno was referring to my diet. Trust me to get the wrong end of the stick. Ha Ha!!
Question Author

Thank you Robi, I don't know how you remember all these dates, but am very glad that you do!

Having a day going round the island and for lunch with Mr N, I'll be back in bed watching xfactor by 3pm with a wine headache, no doubt. xx
sorry shaney, didn\'t see you there, many thanks, that\'s the first time I\'ve ever been able to make up a decent looking bouquet!! x

Thanks Lottie, yup, that\'s me! x
