  1. Good morning on this Good Friday ,hope you are all well.🙂 Accents and sayings from different parts of our country are great aren't they ? When I'm in the Lincs area I note more often than not, someone thanking us will say.. "Cheers Doll " ,which I never seem to hear anywhere else. Around my neck of the woods ,this turns into "Cheers Love" as we are lovable people. A lot of words around here are turned into just one word to save breath and energy ... For example " hasthargooraquidtolendus ?" (Could you lend us a pound ?) Which is often met with an energy saving "NO " Once in our yard at work I thought I had met a terminally ill lorry driver from Birmingham , when he said " I wuzz told by me gaffer to come here to die "😮 Scotland chippy's will want to sell you a fish supper regardless of the time of the day . And as for the Russian president ,I don't think his accent is Russian at all .. To me he's just Putin it on 😉 However you say it ..have a lovely day and take care
  2. Hope that's you now pain free and on the road to recovery Jane .🙂 Did I ever tell you about a mate of mine who had a similar problem and tooth extraction . Amazingly he did a DIY tooth implant and you would never had known if it wasn't for it coming out in conversation !😉 Take care
  3. I don't know but I suppose they hung about with sparrows and martins who were waiting for the house to be invented as well .😉
  4. Fine thank you, they check my eyes every year. The worst part was with it being a bright sunny day, waiting for the eye drops to wear off . I know why barn owls don't come out to play on sunny days 😉 Next week back to the Doc's and try and part with some blood this time . Hope you and Frank are doing ok ,Take care 🙂
  5. Morning all, hope everyone's ok . Glad to read your knees better Graham after your jab and giving you respite from the pain . We go to the hozzies and clinics for these jabs and stabs as they make us better . Well most of the time .....😉
  6. This morning we have clear blue sky's and sunshine, what's not to like ? Apart from the -1.c that's just crept up to 1.c in the last hour . I think I could do with a Jet2 holiday (Have a good time Presto 🙂) but for the time being I will make do with going to the hozzie and having drops in my eyes and photos taken . Hope you all have a good day 🙂
  7. Takes me back to my working/ social club days when the rock band would strike up and through the fog machine and the stage lights , you could see the ladies handbags that leaked wines and spirits into their glass . I still see some of the folk who used their clubs and they bemoan the fact that it is now shut and in their words "Not enough support and not making money "🤔
  8. When I went out to the car this morning it was iced over and the car was showing the ice warning and 1.c . I had to get it warmed up as I was going for some blood tests just after 9am. Had them done but am now a fully paid up member of the tight bleeders club ! First attempt the nurse got an odd trickle but then nowt ,nada, ziltch on the next two attempts at stabbing me . So now rebooked in 2 weeks .That's the first time that I have failed . Before anyone says drink plenty before ,I do and I did . Only thing I can put it down to is the cold weather as slightest bit of cold and my hands arms get cold even though I wrap up warm . I would be crap at being a blood donor ,that's for sure but I bet if I cut myself with a knife, then I would need a box of plasters at the very least. Never mind , hope you all have a good day .🙂
  9. To all of you who are worried about forgetting things ,don't worry as I have been forgetting things for as long as i can remember ! I’ll never forget the time I had to do PE in my underwear after forgetting my shorts. It ended my teaching career there and then. Spelling words is another, I keep forgetting how to spell words like "Armageddon" but I keep telling myself It's not it's the end of the world is it ?
  10. Welcome to todays Corrie Trivia show ...😉 Minnie Caldwell had a ginger pussy that she always spoke fondly about but what name did she call it by ? 🤔 Behave and no googling 🙂
  11. I think I was told this at the reception desk when I enquired about it and was told it was ok (rightly or wrongly) to bring drinks onboard but for cabin use only . As you have brought your Lidl cans (not big ones 😉) then had no issue it must be ok. or is it ? Things can change so I suppose do what I did or e-mail P&O for their stance on this.
  12. When we get through all the crap that life can throw at us ,things like this for you and Avril and the rest of us come to that ..Makes life so wonderful 😍
  13. If it helps anyone a few years ago we took onboard a few Pepsi bottles (500ml ) and had no problem going through in our hand luggage at Southampton security . Once we got to Hamburg we bought some more and brought them onboard with us . Getting back onboard we showed the security what we had bought and the till receipt and were waved through without issue .
  14. Same here Andy ,with my conditions some did not want to know or asked crazy prices .
  15. I like that one they put on their P&O website on certain cruises . For select you give them a further £800 and as way of thank you they will give you £360 back to spend as onboard credit 🤔 I wouldn't mind but the cruise is not even in April !
  16. Morning ,hope everyone is feeling good on this day 1st of April 🙃 But is it ? How do we know that March does not have 32 days ? Trust no one ,I got a final demand for the electric bill this morning ,nice try I put it in the bin with the others as I know they will write again . I once thought chiropractors were a big hoax, but I do stand corrected. They don't catch me out that easy . Once in London as I was walking along a guy came up to me and asked " What's the best way to get to Selfridges ?" So I told him to open an E-Bay account and put plenty of pictures of them on it 😉 Have good day 🙂
  17. Have a great cruise @Josy1953 and @wowzz and don't forget to batten down the wine bottles 😉 I remember once in Southampton docks seeing an old lady standing on a street corner during a nasty windstorm. She was bracing herself by holding tight to a lamp post with one hand, and she was holding her hat firmly against her head with her other hand. Unfortunately, a strong gust of wind blew her dress upward, and it continued to flap in the wind, exposing her privates for everyone to see. I asked ,"Are you OK ? As everybody is taking a look at what you've got. Don't you think that pulling your dress down is more important than worrying about your hat?" She told me "What these people are looking at is over 85 years old, ........... but the hat is BRAND NEW 😉” Take care ,happy sailing 🙂
  18. Looks like the plan is to follow the storm in towards the UK https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-9.6/centery:43.9/zoom:8
  19. Proper chips overlooking a proper beach . . . very nice 😋😋
  20. Yes done that cruise twice and dropped back at Man airport on return .
  21. I noted no energy drinks ,but here's another alternative 😉
  22. So gutted to read your news , hope the treatment sorts it soon and before you know it ,you and your friend will be having good times on that cruise ship 😉 Best wishes ,and take care 🙂
