pH Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) In Liverpool the chains would be to stop them nicking the contents. Not mentioning any specific group (the group I first heard this one about were definitely not Liverpudlians!) Dustman - "Any rubbish today?" Punter - "Yeah - I'll take two bags."

Popular Post bbishop Posted February 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2017 Evening all. Funny old day. Sorted out tomorrow's Stroke Club meeting, done my German homework, ordered something large and teutonic, done dome admin for Jamie, had supper. Off to bed soon. You won't hear from me for a couple of days as Stroke Club and German lesson tomorrow and First Aid at Work training on Thursday. Oh and I forgot to mention. I had already been invited to the consecration of the new Bishop of Woolwich, now I've also been invited to the reception in Lambeth Palace!

chrisf Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Good morning one and all Sometimes I wonder whether the word "murmuration" is better applied to a roomful of railway enthusiasts than to a flock of starlings. Last night, and not for the first time, the audience at the LCGB Bedford branch was quite incapable of sitting quietly and admiring the slides being projected. As well as offering helpful comments to the speaker, which he invited, they sat and burbled at one another, which he would most probably have preferred not to happen. I expect some of them do not realise that they are doing it, poor old souls. Tolerant? Moi? Today I have lots of notes to decipher and turn into a report of last night's talk. If the sheet of lined A4 had turned up in ancient Egypt someone would have reached at once for the Rosetta Stone to decipher the hieroglyphics which pass for my handwriting. The task is best discharged sooner rather than later while my forgettery is still fresh. To do so will also defer the ironing for an hour or so so it's not all bad. There being no further burning issues today, it only remains for me to extend the warmest thoughts to all in distress. Chris 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Morning All, It is slightly colder here this morning. According to the forecast, we can expect temperatures to fall before rising again at the weekend. Like Chris, I don't have a lot else to report at the moment - so have a good day everyone... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium TheQ Posted February 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2017 Lead-free bullets then? Given that this year's the Centenary of US involvement in the Great War, why not give Donald a taste of their experiences in the trenches? Sadly I fear this will mean a visit by "The Duck" to Europe, for the commemorations, Lightengine said "He would have it rewritten and Arnie winning it single handed in about 6 days." Arnies ancestors were on the other side, and "The Duck" wouldn't have given him a visa. Morning Awl, A surprisingly good night sleep of 7 hours, I fear I will pay for that later in the week. One thing I forgot to mention yesterday was another cockwomble, It's not an incident I saw, But a car has left a roundabout in a small town I drive through and finished up 40ft off of the road on the grass verge. The roundabout is only a couple of years old and a reasonable size, I suspect if the damage to the car didn't stop it, then the soft ground did. The large area of grass was part of a field, that a few years back required a the fire brigade to rescue a schoolboy, who had sunk up to his waist in the mud.. (after considerable heavy rain the field reverted to marshland). Getting so far off of the road was some achievement in a 30MPH zone... Talking of soggy areas, Have you noticed how "the Duck's" presidential spokesman looks absolutely terrified when talking to the press? Rabbit in the headlights time... I can't see him lasting long... Time to go back to work more repeat tests... 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted February 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2017 Good morning everyone A dry but dull start to the day, which I will be spending in the orifice, oh the joy! One can hardly contain one's excitement! Roll on Friday, as yet again I will be off for another week, I could get used to this being at home a lot malarkey. As the bin men have just been I will return our bins to there usual place, before leaving. Back later. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted February 8, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Good morning all, Dry and dull here with showers expected, possibility of some sunny spells but feeling colder later. Not much to do today but expecting a small parcel containing wheels so I can re-wheel my recent secondhand purchases. After contemplating the layout yesterday and playing with it I almost decided to rip it all up and start again but then thought better of it but may attempt a couple of tweaks. Have a good one, Bob.

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted February 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2017 Good morning from a rapidly brightening village. It's interesting that Chris uses the word murmuration. I suspect that he was watching BBC breakfast about an hour ago. The item about starlings has just been repeated with some stunning shots of starlings near to Shap. We used to see such sights over Leeds regularly but since all the anti bird measures have been put onto buildings in the city centre we don't see them. Anyway the boss has departed for fat club. The cats and I have breakfasted. They have retired to sleep off their repast. I'm off to do some paperwork then hopefully will continue with some modelling before going down to the club this evening. Regards to all. Jamie 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted February 8, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2017 Morning all. Damp out. I noticed this while putting bin bags out. Nothing planned other than moving stuff round in the garage. At the moment it looks less tidy after yesterday's effort. Hope everyone's day goes well.
