Another pointless thread

Let`s get back to our serious business - Thursday! precursor to the weekend so let`s crack a bottle in preparation. I know I`m going to! Wonder if the sun will shine? What`s everyone got planned for weekend? I`m thinking of a trip to Rutland - oops! getting serious.

Dads taxi driving is finished for now, so I'll join you cedricd in a small libation

Let`s get back to our serious business - Thursday! precursor to the weekend so let`s crack a bottle in preparation. I know I`m going to! Wonder if the sun will shine? What`s everyone got planned for weekend? I`m thinking of a trip to Rutland - oops! getting serious.


Sorry Rutland and with due respect to its warm and friendly denizens, but I was seriously uninspired by my stopover with the exception of the former manor house featured in Time Team (God rest Prof. Mick Aston's soul). I hate to say this but I personally found the region to be a featureless landscape with little to nothing by way of redeeming attributes. I even timed our visit to coincide with the 'famous' farmers market. I came away wondering what it was 'famous' for?

Aha! forgot about taxi driving. Our daughter did a medical degree and now has a Doctorate. Kind of forgotten how we would drive to York or Scarborough on a Friday night after work in Ipswich. Sleeping on the floor and driving out for Mac D`s for breakfast. Yes Barrie those were the days.

What they have Bob is Ospreys! now on this thread I can`t say any more! But I will drink to them. Now where`s me beaker?

For me that would be the last straw. Any greasy spoon would be better than that.

Ha ha! they have a bad press but the coffee is great and I actually like the plastic eggs. Besides after a 240 mile drive and kipping on the floor who cares?

Is that part of their recycling policy

Can I just say congrats to Honesty for getting her Maths Degree...

..... and I'm working the weekend, so I'll have to watch the British GP at 10 in the evening!

It's a small price to pay for being back on shifts..

Well done to Honesty

So your back from France

Good for Honesty !

Well done H.

Yep, been back a week now, dried out and (almost) back to normal(ish)

I think Gareth's broken the thread, well this page anyway!

To post move to the middle of the page where things seem to be hiding!

Sooner we get to the new page the better
