i-Berg - Partridge`s Dictionary of Slang is a winner too - great reading and lots of surprising words we now take for granted.

All this talk of getting old is worrying me - my body is getting old but my mind is getting sharper,my system is getting weaker and my memory a little less sharp,should we not just adapt accordingly ?

I sleep all year round "sans vetements",I gave up the pipe 10 years ago and prefer Crocs to slippers or just bare feet.Texting ( NOT predictive )is done as per the English language without exception and sloppy writing/spelling/usage infuriates me.
Sadly we live in a world of "referendums" and "stadiums" rather than referenda and stadia - must be the Latin I hated at school coming back to prod me !
I concur with the back,legs,muscles and other weakening parts,teeth,eyes and ears are getting suspect but the taste buds are still in full operation.I live with a beautiful 65 year old who does weekly French,Tap dancing,Yoga,Golf,Badminton and Housework ??? So no pressure there then !
As long as we grow old disgracefully we should be ok - another glass ??

Hi Kevin - welcome to our neighbourhood and enjoy the company.

My next door neighbours are still at home waiting for notice of their flight to Sunny Lanzarote .........golf cancelled `cos Rog has the man from BT coming to "fix his hub" - sounds vaguely sexual to me !!

Off out into the garden now to check on photo opportunities for my new K100D ( sorry - Jo`s K100D !! )and decide which M42 to try first on the *istD - very exciting !!

Tony

Terry - most of what we read and hear these days contains many VALID points - but it still remains pointless.....................I suggest that you leave us to get on with the important stuff and you get on with life.......

Tony

Again - wow !! Really striking photo - and what a lovely kid !!

Tony

Next door are back from the Airport - ooops ! Maybe going tomorrow now !

I`m playing golf with my buddy Rog - I`ll take a facemask in case we get caught in a cloud of ash !!

K100D is very nice piece of kit - handy for Jo too as it has the little icons that her F*jifilm 5700 had.

Tony

Great fun that one - I was more worried about anonymity/personal privacy than the comp which is why I chose the one with the obscured face - hey ho - great judging and great result for Stefan.

Tony

I bet your government don`t insist you PLANT energy efficient bulbs !!

Tony

Number 1 for me - brilliant

Well done

Tony
