Norm ,I have to be careful about calling Dennis old,as he is of the same year as myself.I still have a drink,but only at home,as we have no pub in this village,so I have three cans most nights of cheap bitter,or if my mate comes around a few bottles of Newcastle Brown.I could take to being an adopted Geordie like Harry for few bottles of that .
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Yes Dave a bit partial to a drop of âthe dogâ myself but only to wash the the whiskey down but just lately iâve been doing the washing down with a drop of Mangers cider doesânt half turn the old legs a bit rubbery though.
thanks harry long retired.
As you know Harry,I live close to cider country,itâs known as loopy juice around here.I remember there were still a few pubs in the 60âs selling rough cider,it looked like pond water in the glass.There were a lot of cider makers in Herefordshire,still about three still going.My Grandad always bought a barrel of cider and had a glass full with bread and cheese for his supper,he lived until 93,so it didnât do him any harm.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Donât eat cheese Dave will that make any difference to my longevity surely a bit late for me to start eating mouse food now, the damage to the old boiler is well and truly in existence, maybe i should start nibbling a lump of gorgonzola might get me a telegram from Liz when i hit the ton, then on second thoughts iâve got a load of aches and pains now goodness knows what theyâll manifest into if i reach the really big birthday.
thanks harry long retired.
harry , you are only a lad yet . my widowed pa in law is 86 this year and he and his "girlfriend " ( sheâs 84 ) still enjoy a little " cuddle " a couple of times a week !! with all that preservative you imbibe you will last forever , the single malt is probably better for you than the cuddles though , nourishment rather than punishment . cheers , dave

I f you get a telegram from Liz when you hit the ton,she will have broken the record as the longest lived sovereign,but they do say she is partial to a bit of mousetrap,along with a bottle of strongbow.
Cheers Dave.
Well Harry if you are hoping to hit the hundred, the Duke would be 115, the Queen would be 110, so I think your chances of getting a telegram from them is quite remote, and you Dave no chance, in fact I think you have more chance of lighting a fire made of snowballd.

There is more chance of me being sent to the Tower Norm,than getting a telegram,although I have been to her London gaff for the afternoon .

Glad you are a royalist, and help the Queen out, by visiting Buckingham Palace, did she invite you in for tea & biscuits, No ? the pope never ask me when I went to see him at rome, how can they get the feel of the people if they do not mix with the salt of the earth! :

I did get invited Norm,along with about 4,000 other people to a garden party in 2003.Proper fish out of water with all the posh knobs .
Cheers Dave.
Norman Ingram:
Hey Dave, you are correct, Dennis has been quiet fo a while, I do hope the old bloke has not snuff it, that should bring him out of the woodwork. To be honest, I can say I never over did it with drink again, now I am almost a teetotaler, but not mention that word to Harry, he may feel faint!
As and when I âsnuff itâ Norm I want laying out in my box face down,the all my critics and detractors,can kiss my (zb) cheers Dennis.

Surely Liz would have given you a Royal car park ticket so there would have been no argument from the office when you handed your exces.in the next week and it would have been defo more than what they printed on them at Hilltop,Blythe!!! Dennis.

I rang her up about that and she told me to âbagger orfâ and that I was a âdodgy Norvern barstewardâ,not a bit like what her Suvern drivers were likeâŚ
Like Davies Brothers,Charlie Poulter etc.

I went in my transit ( true ),once you are in you canât bagger off,you are locked in until they leave first.
I think it may be that they donât trust you northern people, or it could be they are worried that you might be tighter than what they are. personally I think it might be a draw. I bet you had a souvenir from the trip, I am wondering if a corgi is missing, or are the gates still there!
Norman Ingram:

Not a northern person Norm,from the Welsh Border.just in Wales,have a Cairn Terrier,donât need a Corgi.Big gates Norm,which are locked once you are in the grounds at the back.
Cheers Dave.
Dave I was not including you, but wait a minute I will have to get a ruler out, and check my map to see if you are north of me. And are you sure your dog is not a long hair corgi. Still it is a good photo, and that chair looks a little bit like a heir loom.

Dog hair loom chair Norm,he doesnât get to sit on those very often.Heâs off for a haircut next week ready for the spring,otherwise he will end up looking like Dougal .
Cheers Dave.
Donât know if anyone has mentioned Bettys Bar on the Broomielaw, that was an eye opener in the seventies!!! Or an eye closer if you looked at someone the wrong way!!!
Dave the Renegade:
I wonder,has Harry Gill fitted that jacuzzi yet ?
They canât get him out of it Dave, heâs never been so clean.
hiya,
Just taking a breather, not fitted yet still reared up in the corner of the living room should get to the fitting stage about Wednesday still on tiling, the toilet and washbasin are installed and operational, thought Old Norm might have made the scene he is more qualified than me and i was willing to do the labouring iâll give way to qualifications any time anyway must get back to work itâs not midnight yet just have a single malt first to kill the pain.
