Harry with your jovial face, you would make a perfect humpty dumpty in a pantomine, but for heaven sake don’t fall off the wall, for you would make a terrible mess! Dave, yes they took over the chicken factory for a few years then sold to Faccenda, he is still going, last year was a story in the local paper, people complaining about the smell comming from there, but the factory was there before any houses was built, so they do not stand a chance.
hiya,
Norman you crack me up, sorry.sorry.
thanks harry long retired.
Well lads the garden is taking up some of my time, when I got back from the bowling club and the pensioners club playing dominoes, I was straight out the garden cutting back my Japonicia shrub and filling my brown bin up for collection tomorrow. Sad times again, one of the chaps we have known from our snooker club for twenty years, passed away on April 1st, he was a grand old fellow, he used to take his grandson when he was ten years old, he is over thirty now, I was told this sunday he sat down to have a cup of tea, drank it then rested in the armchair and drifted off. He was 82 and looked very fit, but had heart problems, I said to my mate I hope I go in that manner, but not just yet!

Chris i’m going to the "Geordie"drivers "do"on Easter Saturday so i’m going to re-mortgage the house before then to finance my drinking session i’ve rented a few feet of my mates back garden to pitch a tent for when i become homeless but it’ll be OK Summers coming and thanks for the loan offer but i could’nt afford the interest just wish now that i’d manufactured a few more dodgies when still working then i could stand alongside you and Norm wealthy, and head held high and possibly living in a tax haven like your good self or even posh Northhampton with a view of the “lighthouse” and old Norm’s “birdbath”.
thanks harry long retired.
Well lads you can see what a clean cut gentleman I have become, with my sporting activities and my garden maintainance, how could that happened to a fun loving guy like me See when you have saved and invested for your retirement, your bloody body lets you down, and you end up a knackered Norman But being of the old stock one battles on, today I got up and got dressed in my shorts and sandels and a white shirt and socks, my daughter pick us up with our two grandaughters, we went to a shopping park on a farm site off the A5 not far from Weeden, to buy them gifts instead of too many easter eggs. then into the garden, finished off painting my decking, then got out my wooden garden table and four chairs, potted some trailing petunia’s, put my main crop of cara potatoes, watered all my plants, spray my fence with bleach & water to kill all the green fungus ready to spray with fence paint, tidy my compost area up, and I looked at my watch, it was gone 5-00pm, so I took my wife to Morrison’s for a slap up fish & chips & mushy peas it cost me £8 with two pots of tea, then we done the shopping.Back home I cleaned the birdbath and put in fresh water, then put up my feet and watched snooker and fell asleep for a couple of hours see the end of darts, then come on here to chat. Phew how on hell did I manage to work!
Hi boys
Norm I don’t know how you manage it, I felt tied just reading all that. Are you shore you’ve done all that or are you just trying to make us younger ones feel guilty Any way all that work is no good for you, you woulden’t have any strength to look after the missis in bed

hiya,
You’re nowt but a workaholic Norm and letting the side down badly, to be truthful i’ve done nowt today apart from having a drink or two nothing unusual i hear you say but i’ll have you know i even took the bottle tops off and poured the drink in the glass, well the wife was working so i could’nt wait until she came home i was desperate.
thanks harry long retired.
Well lads I came to this thought, if I sit and laze about I am full of aches & pain, so I do the garden and I feel a lot better for the exercise, but when I stop and sit down, after I try to get up, I am stiff and get different type of aches & pains but feel better in my self. So it comes back to that old saying, You are dammed if you do and You are dammed if you don’t!
Think of all the fresh air you are getting by being out in your garden Norm.Much better than being indoors,only fear I have in the back of my mind,is the summer going to be a washout,after two months of dry weather,its going to rain sometime .
Cheers Dave.
Don’t be a doom & gloom merchant Dave, think it will be possative, just like Clint Eastwood told Donald Sutherland, if you can tell me the name of the film, you might become a Hero!

I sincerely hope you are right Norm,but I always remain a realist .
Cheers Dave.
In case you are interested the film was " Kelly’s Hero’s ", some times I like to get away from realisome and go in to the world of fantasy Dave for for the past is better than the future, for when you think about it, apart from gadgets, what is improved in this world today.
