Norman Ingram:
Harry we will have a collection among the lads, Dennis will be good for a £100, if we are lucky Chris must have a few quid stacked away in the IOM, it is a tax haven, sky the limit, he could push the size up to 50" . as for the two Dave’s and Johnnie could be the jackpot! Keith could deliver it, anything short I will put in up to £ 2.50p.
I have a 14’’ portable TV which might still work,if thats any use Norm.As for money,here on the Welsh Border that is a swear word as we have none .
Cheers Dave.
T’Isle of Mans’ skint,like all it’s residents,times is 'ard tha knows.Had to catch an Oystercatcher and collect some seaweed for snap.I might have a white fiver somewhere,any good?
Might have ONE white fiver “somewhere” thats rich coming from the King of the “dodgy’s” I bet his beds that lumpty with “I’ll gotten” he’ll struggle to get a comfortable nights kip!! Anon.

See if you can find some lorry batteries Harry,they might just drive the TV.
Cheers Dave.
I knew you lads would come up trumps for Harry. I hope Harry never needs a blood transfusion, for it looks like he wouldn’t get much out of us! you might think we are the rolling stones, and you know you can’t blood out of a " stone".

C’mon Norm poor old Chris Webb is worse of than Harry,living on Herring Gull on toast and being chased by moterbikes all over the Isle of Man.At least Harry can get some black pudding and dripping liiving in Durham .
Cheers Dave.
Dave I do not know why! but I suspect Chris tells porky pies, I think we should get a second opion from Johnnie, he knows him well. When I used to go over there, they all seem to be well off, I think the only reason his wife got him to move was she told him, he could get all his night out money from the bank at regular intervals and count the interest he had made, 40 years x 7x 52 = Loads of Money! well he was a Yorkshire man.

I heard his wife made him go there because he kept shutting the cats tail in the door .

STILL a Yorkshireman Norman.Things are real bad over here.A bloke just up the road was so skint he had to go next door to gas hissen.
Going out early in t’morning to try and catch a Curlew,it’s reckoned they are tastier than Herring Gull.
Some people don’t know when they are well off, on a island with sea all around it, a bit of string and a safety pin, and you should never go hungry, and all that sea food too ! If our shops run out me & Harry have to starve. You should have gone on Skype, then you would see how much we have suffered, please no tears or it might corrode the coins you send us!
Lads it was touch and go,that I would visit Chris in I o M, the thing that swung it was it was cheaper to go to IoW, so I booked up for 5 days on 5th sept, and it was a shorter trip, also my bar bills would have got out of hand seeing Chris will have to wait until Mr Ladbroke pays out a good win to me.

Norman,I wouldn’t dream of taking advantage of an old pensioner as far as bar bills were concerned.
You could buy a slice of the Isle of Wight cheaper than using the IOM Steam Packet Racket to get here.
Wheel Nut:
Im sure the Orange Tree will be remembered and for slightly different reasons, the Juniper Berry
I was in there one night ,went to the toilet and “she” followed me in, wipped up her skirt and had a ■■■■■. quite unnerving but had to convince myself it really was a fella in drag. cracking night out there ,
Also used to goto Oldham (live there now) red lion pub baileys/candlelight an the local “bathouse” another cracking place.
Yes the old J Berry has been mentioned several times by lorry drivers visiting Southampton, as for Oldham I have seen some grand acts there in the 80’s, and Berry was one of them, dressed in tight fitting leather making love to the microphone, hmm he might have been at home at the Jupitor berry.

hiya,
Oldham was a bit near home for a night out when I was a young-un but did nights out there with the lads always a lively spot we used to go into Albert Pierrpoint’s pub “Help the Poor Struggler” one night a guy rolled in there worse for drink and sang his heart out all night, he was supposed be on stage in Manchester but did his show in Albert’s pub much to the consternation of his agent who was also his driver, does anybody remember the great Josef Locke, “While out in the desert weary soldiers they are sleeping” golly nearly broke out into song there until I realised I can’t sing.
thanks harry long retired.
Any body remember the dommino club in Manchester a place called Bradford just off Ashton New Rd It was the first time I saw Jimmy Tarbuck also there was strippers of all ages not a pretty site but a good laugh for half a doller membership I was told some time later it was raided & closed down Im sure it was an old cinema Regards Larry PS it was 1960.
could be the jackpot!
