Harry, I thinks she means you are peculiar, I hope I have been helpful, like me, I think they broke the mould when we was made. I have told my wife she could search the world and never find a man like me. She said I would never bother, one is enough!
Who made the mould Norm ? He might have one left and cast a few more.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
My Missus hopes you’re wrong Dave, (about some more being turned out)
she says she wouldn’t like to inflict a double of me on another woman.
thanks harry, long retired.

hiya,
I told the pretty young girl around my local shop, and I quote, “that if I was
a million years younger I’d give her husband something to worry about”, her
reply was Harry if you was a million years younger I’d leave the lazy sod and
take you up on your kind offer, babe magnet or what??.
thanks harry, long retired.

Harry you have the charisma, its a gift. You charm all these women. You will have to hold classes and charge these young lads how to use the charm offensive.

Have got two good looking girls in our fish & chip shop which is four doors from Ladbrokes, they come from Bulgaria, one I said to her hello Beautiful, I said if I was twenty years younger I would be chasing after you, with my chat up lines. They was giggling and said tell us one of your chat up line, I replied " If I say you have a beautiful body, would you hold it against me" they loved it, I always get a big piece of fish and lots of chips for a lunch special of £2.95. My wife said you are getting good portions, I replied yes I always do when my girlfriend is on, good she said, keep her happy!

Back from a few days in France, been supping some very nice Abbaye style ales (usually about 6.5%), had a few decent meals. Flew out with that poxy airline *yanair), hell I hate budget airline travel and IMO *yanair is the worst of the lot but when there is no alternative to where you want to go, what’s a fella to do? Coming home on the plane on saturday she’s says “I think I’ll have a gin and tonic”. “of course my love”? €7.60 (£6.65). HOW MUCH.
AND THEN…the hire car, Now I’ve go just a bit of driving experience and Mr. Hertz gave me a nice brand new VW Golf diesel equipped with just about every extra (gimmicks) you can think of. Stop/start engine technology, no spare wheel, run flat tyres, touch screen for everything, (if I hadn’t managed to change the language setting we would still be on the airport rental park trying to get the bloody thing to move., she’s chirping “why has the engine stopped…again”? Everytime you took your foot off the clutch in neutral the bloody engine stopped, press the clutch and it started. Strewth I hated the thing and was glad to take it back. A nice car but totally unsuited to the rental market, technology gone mad.

You would have been better off driving to France in your own car Brian. I suppose it would probably be more time consuming and expensive than fly drive.
Cheers Dave.
By heck , a few days in France indeed ! Gin and tonics and fancy hire car . It proves the old Yorkshire saying "you don’t get rich by giving it away " . By the way Brian , do you spend that much on the wife every time you take her out , or is that her annual allowance ? Cheers , Dave

Just a quick 4 days mate, I prefer to take my car but it was a snap decision to go. I will NEVER use *yanair again…EVER, I’ll walk first.
Flights are advertised at 2p each way but by the time the invoice is topped up you’ve paid enough to buy a turbofan engine. They charge £70 to have ONE checked in bag.

I do not. The old gimmer sups pints like the rest of us, bloody €7.60 indeed. I wasn’t best pleased and she knows it, she won’t be getting any more.
I just let my guard down for a moment and got ripped off.
Treat em mean, keep em keen.
They had the Hay Festival at Hay on Wye earlier in the month. A lot of very big names go to it,with big crowds attending the event. A cup of tea was £4.00 and one glass of wine was £11.00, a bloody rip off, apparently the cafes in the town except one doubled their prices the greedy sods. I don’t go there, but was told this by a friend that did.
Cheers Dave.
Be upstanding and lets hear it for our wonderful NHS.
10 days ago my tame drunk damaged her foot slightly. Pain.
We don’t have to make morning appointments at our doctors (100 yards away), 6 mornings a week we can walk in and ask to see the doctor of our choice. The system works well. So 10:25 yesterday morning off she goes, back 15 minutes later “he says pop up to the hospital and get it X- rayed”. Off we go, 12:15 job done at the hospital, result given (no broken bone), down to Wetherspoons for a pint.
Now we all hear of bad cases with the NHS, but WE think that was excellent service.

hiya,
Nowt wrong with that G O M, I personally can’t knock the NHS I’m still here
seven years after cancer located and major surgery being undertaken the
Royal Victoria Hospital and the now demolished General Hospital both in my
area of Newcastle upon Tyne did well for me and the GP’s in my local surgery
have never let me down with any aftercare I’ve needed and keeping me going
with all I need to keep my diabetes in check and any bits and bobs that show
up with the ageing process, but is the popping into Wetherspoons provided on
prescription down your way, I could be missing out here.
thanks harry, long retired.

I think it might be Harry, the great workshy unwashed seem to be able to sup on a daily basis. I know for a fact that one of them sits there for 5 hours EVERYDAY and sups at least 2 pints an hour and he’s never done a days graft in his sad, sad life. It makes me very angry that the benefits system is being ripped off by these people (and there are a hell of a lot of them). I grafted for 49 years, NEVER took a drink during the day, I reckon I’ve earned the right to have a pint at lunchtime. Who are the fools? us fellas who worked all our lives to EARN a shilling or two, or these riff raff who sponge on the state all their lives.
Sorry for ranting folks but it gets me as mad as hell. 49 years I did and I NEVER drew a penny unemployment benefit, always in work.
I know and understand that there are tens of thousands of good people out there who want to work and can’t get a job, and then there are these scum who WON’T work and are happy to let the state provide.
Brian you rant & rave all you like, I remember in 1964 I was off with my injury, I got pitence and drunken layabout went in and said we have no money we will have to sleep here, and they gave them money to get rid of them.
