- even frenchie wouldn't be in this one though, doubt that he was born in 1935

 

Thank you BB. You are quite correct.

 

Two good films BB. I found the 1950 Watford-Manchester United cup game as well.

 

Sorry I have not posted in a while, I felt it best to hide my opinions after the Middlesborough game as some views on certain refs/scottish players may have got me into trouble. Anywhoo, hello

 

Hi Supergeo... i'm sure i'm not alone in thinking that all posts are welcome, regardless of whether they are agreed with or not. In fact, if they're controversial, it makes it more exciting .

And with that, i'm off to bed. Night night all!

 

Morning :yes:

The more the merrier. We need to bump up the active members on this site to make it worthwhile. So keep posting.

Morning Yorkie and all others who went to bed at a reasonable hour.

Hornette......3.05 am Did you have to wait for yours legs to stop moving?

Coffee should start the day off here. Meteo say we may have a shower later. Hope they don't mean the England team.

 

Morning Frenchie..

I dont expect to see Mme too early this morning

 

Morning all - need a coffee

 

Got done for speeding on the day I was bringing Lennietta back from hospital. It was a nuisance as I was not driving stupidly but came upon a daft old codger meandering between lanes on a dual carriageway and so took the chance to get past after a roundabout - unfortunately I did 79 in a 70 to do so - given that the road was quiet and it was a 2 lane dual carriageway it was not at all dangerous. However just my luck that there was a camera van in the layby to the side - and by the time I saw him it was too late and i was radar'd

Instead of points and a fine though they offered me a Speed Awareness course which if I completed would mean no prosecution. So I took that option and so lost yesterday to sitting like a naughty schoolboy in detention being told that speed kills.

 

Godan daginn til allra. Cappuccino, coffee, tea and donuts are on the bar.

Frothy cappuccinos for W_Y and al
Coffees for COYH, Frenchie, Kev rob and theo
Strong coffees for Lenny and Sandy
Milky coffee for Yorkie
Strong black coffees for Bragi Norway and zen
Tea for jsybaz
hot chocolate with marshmallows for BBW
Tea and cake for Minx
Caramel latte for Hornette
Redwine for NZ as he is so ahead of us in time

We watched the film Invictus last night and Frú Ak wants to see a rugby game. She also asked of the best teams and was surperised one of them is from Watford.

 

Hornette I have one as well.

Is bright and sunny here today 7C and 6m/s wind. There is snow still on grass areas but the roads in the town are clear.

 

Hi all doesnt look good in the cricket ,Leo lack of speed kills too!!! Could be worse you could be here ,slowest speed limits in the world and the most draconian fine system in place!!! My wifes last ticket for being 12kmh over the limit cost me 650 quid!!

 

Lenny, had that been me I would have had a fine time arguing the point!

I spend a lot of time driving on notorious rural roads up here - about 400 miles a week for work - and long ago reached the conclusion that it wasn't so much the speed that kills but the lack of speed. There is nothing more frustrating that being stuck behind trucks/buses/vans/farm traffic - or oldies taking their cars for a walk - travelling at 35mph on a hilly, twisty rural road where there is no chance of overtaking 'legally'. I totally understand why drivers often take risks that they shouldn't or have to speed to catch up lost time.

Slow start by the Poms in the View attachment 1560 but they look to be recovering. Wonder if it'll be enough?

Best remain quiet about the Aussies

 

Hornette - Mrs W_Y and I have done the London Moonwalk 3 times, it's a great experience and any excuse to put a bra on!
Training is tough but well worth it, and the 20 mile training session will soon be over. First year we did it was 2006, after finishing I had a shower and went and got the train down to Cardiff for the play off final (I had decorated a yellow bra with hornets all over it!)- I was surviving on lager and adrenalin
We are giving it a miss for a few years as our friends and relatives are fed up with us chasing them for money (I just threaten them with the pictures of me!) and Mrs W_Y is back at college and cannot train properly.
Have you got a justgiving donation website? Happy to donate if you can find a way of directing us there????

 

I do 80km a day to work and back also down country lanes infested with tractors etc!!! and totally agree with BB I like the isle of mans law about banning caravans on the roads as well should bring that in here!!

 

Mrs Zen did the speed awareness course. Apparently one of the questions was along the lines of "what do you think of speed?" To which her answer was "Great, isn't it." The funny thing were all the excuses being give, I'm new to the area, I didn't realise, etc.

 

And thanks for the coffee Ak, went down well after grass cutting.
