    I have had the privilege of meeting June Brown on a couple of occasions at Sandown Park racecourse on variety club charity events. A very lovely and friendly lady she was too. The first time I met her she was accompanied by John Altman her on screen son Nasty Nick who is also very nice and friendly very much unlike his on screen character.

    RIP june

    Masterchef I do the cooking in my house you could say I'm Marv der Chef. <laugh>

    Have you ever watched the Australian version? They have a lot more complicated and technical stuff to do than our version.

    Just a flavour if you excuse the pun of Australian Masterchef. To be fair though these guys were former contesants given a second chance at becoming Masterchef champions when the show got new judges but Australian Masterchef is still wellworth a watch you would be amazed at what these guys have make down under. I would also help if I added the video. It is now in the post below

    It happened at a New York Airport. This is hilarious. I wish I had the guts of this girl. An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in New York for being smart and funny while making her point when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo. For all of you out there who have had to deal with an irate customer, this one is for you.
    A crowded United Airlines flight was cancelled. A single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travellers.
    Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS."
    The agent replied, "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks first, and then I'm sure we'll be able to work something out."
    The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly so that the passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"
    Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have your attention, please?", she began, her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him with his identity, please come to Gate 14".
    With that the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United Airlines agent, gritted his teeth, and said, "F*** You!"
    Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry sir, you'll have to get in line for that, too."

    Anyone watching Mohammed Ali, the documentary by Ken Burns? The greatest documentary maker on the greatest ever sportsman, unmissable. Even if you’ve never seen Ali or don’t like boxing, this is a great watch.

    A bit of good news for those planning a trip to Spain. If you have the EU equivalent of a Covid Digital Certificate then you no longer need to complete a Locator form before you depart from the UK. We do have the EU equivalent as in our Covid Health Passes. Information not yet updated on our gov.uk website but is on the Spanish website spth.gob.es

    A man and wife go on a romantic weekend to a hotel.

    Their double room reservation has been messed up, and instead they are given an attic room with 2 single beds. There is a raised beam on the floor between the beds, which they have to step over to avoid stubbing their toes.

    When they go to bed, the husband switches the light off and says to his wife, “how about a bit of nookie then?”. She agrees and makes her way across the room in the dark and painfully stubs her toe on the raised beam.

    Her husband hears her shout in pain and comforts her by saying “oh diddums did you stub your little tootsie-wootsie, come and lie in my bed and let me rub it better for you”. She lies next to him in bed, and they spend the next hour having wonderful sex.

    The wife then gets out of bed and starts to cross the room to return to her bed and stubs here toe on the raised beam again. On hearing her shout with pain again, her husband says

    “Jesus, can’t you pick your bloody feet up!"

    A mate of mine went to Fratton Park the other day. He went up to the ticket office handed over a £50 note and said Two please. The lady said What would you prefer? Defenders or strikers?
