That's me all packed up and ready to go back home.

I have really enjoyed my time in Norwich, been to a couple of places I've never been to before caught up with a couple of very good friends, so thank you for making it special.

I really hope that I get the chance to come back again sometime, time will tell.

<cheers>
 
Absolute scenes at Jimmy Nail gig in Newcastle as he gets female announcer to tell audience that ‘Ain’t No Doubt’ won’t be performed tonight “for technical reasons”.
Nail then gets on the mic and tells the crowd “She’s lying!” before launching into his classic hit

Worked on a building site at Blythe with a chippy who worked with Jimmy Bradford(orBedford, I forget which) and in those days no safety boots. Jimmy stood on a nail which pierced his foot, and when singing local gigs was the introduced as "Jimmy the Nail" , hence the origin of his stage name.,

Ben Stokes in court today for his alleged homophobic attack last Sept.

Ok, just an aside about first aid. As someone who's involved in training people in this field, this is worth knowing:

I’m sure you’ve heard of a defibrillator, but do you know when to use one and do you have the confidence to do so?

What is a defibrillator?
A defibrillator or AED (automated external defibrillator) is a small device that can recognise sudden cardiac arrest and, in combination with CPR, can save the life of someone who has suffered from cardiac arrest. .

In fact, if used in fewer than five minutes after a casualty has collapsed, their chance of survival increases from less that a 1 in 10 chance to greater than 7 in 10. . .

Defibrillators might sound a bit scary, but they’re designed to be really user-friendly. Once the electrodes are placed on the casualty’s chest – and there are pictures to show you where they go – the unit will analyse the heart rhythm. A shock will only be issued if needed. This means you can’t accidentally perform shock treatment.

We recently had one donated to the lifeboat station Gandy.
We had training on it last week. It does look scary to use, but after a training session, it really is easy to use.
I particularly found the bleeps to help with the compressions very useful.
