Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Wow, Sussex is bigger than I thought. It seems to stretch all the way to include some of the Maldives.
I was hoping to go back to the Maldives next year, but I might change my mind now and go for a weekend in Hove instead.

Al ,come and stay with me ,we have electricity ,central heating and running hot water in the south you'd love it .

You're spoilt rotten, you lot.
We have no need of central heating due to the warmth of our personality and sincerity, no need of running hot water when we have family bath nights in tin baths in front of the fire and we can make our own electricity by rubbing an amber rod with cat fur.
We have it all.
On the plus side, even if the weather is cold and crap, pre season cricket training starts on Friday at Gods second home, headingly. So summer must be nearly here.
Alan

Just one thing, jimmy. If I come is there somewhere for my Whippets and pigeons to stay? They share a room with the kids at home, but on holiday they do like a place of their own, because the kids are a bit untidy.

Making me feel homesick - came south (from Huddersfield) 35 years ago because there were too many bright people up north and it was easy to get a good job down here if you were warm. Still can't get the neighbours to appreciate that a flat cap is more than just a fashion item.

Your welcome Al ,its easy to find ,just ask someone in the village.

Partridge,
When I have to be away from the garden of Eden (Yorkshire) for any length of time I always take a recording of Tony Capsticks classic, Capstick Comes Home, with me, to remind me of the wonderful things to await me on my return. It brings a tear to my eye.
Alan

And here it is now for anyone who doesn't remember it.

Capstick comes home

Thanks Alan - wonderful. Think "wazzock" is arguably the finest word in the Yorkshire language. Once had a great day down Gomersal pit with dripping sandwiches for lunch.

Barking Mad you lot - Barking Mad

baz
You need to get one of these.

Bos,
I return the favour of an invite to stay, but there is a 50 cover charge and bottles of beer are 6 each where I reside.
However the girls are very entertaining and the wife will chat privately with any gentlemen callers for only 75 per hour.
I am sure you will find the rates very competitive and if you arrive on the first Monday of every other month, most of the sheets are clean too.
Alan

alan, think you got me mixed up with jimmyb. but 75 an hour sounds reasonable.....

Apologies, I did get mixed up. Only to be expected at my age.
Alan

Bos what are you insinuating ,iv'e never been so insulted ! :-) ..

well that's a lie for a start , jimmy!!!

Bos i like nice prudy office types called Cynthia ,rather like this one.

just typed naughty office into google to try to find another pic for jimmy. very strange girls these secretarial types. they seem to spend most of the time on their knees doing a bit of pipe cleaning. nice though.......

bos
I typed it in and got Smitty the office boy.

Jimmy,
Funny you should put the picture of the office girl on here today after my shopping trip with the wife.
Isn't the world full of funny coincidences!!!
Alan
