CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Hello Socs but alas I have to go so bye Socs.

Goodbye and hello

Hello, ever reliable Choccy. Shall I put the kettle on?

Err, can we cut straight to the bubbles please?

Sure can, what type would you like? Bubble bath, Champers, Lambrusco, shampoo?

Yes please :))

Oh Choccy, can I stand the pace I wonder. I can see I am going to have to obtain a bigger bath!

'urry up then.

I'm hurrying.

Evening all!

Sambuca please. ;-))) and then a Grappa.

...............and then keep the rotation going whilst I swing back and forth. ;-)

southern comfort please, make it a large one, very large...

Chased down with a small one obviously! ;-)

AL, probably a couple of large ones first! I am feeling a bit delacate today after a night out last night, I had to take the afternoon off work..

I got the bath, the only one big enough in the shop was one of those with water jets. It will just have to do. Off to get some taps now. Back later.

Spacie - that's terrible. No wonder GB is in such a state with half the country failing to cope with a few bevvies the night before. ;-) Well done for making the morning! LOL!

Al, I am proud to be contributing to the decline ;-)

Just got back home after an hour out in the country watching the Perseid Meteor Shower, we saw about 20, very nice.

Got up at 2.40 to watch the meteors, went back to bed at 3.10 after seeing nothing.......Never saw anything at all then until 9.30.

optimistic, they were about 1 minute apart and varied a lot in brightness and amount of sky they covered, the best one we saw was the first one as it streaked across the whole sky. You really need to be away from town lights, if you can see some of the fainter stars clearly then your eyes are sensitive enough to pick them up. Apparently the best technique is to lay on the ground and look at the sky your brain will notice the movement very quickly. We leant against the car and looked north.

You should be able to see them again tonight, but if you watch the sky you get them every night, this shower just ensures there are a lot more than normal.
