Got loads to do today, just stopped for a coffee break.

Still having trouble with the site! :-| :-(

Yes it is getting a nuisance trying get get in on threads, but we are all suffering ,maybe we ought to demonstrate on a march to Head Office !!
Cant think where that would be ? could be USA ...LOL

Its a lovely sunny day here .....so I have put all bed linen in the wash before I go out to town.


Stevey I loved that joke very funny ....

Hows our Georgey ?

MORNING ALL.

Been missing because I couldn't get on. Got onto other threads, but not this one. Is it something I said? lol

Raining all night, but brightening up now.

Linda still thinking of you and wishing you all well.

Sacre Coeur is beautiful. We went last year, there was a choir singing when we went. All nuns. Me, being a silly beggar, burst into tears.

Hope everyone is well.

See ya later - maybe- if I can get back on.

:-) :-(

Morning Cath,

Like you I'm getting really peeeeedddd off with all the carry on and I'm seriously thinking of not renewing my membership when it becomes due. :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Rita,

Gold in them thar hills !

The mine is an old one that had been in use for a long time, 100 years and more, then closed down. They tried to reopen it in the 90s and gave up because the price of gold was so low. So here we are again.......because the price of gold is now at a record high....they will try and extract what they can.
Estimates are 1 OUNCE of gold for evety TON of rock. That's gonna make an awful impact on the local environment at Tyndrum. Not everyone is happy about that. :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(
It will bring a few jobs for the locals and that is much needed.

The Queen Mothers Wedding Ring was made from Scottish Gold panned from the Kildonan River near Helmsdale in the North.

A bit of useless information for those that like that stuff. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Morning All !

What a mess trying to get on here yesterday. Seems that the GR Mainframe Computer can't cope with the volume of work it's getting :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

And as for Hot Matches.....that's now just a thing of the past.....I haven't had any for months :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Shelly, Our lives revolve around numbers and passwords now, forget them and you don't get anywhere fast :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-|

Gonna fix a couple of rainwater downpipes on my nieces house today. Need to get them done before we start getting the winter downpours. They are cast iron and because it's a listed building they have to be replaced with the same type. Hey ho ! Work for Uncle Stephen :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I did have a nice time in Paris.

Have a laugh !

An American photographer on vacation was inside Westminster Abbey taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read '£10,000 per call'.

The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for.

The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for £10,000 you could talk to God.

The American thanked the priest and went along his way.

Next stop was in Lincoln
There, at the cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it.

He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in London and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was.

She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for £10,000 he could talk to God.

'O.K., thank you,' said the American.

He then travelled to York, Durham and Liverpool

In every Cathedral he saw the same golden telephone with the same '£10,000 per call' sign under it.

The American, upon leaving the N of England decided to travel to Scotland to see if the Scots had the same phone.

He arrived in Glasgow, and again, as he entered the cathedral , there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read '50 pence per call.'

The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign. 'Reverend, I've travelled all over England and I've seen this same golden telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to heaven, but in England the price was £10,000 per call.

' Why is it only 50pence here?'

The priest smiled and answered,

'You're in Scotland now, son .... it's a local call.'

Hi Pat
what a shame you didnt get to go into the Sacre Coeur, it is one of the lovelist I have been in and I have been in a lot all over the continent.The last time I went it was a beautiful day and the artist were all out with their easels and crowds were standing watching them. The Dom in Germany is lovely too but not as nice as the Sacre Coeur,in my opionion
Still you seem to have enjoyed your trip to Paris..

I had a nice email from GR this morning,I thought that was nice of them .

George I hope your feeling better after your fall. it must have shook you up.I hate climbing ladders even small ones, I get giddy.


Rita

Pat

Perhaps the old chap was a muti-millionaire looking to pass his cash on to a young lady

Never mind you can always go again with 'Fluffy Paws'.

He knows how to show a lady a good time

Hi Everyone,
I had a nice time in Paris.The weather was cold and sunny.Unfortunately I didn't teaste much French food because I ended up going around with an 80 year old man who wanted chips! Some people on the coach thought he was my uncle but we just sat together. Cheeseburger and chips is not my idea of fun when you're in Paris :-P
Still I saw the sights but I didn't see The Mona Lisa. I got a photo of the Sacre Coeur but I never got to go in there because the man I was with had an arthritc knee and I don't think he would have made it!

when I move here to Surrey. my daughter and my son in law took me out to buy furniture as mine in Norfolk was fully fitted in the 3 bedrooms and the kitchen so I had nothing I went and ordered a fridge/Freezer and a cooker that was fine, when we went into a posh furniture shop to buy a settee and armchair , my son in law and daughter went to look at a bookcase. the guy who was dealing with my order took my card and started to walk over to his office. my son in law went after hm and took the card off him and said you deal with this in front of us.
He went very red/ and walked back to the desk and did it there.
My son in Law said dont ever let anyone walk off with your card if they have to go in the office you go with them.
I was always so careful after that.

Rita

Afternoon all, dark wet day today........ still mild though.

Linda, you are still in my thoughts........... so is your mam. One day at a time.

Pleased you got it sorted Rita. My membership is due for renewal soon, hope they don't mess it up the way they did with yours.

That man will soon get sick of ringing you if you lay the phone down as soon as you hear his voice.

Shelly, is that you on the left of your avatar? The diet's going well isn't it? :-D :-D

Marilyn, so many people lose money that way, my brother lost quite a bit, he never found out how it was done........... he swore down he never let the card out of his sight.

Rita,

Thats terrible for you, we get calls most evenings and sometimes during the day, Pete just lets them have a few choice words.......

Rita ...its all at random getting phone numbers.

Good Idea leave it off hook for a while, they will soon get fed up with that.

Thank you Jean for the breccies .....I had porridge again with raspberries ..lovely.

My neighbour has just discovered his bank card has been copied and someone has spent £550 on it in Thailand !!
He tells us that he thinks our local Petrol Garage copied it ....so he's going to the police today, to get it investigated...........moral of this story is to never let your card out of sight get them to swipe it as you can see it !

I'll be back soon .....
