She has lovely big teeth though.

I wouldn't mind a new red coat either. I bought this one, greatly reduced, naturally, in 1999.

Hello, just having five minutes on D's PC.

1) I like demolishing things

2) Someone on GR probably saved my life.

3) someone formerly on GR did their best to ruin it.

4) I never forget a kindness nor an unkindness ( though I may choose to forgive the latter ) . I have an excellent memory for conversations lol. ( a blessing and a curse) .

5) I can't watch sad films about animals ( Lassie, Flicka, Dumbo!)

add 6) I've never been engaged to either John or Dermot :-D lucky men!

Add 7) I seem to have killed the thread lol

I like Surprise Surprise
I am a member of Glamorgan Family History Society.

Two is enough. Even I am snoring. zzzzzzzzzz

Poor Rose. Let me help. Coleg Harlech? 1963? My real name is Quentin. Dermot is really Giles. Still no recall? May have to get Hayley to read something for you :-) :-) You had Giles' ring from 7 Jan till 8 Jan that year and then you found someone much better - and the second fiance (you called me Q) could only match up to your exacting standards for about a week. ;-)

1) My first job was an apprentice at large building company, have been a builder all my working life.

2) a car I was in was crushed by a articulated lorry, and so was I, but, I'm still here :-D

3) I was divorced two years after my accident.

4) I used to be a reasonably good amateur boxer.

5) I have only 4 extremely good friends who stayed friends throughout the bad times after my accident, one in particular, but lots of mates.

6) I enjoy a good drink or two or more
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

1..I have been before a court judge many times but never been charged or have any convictions. ;-) :-D.

2..I have never ridden a horse.

3..I dislike cold drinks.

1. My dad was reared in the family thatched cottage; open fireplace; no electricity or running water.

2. With the aid of modern technology, it is possible to view photos on the Net of the said cottage following recent renovations by my younger brother. Very pleasing.

3. When I was a youngster, sometime in the last millennium, my Godmother used to tell me that I was the spitting image of my aged Aunty. Didn’t go down well. May God be good to both of them.

4. I keep mislaying my invisible hearing aids.

5. I haven’t got a bitcoin to my name.

The first time I had a bedroom of my own was earlier this year age 59.

Over the last 10 years I have lost 2 inches in height I'm now 5' 1"

I hate being this short.

I told the Doctor I'm not overweight, I'm under tall.

I have a dry sense of humour apparently :-P

Wondering if I should be impressed by Wend, I looked up to see who Dean Gaffney was.

JustJohn

JustJohn Report 28 Nov 2013 22:21

Dean shares his teeth with Joey Essex, I have been told. Never see them at same do's :-)

Dermot

Dermot Report 28 Nov 2013 22:23

1. I love long words & short words; unusual words & weird words.

2. I am greatly embarrassed if someone points out a spelling mistake in any of my tepid compositions.

3. It took me about 5 years to read ‘The Story of Civilisation’ by American Will Durant (1885-1981) - all 32 volumes.

4. My dad was a Ciotóg (pronounced Kithogue) - an Irish term for a left-handed person.

5. I’ve no idea who invented invisible handcuffs.

Good night!

Maybe Dean Gaffney is the one who should be impressed after all Wend allowed him into her home.
