Afternoon all. What have you all been up to today? Margeret, You have had me puzzled ever since you mentioned your Brother in Law made the Finger Post in Pelsall. I kept thinking "She's pulling my leg here" The Finger Post I know is hundreds of years old. Well I have tried for ages to get a picture of it on the internet. When did they put that new one up? Where is the old wooden one? The name Allsopp rings a bell. Sure there were some at my school in Brownhills. Catch you all later, Tara a bit. Jenny

Hello All, Grampa Jim. Do you mean There was a crooked man Who lived in a crooked house. ??? Pam, Do you live any where near Greenwood ? only I have a cuz there ? Lord Jim, Now I am still trying to find out the rates per hour that I have to pay you, now that I have made you a LORD LOL. I see we have some one that has strayed into our Brummie site. Now Harold where are you from ? if not from Brum you can still come on only if you are nice giggles Hi Jan, Nice to have you back, did you both have a good time ? As you see we have some new friends on the site. Any diamonds yet ????? All for now Tat Tar June.

Evening all !! Just popped in to say what a great time we had up in the smoke this weekend. Met some lovely GR people and had one or two sherberts to pass the time too. Photos are up on the GCPhotos pages on MSN by the way :-))))))) Well June, Jan already has one "rough" diamond in her possession lolol, but I'm sure another will follow real soon. It's soooooooooooo cold tonight - Jan's nose is freezing :-)) Think we might need to snuggle up in bed early so we'll bid you goodnight for now. Rick.xx

Hi Everyone, My Brother took me to the Crooked House a few years ago when I was over in England A great Pub, worth the trip, cant remember where it was but well worth the trip. Just got home from helping with a dinner at our seniors hall, we expected maybe 60 at most had around 100 turn up, but then it was a free meal, luckily we had cooked lots, so no one went home hungry. TTFN Marg

Hello June, Greenwood is about 3/4 of an hour away. Perth is sprawling out so many new suburbs. Regards Pam

The Crooked House is at Himley. Very fasinating Pub. Well worth the drive. Meals are good also. Just found out I am coming down for a few days just before Christmas. So I am sure my daughters will be wanting to take me out on a couple of occasions.Might get them to take me there. Last time I was down I took hubby to Kinver Edge. He thought it was great. Jenny

Brrrr it's CCCCold today. Cold as the feet on a frozen frog Cold as the nose on a healthy dog Cold as Charity And that's darn chilly But it ain't as cold as our poor Willy He's dead, poor soul,He's dead And I have cleaned that one up. I went shopping this morning, on my electric invalid scooter. Imagine if you can, Me in my long johns, thermal vest, woolly pullover, thick anorak,fur lined boots and a cap with ear muffs. The winter sun was shining brightly, so I had to wear my Wrap around sun glasses, and of course my thermal gloves. It is a wonder the scooter coped with all the extra weight, Weight limit 18 stones but, being a slim 13 stone 5 foot 8 chap, fit as a fiddle (with broken strings) I have a bit to spare. Mary had to peel me off when I got back home. To all our new friends I am Jim Charman, official court Jester. You will soon get used to my drivel. To answer a question, no we will welcome anyone on to our thread providing they have some connection to Brum, otherwise you will never get used to our unique sense of humour, and can understand Brummie Talk like "Wur ya bin, I ain't bin nowear I'm just guin." Jan and Rick Glad to see you back from your London trip. I am surprised they let you out of the B----y Tower( daren't fill in the proper name in case I get in trouble again) Did you get to see HRH June's country house? It's the one at the top of The Mall!!. HAHA. TWENTY SIX DAYS TO XMAS Soon be 2005. Well all for now from thawed out Jim and His warm Hearted Mary C. TWMA an

Hi Jan, Glad some one came on the site, I see we have a Margaret Evans. I cant understand what she means re her not having her sense of humour. We are all great friends on this site, we like a laugh. and its nice to hear from Brummies that live all over the world. They share with us all the things that they do or see. Grampa Jim, Hope all goes well with your show. Catch you later June.

Hello all ! Just popped in to say Hi to every one including all of our newcomers. Seems like the new Margaret doesn't understand what's going on - do you need a clue ?????

Hiya Jenny and Grampa Jim I guess everyone is busy getting ready for christmas - Rick is hopefully getting our tree on the way home from work I basically think hes fed up with me asking him to stand in the window so we can work out what size we need and when I threatened to hang tinsel on him to get the proper effect :-)) I was going to attempt to go shopping today but its sooooo very cold out Brrrrrrrrr Take Care Talk soon Love Jan xx p.s It was when I wanted to put the fairy on ricks head he really complained :-))

I cannot wait to get our Tree up. This will be our first Christmas in this house. We recently moved to a smaller house. Just hope the Christmas Tree will fit. Not even sure where it is going to go. I would have liked a real one this year, but His Lordship says,"No way they make too much mess" As if he would have to clean the mess up. Men Ugggghh Jenny

Oh My Goodness Jenny Rick has agreed to a real tree but once he realises they make a mess he can be a bit stuffy :-))) Hopefully he wont read yr reply till its too late hahaha - and anyway whats a few needles at christmas?? Men they just dont understand the importance of it all do they :-)))))))
