Good day to you all, Looks like I am on my own again. BOOOOOOOO. Not sure what your weather is like but here in Wigston very very cold and dark and that wind almost cuts you in half. Still no sign of our Jim sent mail again last night. still no reply. Catch you all later. Tat Tar June.

Hi Everyone - It's That Man Again! Ooooooooooooh Margaret, how could you think that I would do such a thing as sell "Porn" 8-))))} I spelt it Pawn, then checked what Anon wrote and had to change it - maybe Anon is one of these younger fellas what aint learned how to do it proper! Maybe he's big and strong (string), maybe he's the one someone on this site is looking for ;-))))))))))} Faith, take no notice of June, climbing a ladder is easy to someone who is profficient at riding a broom sidesaddle 8-)} you wouldn't hit a man in glasses - would yoooooooou? Ear ear, now now, cum cum our Jim, please say it's only finger trouble you're having with your puter! I do hope that you and Mary aren't still ailing. Tarrarabit - John xxxxxxxx

June is back. Jan how about putting Rick in the corner ??? You can always put some ditties on him, and he might move with out the aid of batteries. LAUGHTER. Marge you take care on the roads. Faith mind how you keep going up the ladder as we dont want to hear you have fallen off it. I just hope its Jim's computer that is playing up. I will send mail to him again tonight. Just with hope all is well. Catch you later. Tat Tar June.

Now John, I have to get one back on you, so how about you being a PORN broker on Snow hill, I may do funny things but I would never sell PORN . lol !!

Well its a lovely sunny day but VERY cold,minus 25and still lots of snow on the ground , I am off to Calgary for a few days my daughter and family get back from their trip to England, hope the roads are good, havent had snow for a few days so they should be clear but maybe icy so a slow drive.

Poor June thinking she was alone, never that June and I meant to tell you. X Well done John, I really enjoyed the tour of the Streets and occupations.

Hiya - It's That Man Again! June, glad you've found some live rellies 8-)))} I reckon Margaret's a masachist, bowling carpets and counting the days to the next fiasco ;-))))))} "Now here's a thing" - "Brummie Jack-of-All Trades" I am a jolly roving blade. They call me Jack-of all trades. I always fix me chief delights on kissing of the fair maids. To Brummagem I did set out to seek a situation. I'd often heard folks say it was the toyshop of the nation. I'm a roving Jack-of-all-trades, of every trade and all trades, and if you want to know me name they call me Jack-of-all-trades. T-was to the Bull Ring first I went. I there became a porter. I with me master did fall out, which cut it quaint and shorter. In Bull Street was a Pastry Cook, Dale End an Undertaker. I then removed to Friday Street and set up Coffin Maker. I'm a roving Jack-of-all-trades............. In Finbold Street I sold rag mops. In Bread Street was a grinder. In Dudley Street I lost me wife. Thank God I never could find her! In Hill Street I sold black puddings. In Edmund Street sold mousetraps. At the Old Wharf I did sell coal. At Suffolk Street made louse traps. I'm a roving Jack-of-all-trades............. In Digbeth was a Waterman, St Martin's Lane a Saddler. In Rams Yard was a Slaughterman. In Park Street a Fiddler. In Spisal Street sold hot puddings. In Friday Brid sold charcoal. In Phillip Street sold blacking paste. In High Street kept a louse hole. I'm a roving Jack-of-all-trades......... In Smallbrook Street made candlesticks. In Worcester Street, a Broker. In Floodgate Street made fire irons, both shovel, tongues and poker. In Ham Street was a Dialist. Newhall Street a Die Sinker. In New Street drove a Hackney coach, in Moor Street was a Printer. I'm a roving Jack-of-all-trades.......... In Walmer Lane steel trusses made. In Lichfield Street a sad shop. In Steelhouse Lane made snuffers, and in Bell Street kept a rag shop. In Church Street was a Silver Smith. In Livery Street made splitering. In Charles Street was a clock maker, and all such little odd things. I'm a roving Jack-of-all-trades......... In Bread Street I made spectacles. In Sand Street, an Engraver. In Weyman Street a Gunsmith. In Newton Street a failure. In Snow Hill was a Porn Broker. In Shadwell Street a Sawyer. In Bromsgrove Street made coffin pins. In Cannon Street a Lawyer. I'm a roving Jack-of-all-trades.......... In Wood Street I made sand paper. In Buck Street I sold prayer books. In Duddeston I made pattern cards. In Doe Street I sold fishhooks. In Ashted I made Jews harp springs. I Thomas Street, made all blades. So now you know the ups and downs of a Brummie Jack-of-all-trades. That is another Anon (probably a Brummie) thing, for which I claim no credit - except for the forever it took to type it in. 8-))))} Tarrarabit - Johnxxxxxxx PS - I hope that Jim and Mary are mending well!

Hiya Faith hope the weather soon clears for you - take care xx Brenda - hope your computer soon feels better xx

Hi all just popped in with a quick Hello, the weather is awful I'm trying to stay off my puter as we are having power failures...Roll on spring I hope Jim and Mary are getting better it's been a while since we heard from them, take care all, will try to pop in soon.

Good Morning All, Marge glad you are ok and our Jan & Rick. We are a bit thin on the ground, not to worry when things settle perhaps all of our friends will be back. Had mail from our Brenda's daughter this morning, saying her mom's computer has gone sick, but she hope's it will be well in a few days time. S.O.S where are you Jim ????????? I have had some more info re my rellies on my dads side. It seems they came from Somerset way way back and one of them sailed on the vessel (Amazon) in 1863 to the USA. Thing is he had an unknown father so it looks like is mom was a very naughty girl. laughter. John are you still in the shower having a wash to the music ???? LOL. Catch you all later love June.

Im here just to lazy to say much, just got back from carpet Bowling, only 5 of us there today, did more visiting and reliving Christmas and New Year and saying how lucky we are to be safe and happy after all the other troubles in the world. even though we have lots of snow and very cold we still all agreed we should quit moaning about things we cant change and enjoy our health and friendships. So theres my sermon for the day now if I can just live up to it. Anyway hope everyone is over all the festivities and we now only have 363 days till we do it all again. Byeeeee Marg.

Hi June put the light on and stop sulking lol - there might be spiders in the dark :-)))))) Hangovers all cured - feeling fine now. Where is everybody are we playing hide n seek? Hope Jim and Mary are ok Love Jan xx
