Tea? (Part 2)

Yes. You can get used to anything given enough time.

Can I put that to the test?

Amongst the left handed on here, any of you able to write using both hands at the same time?
Clever bugger at school could do it, whilst another would write backwards with one hand when doing the same.

Struggle to write with just one hand

Why do you dislike Aberdeen? Never been there, but just curious about your comments.

Not fond of any cities. Am a country boy. Make eye contact and smile in Aberdeen and people find the pavement very interesting whilst clutching handbag/wallet. More lonely/fearful people in cities than in the countryside that's for sure.

It's like that in Birmingham. Don't trust anyone who looks at you let alone anyone who heaven forbid says hello. Here I have gone out and not even locked the front door. i have even left my car unlocked. In Brum, if you go to the petrol station you lock your door to go and pay.

I suffer from a condition called Postural Drop and can at certain times and conditions lose consciousness. In Insch I'll come to with someone keen to assist me. In Aberdeen a gap appears around me as if I have the plague. Had my watch, meds and wallet stollen on one occasion whilst lying unconcious. No I'm not fond of cities!!!!!!!!!!

Still occasionally have to write the odd cheque. I remember hearing about left handed cheques, don't know if the Halifax ever issued any left handed cheque books. Always used the normal version, I guess another example of the body adapting to a world that is stacked against it.

The Halifax do issue them, you just have to ask for one.

That's terrible. No wonder you don't like going to cities.

Sorry....got called away.
Daughter (18) had been out for a meal with her boyfriend in town.
As she was getting on the bus at the bus station, some drunken polish man touched her up. He was with another, older polish man.
She shouted at him not to touch her again and he leaned towards her (she said like he was trying to kiss her)....so she screamed in his face to 'Get the f*ck out my face before I deck you'.
The bus driver asked if she was okay and the older guy got on the bus and apologised for his friend although she said his english wasn't that good.
She's fine but I advised her to report the incident but she won't

That's a horrible condition and it must be scary to be out somewhere you don't know.
Some people are just scum!

Two things, plastic whistle & a knee. Knee in the crotch if the whistle fails. Not that I condone violence, but she shouldn't have to put up with that sort of behaviour. Never pull a phone out as its likely to get nicked/damaged.
Back reprting it though. The next time the person may not be as lucky.

Thankfully the 'scum' is pretty much confined to larger conurbations and here in Insch I have been fortunate enough to find myself in a caring community. I don't refer to Insch as 'Paradise' lightly.
