I've cycled along that little road several times so must have been. There's lots of standing stones around here.

Absolutely agree. Even a standard letter with my name scrawled in biro in the gap would have done. All they've done is shown that they're not the sort of organisations that care about people, and thus demonstrated that I'd had a lucky escape.

My bowels were evacuated in the dunny, and my mate Kirk almost died.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

Have any of you ever read Ozzy Osbournes biography? Probably the funniest book I'd ever read.
He'd not been well and was all bunged up inside, so had taken a load of laxative. He'd gone to look at a house to buy which was owned by Roger Whittaker. Halfway through the viewing his bowels finally succumbed and he just haaddd to go, so he dived into the loo and opened the bomb bay doors.
He explosively did the deed and made a right mess of his bootlid. Only then did he discover there was no bog roll. In a panic the only thing he could find was the shower curtain, so he pulled it down, polished his ring, then scrunched the curtain up and hid it in the bath.
It's a brilliant book and I was in tears of laughter for much of it.

It's a brilliant book. My favourite chapter was "The Day I Killed The Vicar."

He went to the toilet after he'd been?

My Dad, born 1918, so, just at the end of one war, was conscripted (Army REME) for WW2, age 21.
He never really talked about the war, or the Army for that matter.
After a few weeks basic training, he was shipped off to North Africa, was in Tobruk, then, shipped off to Burma. Never back to UK once between 1939 and 1945. No doubt, many others were in the same situation.
There were a few things he would not do, in later life, all on the basis that he had had his fill of such activities during the war:
1. Camping
2. Attend any form of marching or ceremonial event
I don't think he was a willing Soldier, and, I am sure I would not have been either, born in 1947, thank goodness, I never had to find out.
Good morning fellow retirees,
A bit late on parade but it was my turn first on the turbo before swapping out the seatpost for Mrs Tenkay. I've reached Chester on my virtual virtual LEJOG, new Brooks cambium C17 on day 2 of its trial.
A lovely sunny day out there so I'll venture out for a walk later, there seem to be times where it's less busy, and times when the world and his dog are out and about.
Have a smashing day people 🏃🚶🚲🌞

My car is booked in for Monday at the garage to sort my exhaust out and no classic, my car exhaust not MY exhaust. 
The local garage is only 3 miles away so much better than 15 miles for the other one.

Good morning. Up early this morning, 8.30 ! Sunny and quite warm too . Molly walked to the Post Office to buy a birthday card and a roll of brown paper. I will need to go back there later to post a parcel, apart from that, another day of taking it easy and relaxing. Stay safe every one.
