One of, possibly my all time fave film. My son bought it for me on cd years ago and I watch it (very) occasionaly.I always remember visiting my dad’s cousin years ago. He worked for one of the electric retailers and was one of the first people we knew with a colour tv. When we were there Zulu was on and I remember thinking it was amazing seeing it in colour, especially the blood!

The singing for sure. And Hookey breaking the whisky bottle and drinking from the jagged neck.

6.27 on a Monday morning I'd have been getting ready to leave at 7.00 for the drive round the M61/M60 to Heald Green
Morning all.
I agreed with MrsD that we would try Morrisons this morning. I really am not looking forward to it.
Yesterdays ride didn't happen as our weather went down the pan. I hope to get one in this pm.
Yesterday was good if I remember correctly.
I tried some of my malt whisky. Late lunch was BIG prawn cocktail followed by fresh bread with lovely Camembert.....yummy.

Is that the series or a one off film? I enjoyed the series and I'd be interested to see another version.
Watched The Luminaries with Mrs P.......I found myself staring out of the window much of the time. I've pretty much lost interest in 99% of terrestrial TV - can't help but feel it's all the same. I choose Netflix when alone but Mrs P generally has remote control.

It was horrendous. When I started there in 1994 it took 40 minutes, by late 90s it was 60+. The part of the business I worked with moved to Lower Peover so J19/M6 got to be up to two hours before I retired.That must have been nice for you.....M61 in rush hour
I gave up trying to arrive on time and just turned up early or late, did my bit and went home.

Well Good Morning. Another lovely morning has dawned though of late the weather has deteriorated as the day progresses.
Other than going to get new tyres I'm not sure what the day will bring.
You put your family in,
Your family out,
In, out, in,out
You turn 'em all around
Woah, the social distance......
Anyone else try a family get together in the garden in heavy showers yesterday? Geeeez.......

Good morning folksI worked for a company in Wigan. Good company and good people. Then in the 80s they were bought over and relocated to Wakefield. A 140 round trip up the M62 every day. Fortunately, with the job I had I dug my heels in and only did that journey twice a week, summer and winter....horrible.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Good morning gang. Had a nice day here. The locusts (youngest grandsons) turned up ate lots of food then disappeared back home to have more food.
The weather today looks a lot better. Might have a bimble today.
Stay safe folks.

Morning all fellow retirees, the sun is up and so am I.
Out with muttley shortly before it gets too warm and busy over the fields. Another ride out on the bike a little later and grass cutting this afternoon . That seems like the day sorted.
The recycling lorry came down the road at 6 this morning, the rubbish lorry is now coming down. Just thought I'd let you know.😊

Good news......sort of.
MrsD kindly helped me** celebrate Fathers day and has decided a lie in is more attractive than a trip to Morrisons. It will have to be done tomorrow though as there are things we need that you can't get from Aldi eg decent bread flour and coffee pods
**she did not get her hands on my malt whiskies

I am older than you but we never had access to the food these young ones do. There were only so many dripping butties or sheeps brains we could eat.
