When my Wife used to do the big Christmas dinner for family & friends. Her Brother (unasked) would always do all the washing up afterwards. If I'd been any sort of man, I would have got up and given him a hand. But you know.. I didn't want to steal his thunder.

Walk round the city wall can be pleasant in places, and a little less busy. Dungeon visit was quite entertaining in an amusing Am Dram sort of way. Quite a few short boat trips along the river.

Never watched Happy Days that often. However I have a Aunt who lives in New York. And when she visited one summer she gave me a Fonz T.Shirt, before it had been screened over here. When I wore it, people would say.. "Who the fuck's that ?" .. Then when it was shown, I was like Mr Trendsetter. Ha Ha.

Gregory Peck might've been good, though it would've been early for him. Not sure he would've brought the same warmth or fragility that Stewart did though ? Terrific film.

Cheers Paul, much appreciated as always mate.

Stood outside a dress shop in Blackpool, which my Wife was in. Some "Jesus Salesmen" started heading towards me, so I made my escape into the shop.. "Oh good you can tell me which of these dresses you like the best ?" my Wife says to me. She wasn't amused when I just stood there and said "Energise!"

Ever the gullible type. I was pretty old when it finally dawned on me that Santa wasn't real. Can't recall exactly how old ? But can remember saying to my Mother I'd finally worked it all out Junior Columbo style. And my Mother effectively saying "Oh my God you're a bit old to be just realising "

Thanks a lot Paul, very kind of you mate.

Thanks a lot Exile, very kind of you mate.

I wouldn't take it too badly. Outside of his close family circle, Gok is often mistaken for other people. Guess it takes Wan to know Wan.

Woe betide he who maketh mockery of the crockery. Could be they've secretly known all along ? .. Yeah probably not though.

The Findus Crispy Pancakes were sabotaged by a disgruntled employee (had broken glass put in them). And though they caught the culprit, and just about all were recalled. It pretty much finished them off. The factory was close to another factory were I worked. I worked with a few ex employees.

Yeah the Rice Pudding thing sounds like someone younger completely getting the wrong end of the stick. But I could be mistaken ? Could've been a thing 100 years ago plus, maybe ? But can't say I've ever heard of it either.

Sorry to hear that mate, and I appreciate your support of course. Presently it's just about updating the archive for me, given that Youtube is the only place I've bothered to upload my material recently. Should be done by the end of this month hopefully.

Thanks for the share and comment Paul, much appreciated.
