  1. Life is too short, well it is for us olden's anyway. Ok for you spring chickens!🐤🐤
  2. I get a similar look if i attempt at any time to brush Teds teeth!
  3. They did two lifeboat drills in Genoa before that last trip and thrashed those engines and it had been pouring out black smoke for the last year or so. Evidence of that on one of Peter Knego's videos on MidShipCentury in September of 1994.
  4. Well i hope you have more success than i did, originally going to NA hospital some years ago. Now its Specsavers and am attempting my third appointment with them as the new aids are just not working as they should. Now having to source batteries for my older hearing aids and not sure where to go from here. Trustpilot reviews for audiology at Specsavers are dire!
  5. And look relatively clean much more so than did the poor old Achille Lauro with its original 1947 Sulzers.
  6. Well at least you know that with your acrobatic skills they are always looking for dextrous individuals to help paint the Forth rail bridge!
  7. Had it for forty years and Kathy has had it since she was eleven and she is seventy one in July. Seems more noticeable on a quiet day and with or without hearing aids.
  8. And in sunny Newton Abbot our nearest star is shining bright. Fluffy white clouds scattered over a mainly green and not so pleasant landscape. A bank of cumulonimbus though looking threatening on the horizon. Pleasantly warm in the sunshine, wind SSW light.
  9. I dont know what is happening happening as my quotes keep appearing appearing in duplicate twice or more.
  10. Torbay palms exotic? Nah, common as weeds 'ere.
  11. Oh darn it, i thought that was a bit of snot on the screen!🙄
  12. Oh darn, thought that was a bit of snot on the screen🙄
  13. Oh darn, i thought it was a bit of snot on my android screen🙄
  14. Jasper Maskelyne was known as The War Magician and its a good read if you can find one. All sorts of trickery to fool the enemy in WW2.
  15. They are actually called Cordylines, this was or maybe still is the one at what was my parents bungalow in Coverack. Huge garden backed onto fields, great for star gazing i remember, also listening to the waves crashing on the beach, happy days.
