  1. https://www.enr.com/blogs/14-gold-rush/post/56784-the-fate-of-the-falls-of-clyde What will happen to this vessel eventually as its now closed to the public in Honalulu harbour and seems like its in danger of sinking?
  2. Well Roy Erskine Bear [God Rest His Soul] has done a full seventy eight point inspection and notes that all the springy and wobbly bits are within spec. There is a degree of sloppiness within the lower appendages so it might be a touch of Moortens Aroma.
  3. It was a Dixon of Dock Green episode from the early seventies involving also a six or more wheeled passenger transporter thingy going across a causeway to an island where plod were trying to keep the dolly bird safe. She had other ideas and jumped into a Maxi to get away, hence the chase.
  4. Oh you mean Jumping Jack Flash! Ours doesnt deserve such a friendly moniker as he doesnt behave with the dignity one would expect from a quality product. And Dave the Dyson isnt much better he is a bit of an animal most days!
  5. Tell you what, vitamin D3 pills make mine worse supposed to take calcium pills as well but the combination ones i was prescribed have soya oil in them and i have a reaction to anything soya based so thats a no go!
  6. Wish we could have muggy, we were down to near freezing at dawn and it was chucking it down as well. No thunder though, the Dartmoor land mass to the north west of us greatly affects our weather.
  7. You are a John Major fan then?
  8. Should be really good, whenever i hear her name it always takes me back to her driving the Sunbeam Talbot Alpine in the early fifties. I nearly bought one when i was in the RAF but left it too late. It was red with the louvred bonnet and a beast! Ended up with a ZA Magnette instead.
  9. Yep count us in, falling over a couple of months ago didnt help as i dont bounce! First time for everything and Kathy has permanent pain in her knees related to bunion surgery some fourteen years ago.
  10. Life is too short, well it is for us olden's anyway. Ok for you spring chickens!🐤🐤
  11. I get a similar look if i attempt at any time to brush Teds teeth!
  12. 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.
  13. 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!
  14. And look relatively clean much more so than did the poor old Achille Lauro with its original 1947 Sulzers.
  15. Well at least you know that with your acrobatic skills they are always looking for dextrous individuals to help paint the Forth rail bridge!
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. I dont know what is happening happening as my quotes keep appearing appearing in duplicate twice or more.
  19. Torbay palms exotic? Nah, common as weeds 'ere.
  20. Oh darn it, i thought that was a bit of snot on the screen!🙄
