RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted December 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2015 I think that I've just found the ideal present for Richard (Happy Hippo) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0007494009?keywords=david%20walliams&qid=1450253627&ref_=sr_1_15&s=books&sr=1-15 (Apologies if it's been on here before) I want another Hippo book for Christmas! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted December 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2015 Ladies weren't the same when they made the defender. You can't stand on the front wings without breaking them. Yorkshire lasses are built real tough! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never stood on a lady's front wings. I imagine it would be difficult to keep one's balance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't like one sitting on their bonnets either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr Giffard LSWR 1951-71 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Mornin' all, Good to be out on the constitutionals again....even if dark, damp & dismal in The Moorlands just lately. Is had the mastectomy last Wednesday and was discharged the next day. Unfortunately, she picked up a D&V bug in the process and whilst her current medication dealt with the vomiting side a considerable amount of cleaning up has been needed to make sure that she didn't go back in. Inevitably I caught the infection and have spent the days since Saturday doing the housework and cleaning myself up. Dry wretching on dry toast and water isn't high in the fun stakes. Nurses have been coming in each day to attend to the drain which she was fitted with....this was removed yesterday but we now have to monitor her operation site for any signs of swelling...indicating that the fluid is still gathering, in which case it will need to be drawn off. Family funeral today and work tonight We had a table booked at a nice restaurant for our wedding anniversary on Christmas eve but had to change it to the day before when the latest hospital appointment with the consultant came through....for a summary of the tissue removed in the mastectomy. The consultant appointment has since been changed twice and is no longer on our anniversary....unfortunately, neither is our meal out. All the best to any with ailments Now music....Carols by Libera and Craig Ogden Feathered ones provided for Enjoy what you do Dave Edited December 17, 2015 by Torr Giffard LSWR 1951-71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purley Oaks Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Oh, and VW has sent a $500 debit card as compensation for the diesel NOx fiasco. A couple of weeks ago VW sent me an email offering £1500 off a new VW, but I imagine this a regular sales drive sent to all customers. If it's to deal with the NOx crisis it's extremely cynical - they'll know that most customers don't buy new. Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted December 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2015 Morning all. Quite warm here and even some sunny spells. Dave & Is, after everything else, D and V is horrible. Fluids in at one end and sudocreme at the other would be my advice. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted December 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2015 Yorkshire lasses are built real tough!Aditi wasn't born in Yorkshire but it was where she went to primary school. Probably where she learned to break Volvos! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted December 17, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 17, 2015 Morning all from a dry but overcast village. Last nights meal with the outlaws (FiL plus wife, both Bil's plus wives plus us two) went as well as can be expected. I always count such occasions a success if I manage to complete the day without slotting BiL no 1. Dave (TG) sorry to hear about your travails I do hope that things continue to improve. Jock, very glad that Harvey is on the mend. DD I empathise about in-laws. Anyway my saga with Amazon goes on. Our books are now visible again to the public though no sales so far. 2 days ago I had a 28 minute conversation with Shane from Cork who empathised with me and said that he would do his best to sort things out. He also said that he would stop the automated email responses and that I would be able to contact him directly. This morning I've got two more of the dreaded robot emails telling me that my replies went to a non monitored mailbox. No reply from the CEO so it looks like I'll have to try again. Anyway the condemned man has eaten a hearty breakfast in advance of my trip to the dentist for a molar to be extracted. I have planned a soft and liquid diet for the rest of the day and will no doubt need some Scottish Medicine tonight to ward off infection. The boss has departed to fat club and has announced that she will be out for dinner with them all tonight. Tht's the 4th meal out this week for her. I may well end up going to the clubrooms to do a bit of work. Regards to all. Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted December 17, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 17, 2015 Morning all from Estuary-Land. Sorry to hear of your travails Dave and Is and I hope you both get well soon. Jamie, going to fat club and having a meal out? seems to defeat the object somehow. I never turned over my SJ10 nor came anywhere near doing so even though it felt a bit 'twitchy' on adverse cambers at times. I think the problem was they became a fashion statement and many buyers expected them to handle like a mini with sometimes fatal results. There is only a handful left on the roads today, they tended to suffer badly from rust though I did once see one fitted with a home made 'woody' body. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2015 Morning all, Dave hope Is and yourself will be on the mend before long and in better form for next week. Weather here today is mild and dry and although it's still a bit early for it I might pop over to Reading to do some C.....mas shopping - not that I have the faintest idea what herself wants apart from what is already in the bag. Have a good day one & all. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lurker Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 A quick call to say best wishes to Dave and Is - and good luck to Baz's Herbert. And good to hear that young Harvey is on the mend. Younger Lurker is 7 today. The suggested changed in his routine to open presents at breakfast time left him non plussed. He'll get around to it later. We're going out for tea later (Pizza Express) so he'll enjoy that. Have a good day all! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lurker Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I think Mrs Lurker has got me the S15 I failed to sneak in unnoticed.....there had to be a reason it had got into the bag when I went to pick up a parcel from the sorting office. It's not my fault that Invicta Models was on the way back... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted December 17, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Aditi is still saying she really really doesn't want a present. Mrs NB and nyself agreed a few weeks ago not to buy each other presents. But.... She tells me yesterday not to go opening any parcels that arrive for her. My reply was "you've bought me a present, I thought we agreed not to - I haven't got you anything" "Don't worry - I've also bought something for you to give to me......." I wonder if can try the same approach with a couple of sound decoders...? Cheers, Mick Edited December 17, 2015 by newbryford 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
