Ringo for PM...! Sorted! Bear would quite like to see a "Paddington Bear Party" - have loads of P's running for every seat in the country, with the Leader of the Party being "Big P." himself. I've a sneaky feeling that after recent events he might just cause a real upset. The thought of Paddington meeting POTUS etc. would be a real scream. And let's face it, Paddington seems to be doing alright in the Ukraine at the moment.... (ISTR a similar event where a Footie Mascot(?) ran for Mayor somewhere in the UK - and won. I believe that he had a pretty decent career at it as a result) Edit: Found it - Angus the Monkey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Drummond#:~:text=Stuart Drummond 3 hours ago, J. S.

Really miss those after school visits that we used to get. One of Bear's GREAT regrets in life is not making the effort to see GDBear more often; he lived 100 miles away - but Bear had a car. Very big mistake. He died back in 1992 - if only he was still around now....😢 Bear here.... Washing done. Tick. Then it was stripping the wallpaper - oh, deep joy; I started around half nine - and finished at half six, with a break for a large chip roll, jumbo snagger n' beans. The walls underneath weren't in as good nick as I'd (unreasonably) hoped - but more as I expected. "Some" filling will be needed.... Stripping the high bit of the walls was, how shall we say - "interesting"; I had to use the BBL** normally used for exterior work. Coving that area of ceiling won't be fun, that's for sure. Tomorrow won't see any further H/S/L work - I'll have a break from it for a day as I have dross to take care of - insurance quotes for the Bearmobile, a lost ebay parcel to claim for, a missing chuck key to find - or order (it's a very small one) plus other general stuff that needs a Bear's attention.

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted October 22, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 22, 2022 Evening all from Estuary-Land. The wet stuff has been falling from the sky but fortunately Arthur Itis has remained quiet. I've got to re-glue some wobbly chairs so when I was in Tess Coes I bought some Gorilla glue. When I went to put it away there sitting in the cupboard was another identical container of Gorilla glue. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post BSW01 Posted October 22, 2022 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) Good evening everyone As I mentioned earlier, Sheila and I went for our Covid booster and flu jabs today. The weather was very kind, with the sun shining all the way, making for a very pleasant walk, 3/4 mile there and 3/4 mile back. We both had the new Pfizer Covid/Omicron drug, thankfully, so far I’ve only had a mild reaction, just a slight ache when I extend my left arm (Covid), no reaction at all on my right (flu) jab. Sheila isn’t fairing as good, both her arms ache and her neck does too. Just before we set off the postman delivered a letter informing me that I’d won £25 on the premium bonds, my second this year, happy days! Ava was stopping for tea tonight and Mike and Sarah joined us too. So this afternoon I made a large batch of Chicken Makhani, vainly hoping that perhaps there would be a little left over to put in the freezer. But guess what, it all went! I suppose I shouldn’t grumble, at least they appreciate my cooking enough to not leave any. Mike and Sarah. They kindly offered to take Ava home, so once they’d all gone, we had a quick tidy up and then settled down with a nice bottle of Shiraz and watched some recorded TV.

Sans pants? No. It wasn't on Auntie. I don't know when Humphrey B. Bear made it to Brisbane, though my brother watched it - I'm guessing on Channel Nine. The felonious wobble board singer had Coogee Koala as an offsider roughly contemporaneous with Humphrey B. Bear in his primetime variety show. I don't recall ever thinking they were anything but a person in a crummy fur suit. Big Ted and Little Ted were definitively teddy bears. When I was very young, the programming I remember watching was all ABC. Afternoons included shows like Play School, Andy Pandy, Mr. Squiggle*, The Magic Roundabout, The Flowerpot Men, The Cisco Kid (at 5:30) and Dr. Who came on at six when dad came home from work. * A very strange show in retrospect featuring a puppet cartoonist with a pencil nose, but I did like Bill the Steam Shovel and Blackboard. Inevitably it ended with dialogue like: Blackboard: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Mr. Squiggle: "It's upside down Miss Pat. It's a girl on roller skates with a yo-yo." I can imagine chemically influenced university students enjoying programmes like Mr. Squiggle, The Magic Roundabout and The Flowerpot Men.

RMweb Premium TheQ Posted October 23, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) I want to know why the Bear was on strictly come prancing last night, actually he had a friend on there as well, he was looking distinctly like a foxes mint bear. Mooring Awl, 7.5hours sleep in bed with only a couple of wake up and turn overs. Needed that... Woke with very unhappy forepaws. They, like the forecast, indicate rain. Didn't have TV in my early years, I think I was about 7or 8 when we got one, so I went almost straight to Blue Peter, though with younger brother and sisters the TV was on for their children's programming. Then of course we moved to the Hebrides 71-75 where was snowy black and white BBC 1 TV only, so I didn't see that generations child's TV either though I wasn't interested anyway. There are surprisingly few fords in this area of Norfolk, mostly I suspect because the ground is so soft.. Saying that every day going to work I travel over Wayford Bridge which is just north of the former site of the old bridge. When being built the new bridge's site showed signs of the former ford. There were many former ferries, but the only real one left is at Reedham, though there is one in Horning in the summer it's pedestrian and bicycles only, operates a bit like a taxi as it goes up and down a section of river not just across it. There was a ferry at St Benet's Abbey going south over the river Bure, running as you'd expect at the site of the former Pub. I'm getting hints from Ben the I want out Collie.. Time to go on patrol... Edited October 23, 2022 by TheQ 15 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
