Diane,

He's being pure something!

Allan

Crass.........

is that the word Allan?...........lol

Tec

Aw, Tec - that's lovely. You've made my day!

Diane - Before your time love! He was born there and emigrated in 1950. Went back in 1982 and was extremely disappointed - particularly with the house. It had been neglected and his father's prized rose garden gone.
I went with him in 1989 and he wouldn't take me there - so I didn't get to see Liverpool!

Not quite the word, Tec, more 'honey-lipped compliment payer'

and that's four words!

Allan

Ha ha! Pure gentleman!.....No such thing!

Berona,

Such cynicism!!!

And now I must go and prepare for my lsat stint at the office

Take care all

Regards

Allan

Is to-day your last day? or Friday?

Oh, my goodness - we will have you around every day of the week!!!

I must go too - if I don't get on that treadmill, I won't get through the door!

Bye all.

Berona, Friday will be my last day

Allan

My charm offensive has paid dividends before now, and was never offensive...........nothing wrong in paying a compliment to a lady.

Pure Gentleman? well, maybe not, but I did my best, sadly good manners are not always appreciated now.
Arriving together with a young lady at the doorway to a department store when I was away in the summer, I naturally held the door open for her.
She glared at me, then snarled "Do I look like a cripple"

Need I say more?

Tec

Yes Berona as you say before my time, ( wasn't even born in 1950 lol
I hate to see the house were I grew up from the age of 6, my dad too had load's of Rose bushes in the front garden, no longer there, all paved over. But some yrs before he left he gave me a cutting which I planted successfully in my garden, when I moved to another house I took it with me and transplanted it into my new garden, it was also a success in that garden. I then moved to a flat and put it in a big tub but it started to fail so I asked my sister to take it and put it in her garden, it is still there and is the only remaining Rose bush from dad's garden and I love to see it when I visit her's. My poor dad has no garden now as he too live's in a flat.

Well folk's it is time I went to bed as I'm feeling tired after all this nattering

Goodnight/ morning speak to you all again soon


Diane

Enjoy your day both Berona, and Allan,
Don't work too hard either of you...........Bye,

Tec

Goodnight Diane,
Sleep well, keep warm, it's a cold night,

Tec

Poor Tec - you can't do a thing right, can you?

I turned into an aisle in the supermarket and met another going my way and two coming the other way. A 'gentleman' bowed and waived me past - so I said "Ah! thank you. There - chivalry is NOT dead!". He seemed to like it.

We are out there Berona - but getting rarer, like dinosaurs lol,

Goodnight,
Tec

To carry on the conversation - I like good manners and I like having the door opened for me etc. I don't care whether other women feel that it's old fashioned. My father was a gentleman and when I met his brother, my uncle, I found that he was too. When we went to visit him he went down the two front steps before me then took my hand to help me down. This despite the fact that he was 88 at the time. I love it.

Berona - re the old maps. They are the maps from the 1700's and early 1800's. I looked them up because OH's family lived in a posh area on a road called Jamaica Row (Road). The old map shows some numbered houses and the old family house is shown as a square with an enormous garden. Of course the area is completely built up now and there doesn't seem to be any houses on that road. I thought it a little cheeky to imply that you would remember London being as it was in the 1700's:-))

Hi Mates!,

I'll quickly type this up and then go back and read up on what's been happening.

I've been in hospital since Saturday morning. Just got home today. I was dehydrated, so was put on a drip, only came off that this morning, with a 4 hour break last night when I had a unit of blood put in, as my Haemoglobin (sp) was too low. I'm still struggling to eat, but do feel a little better after my blood transfusion. Have also suffered with some brutal pain. Have been given some morphine to take.

Hope our British mates aren't too affected by the floods.

I hope you're all well. I'm off to catch up on 20 odd pages to see what you've all been up to.

See ya!

Hello Alison you poor love,

Best to get OH to print them off and you can have a lie down and read them all.
The drip can stimulate your appetite and hopefully food won't taste so blah!! Eat whatever takes your fancy - when you fancy.
Keep strong and we will (see I have nominated me to speak for all of us:<) ) all be thinking of you.

♫♫♫♫☺ speedy get well song.

Lots of love

Pərsə that's me with my e's hanging upside down.

xxxx and a couple of hugs.

Hello Diane and Perse. Good! We're slowly getting back to normal. Just need to find Linda now. Haven't heard from Colin for a while either.

Getting hot again here. Supposed to be about 25. Could be a little more - but shouldn't get any hotter now. Sundown in about 3 hours.

Hello Berona

We were all talking about meeting the famous - my mum danced with Eisenhower when he was just a Colonel - she was stationed in New Caledonia during the war, and he was visiting.
Another time she came home and said she had a lovely lunch in town, and I said so wondering why as she often ate out but then she said these two very nice young men asked if they could share a table with her. She had lunch with Tony Christie - she recognised him and told him "my daughter is going to see your show tonight" Some daughters do 'ave em.

A friend of mine went to school in Liverpool with Kenneth Cope who was in Coro.

Cheers

Persey

Hi Alison,

Glad to see you back - we've been worried about you.

Take your tablets and take care! Hope they help you to eat - or at least make life a little easier for you.

Love to you!
