    If I had it, I'd pay 10k for the foot massage - definitely the way to my :heart::D
    Glad to see you are sounding more perky Jim and lovely to see so many newbies getting positive stuff from your confessional - perhaps you should rename your diary?
    I've read your thread Jim; I don't believe you are watching Sky news before bed ;)

    Ha Ha, Yes those who have been here from the start will know the truth ! But once you've seen a 55 year old ex-stripper get a latex moulding of her nether regions sometimes the headlines are sufficient in rounding off your evening. I haven't even started the confessional yet unless seeing a 55 year old ex-stripper get a latex moulding of her nether regions counts as a starting point. See, I have so much to be sorry for .

    Hamster, Jim has become jaded by Sexcetera - and at such a young age...
    Good for you fixing your loo Jim - I guess the headlines will be quite sufficient highlight after a day doing that :rotfl:

    I have just seen the tribute to Henry Allingham on BBC2. Great programme and what a wonderful man, the public seemed to get a buzz just by being near him both young and old.
    Sometimes it is possible to achieve greatness just by turning up.

    Ah well its not just a fixed loo, I've updated my CV , sat in the Sun reading "an utterly impartial history of Britain" by John O'farrell (to the extent that my forehead is peeling) and polished off half a bottle of Gin. I am slurring my typing, but fortunatly I have spell check. It has now been raining solidly since 6pm and so far on my holiday there have been 3 days only with out rain. Part of me will be glad to go back to work on Monday (in the heatwave no doubt). I am bored of reading, I've seen everything in Blockbusters, I have seen everything on youtube and listened to everything on itunes.

    I missed that but saw some of the coverage of Harry Patch's funeral and interviews earlier. I couldn't believe how bright and sparky he was at 100yrs old - I missed that interview at the time too. I was very moved by what everyone had to say about him, especially the young soldiers.

    Didn't have you down as a gin man Jim - you must be listening to some of your mellower tunes.
    Know what you mean about the seen everything thing... I watch too much mock the week, reckon I've seen 'em all.

    Last day of Holiday and the Sun is shining. Out of the last 13 days it has rained on 10 of them. I am off to a BBQ today (only the second of the year-BBQ summer said the met office, absolute bollox says Jim).
    Have already defrosted the freezer this morning, why I didn't do it 2 weeks ago. Just had a call from the co-op bank regarding my Smile account. I said that I was surprised they were calling since I was on an agreed repayment plan through Payplan to which they replied -"Yes, I am surprised that we have called you if that is the case" and lo and behold it was just a computer error for which they apologised and wished me a good day. Full credit to the polite man at co op collections in Manchester. I can remeber the days when these calls used to get my back up, now I am very polite and I usually find that they are equally, if not more so, polite in return as they realise they have a 5 minute call which will be easy for them and no hassle.
    Why do I harbour a desire to be the Gaviscon fireman?
