Hi Pobby. Welcome back!

Totally agree with the others about modern medication, which is far removed from the stuff people of our parents' generation were dosed up with.

Not everything about the 1960s was good!

Pobby

Thanks all for the very warm welcome.

Hi old buddies. I am back. Slowly recovering from a mental breakdown that I would have never survived but for a wife in a million, a brilliant doctor and, sad to say, some powerful drugs. Hope all me old mates are keeping life together in these strange and uncertain times.

Late at night but will be a regular again here, if I may.

Chat tomorrow.

HURRAH!!!!!

You've been missed. Really missed.

Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back. And more....

Maybe the seller will re-list at a lower starting price.

I'm an ebay novice, but it's happened to me a couple of times so far, where something I want and watch but don't buy gets re-listed.

its been relisted.....at the same price though!

I just noticed that they had changed the succession rules for future monarchs giving female and male decendents (after the current crop) equal precedence. It got me thinking about who would succeed Lizzie if Charles were to pop it before his mum? Many seem to think it would be William but I thought it would be Andrew or Edward (if divorce is an issue) being the eldest surviving son. Anyone confirm how it works?

Do you actually do that? Phone to check they got places? Have them geo-tagged via their phone

Yes, on the first few days out on their own. My parents still expect a phone call to say I've arrived even now on long journeys. MIL has given up after we would forget to phone and go out (before mobiles were common place) leaving her unsure if we were stranded or worse. Now she has the maxim that bad news travels fast, otherwise assume all is good.

Congrats to DS2. Passing the driving test and getting your first set of wheels is a real rite of passage nowadays. Especially for boys it seems.

Does he have his own car or will he be driving the silvercar? Sorry

Driving his brother's car, whilst his brother is away at uni. Dark grey

and silvercar has never owned a silvercar This time I ordered silver and the order got delayed so I changed to white + plus suitable compensation. White is the new silver as cars go, and it does look better in white.

Lovely to be back. As many of you know I have been very ill but sort of coming out of the other side. forgive me nor not staying touch. Had a bout of paranoia during that time.

Well let`s try and make this a positive post but with a warning.

I got an e mail today saying it was from the tax office and to apply on line for a tax refund.

When I investigated it flagged up as a possible phishing site. The spelling was a bit iffy in the mail so I guessed as much.

Hope life has been treating you all OK. My friend, Mr. J. bravo sussed that I had been making the odd post under a different name. Whoo hoo, I qualify for a sockie award.

Well I struggled on working from home whilst I was ill. Thankfully just about coped. In April I was dismissed from my sales agency that I had run for over 11 years. I might have gone nutty but thankfully my mind was still pretty sharp. Now, risking that I am boring you, there are a number of legalities raised by their actions. Not going to drive you crackers with the details.

I am fortunate indeed that a large national firm of work related solicitors have accepted my case on what was called " no win, no fee " NDG will know the proper name for it. Phew, just got a draft of their claims letter. Frightened me to death, not sure what it will do to the bozos that I contracted to. Not only, as prescribed by law going for compensation and three months notice but they are challenging them on a ton of commission that they have been creaming off me for years. Tbh, it is a life changing figure. Bottom line was I introduced a international on line company to the firm. Wow did they spend! Usually worth £1,500 a month to me.

In the Autumn of 2006 they placed the account in house. Meaning that they stopped paying me. Very angry I was at the time but at my age, some money is a lot better than no money. Well blow me down and call me Doris, under the law they owe me all that back money as well. Solicitors are mailing the initial letter next week and would you believe? Under law they have to produce the sales they have made to the internet company since 2006 within, I think, 21 days.

Me, not very comfortable with this legal stuff. Even traffic wardens tend to make me break out in goose pimples. Well we will have to see. At least it will rattle their cage.
