I bet she's hoping she doesn't have a platinum jubilee in another 10 years. Imagine sitting through all of that and being 96.

Could she have a sapphire jubilee in 5 years time?

The last few were when one person was insisting i had a child, and seemed most put out that i did not, even seeming to suggest i was wrong or mistaken and i did have a kid and was denying it.

People are weird.

That's amazing. It would be funny except that I imagine it must be painful.

Beats my favourite idiotic question from the legal secretary who asked me if LNE and I had got divorced since he died.

Wow! The Red Arrows just flew over our house in formation! Didn't expect that!

They could easily have flown over my house too.

Wouldn't have seen them though, as the cloud cover is about 3 feet above my chimney :eek:

- Tom Jones. Good voice, quite static (probably too old to move around.
- Robbie Williams. Totally ruined Mack the Knife, awful.
- Shirley Bassey. Nice. I thought she was singing a bit too low key though. but maybe that's just me.
- Kylie. Rubbish. Nice legs though.
- That opera couple on the balcony. Not my cup of tea, but ok I suppose
- Madness. Great performance and loved the projections on the palace.
- Stevie Wonder : Sounded quite squeaky.
- Elton John : Out of tune, but nobody cares, good showman.
- Paul Mc : Bad.

Tom Jones was the only one of the old codgers who seems to have accepted that he is old.

He sings within himself, and as he knows he can't sing Delilah like he did in the old days, he has it rearranged and sings it like he can now.

Poor old Cliff, Elton and Macca. They are old, and it showed :eek:

Are you sure when asking about kids she wasn't talking about the baby goats?

Oh dear, thats ridiculous!

You, know, it wasn't so painful today. The person asking me had three or tour....i couldn't tell as they were all moving arpund very quickly and appeared to be identical though one is fifteen and male and another on i would guess three years or so younger and female. Person was also extremely grumpy an i couldn 't help wonderring if it wouldn't be worse to have ones you don't like very much

Any way, i was cross and a bit embarrassed rather than hurt.

Did not see any of it but heard macca on radio? Tv maybe, making a comment which made me. Amazed he is pipular. I gatheted he was saying its amazing to work for sixty years as normal people, like a policeman, work for twenty years then draw a pension.

Absolutely. . I might borrow one of yours next tine... I have feeling that a beautiful kid that looked like yours might be more objectionable than being barren. ( although perhaps that is unfair of me, nothing such was said nor anything from which i can fairly draw that inference ) Incidentally, she also told me she had a mare shot because it was barren. Can you tell i didn't like her much!:D

Ouch - was that after she had made you confirm you had none...lady needs help me thinks.

We would be honoured to introduce DKs to you. I don't know why but I am not an animal person but DKs do like it when we visit them and it is good for them to spend time with dogs as DW is frightened of them and so I have to spend a lot of energy explaining to kids that actually they are not frightening and that high pitched screaming and running away are probably not the best thing to do.


Chewie, make these words in to a sentence : trolls The feed don't

Was just speaking to Daily Mail again. They wanted to know DWs age. I had to explain about 3 times that it was more than my life is worth to reveal this. They couldn't understand that a lady might not want her age printed in the paper, which got me to wondering. Do you think most people when confronted with a reporter can't help but answer all the questions asked?
