Dermot you have just got your warst night mear
cos ill debate with you lol

now were do i start
dus it matter if thay are a gay cuple cos were all serpost to be gods children

maddie you could nether offend mo cos she dances around her hand bag and weres white shose probley did have blond hair but sadly gone gray now LOL

OPS >>>>>>>RUNS>>>>>>STILL>>>>>>RUNNING>>>>>>>>>>

Mo is like the rest of us ....................thick skinned.

Dermot, I'm with Shelly on that one, nobody has the right to judge a person because they are gay. We are what we are, be it straight, gay, disabled, black, white ..............it's the way we're born, God made us that way.

Stephen I was about to grass on you to Mrs Stephen when I saw the 'beached whale' bit, but then I saw ... "She has stood the test of time. Looks as young as ever to me. And I could never love a substitute the way I do her." and I thought ...ahhhhh, that's lovely.

Linda, I've had an under-active thyroid for about 5 years now, well, 5 years that I've known of. I take thyroxine to keep it in check.

Hi Linda they were Baby Breaths

Shelly when they have travelling Vickers they often cannot get to the church .so they dont open the doors( some of the little villiges have shared vickers they travel around from church to church. as there is a lot of pilffering going on they lock the church doors until the service takes place then lock it again_. I dont know what they do in London ?

There is a little Church in Perivale Ealing it is a small church( my daughter married in there.I have the booklet somehwere ?all about it.)

They use to have to get to it by boat and the vicker rowed to the church they had little cubby holes for the lepers to sit at the service.

I had to finish the last item on here as I lost all the top icon so had to do my magic to get them back.

I agree also about gay couples being treated the same. the only thing I have to disagree on . and I have always said the same thing when people own Hotels surely they are entittled to accept whoever they want to into that hotel?. I am fed up hearing do gooders saying what someone else should do.. many Hotel will not take groups of young men. because of causing trouble drinking and making a party in their rooms which disturbe their regular guests. Many Hotels try to do the best they can for guest who go to the same Hotel every year. I have been to Hotels where we had young men in rooms above us and we have had no sleep. Some Hotel will not take young children so there are many Hotels you can look around for and book into.

sorry if I have offended but that is the way I feel. (I have lost my gold star now. )

What's this.........8.40 am and no sign of life on the Thread.

Must be hibernating or something.

(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?

Tea or Coffee

Porridge or cereals, Fresh fruit juice, Egg, bacon, mushrooms, hash browns, tomatoes, black pudding, sausages, etc. Toast or Morning Rolls.

All on the Hot Plate.

Didn't get back till the wee sma hours. But had a great night with friends.
and some good food to help it along

Caught up un all the gossip....sorry....no real scandal to tell you.

Temperature well down here -8C but, Joy of Joy, still no snow.

Have a good day ya all.

Catch you later.

EDIT......Morning Rita and Linda must have been typing up as you were posting....... hadn't noticed your earlier one.

Morning all
Well it is very white outside. But no more during the night.
Hopefully it gets no worse today. The family are supposed to come to celebrate hubby's birthday. No wonder he has an intense dilike of Christmas and the winter months. He has missed out so many times over the years.
ie Extra big presents to cover both occaisions NOT
Meals out frequently Christmas fare
Cancellations
People doing other things (more important)
I am only just begining to see these things from his point of view.

Mind you my birthday is usually around Easter, so do I miss anything, no luckily I don't think so.

Glad I could help on the flowers Rita.
The photo's are good Pauline.

Well have to tidy the house and lay the pulled out table ready for the hungry hoards !!

Have a good day and stay safe and in the warm everyone

Linda :o) XxX

Morning everyone,
another cold one here, rained all night, and snow showers now but too wet to stick. Airport is closed until 1 p.m so no papers this morning.
I dont have a hangover after last nights Christmas party,(steered clear of red wine) had a lovely meal and home before midnight like a good girl, lol.
Going to light the woodburner and have a lazy day.
Hope you are all safe, warm and well

Cath xx

Good Morning everyone.

What a morning. I think a bit more snow has fallen overnight. We are not used to it here. Shock to the old system.

Where I live is on the corner, then there is a main road where they is a division of Councils. One side of the road, Camden, the other Islington. Funny isnt it. Islington is not as wealthy as Camden, but Islington salt all their roads, while Camden just dont bother. I slipped and slid all the way to Camden Town yesterday. It was quite strange yesterday when I came out of Sainsbugs. It was swirling so much, I couldnt see more than a couple of feet in front of me. [Sorry I havent gone metric yet]

I can sympathis with your husband Linda. Mum's birthday was 20th Dec. people used to sidle up with a present, and say 'this is for both your birthday AND Christmas'. SO unfair. I used to have to buy her card in October, as there were none in the shops in December. Do they think babies are not born in December. We all know there are plenty born in September, 9 months after Christmas. lol

Can Pauline send me the re-touched photos. I do like a bit of colour. If you wanna colour me sitting on the chair, that would be great. I was blonde, I have green eyes, the outfit was grey check with yellow trimmings.

Hope everyone is well and warm.
Take care

see you later.

Catherine,

HANGOVER.......is that when you grip on to the edge of a cliff with just your fingernails?

Pauline,

Thanks for the 'touch up' on the photo.

But that Linford Christie 'box' looks a bit out of place on me.

ROFL

AW SH*T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has started to snow here again.

We have had very little respite from this white hell since it started on the 28th November.

Will get the snow shovel on the go again shortly just to try and keep on top of it.

The old hard packed stuff will now be totally treacherous with the new coating on the top.

He Ho life's a beach !

Maddie,

Council Boundary Line !

I n Edinburgh there is a pub that straddles the Boundary Line between the Council of Edinburgh and that of Leith.

Inside the Pub a brass plate runs right through the bar. One side Edinburgh the other side Leith.

Years ago Licence Laws differed from one side of the Bar to the other. When it was closing time in Edinburgh you crossed the line into Leith and could drink for an extra hour.

Needless to say it was called 'The Boundary Bar'.

Afternoon all.

We had a tiny bit of snow during the night and none since .........thankfully. With a bit of luck I'll be able to go shopping tomorrow because there's nothing stopping the Day Centre bus from getting here.

Maddie, I'll send you the photos, it's just a slight tint over the photo, that's all. Our Stephen came out very well with a bit of colour, quite a handsome man.

would you beleve i was up and out the house by 8am this morning

i went sunday market

Shelly what did you do, P the bed or what.
Was there many people at the market at that time of day.

Back to the usual chore......shovelling snow.

It's a very fine powder and shifts ok. The way things are looking I'll need to be out every hour from now until midnight unless the snow stops.

Then up early and start again.

Temperatures to go down to around -15C to -18C.

'It all makes work for the workingman to do'

No doubt the 'bampots' will create mayhem on the roads tomorrow.

Dame Shelly......are you ok.? Up at 8am......I hadn't even made your breakfast at that time.

Christmas Shopping......what's that ?

Don't you believe in Santa ?

Santa never lets me down......... every year without fail he makes sure our presents are there on Christmas Day.

You should always send him a wee letter with your requests

Back later after a bit more snow shovelling.

I had to open my big mouth and say we didn't have snow ..........we've got loads of it now. It started about 4pm and it hasn't stopped yet, it's already quite thick. Looks like I'm stuck in tomorrow again.

I've had my nephew and his family here today, but they've gone now because they're afraid they'll get snowed in.

Better get the shovel out and wellies on again.

Rita.....are you managing ok ?
