I have been driving since 1977 and I have just incurred my first points for "speeding" on my return from Somerset to Wales last week.
In fact my first points for anything .
Got the wotsit in the post today.

I KNEW it was a bad idea to go away with Bezzie as every time we get in a car together something ~~# happens.

First on the scene of an accident,,twice.

Leave London 10pm to drive to Somerset to miss traffic and a big accident on M3 so we are stuck for 2 hours.

M25..Front tyre blow out...ker bang,try staying in control of car with one of THEM.....But I did.(brag, brag)

M25 blow up my Daimlers engine,unheard of apparently so garage man informed me.

M4 breakdown,wait hours for breakdown tuck.

And on and on.

And now this.Thats it,I am NEVER going long distance driving with HER again.
It doesnt happen when I have other people in my car,so we are bocked when together I suppose..

Thank you my good sir.
Idiot proof and done.

Yours
Fan

Morning all,

Just caught up on the overnight messages - 'MY', you were all very chatty!!

Tea and Danish Pastries for me please...yumm !!!

Hi, LK - before you ask, no I haven't done it yet but I will, I WILL !!

Don't worry though, there is REALLY nothing wrong with my eyes - I would be there 'double quick' if there were - I promise !! I wouldn't have asked on here if I thought it was an actual medical problem!

It was just one of those 'things' that I was wondering about like when you look at a light bulb, or the sun for a while then when you look away, or close your eyes, you can still see the 'bright blob of light' for ages afterwards.

Will get an appointment soon as I need to get new glasses anyway!

Ooopps! - just noticed - no Danish Pastries !! - Never mind, the croissants look delicious so I will have them instead.

Thanks Sylvs.

Croissants and jam please but I will take it inside.

Dusts off crumbs, clears throat........thank you very much Sylvs.



I was at school in Liverpool when Beatlemania was beginning. Some of the girls in my class used to bunk off school to go and chase the group. When I started work, I was in the city centre near the Pier Head and used to pass the Cavern in my lunch hour regularly. Back then I preferred Cliff Richard.....now I think I prefer the Beatles!!


William Roach was interviewed the other day - it was Corrie's 50th anniversary. Used to love it but haven't watched for years. Sad thing is, I remember walking along a road in Liverpool wondering what this 'new' television programme was going to be like.....arghh.


Grey, wet and miserable today and that's just me......lol




Hey ho. Off to deliver OH to do his helping out bit and I'll shimmy round Tesco's meantime.

it's the Beatles early stuff that I like, if I like any of it!

The later stuff really leaves me cold


I have to admit that I did go to see at least one of their movies, A Hard Day's Night


and also at least one of Cliff Richards, Summer Holiday



I was in digs in Liverpool about 1963, and the family had a 15 or 16 year old daughter ...... she loved the Beatles and Cliff Richard


and I was inveigled into going with her to see those films ........... otherwise her mum wouldn't have let her go


My good deeds of the year!

I live with a scouser so my only knowledge of "up north" is Liverpool. I have been a couple of times in the last few years once to take daughter to see her beloved Anfield (Liverpool football ground) and to visit the Cavern club, well the outside of it. We went to Albert dock and I was shocked to see a statue of Billy Fury who is another one of my favourites.
I think I should have been born at least 10 years earlier than I was seeing as most of the music I like is from the early to mid 60s.
Frankie Valli is another one I like seen him 3 times plus saw the show Jersey Boys about the group, I must say it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. Never been into the beatles only liked their early stuff if ex put it on
ja...x

I also loved Gerry and the pacemakers


actually preferred them to the Beatles!


I did go to the Cavern in Liverpool a couple of times in my very early days there ...... and it's possible that the Beatles were playing, but it was just about the time that they were starting, and well before they were famous. So they were just the house band!

All my famous ones were at primary school...none at senior that I know of.
I love Gerry and the pacemakers seen them a couple of times not in their hay day though once about 20 years ago and again 4 years ago still sounds the same.

ja...x

Thanks to everyone for all the information

I shall keep watch tonight!


OH went to the same school as William Roache .... of Coronation Street fame.

WR stayed on at school for an extra 1 or 2 terms to kill time before doing his National Service. Those were OH's first terms in the school


He says that WR was really nice, and very pleasant to the "littlies".

I think WR would have been 18, and OH was 13.



OH was chased down a street in Liverpool in the early 60s ............ Gerry of the Pacemakers was in panto, and this group of girls thought OH was Gerry

They chased him all the way to the train station


OH says he had never run so fast as he did then with a pack of screaming girls after him!


He did have a slight look of Gerry :))



but those are my only claims to fame


Like FBG ..... I don't think my school produced anyone famous ...... but it wasn't a rubbish school

At least, it wasn't ......... until it became a comprehensive

Jax one and the same

Did you go to school in Ulster Robert? if thats the man you meant he was a British newsreader

ja...x

Bit childish deleting all those threads.

Expect a name change next then.

The only tie in to greatness I have, other than a cousin who was a headmaster at Bishop Cleeve, is that I went to school with a guy named Martyn Lewis whom I believe went on to some sort of a broadcasting career in UK. A picture of him in 1958 is on the internet.

No spit swapping with any of them, did play kiss chase with the footballer but we were only 10 at the time

ja...x

ahem, yes, fine, but the question I put on the table was: people you have swapped spit with, w/in 6 degrees!

I get Mick and Prince Andy, I believe.

The same co-vivant used to sleep on Stevie Ray Vaughn's floor, but not *with* him, so that gets me nada.
