Linda,

I drink large quantities of still water, bought from a supermarket.

One glass of water each hour is what the doctors recommend when it’s very hot.

I’ve no idea about the effect of drinking water on our suffering from humidity.

Swimming does help me cope when it’s very humid.

But I swim for exercise. Between 1 and 2 miles a week, and as…[Read more]

I enjoy watching Wimbledon.

And that’s about it.

I loved playing soccer when I was a kid. I have long legs and they were good at hooking a ball when tackling, but it was the sense of being part of a group of friends which made me feel good. Not played since 14, though. In school I just kicked the ball to whoever was nearest, and pretty soon I…[Read more]

oi Ms M!!! 🤓

LMFAO!!!!!

ARPTD!!!!

KTYGB!!!!

That’s for sure.

I’ve caught up with the series on iplayer, GD.

Jed Mercutio knows how to write them for maximum uncertainty and thrills, along with a certain suspension of belief about reality.

He also has a thing about cops charging into groups of ordinary people shouting “Armed Police!). Gets the adrenaline going.

I’ve never actually been in a situation…[Read more]

I’ve not seen that, Mrs Q

Is it worth catching up?

I think he was telling it straight.

His cracking voice, the way his mouth was about to twist – an indication of the outrage he felt at such a vile accusation.

The strong sense of duty and patriotism at the end as he affirmed that he did not go off to satisfy any degraded lusts, but

To Serve the American People.

God bless and keep you, Sir, and…[Read more]

Why do you post the same thing, spread over three threads? What you’ve just said can be made in one thread.

Nobody answers you, they are the same message that you keep pushing on almost a daily basis, and they drive out other posts from the Active Discussions lists that we all use rather than the longer business of finding out where the…[Read more]

I went to the Colston Hall once to see Lou Reed. he was a real obsession with me at that time. I think it was there that Edward Heath, then PM,  turned up for an election rally, and as he left I pushed my face close to his head and shouted in his ear, “you are a f**king c*nt!!”. I was a real political sophisticate. He winced but continued walking…[Read more]

We had a small room to hide in in case the house lifted off

I was a little worried as the boy was only 6.

A tornado came near us once, but never hit or we would have found out whether the Land of Oz really did exist.

looks like The Mail to me.

All right for fish and chips, but toilet paper?

Ugh! All the print would come off *shudders.

My grandad, in the bad old jobless days of the 30s, made a free Gideon’s Bible into a toilet sheet. The silk pages were very soft on your backside, unlike t6he rough paper then on the market.

It’s a Good Book, he used to…[Read more]

I know that area, Linda.

It’s on our news that the hurricane will be of historic proportions – a real monster.

Some very historic coastline there.  It’s always been subject to hurricanes, and there was quite a wind when i was there at one point which gave me a taste of the real thing. Fortunately, I never experienced a hurricane or a…[Read more]

Jamie,

you are many times more interesting than this character,.

Please ignore him like the rest of us (most of the time, anyway) and keep posting.

None at all, jn.

None at all.

For someone like QE who presents himself as a representative of the jackass kingdom, is it worth me asking where I said I enjoyed bestial relations with goats? Where in your fevered imagination did you get that from? I mentioned a poem by James Dickey (unfortunate name) if I remember rightly which I said I didn’t enjoy but still thought was a…[Read more]

very much so.

I was a respectable boy when I was 18. My favourite music was Val Doonican. I would religiously watch his show on the telly and was more than comfortable with his clean-cut image, his cardigan and friendly smile. He had such nice people on his show – Nana Mouskouri and Moira MacDonald. I would jolly along with every other geek…[Read more]

Sounds like you have a stronger pictorial imagination, Jamie..you said once that you loved dance.

My pictorial imagination is limited, though I can (usually) spell.

Think maybe I envy your your pictorial imagination if you have it.
