after all the years of suffering being called a miserable old bar-steward by mrs zz , I am finally rejoicing that she has come round to my way of thinking. the source of this wonderment?... a newly found joint loathing of the foul phenomenon of otherwise seemingly intelligent individuals starting a sentence with the word "so"!!!! if you have been asked , "how do you propose to re-attach that button"? , or , "what method would you use to distribute seed in your garden" , fair enough but otherwise , nooooooooooo! other current hot favourites are "yoofs" with their kecks hanging out the top of their trousers and newly qualified drivers with a green p plate (clearly designating pillock) who refuse to commit to crossing a roundabout without having received a written invitation at least a fortnight in advance! what gets your hackles up?

I have decided that I am about to join this Society. I already anticipate that the majority of my posts will be deleated by administrators for political or religious reasons. I have already threatened "her indoors" that I will become a "Facebook" member. And she.(who is a facebook member) Who believes she is she must be obeyed promisses that she will leave if I do so. So whoopee here is step one. Administrators beware and watch this space. BRYAN B.

Hi Guszzz, I watched the opening of the race. IT MADE MY DAY. Two overpaid clowns in over priced German Taxies wrecked each other. You missed a real treat.

It inspired me to go down into my "CAVE" and retreive a couple of bottles of some crappy French wine and indulge myself before mounting my ride on mower and blasting hell out of grass and French Dandilions growing all around my CHEATAU . The French name for a massive load of aincent carp buildings.

Mowin' the grass on a sunday afternoon!! I'll tell your Mairie about you!

Was fun though. Watched the coming together on-line. Nice that an 18 kid (who is going on 70) won the race - oh sorry....a bit off base for this thread. I thought it was terrible and what is the world coming to etc when a snot nosed kid blah blah.......

Hi Gordonzz, Yeh, I waited with anticipation for that sequence.but they didnt show it. I wondered if they would drop canisters down through the roof when they all went upstairs into the bunkers, but they didnt show that either,

Doctors say he may live till friday but they are not sure

How much longer do we have to watch loved ones suffer , when there is nothing but pain for them!1

I would have stopped my dog from having to suffer this yet, a human has to linger on with no choice

sorry guys just so p***ed off right now
Hi Teddy, It's a highly contentious moral question which few of us could answer but be assured that many of us have asked the same questions at the bedside of our loved ones at times past and you have our sympathy with sharing this. Bryan B.

Unless there is an underlying reason. Statistically if you have made it to 75 you are odds on to make it to 85. Seriously!
My old guy is 90!

Oh Crikey I hope not! 10 more years to put up with!!

I dont think they have got around to supplying chairs at the one here yet!! So your best of waiting outside sitting in your car. At least the parking is still free though. I guess they hav'nt thought of that yet.

My continuing Grump. Brexit ! How can you leave something you have never been in? Example 1 try to buy British food in a France supermarket !! Example 2 Try to buy a lawn mower or a dish washer or or a fridge or a freezer or a power tool electric drill chain saw rotary hoe or anything else with English instruction manual !!!! Don't waste your time trying. All manuals will be in French or any European language or others Never Never in English. Britain was never part of the EU. So why pay 60 billion Euro to leave????
