Good in parts, primary school was great until my final year which did eventually end! Secondary school academically not good, socially fine (i was in the upper part of the hierarchy, but not on the top but I am a very good diplomat!), few minor scrapes, forged an exam mark and got caught, told off for buying booze underage, didn't smoke until I'd left school (gave up many years ago) kind of just muddled through it! Had a summer job every summer from 14, played rugby, football and cricket, and did a lot of fishing. A bit of teenage romance along the way. I didn't mind going to school and being

Back in my bachelor days i did have a television, but the amount of time i spent watching it was miniscule and that was sport, news and a few select programmes Countryfile for example (although i did enjoy Shameless!), there were other things to do during the evening and at the weekend, Monday was my "stay at home and do the house work evening" then during the others days depending on the time of year there would be rugby training Tues & Thurs (From July until April), pub quiz night, Wednesday (all year), Friday evening a few beers early doors, before book and bed as i had a rugby match

Cracking pictures and dogs, Whats the cross of the dog in the first picture? Looks a good un.

Great news wishing you well.

I wish i was closer, i'd love a few!

Turned veg the patch over added a pile of this stuff with some wood ash. Forgot to say its the council compost made from recycled waste food.

Nice one, I haven't started yet!

After i've decanted the sloe gin, i then add a bottle of sweet sherry to the sloes, gives a nice tasting drink for latter in the year. Cheers. Aled

Yes i got a bottle at Christmas and it was really nice.

Sorry to hear of your situation. Wishing you and your family well and i hope things turn out OK. Best wishes. Aled

I've been given three lots of fishing gear some of which was destined for the skip, I've thankfully been able to give a pile of it away to youngsters in our angling club. Would a local club be able to use it? Cheers. Aled

Wishing you well under the circumstances dytkos. Aled

I turned the veg patch over before the big freeze came, which i think was a good move. Other than getting my daughter some seeds for Christmas (she wants to grow some veg herself this summer) that's it for the veg patch so far!!

Pretty snowy here as well.

I hear where your coming from WataWalloper and i would agree with you in theory, however i know its not me or the wife, yep my offspring, possibly but unlikely, however if you knew my neighbours, (and i like them by the way) you would agree they would be the most likely culprits.....they also had a pile of people staying there over the weekend!! Vet said a stub would be enough.
