Interesting upcoming auction


Recommended Posts


Was hit by a wave of nostalgia scrolling through the pages of the auction, as I’m just about old enough to remember shops like the Ironmongers, the Drapers, the Hardware store , etc.

If I won tonight’s Euro Lottery, I’d be bidding on a lot of that stuff and filling rooms in my mansion with it.

Sadly I’ll just have to stick with my man cave to remind of what seems like a simpler and better past……

Cheers.

I am ashamed and amused to admit that I still think in pounds ,shillings and pence.

If ever I won the lottery I would buy a house sufficient to house a full size snooker table. In that room would be a  blazing log fire, half a dozen deerhound lurchers, a couple of jet black GSD dogs, and trophies of stag heads and salmon decorating the walls.

I would then invite you for a game of snooker , thoroughly trounce you  and completely  re-educate you regarding your political beliefs.

If by some fluke, you beat me at snooker and successfully countered my political arguments , I would set my GSDs on you and send you back over Hadrian's Wall with your arse hanging out of your trousers sporting several canine scars.

You mean you wouldn’t give it all away, filled with disgust at one person having so much money and eager to rid yourself of the shame ? …….

I did suggest the Concorde set up to my other half. Tried to say it would make a great play house for my 4 year old daughter. She told me to grow up

In my younger days I was a regular at “Rotten Rodney’s “ snooker hall at South Shield’s, sadly long gone.

I regularly had 50+ breaks, due more to my opponent’s incompetence than my skill, but now I’m just an armchair fan.

To misquote the Great Groucho ; “I have my political views, but I also have  others” ! LOL !
Dogma and intransigence has no room in my thinking.

Happy Lent, Ramadan and whatever other archaic and irrelevant religious nonsense is going on just now.

Cheers.
