I'm hoping Peter Wyngarde will be there - or have I completely misunderstood what it's all about do you think?

( a more appropriate number for me than "Vic" is probably "Age Concern" :lol: )

Well, he is dead so may not be there!
His image was somewhat tarnished after the incident in the public conveniences at Gloucester Bus Station... :shock:

Yes I'd forgotten that. His J King memory is forever kept alive though by the Comic Strip episode 'Detectives On The Edge Of A Nervous Breakdown' as Jason Bentley :-bd.

3 courses Blair? Very nice. Very civilised. What's on the menu then? "my BAM attempt must go on" - that's the BBB spirit :-bd.

Not a particularly cheery Friday here. Still doing a lot of caring for my old fogies in their own home, until a better plan comes along. Mental Health people came along today to check on Ma. Funny old world really. Of course the irony is they completely missed me while they were here :wink:.

I see you're keeping an eye on us there Stu. Hopefully you are having a RELAXED Friday after all your BB2[3]00 hard work on the previous one!

It is indeed quite convivial Reg, I had noodles in a cup to start followed by some splendid beans in a bag finished off with a bag of wine gums and a strawberry waffle for dessert. The entertainment for the night is listening to some birds on the other side of the loch having a right old scrap by the sounds of it! :lol:

Pains from my recent crash have receded to next to nowt so I've kicked the tramadol off the menu. So "Hello G&T time". Also insurance co says I'm ok to drive AND I've managed a couple of figure-of-eights on a bike around my back yard.

Indeed, a very cheery Friday in gogland. :grin:

I had lunch with an old girlfriend today - a lady who predates my now defunct marriage, which takes us back to Sydney, 1992, when I last saw her. Bondi Beach, bbqs and a summer that stretched into forever. She was funny, intelligent and informed back them, and she is even more so today. Annoyingly, she's also married to someone she adores and has three grown kids. So, no chance. But, as we said our goodbyes in the car park of the Old Orchard pub in Harefield, with its amazing views over the Colne, we hugged, did the air kiss, and she looked me in the eye and let her lips brush mine, in a way that said to me: "I just wish ..."

Now that is a cheery Friday.
I'm just going outside ...

Reg mate, yeah, oddly enough it was strangely bitter-sweet. We were never meant to be together, and we both knew it way back then. Even so, after so many years, the simple things that drew us together then were still there. I like that. I like that very much.
