I quite like a Gin Martini occasionally.

Mornings. Still feeling the jet lag.

Mind you, even in the days when it was seen as a 'plus' point in advertising, they used to get some stick from wags pointing out that it had probably been 'filtered' through 8 people by the time it got to your glass.

It is shameful. Still, at least you know Thames water are looking out for you, jeffian.

Cabaliers will remember me offering to take bets on the first 'drought' warnings and hosepipe bans. Sure enough, a short piece tucked away in the Times today saying we should still expect them as, despite having had a particularly wet winter, there are insufficient reservoirs and infrastructure to store and manage the (excess) water supply. It makes you want to weep (though that would only add to the surplus). Make me Minister in charge of creating a National Water Grid. I'd sort it out.

As opposed to the X-ray dept open between 9-5 with no opportunity to book a slot, simply sit there until called, results can be anything up to 10 days.

Its an instant image that can be e-mailed immediately ffs.

Amazing, isnt it how long these places can stay open when they are privately operated.

Will you be contemplating a Gin Martini chaser with your first pint of Guinness tonight AVATAR333?

You do go on holiday. You dont go to the Hammer or post on the free bb during those episodes.

[barry evans] 02/4/2024 16:07

7344

Quite.

[avatar333] 02/4/2024 16:05

You'll be suggesting I can go on holiday! From what?!

7342

No.

Fitba.

I imagine you will be a similar type of retiree to myself, when the time arrives, Barry.

[barry evans] 02/4/2024 16:02

But surely it is still the weekend?

You cant tell me you dont go to the hammer until the evening on a Sunday, AVATAR333?

I think it should have been 'weekend'. You're retired, man!

[barry evans] 02/4/2024 15:58

Did you note any stragglers wearing shorts and wellies, jeffian?

[jeffian] 02/4/2024 15:55

#7338,

Aye, but heavier than usual intake over the weekend plus 'off' day.

7332/7334

Duly noted, Barry.

7335

Excellent, but you only had one extra 'day off', jeffian!

[barry evans] 02/4/2024 15:48

I wish he would ask not to be considered for any of it.

[barry evans] 02/4/2024 15:46

Duly noted with thanks, AVATAR333.

[jeffian] 02/4/2024 15:45

Just managed to complete the first jim session back after Easter indulgence without being sick on the floor.

I note that Britbox is shortly to be swallowed up by ITVx.
