Born in Doidge road Erdington December 11th 1942, maybe in a Anderson shelter !

My first car ( apart from army ones ) was a Austin mini, reg 899 UP. As usual with British cars ( remember them ) the engine was ok but the bodywork soon deteriated into rust. I seem to remember the piston damper in the carburettor had to be topped up quite frequently. I now drive a Seat Ateca 2...

Pete, i used to fish with a couple of mates by the weir in Worcester. One lad caught a lovely salmon which he took home, which begs the question, is that stealing? I know if i caught a salmon (fat chance ) i wouldn`t throw it back.

Keep it up Bob ( the good health i mean )

Father Christmas on November 5th.? I wonder if he would make a good Guy for the bonfire. Next thing you know they`ll be selling Easter eggs in January !

There are at least two things posties hate, nasty dogs & stupid doors with the letterbox on the bottom of the door.

Nice job jukebox, she looks a kindly soul.

The problem with giving the postal person a christmas box is we rarely have the same one two days running. We have at least three & one of them (a male ) won`t deliver if our ferocious westie is in the garden.

Christmas day deliveries wow. I think at one time there was more than one delivery possibly three. Remember when you would always tip the service people, postman, milkman, coalman etc. The milkman, coalman, have all but disappeared. !

Interesting contents, what was "Tinned heat" a soldiers cooker?

For a couple of days at least, it was the good old days. How( mostly )lucky we are these days.

Muscatel wine (my favourite ) for 1&8 pence abottle. Wish i had a time machine !

I watched a very raunchy Christmas film yesterday, " Love Actually " Hugh Grant, Bill Nighy, & very naughty Martin Freeman (Hobbit) & Joanna Page (Gavin & Stacey) It was so naughty i had to force myself to watch it ! I wonder if they made a sequel.

Floppy drive, now that`s a blast from the past. !

Pete, i`m as poor as a church mouse, that`s why i buy my pc`s off ebay. Find a decent ebayer & you`ll get a bargain.

You can load the iso onto a usb just as easy. I`ve got a windows disc image on one of my usb`s. I presume it would work if my pc crashes, but then i would just buy a refurb computer from ebay. This pc i`ve had for 2/3 years got good specs & bought from a reputable ebayer. £115. ( There are some...

You can copy films music & just about everything onto a usb stick. My music in the car is all via songs copied to usb. The films i download onto usb & then watch them on my tv. I can`t remember the last time i used my dvd drive, in fact i`ve never used it.

USB 3 is so much faster & is distinguishable by some blue colour & the symbol ss. There are now usb 3.1 & usb 3.2. I don`t know much about them. I can`t think why anyone would need a cd/dvd drive anymore?

They look like usb 2 ports Pete, a bit slow?

A question for WW2 buffs. When there are a thousand planes in the sky loaded with paras`. When the paras` jump how do they not get tangled up with all those other planes? Must be amazing choreography !
