Whitechapel tonight

[shaneystar2]

When they went into the house to arrest the man they thought was the murderer and he was watching that old film there was Kent and Stockman but who was the other guy ?

[woofgang]

hello all, feeling zogged cos I have been awake since 4 am. Now its over, I'll tell you, I have a lump in my mouth. Went to docs this morning who had a good look and said its a blocked salivary gland. I have had enough of lumps and bumps for a while I think.
Oight oight all

[jno]

oh, that's good news, woofgang. Stupid glands and things.

[netibiza]

Good moring biddies, well I hope all the ailments clear up soon.

Am off in a minuete to get the car MOTed, hate it as I cannot hear what they are shouting at me from the pit.

Washing machine completely beggered so have to go and buy another, that of course is the most important thing in my book!!
<<<<<< LATERS >>>>>

[shaneystar2]

Morning all
Drizzling and dull here .
Oh I'm glad it wasn't anything sinister Woofy and hope you soon feel better .
In my haste to post yesterday before my connection went I forgot to say to you Jude that I'm pleased to hear Maggie is doing well and wish her a speedy recovery .
The connection seems to be alright this morning ,fingers crossed. Virgin must have bought a new packet of elastic bands .

[netibiza]

Yes also well done to maggie!!

Cat passed the mot but we have to drive it through all these contraptions ourselves, fine with the exhaust and lights, but then came the wheel shaking things and I was being tossed about like a boat in a storm so I screamed and the mechanic got in and did it himself, then he also drove it over the inspection pit, and shouted instructions (simple ones) to me, turn the wheel. pisa el freno (press the brake) and that was it , off I went with a perfectly working car! I'm sure it wouldn't have passed if i had been a normal capable type person, but lil ole lady wins again!!! It was so hot waiting outside in the queue fr half an hour. no shade anywhere.

Am off now to look at washers!

[Jude123]

Good morning All Lovely day here at the mo and I have a line completely full of towels. I have to go to town today for my temporary reading specs as a lens fell out just before I went away and I had to buy some off the peg ones to last me. Then I'm gong to see Maggie again later and i will pass your message on Shaney, thankyou.
Talking about coughs I hope yours is better soon. I have developed a tickly one in my throat and my right eye runs like mad when my cough starts. I'm just sucking Halls cherry mentholyptus sugar frees for the time being and drinking water.

Hope you feel better today Lottie and you get your washer sorted Neti. I am now waiting for Steady to take me to 'Costco' to look for a Microwave. That could take a while because he is just like his Dad when it comes to getting things done. Steady is his name but I will say when he does 'do' he's thorough!!
Anyway have a good day all. Laters 'gaters!!

[Jude123]

I'm sorry I didn't say I'm happy about your lump in your mouth Woofy. I don't want anymore of my friends to get anything sinister thank you very much to 'whover is looking after me'. Also Neti just missed your post -congrats on your MOT, mine is due in August and I also have to have a new Cam shaft/belt or whatever it is as it is now 10 years old and if the present one goes so does my car!!

[Robinia]

Morning all...hope you feel better today Lottie, make room in the sick bay for me! jeez I felt horrendous yesterday and I woke in the night with the bed spinning round. I'm dosed up with dizzy pills now and just about staying upright...the blood tests I had recently were all 'normal' but I've felt far from normal for ages. so it's back to the doc soon I suppose.. sigh

Glad you made it back on here Jude, I'm sorry I wasn't around to help sort out your puta problems. It sounds like you had a lovely time away, I could do with a resident rickshaw driver. It's good to hear Maggie's doing well, say hello to her from all of us.

Pleased your problem wasn't anything awful woofy.

Cat's have mot's in Ibiza?? :o)

[Robinia]

* sorry, before the punctuation police get me....cats NOT cat's

[jno]

"cat" is "catalytic converter" (possibly).

Sunny out there but I am stuck inside waiting for Imran to phone to say he's coming to finish the lights. I have passed the time by emailing the council's tree man to get permission to prune the oak tree, so in due course I will be stuck inside waiting for him to come and inspect it. (We are in a conservation area so we can't just take an axe to it.)

♫ Hangin' on the telephone ♫

[Robinia]

you'll have to get a longer string on your bean tin so you can take it outside jno. My cordless phone will work as far as halfway down my garden...it doesn't work at the local shops tho, I found that out one day when I took it instead of my mobile. :o)

I enjoyed the prog on bbc2 last night about Camberwell Grove...anyone else see it? Thanks for the reminder about the London Bridges shaney! (tonight BBC4, 9pm)

[Robinia]

I'm borderline catatonic today...

[jno]

yes, I watched Dan in the 17th century (heavy overlap with Lucy in the 17th century, but that's fine, you can't have too much restoration, imho) and am planning to watch Dan on the bridges tonight. It seems to be some sort of BBC4 London strand.

[shaneystar2]

Phew ..it's got out very warm as I trudged round the High St .I'd forgotten what it was like to have a child that needs feeding .I hope he goes home tomorrow :)
Am hoping to watch Dan on bridges tonight but will it clash with that dreaded ball game ?
The prog about the London Streets is interesting Robinia .Last week it was Deptford High St which they practically demolished in the seventies and shuffled the families who had lived there for generations off to tower blocks .

[woofgang]

Good morning all, normality rules again here after the worlds longest sleep in, back to bed at 06.00 and woke again at 12.15. Glad to hear about Maggie, I hope she continues to do well and I will continue to bother god about about it. Neti and Jude, it's funny about household stuff, the first one is so carefully chosen and time is taken, after that it's just need another one now!
I have my new mower, it arrived a day early and the starter battery is now on charge. The old one has gone to my nice ironing lady, her husband, who laid my patio is redoing their garden and re laying the lawn. She told me yesterday that they were going out this weekend to get a new mower so I said on the off chance would he like mine as I can't get it started but it's new and she said yes please so win all round.
And I got a tax rebate!!!!!!!!!

[woofgang]

Robi have you tried berocca? It's supposed to be good for the general yucks but turns your wee bright yellow....I suppose it saves on buying those coloured loo blocks lol.

[Robinia]

lol woofy, no I haven't tried that so I just googled it...nearly shot out of my skin when I opened the website, there's a 'fizzing' noise to advertise the effervescent ones, haha. I just might give it a try, lots of B vitamins which could be good... it's for people with a hectic life tho, I might have a job getting the pharmacy to hand it over.... :o)

Looks like it does clash with the footy shaney :o(

[LoftyLottie]

This Russian cold is dreadful!! I feel horrible and yesterday spent most of the time asleep. It's now crept down to my chest!! I also feel sick all the time.

You are welcome to join me in the sick bay Robi!

Love to all of you.

Pleased your lump was just a salivary gland Woofy. Master LL had the same problem once when he was about 13. I was so worried!!

Glad you had a good time away Jude.

I'm trying to make sure I keep up with your posts - so you must forgive me if I am not joining in much.

[jno]

seems Imran couldn't make it because of domestic difficulties (I suspect this may mean his new baby is sick), so I will be waiting for him again sometime next week. Excuse typos, working in darkness...

[netibiza]

Get well soon all you por od souls.

Washing machine is ordered and being delievered tomorrow pm. it is a smeg, the only one I haven't tried!

Am getting orders to take cars through the mot!
