I've been wondering!!!!
Thank you for your good wishes unfortunately i think it it is something in my head as they just keep increasing my dosage of tablets. Anyway i have an appointment for another scan next week and also one for my water problem and so i am spending plenty of time in medical hands, (Finger)
(Terry, I had had to surrender my licence since last Feb. but do hope to get it back next February )

Hi JD. So sorry to hear that you have been in the wars again. I hope that the problem is soon sorted and that you are back on your feet again as quickly as possible. Take care. I'm sending you a get well hug and Daisy sends you a lick.
Hi JD - I knew you'd lost your licence but thought it was earlier than February and going back to last year. Hope all is well and you get it back on schedule.
Hi JD. Just caught up with the thread and very sorry to learn that you're in the wars yet again. Are you quite sure it was a nurse and not a plumber trying to fit a new tap? Thought your licence had actually been returned some while ago, obviously another senior moment (so many moments they're starting to look like hours!) Anyway, if we're ever to get around to that pie & a pint we've been on about for the last twelve months, I'd better refresh my memory of routes north of W-S-M, though perhaps, not before Christmas. All the best, Syd.
Cheers, Syd.

Hello Syd,
Thanks for your good wishes I have been putting in as many hours as the Staff lately and the Missus has almost got shares in the Car Park ,the amount of cash she as spent the non of which goes to the Hospital. Most of the Carers and Nurses are from Taiwan they were all the same height, all wore glasses and all spoke just basic English, They were very attentive but the Male Nurse (Malaysian i think ) was quite rough pulling out the pipe from my willy. The food was amazing , three full meals a day and as many drinks,( teas, coffee hot chocolate, ) Still i was glad to get out and home
Think we'll leave that Pie and Pint until the New Year, All the Best for Christmas and the New Year.
Regards J.D.

Our local hospital is like most for the hefty car park charges although they do have a concession if someone is in for a few days. We can buy a ticket for seven days for a tenner - unlimited parking but the drawback is that it only covers one car. When Patricia was in a few months back I sometimes drove relatives in for the evening visiting and I did the afternoon ones. I dropped them off and then picked them up later because we mostly live fairly close to each other. For those who live a bit of a distance they came to our house and left their cars. Our daughter has our car registered in her name to cut down the insurance charge so she can drive it so that was fine when she went. It cut down the amount going into the meters a hell of a lot. £3 minimum normally times twice a day times seven days equals £42. A tenner is far better and a drop of petrol is a lot cheaper.
I've been wondering.............If Lawyers are disbarred,
and Clergymen defrocked,
Does it not follow that
Electricians are delighted,
Musicians denoted,
Models deposed,
and Dry Cleaners depressed ?

Soldiers are debriefed- sorry - that's all I can think of right now.
Train drivers are derailed and
Florists are deflowered (whoops!)

I've been wondering how anyone gets 'bauched' because I've often read about people being 'debauched'
I've been wondering what Quasimodo got the hump about.
Are straight skirts depleted ?
Why is it that with stockings, the longer they are, the closer the top is to the bottom ?

I've been wondering if this thread has finally run out of steam? Any reply would be thanked by my genuflecting repeatedly while reciting the poem by Omar Khayam about 'The moving finger' and wondering where the finger has got to these days.
However, I thought I'd like to see who facebook would match me up with in the realms of Movie Stars. This is what it came up with:-

There is a resemblance to a photo of me - with my wife Patricia - many years ago sitting on a step at the Palace of Versailles.:-

I could never understand why you used so many stage names, Cary Grant, Tyrone Power and John Wayne being some.
You were always good though, even in your Shirley Temple pictures.

The hardest part as Shirley was getting the kiss curl the same every day
Brings back thoughts of the "old-time" film stars, Terry. I often wonder why Mickey Rooney grew old, but never got bigger.
And why Boris Karloff was better looking as Frankenstein's Monster than he was in real life.
I also wonder if they did a remake of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" they would have to call it
"Snow White and the Seven People of Restricted Growth"?

There you have it in a nutshell JR - it's all make believe even now and was worse way back. So many of the old stars were quite tiny. Mickey Rooney, Jimmy Cagney, George Raft, Edward G Robinson, Alan Ladd, Humphrey Bogart to name but a few. Exceptions were John Wayne and Rock Hudson so how they managed to co star them I don't know.
For my money though Mickey Rooney was a fantastic actor.

In my opinion, Terry, Mickey Rooney was a good actor and a talented singer and dancer.
Sadly he was not gifted with a personality.
When I used to go to Saturday Morning Childrens' Cinema, I always used to boo him, probably because I loved Judy Garland.

A great film star needs several qualities.
Good looks.
Sparkling personality.
Warm, gentle manners.
A clear, soft voice.
The sort of person whose company you would enjoy.
One actor summed up all of these qualities..........

Ah yes - good old jack Elam. My daughter and her husband saw one of the Cannonball Run films with Jack in the role of a drunk ex surgeon given to injecting himself. They were screaming almost with laughter at his facial expressions.

He couldn't have been all bad, Syd. He served in the Navy during the war !

If ever a waterway was misnamed it was that one!
The same applies to the River Oder in Poland, Terry.
