Good evening! Hope today ended up not too stressful 🙂

Mine was awful - had to find a place for this...

I can heartily recommend #HungryBirds in #Oakham, but not the A47.

The A47 is vastly over-rated, even by people who rate the A47...

May I have a slice please?

@HeatherMJ
Sorry, there's a very long queue and you're almost at the back, just in front of @PaulNickson 🤣

@blingoali @HeatherMJ @MAJ1 @weirdfolks Huh, wha’?

Sorry I was away from my station (watching TV) and not being diligent and on it. Now I’m off to bed anyway. Can we have this cake war tomorrow (given the cake’s use by date isn’t too soon?!)

@PaulNickson
If there's any left by then!

@blingoali @HeatherMJ @MAJ1 @weirdfolks Knowing you greedy buggers it’s probably all gone by now so I hope you have a bad dose of the collywobbles!

@PaulNickson
These days, my colly is not the only thing that wobbles *sigh*
@HeatherMJ @MAJ1 @weirdfolks

@blingoali @HeatherMJ @MAJ1 @weirdfolks Join the club! My collies have all wobbled off and the few that remain don’t work anymore anyway.

Fred Wedlock's song The Oldest Swinger in Town nails it:

"When your barber takes a little less time each week"

"When you rub on Vicks where you used to splash Brut"

"When you walk into a disco and they offer you a seat"

"There you go in your pants so tight, you never smile - it wouldn't look right, because your dentures glow in ultraviolet light..."

"When it takes you all night to do what you used to do night"

@blingoali @HeatherMJ @MAJ1 @weirdfolks 🤣😂 Brilliant. I identify with all of that!

In the folk clubs in the 70s there were many songs of his that had extra verses!

And, oh! that arrangement and production! 🤣 Move over, Benny Hill!

@blingoali @HeatherMJ @MAJ1 @weirdfolks I used to say ‘when you go into hospital you leave your dignity at the door’. Nowadays I struggle with the meaning of long-lost dignity.

@PaulNickson
I knew someone with dignity once. You wouldn't want a pint with them 🙂
