I used to watch all kinds of sport on TV years ago Norm.I will still watch football,boxing and sometimes cricket.Used to watch show jumping,athletics and motor sport,just lost interest in them these days.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Yes Dave a lot of rubbish purporting to be entertainment on the
box nowadays, Formula 1 is like playing with a Scalectrix, I can’t
get away with cricket at all, still enjoy football and rugby there’s
not a lot of boxing but would watch it, has to be recent though I
don’t bother with the old recorded stuff, some darts and snooker
and that’s it,oh’ and often watch my horses losing on Saturday
afternoons, quite the opposite of our “lucky Norman”.
thanks harry, long retired.
Same as you Harry regarding the boxing.I only watch the live fights.I used to like fighting at dance halls years ago.Not taking part,just watching. 
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Dave talking about dance hall battling, I received an email from a guy
from my old home town, he had got some photo’s off a guy who had
worked at the same place as me when he heard I was being told that
he would let me know where and when he would post the pictures the
picture giver, told the picture poster, to remind me of the time I’d given
him a good hiding at a dancehall/nightclub back in the late 60s, I did’nt
remember but told him if he wanted a re-match to seek me out and he
would find it wouldn’t take much to plant me on the deck nowadays, I
better keep looking over my shoulder for a guy in his early 70s he was a
second mate on the heavy haulage and had worked for me on the odd
occasion as a trailer mate, don’t recall him ever needing the knotted rope.
thanks harry, long retired.

Better keep the knotted rope handy Harry.I don’t expext he will turn up.Talk is cheap.

hiya,
Norman I doubt that I have much blood left to spill the medical profession
have either drained it, thinned it or nicked it to check if I’m still alive and
what there is left will be 50% proof and maturing with age, just like I am.
thanks harry, long retired.

You are like an old oil engine Harry,you will keep plugging away for a long time.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Always have a set of jump leads in the boot of the car and also
carry a 12 volt Mickey Mouse compressor which has saved a few
people a few bob over the years, a little while ago came to the
aid of a very elderly lady driving a 5 year old motor the battery
was as dead as a Dodo it was the original battery so advised her
to get it checked as a battery of that age would be getting a bit
tired, anyway got her started lowered the bonnet and before I
could put my gear away she’d gone and without a thank you.It
does make you wonder should you bother but for the most of the
time people are grateful, I know I would be although I suppose if
it was me I’d have to call the RAC.
thanks harry, long retired
Same as you Harry.I carry a set of jump leads in both of my vehicles.They are a must,as both are automatic gearbox.
Also got a compressor and a couple of battery chargers,one is a pack jump start job.I am in the AA which is handy if one of them won’t start in the winter.I just call them out on home start,get my money’s worth.
Cheers Dave.
You missed the point Dave, 
Harry can’t drink jump leads, 
but he sure can sink a few glasses of Quick start, 
I also kept leads, pump, tow chain or rope. Also I helped a women in the bowls club, I came in and asked who was driving a red car that was parked, this old dear between 75/80 that is mine, I said it has a flat tyre, well she came out after her game, and I followed, she said do you think I will able to drive it, certainly not I said, so I got my pump out and got it back up to pressure! She then asked if it will last the week, no I replied, you are lucky I was here, go straight to a garage and get it repaired before it goe’s flat, or you might be buying a new tyre. She drove off without a thank you, That week I was talking to another lady, she told me her team was one short, oh what a shame, yes Betty has got a flat tyre and cannot get in, I thought ********** you just can help some people they won’t lissen to good advice.

hiya,
At your service Norman Ingram AA, RAC, Green Flag have jump leads
will travel, any time, anywhere don’t ring me I’ll ring you.
thanks harry, long retired.
All you need now Harry is a motorbike and sidecar.
Cheers Dave.
We went to Corfu about 1997 and got a small putput and the apartments was on a winding hill, the bike would not make it up with me & the wife, so I went back to the garage and told him, he said you are not driving it correctly. I said I bet you you cannot get to the top outside our apartment with you driving and me passenger, 100 drachma and you change to a bigger cc no charge, he took the bet. We went and was sailing up the hill full throttle, he was saying see! I laughed, and said you are only three parts up it, the two slopes away it stalled, I justed smiled and said, you was not driving that correctly. He put his hands in the air, ok here is your money, and I will change it for a 250cc scooter, we did get to the top with that.
Norman Ingram:
Dave I never get on with the photo bucket, emails and attachments I send all over the world, I sent a lot of photo’s to Chris IOM and he put them up, also my daughter done it, but said it was such a effort, they have supposed to made it a lot easier on here, but I tried four times, got my gallery, clicked on the photo and it started to work, but then said this file is invaled. 
hiya,
Norm a friend of mine and a family member have attempted to show
me how to post pictures, they both called it a day adding you can’t put
anything where there is nothing there to start with, they must’nt have
touched a raw nerve though cos’ I didn’t explode, so you’ll just have to
put up with my written drivel until I can afford a new brain transplant.
thanks harry, long retired.
I found it hard to post photo’s until about 3 years ago.I kept at it and can upload them on several sites.I send some of my pics ( not lorries ) to my niece in British Columbia and to other members of the family in various places.
Cheers Dave.
