hiya,
The only ocean going I’m going to do from now on is when I’m aboard
the cruise ship that you’ve promised us Norm, that’s when the boat
comes in when you hit the jackpot on the lottery and I want my cabin
for’ard so’s I can see what the Skipper’s up to, no sailing close to the
rocks, I’ll set the course and make sure the “Old Man” steers to it.
thanks harry, long retired.
Take the knotted rope with you Harry, keep em in line.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Dave, that goes without saying it will be the last thing to go in the
hand luggage so’s it’s easy to get at, mutiny on the Bounty, watch
this space, I’ll get the wife to put it in the washer it’s been in the
coalshed along with the hi-viz jacket and the toe-tectors.
thanks harry, long retired.
For gods sake don’t wear your boots, they might drag you under if you have too much whisky Harry and totter over the side, but someone might see you with your reflecting jacket on!

hiya,
Drag me under indeed, Norman I thought you’d have realised by now that I’m
more than capable of walking on water, but not always in a straight line.
thanks harry, long retired.
Norman Ingram:
Walk on water? Nah you are no Jesus Christ Harry, even when your full of spirit! But you could be a saint.
hiya,
Norm, struggle to walk on terra firma these days, but did get p"""ed through
when out shopping yesterday does “walking in water” not count.
thanks harry, long retired.
Norman Ingram:
Harry knowing you,I quite believe you would Wade through floods to get to a bottle of single malt.
hiya,
Norm, nobody bought me a bottle this year, my daughter did buy me a
toilet roll in the form of every wipe being a Suduko puzzle telling me
you know Dad that you shouldn’t be drinking, fill all those puzzles in
and that’ll take your mind off drink but in the same breath asking us to
babysit so her and her hubbie can have a night on the drink, it’s a cruel
old world Norm, enough in fact to turn a fellah’ to drink, if I had some.
thanks harry, long retired.
Didn’t Trevor H drop you any off this year, he did last year. I won on the euro lotto, but don’t book up your holidays yet, it was only £2.10p. When and if I win the big one, I will have you put in a bupa hospital and put on a drip feed of pure single malt for at least two weeks to get you fit enough for your cruise. Then after we have took the wives or girlfriends, we can have another one boys only.

What a shame Trev, I know you would, when one of my old bowling mate was in hospital I took a couple of packs of John Smiths ales, he loved it.
hiya,
Trev was round that way a couple of weeks ago to buy some moulding
for round the bath and didn’t even see your old depot had closed.
thanks harry, long retired.
By god Harry alot has changed since we were on the roads, and September it will be 6years since I started this thread, alot of twaddle and some good advice has been tossed about. But one thing I have noticed, every DIY jobs and gardening seem to take me five times longer than when I was younger. Hmm it would be nice to know if it happens when I was likely to partisipate in ■■■■■■■■■■?

Just borrow a block and tackle for that Norm to lift you up onto the wardrobe. Don’t forget to tie the Missus to the bed first.
Cheers Dave.
DIY!!! wash your mouth out norman , you’ll have harry coming over all faint . he’s just been giving some good sound advice on how to get rid of the necessary tools so that 'er indoors can’t find any "little jobs " round the house .
Norman Ingram:
I have not let any of my tools go, I am putting up a wooden arch for my honeysuckle and rambling roses the cheap metal one keeled over in the wind.
hiya,
Norm I expect you’ll be billing the “Colleen” for the garden structure,
I need a plumbing job doing one day next week but the tools having
been “given” away means I’ll need to get a plumber to do the job so
for the first I’ll have to pay a tradesman to do the job, he’s a mate
and it’s only a five minute job, a drink should cover it.
thanks harry, long retired.
Ha ha ha,I was up a ladder putting the lights up for christmas, and Terry my neighbour said, Norman don’t you fall off, I said I won’t mate. Then it came time on Monday to take them down, he said you were very nimble Norman, I never heard or seen you take them down, as I was packing them back into the boxes. I chuckled to myself for I had a long piece of wood to lift off the hooks on the gutter, 15 minutes including into the boxes.
Sometimes I think I am conversing with myself, Harry if you google my home, you will see in my back garden a new wooden rose arch I have built and painted, the two metal tube ones didn’t last too long, I hope this one will keep going until I reach 100 or larry’s age.
The times I travelled through Syria to Saudi, I am glad it was not like it is today, one time there was trouble in Beruit, I picked up some embassy furnature in Damascus, which is the capital.
