Hiya,
I remember a GP I was registered with many moons ago, smoked like a factory
chimney even when he was examining you, always one in the ash tray on his
desk and he would light one off the one about to be discarded, I also knew him
as a man who enjoyed a pint or ten, he was a member of the same club as
myself at that time so actually witnessed this, on many occasions did his best
to steer me away from salads always telling me to get “some steak down yer”
well fine old chap a proper doctor, passed away quite recently aged 93 not too
bad for a man who never preached “lead a healthy lifestyle” how could he.
thanks harry, long retired.
it makes me wonder harry , when i was on the road living on cafe food , drinking and smoking i never ailed , in fact when our new doctor started he checked the records and remarked that i hadn’t been to the surgery for 25 years . since i had to finish and take all the " good " advice about my lifestyle it’s one thing after another . the wife never stops nagging me to stop smoking ( she smokes )but i think that after smoking for 60 years it might be shutting the stable door when the horse has gone . anyway smoking in general is frowned on and i always was a bit of a rebel . cheers , dave
Hiya,
I have zero recollection of seeing a medical person since having my army medical
aged 18 and as far as I know wasn’t even registered with a doctor’s surgery until I
was in my 40s, I don’t smoke but did until well into my 60s, and a smoking related
cancer was detected thankfully still operable, and I’m still here minus 90% of my
stomach, this means I can only eat and drink small amounts, despite this I’m still
a fat old git’ my wife’s terminology, I’m only supposed to eat little and often but I
think far too often in my case, and certainly all the wrong things when her back’s
turned, and as for me being a fat old git’ what the Missus doesn’t realise there is
a very tidy 93 year old living down our street who fancies me like crazy so woman
be on your best behaviour you can be replaced. You have been warned. PS Oh’
and the lady who is doing the fancying is well off, so there.
thanks harry, long retired.
Dave I can assure you he will be delighted when he reads this, Regards Larry.

It would be great to meet Harry,same as I met yourself and several others at Cosford Larry. I will have to take a holiday up Durham way, but don’t tell my
camera person, as she thinks Skegness was a fair hike.
Cheers Dave.

There might be a show or lorry run about mid way between here and the North East Larry. Harry and Norman were at Lincoln Farm cafe a few years ago but unfortunately I couldn’t go that day, but there will be others.
Cheers Dave.

Well Dave fingers crossed Eh as the old saying goes, Regards Larry.
Hiya,
Anyone heard anything of Norman, hasn’t been on for a while tried to ring
him a couple of times over last weekend the phone goes straight onto the
answer machine I don’t hold with those things it’s the nearest to talking to
yourself that I want to get, I just say who’s calling and hang up, the people
I call nearly always have my phone number so have the choice of phoning
back or not, Howay Nosser get you’re finger out let us know how you are.
thanks harry, long retired.
Harry you old retrobate, I have been on holidays I.O.W. then I was back two days and had a sore throat, blazing cold and a cough this is two weeks last friday, I am trying to advoid anti biotics and beat myself, I still have it on my chest, but I still forced myself into the Garden. Harry I know you think all gardens should be concreted. But I love to eat my evening meal on my decking on my hardwood table and chairs I got in 2000, I give them a sanding & teak oil and they are as good as new. My last bout in January took me seven weeks before I felt ok, hope this won’t be as long. My bowling mates a few have passed on, a few cannot walk and packed up, about three years ago we had 600/700 now we are down to 450. The wife has not been lucky three of her best friends have died in the space of a year, 53, 40, and 25 years of friendship gone in a blink of a eye. Still we plod on Harry.
welcome back norman , you had folks in a bit of a tizzy wondering where you had got to . sorry to hear about you manflu , but you seem to be getting the better of it . you can’t beat a concrete garden , i flagged and concreted mine 10 years ago as part of the recuperation from my heart ops . i got to thinking then about how i would cope with it in years to come . it’s great now , a couple of small beds for her ladyship to play in and i’m starting on a few plinths as seats/pot stands . the ground gets further away as i get older look after yourself , cheers , dave
Glad to see you are back Norm. Sorry to hear of your suffering, but at least you are still upright and breathing.
As for funerals. I was at one the other week, got another one to attend today, not nice, but they are people I have known a long time, and the chap who is today was a fellow councillor when I served on the local council.
Cheers Dave.
Hiya,
At my age I classify myself as a very expensive champagne, way out of my pocket
range and don’t travel very well, I’ve just seen a little person struggling across a
supermarket car park carrying a flat screen television of course I offered to give
him a hand, says I, that tele is quite a weight for you can I help you to your car,
sod off says he it’s a Kindle.
thanks harry, long retired.
