Re: Early Winter Bits and Bobs.
Westie, Thanks for the offer but I have daughters in England and if it was possible they would send them over. However, anything bigger than a normal envelope has to have a declaration on it. We sent three Christmas cards in a jiffy bag and they were returned because we had put the correct postage o...

Re: Early Winter Bits and Bobs.

I hear that oil thieves are using drones to follow tankers and then strike. Yes they ruin the tanks by drilling into them and don't worry about locks being on them.

Re: Guzz goggs
Stephen, That last post of yours reminds me of what one of the Dubliners (who was renowned for his drinking) said.
"The first pint of Guinness was the best of the day....it took away the taste of the toothpaste".

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs 2022.
