Gummy will turn up at some point, and rejoice if I ain’t very much mistaken.

Ok, good to see ya Jembo, and to know the persona is live and kicking, there you go, I’ve said it. 
………
well Jimbo, we all have these moments in life and I am no exception - yes stroked a few black dogs meself - and I am flooded with bloody sunshine everyday! had a good yarn to the lad last night that went into 1am today - that was good for the soul - we would benefit from phone linkups around here heh - nothing like the sound of another bloke crying!! hahaha - don’t forget to check ya email box mate. and as we say in Oz " we’ze all rootin for ya" but don’t take that too personal now, words mean different things down udder!! I was walkin past a building site the other day and I overheard the foreman saying to one of the lads " that thing there needs rejoistin" - yes we all need re-joicin at times don’t we? I had a girlfriend once called Joyce - she would get annoyed with me after asking do I look alright ? when I would say " you need to rejiggle ya jiggle Joyce - rejiggle ya jiggle - I’m goin now good morning good morning - that bloody sun is up again and the dog needs walkin - in this case a white one - no he’s not in a case ?? never mind!!
Thank you all sincerly for your kind words folks, they warmed the cockles of me heart.
(Phyllis is great Mags, she says thanks and wishes you and yours all the best.) 
You can’t beat a good chat with with one of yer lads/lassies Gummy, it’s always best to be on good terms with yer own family I think.
My fella, young Jem was over with us today, he works at computer maintenance for a well known financial institution in the city and he super charged me Mac for me, more ram and memory and all that stuff, the thing is a flyer now, finds whatever you want before you’re finished typing what it is, marvellous what you can do with that extra boost, I’m thrilled with it.
When my own Dad was alive we drank regularly together at the weekends, Phyllis me and my two brothers, me Da was the kind of man you could say anything to, talk to him like a best mate, there was never a dull moment when we were all together, happy days, I still miss him God be good him.
Ah lovely Joyce! smooth as a Rolls Royce, but for that piercing voice, she’d be every fellas choice.
“There was a young girl called Joyce
Who’s fella dreaded the sound of her voice
One day in the kitchen, when she started her bitchen
He made a beeline outa the hoyce.”
(that’s Northern Irish for “house”) 
Shakey’s house is in a bad way Spitty, any chance of giving him a dig 
out?
No, no chance. 
he’s too busy trying to fix his sur on atm and keepin out of the coppers way!!
oh so we’ll be seein more of ya around the place flyin around then to be sure to be sure??
does anyone recall sweetie_pie of once this parish ?? well she is now a super mod - there ya go Mags! some of your magic must have rubbed off ?? lying in the sand in a bikini on another distant star!!
Of course, one of the less coarse fair play, ones typing fingers could not be in in better hands.
has any one seen her counterpoint who used to be here Miss Soo Low HK?
Think she has “gone it” alone gummy
Do I remember Sweetie Pie? how could you ever forget her, she was all over place, a real natural born organiser, never a bad word for anyone, I’m glad she reached her goal, had the Trust Level thing been out then she would have been a level 90.
I’ve been worried about Solo, a lovely lady and great scribbler, she disappeared very suddenly, I remember her saying she had been in hospital, I do hope she’s alright, miss you old friend.
They have now come up with alcohol free Guinness, not content with the multitude of water drinkers in the pubs today they have to make them look like they are having a real Guinness complete with creamy head, while in fact all they are drinking is jazzed up black water.
Yes the squeeze is on now to abolish alcohol altogether just like they crushed the smokers, anyway I won’t be around to “enjoy” an alcohol free pub.
Alcohol free Guinness? what a sacrilege!
How silly is that, and it’s actually dearer than real beer, don’t say it’s for the taste of the beer, nobody actually likes the taste of beer, I don’t know anyone who does, it’s the cheery feeling one gets after a few.
Buying alcohol free beer to me is like hiring a taxi then walking behind it, a complete waste of time and an uncalled for expense, better to have a bottle of 7up if you’re just thirsty.
I believe it’s brewed as ordinary beer first then it’s the process of taking the alcohol OUT that creates the extra expense, or so a chap who works in a brewery told me in the local today.
My prayer for the day:
May the good Lord protect the few pleasures remaining to us oldies. 
Hallelujha Brother, nailed it there kid. 
I’m feeling cheery and I ain’t opened it yet.
still makin the homemade stuff - tin 'o malt stack of H2O and a sachet of yeast - surely canny mess aboot wiv that? I am just about to sample Thomas CoopersDevil’s Half Ruby Porter -hope it don’t take twice the time to drink as saying it? 50 cents a pint - takes two weeks to pour though??
That should be enough time to save you from the Devil.
Wow! 50 cents a pint, good for you Gummy, enjoy it old son.
I’s €6 over here now, my problem was I should’ve drank more of it when it was cheaper.
There was a horse going in the last race at Warwick some weeks ago, it went off at 7/4 favourite
It was called “Anywayyoulookatit”.
They have a habit in racing circles to stick several words together, but I think the owner here was acting the maggot when he named this horse because if you put a comma after the “Anyway” it looks like this “Anyway, youlookatit”.
He sure looked a right tit when it finished second last.
These racing owner chappies will have they’re bit of fun, some of the names they put on the horses are ridiculous, I see them every day on the racing pages.
I’m told that thoroughbred horses are not very clever animals, don’t know how true that is, for example a racing horse won’t answer to his/her name when called, unlike a dog, but with some of the names they’re given who could blame them.
I’ve yet to see a better or funnier combination of two horses who ran in the same race back in the 1980’s, one was called “Hoof Hearted” and the other “Ice Melted”, I kid you not.
I remember a Frenchman telling me that old guillotine operators never die, they just head-off and pop down to the Blaskets. 
Oh God!, I think it’s time for me tablet again.
Horses, what beautiful animals they are.
yes I’ve often wondered whether horses like their job of just transorting fat lazy cowboys around all the time. Not much conversation goin on I wouldn’t imagine - just tie them up to a post or tree and let them stand there gee wiz?? obviously horses don’t like carrying people around cos they have to be broken in to do it in the first place and then sometimes compete in silly dancing events!!
