Usually, bit like last night, when I’ve been working a bit late, first thing I do after entering the house is have a couple of Units.
Never knew that about alcohol Solo, every days a schoolday on here. 
I’m delighted your on the mend Sweetie, when all is said and done, there’s no fireside like your own fireside, as the old Irish saying goes.
I’m sitting in the living room with the wife, she’s just watched a film on Talking Pictures called “My Foolish Heart” whata load of weepie tripe, she’s a sucker for this type of film, always was, she was actually crying, God love her she’s very sentimental, when it was over she wiped her red eyes, and said “I really enjoyed that Jem” Enjoyed crying! Jaysus how are we ever supposed to understand women.
I’m waiting patiently for the huge blizzard that’s supposed to hit us at 4pm, I got a big coal fire on and coal in for the night, and I have me camera ready to capture the moment for posterity, although why should I bother, what has posterity ever done for me.
it’s very dangerous going on hols these days - best stay at home!!
I am with your good lady on this. We women like a good weepy film . It does the sinuses a power of good.
They used to make really good weepy ones. The Yearling was a classic as when he was told to shoot the fawn every women in the cinema burst into heartbroken sobs (and a few of the men blew their noses)
And who could ever forget Shenendoah 
Or jump on a plane to see you.
Obituary: Lord Callaghan of Cardiff
MARCH 27, 2005
Lord Callaghan of Cardiff, who has died at the age of 92, was one of the most popular politicians of his generation - he was known as Sunny Jim - and the only person in the 20th century to hold the four most important offices of government: Chancellor of the Exchequer, Home Secretary, Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister.

Jim Callaghan entered Number Ten as prime minister in 1976
In the midst of this “winter of discontent” of 1978-79, Callaghan returned from a summit on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, and gave some an impression of complacency when he denied there was mounting chaos.
"Crisis? What crisis?" said the Sun headlines next day. Before long, the government was in a parliamentary crisis, when the Scottish Nationalists and other minor parties deserted Labour over devolution.
In a vote of confidence, Labour lost by one vote, the first time this had happened in 50 years. In the excited parliamentary atmosphere that followed, Callaghan acknowledged that the government’s time had run out.
viz "Snow what snow"
it was noted that they never ever wrote a smash hit like “all around my hat” and some would say ‘thank god’!
Many intelligent folks do strange stuff, that is mind boggling, but, maybe that is because they went onto “Further Education”?
So that’s where the ring of feathers was all the time, all around me hat. Remember when the ladies all wore wax fruit in their hats? Pears, apples, grapes, oranges, even bananas, some of them at the races had huge fruity hats and looked like Moore Street Fruit Market.
The brother took a large bite out of an apple on the Granny’s hat one sunday morning, she left it down on the table as she went to fix her hair, he was only six and thought it was real, they did look very realistic, he got a clatter across the ear for his trouble.
Reading up on how satellite TV works and I’ve just discovered that my satellite dish is parabolic and has a feed horn on it, I’m thrilled to know that, one is forever learning, and for all the good it’ll do me now.
I wonder would my feed horn eat peanuts? I got a huge bag of them from the coal man who’s sister works in a peanut factory, better not try it, they might give the feed horn a parabolic fit, I had an Uncle who had a parabolic fit once, not a pleasant sight at all.:shock:
Lets hope that information “Sticks” in the morning.
Any idea of the date of that paper clipping Sweetie? It must be pre 1922 as we were no longer part of Great Britain after that year.
There was too much lovey dovely going on in tonights Film4 film “The Three Musketeers” should be renamed “The Three Musheteers” but what can one do when one is snowed in, lucky to have electricity at all, tip wood.

…so there I was,busily engaged in driving a gritter/plough for my local council [I was asked if I’d help out as their staff couldn’t get in…kind of ironic,but c’est la vie] when this chap tapped on the window & asked if I could possibly pull his car out of a ditch…weeeell…it’d be rude to refuse…
