A black square Gummy Bear!
I know what you are saying. 
What’s with all these “Boxed sets” of TV series? We see ads by ‘Now TV’ and others telling us we can watch thousands of films and hundreds of boxed sets for a fee, I have thousands of films on hard drive and can watch them all for free anytime I want to, never bothered to buy or watch a boxed set, those old series are just about OK in small doses, but a bit too much to watch one after the other, I mean one could easily become an addict and overdose on boxed sets. 
I know one chap who spent his whole two weeks holidays watching every episode of “Columbo” ever made, all on boxed sets, he wouldn’t stir out of the chair, even slept there after falling asleep watching them, his wife could take no more and she cracked, she lost her temper and beat him up before she threw him out, he went to the dogs after that, now all he has left as he tramps the highway is one eye and an old raincoat, and all because of the dreaded boxed set.:shock:
Could it all be a conspiracy to secretly kill off all the aged and unemployed? I am waiting to read something like this any day now.
“Man found dead in armchair in his flat”
"A widowed man was found dead in his armchair by a neighbour who was worried when she noticed that the man’s milk had not been taken in for two weeks, she called the police.
When they burst in the door Mr. I. Bulger of Paddington was dead and sitting upright in the chair with his eyes wide open and the TV still on. A three foot high and two foot wide stack of mixed boxed sets were found by his side. The remains were taken to St, Lukes mortuary and after a post mortem the coroner said the cause of death was “Boxed set syndrome” There you are folks , no sooner do they get rid of one disease when another new one pops up to replace it.
So be on your guard and don’t fall for their tricks, if there’s any boxing to be done let your local friendly undertaker take care of it when your time comes.;-)
I don’t really watch much TV.
I see they are selling really old stuff on DVD here.
I’m amazed they sell it.
I will post later today.
well I must admit that I have the completed boxed set of “Heartbeat” which I have watched in its entirety 9 times - YES 9 times. Why?? you may ask - well my wife did go abroad for 3 mths a few years back so it was good company for me. But it just takes me back to how it used to be - a bloody site better than it is today. As well it keeps putting up in the afternoon on the tellie - so I can now take it out of sequence.
I’m also working on Doc Martin but can’t stand Midsummer Murders - I could bloody murder them!
Today I did call into the hardware store and my heart did miss a beat or two - there she was - good morning Mr Yates I heard her call it and that was the clue. she introduced me to the new shop assistant - a filly of a thing and then said - “come into my private office Mr Yates” - Oh my God heart pounding and me staggering about I was about to have Miss Bottom to myself!
she said " d’ya mind if I carry on working whilst we catch ? " - well what could I say I may never get the opportunity again. she did ask me was I after anything in particular today? oh my god more heart pounding and I replied " well I’ve come looking for a long hard screw!" OMG - cool as a cucumber she replied " well if ya find one of those around here you’ll be lucky" - anyway we chattered about this and that - she offered me a tray that I rather fancied - heavily discounted as as special customer and that was it - at a certain magical signal we had to part swearing to do it together and next time with coffee - Oh mad fool that I am!!
Lucky Gummy, he is a happy bunny today.
I’m still nursing my hangover.
I’m in Nessbar one of the oldest places in Europe. It is boiling hot, but my boy has to watch the Football.
I met some Scousers today.
They had to be different, they have friends living here. They were a laugh.
They were telling us all the cheap places to eat and shop.
I still love Fake Street all those fake Rolex watches! It is something that attracts so many people. I have to say the best fake Rolex I have seen, came from Saudi. Even the Jeweler’s needed an eyeglass. I’m sure Jem would know.
I will take some pics for my return home on Monday.
Yes Sir Gumbert appears to be in great form all of a sudden, perhaps love is in the air.
You would know more about watches than I would Sweetie, a watchmaker is a different game than Goldsmithing.
I would love fake street too, some of the fakes are brilliant as you say, and why should these big names get all the dough, I bet you Ralph Lauren never made a shirt in his life.
You just get yourself back safe and don’t eat anything if you don’t know where it came from.;-)
Technology, folks who embrace it have to live and die by it’s sword. Luddites only had Smoke and Mirrors.
oh NO spittie is delirious again - it must be being apart from SP that’s doing it - now let’s try to work this one out - spittie ---- minus ----SP = all dried up ; as crinkled as a prune - and remember she would chivy him about his outhouse - how how how is the how house goin spittie??
I have just returned from the madness strip!
There are several ways to walk back, so we walked the main way. OMG!!! There were ladies of the night sat on the verges next to the bushes! Waving to my boys, no thanks, I was not happy.
they have to do it sometime?? - you may as well watch??
And foot the bill.
You cheeky boys!
I will never think of hedge’s in the same way! You two can start your own hedge fund.
NO - all ya lads need is a night out with me and spittie - wow what a time we would have - and you can keep ya old man safely at home!!
What about me?
Oh dear, I have just been told about the knife fighting last night!
You can easily buy knives and Taser’s here.
I suppose the drunk lads were fighting about the football???
I told ya your role is to keep ya old man and his old man at home??:shock:

You have no doubt heard of Boxcar Willie, we’ll have to call you Boxset Gummy.
I have to admit I’m a fan of Midsomer Murders, especially the ones with John Nettles, ya can’t beat a good who done it.
Well thank you kindly for the bit of news about the girl from the hardware store, we are genuinely concerned about your progress there Gummy old chummy. Was that a milk tray on special offer? I used to give my woman milk tray, worked wonders back then, or was that the Double Diamond?
My son was here for dinner today, he’s back in Dublin from Italy for a few weeks to work on a contract job, the moneys good so he’s taking advantage of the six weeks work.
We were talking about the water crisis over here because of the heat wave, he said he had to laugh when he was in Italy and he looked at the Irish news, 27c was nothing to them he said, they often go without rain over there for months and yet there is never any water problems, how come this is an Island and every time we get a decent bit of weather they start moaning about the water, beats me, bad management maybe? 
Oh Jem that was lovely that your son was home.
I just popped in to say Goodnight.
I’m flying home tomorrow.
hurrah - well come on chaps a big hurrah - spittie; pugga lug ;jem - RJ!!!
