but  just how does that relate to the universe in  a quantam way?

Talking about that I never really liked that sci  fi series " Quantum Leap" but my granddad loved it. He also preferred a ham and cheese sarnie on white bread whereas I always went for whole meal. What is it about the price of cheese in LOS? A complete rip off. Talking about being ripped off I once bought a Ford Granada that had been clocked. Did I mention that clocked is also English slang for seeing something as in " Did you clock that drunk bloke at Pete's birthday party?"

I got clocked once at a gig in Bristol for not letting a bloke chat up the girl next to me, is that where the Thai word kik comes from, gig ? A one nighter, here today, Bawtry tomorrow. Don't ever go to Bawtry, I once had to spend the night there sleeping in a red telephone box trying to hitchhike back to Hull from Ireland.  If they made telephone boxes a bit bigger they could double up as one of those tiny cubicles Japanese businessmen sleep in when they miss the last train home.They're a strange bunch, those Japanese businessmen , sit in Patpong bars at the counter staring at the women  as if they  are gynaecologists about to perform invasive surgery. I had invasive surgery once, the doctor stuck a catheter up me, all he said was 'Look it's my job to take the p*ss out of you .'

A  query for Patsy though I fear my question may be too intrusive or personal , if so please forgive me, I'm just being a nosy parker. Why do you no longer have a cat, did it die of natural causes or did it get tired of listening to Lionel Richie and move  next door in search of more meaty rock n roll?? 

 

I had two.  One died at the grand old age of 16.

 

I had problems with my housing and had to move from my flat.  My landlady was a bitch.  So, unfortunately I had to give Jimmy away.   I had no other choice, and am still very sad about it even now 5 years later.

 

He now lives in the countryside, surrounded by fields and is  spoilt rotten.  So, in the end i made the best decision, and am glad i didn't have to put him in the Cat Home for adoption.  I don't actually know if he is still alive, he was 16 in September.  I miss him everyday.  The people are so posh they even had the vet come to their house to give him a check up!!!   He was 100% healthy and he cleaned his teeth!!   The only quibble i had was they never asked for his vet notes nor for me to change the address on his chip.

 

Oi, he loved Lionel.  Even though his favourite was Michael Bublé!!

I like chestnuts.  They're even better warm, when it's freezing cold outside.

Whatever happened to 'Texan' bars?  They were great.

not as good as a 'yorkie' bar, all the truck driver ate them

Yorkie bars are still on sale - they have them in our local expat shop though I am sure they used to be bigger.

maybe they made them smaller so pickup drivers could eat them
