Well, Griff will be pleased, a Yorkie wins the series ! I thought the series was going to be ruined by that now out of date Duckworth/Lewis scoring system. I cannot understand, after clubs have spent small fortunes on floodlight systems, matches have to be curtailed. People pay a lot of hard earned to go to these games. A great game of cricket yet again, if not as explosive. Well done England. Congratulations to both teams for fabulous entertainment!!! Roll on next month and The ASHES. Iain

If its lead gutter .....that is a bargain! Iain.

Ray, Good thinking, but as he is dismembered in the boot just now, its best the flag can be seen at home Iain.

Hi Mark, Did the Skipper not send you the book of Gracies Jokes in the jiffy bag? Prized items they will be in years to come! Iain

Mine just now is pinned onto our hall wall Iain.

What was that you said Grace? Iain.

Stop moaning Alan it was until an hour ago only 12c here! Now a blistering 14c and sunny! Oh and the solstice is tomorrow. THEN its summer time proper some say! Iain

Oh Leo, you didn't mention that old fella in Oulton Broad, i've heard it said, he scares the living daylights out of hirers criss crossing in a "MORECOMBE" yachty type thingy, evil he is!!! Goes by the initials of JM on here! Iain.

Yup you got it. Because a car is solid and wont propel its way out like a boat, many hirers think it requires ALL that space to perform a similar manouver. Iain.

Hi Jasper, I am not meaning you sir, no way, I was meaning a lot of folks leave the boat moored to get back out with loads of space Bow n Stern. Iain

IMHO the problem is...some folks think they have to moor as if parking a car, which of course they do not! A small clearance bow and stern should surfice. simples. Iain.

Safe drive Eric ...oh and yes a guid bit swally too! Iain.

Awe come on chaps n chapess who in their right mind would want to see views like this down south? Iain

North ...South.....BOTH in equal amounts, inclined back to more of the South. There now we are all happy Well ....I am!!! Cannot miss out on my cruise up to Coltishall you see oops North! Iain.

Ah yes Mark, I had one of them too! A Dansette. My first LP played on it was South Pacific Iain.

Hi Alan, I won mine at my Cricket Clubs open at the Tombola Stall. I was one of the lucky ones, for the two years, probably less, it never snagged once! Iain

Personally Mark, I still think the Philips V2000 system would have been the best, but it was always obvious to me VHS would win out. Awe Mark you hadn't lived if you didn't have a 8track in your car late 60's early 70's lol Iain.

Best start saving up then Howard! Great news indeed!!! Iain.

Thank goodness this forum has ONE sensible member, apart from me that is! Thanks Grendel for your input. Perhaps dnks34 will sleep better now. Iain.

I loved the 8 track lol Had it in my Riley Elf! Iain

I don't know if Adnams still bring out a summer ale? Its lighter in ABV and a good session ale. The name escapes me just now. Where is Howard when you need him lol Iain

IMHO Alan, Wherry does not beat Adnams Broadside. EVER! lol Iain

Ah yes scarface Harry Webb, ....not everyone knows that In all his early filming, you only ever saw one side of his face. Iain.

Polly asked at the quiz had I been to the Midland Hotel. We have now, went yesterday afternoon. They have made a very good job of recreating the art deco image IMO. Later went for a carry oot curry, as had been to this Indian Restaurant before in Lancaster. It may have been three plus years since last there, but if anything it was even better than the one before! Attached link. http://www.babarelep.../lancaster.html Iain.
