Max's next trick is to try and win WITHOUT contacting with anyone!!! paul

Try stuffing your new boots with damp newspaper leave until the paper is dry then try then. The choice of newspaper is yours. It was the advice when I had to wear NHS shoes. Mind that was more years/decades ago than I am willing to admit to. paul

Ian/ Marina, We bought our house rather than rent, 20 years ago decided 2 years gone to stay. Guess I am going to have to empty that box that is still sealed from when we moved. 3 doors away they put a for sale sign up with the sold sign on 2 days ago! Enjoy the move. paul

Just a thought but check the timing belt is okay first and not slipping. If its that water is not circulating either that is terminal!. paul

A U D I ALWAYS URGENTLY DEMANDING INVESTMENT My TT roadster, in the next month would need 4 new tyres, servicing and timing belt change, £2500+ So I decided to throw £2000 at a MX5 2 litre GT Sport Tech. Not as sophisticated as the Audi but a hoolie to drive! and a lot cheaper to insure. Audi make very good cars but I have never been in one of their dealerships without coming feeling slimed on. paul

Re garages. I am a strange person. I keep a, shock horror, a CAR in ours!!! paul

Small port? paul

To finish it would have to be cheese board with a LBV port. Then a simple coffee with a Grand Marnier on the side. God I'm hungry now. paul

The youngest step daughter will not eat anything that looks like meat but will eat a Mcdonalds! I have never tried one or been in one of their establishments. I prefer my fast food to be served after a nice glass of wine, on a white china plate. Then when the blushing fillet steak has been eaten somebody takes the plate away. paul

An ex girlfriend of mine ( she was a diet specialist) always told me that the best way to lose weight, was when you sit down to eat with the plate of food in front of you, before you pick up the knife and fork, drink a pint of water! She also said my interpretation of a pint water i.e. herbal water (beer) does not count. Good with the challenge. paul

It's getting silly around here. Just had a call from my niece asking if I could get hold of my stepdaughter 'cos she hadn't got her new number. To tell her to get here now vaccine centre NOW, D is 49years 363 days old! They had spare capacity because 10 people had not turned up and her husband had just had his jab 1 hour earlier. Where my niece is a marshal, they are prepared to stop cars towards the end of the day rather than risk wasting a dose! Good for them. paul

Well had the second jab tonight, was going to be yesterday but was cancelled. 9 Not enough vaccine for second ones, then got a call tonight from my niece at 5pm to get here now too much vaccine, so by 6 we were out done and told to still go by guide lines and 3 weeks before maximum effect. paul

Just read Catcook's post totally agree. paul

Have just booked a cottage, today, near the 'capital' of the Broads for late May. Price not too bad but while looking for info about it on different websites, one site was asking £200 more for the same week! The other sites were all the price we paid. Boats were just too rare and expensive, for what we saved on boat hire will pay for a day boat for 3 days, also I am not sure I would want to hire at the moment. paul

We had a call today to say our second jab due on the 12th of March is now going to be on the 10th because the vaccine we were due to have has to be used by the 12th! Blaydon on Tyne seems to be too good they have no vaccine this week. If you have not been contacted and are over 60, ring 119 you should have been contacted by now. If you have been contacted and not gone for a jab, stop reading the (anti) social media!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember wikipedia is edited by those that believe they are right but usually wrong. paul

That looks like it would get through Potter bridge. I did say through not under! paul

Well it's now over 4 weeks since I had the vaccine and to all the anti's out there, it's not a problem. My controller seems a nice robot with a sense of humour, it's just had me doing handstands and somersaults while humming the birdie song, mind I am not going in that supermarket again unless told to. paul

Must be bad down there for no bin collections, we only have about 5 inches of snow but the bins were emptied today as normal. Not even enough snow to send the ploughs in advance of the bin lorry. paul

Glass half empty JM? I'm more half full, but room for more if your buying. paul

Well the flat hired from Herbert Woods is carried over from last March then we took the risk in November to book Shimmering Light for the next week. Still hopeful, it will be a month after the 15,000,000 are jabbed so we vulnerable ones should be protected and things can slowly open. Shows how life has changed, here we are hoping someone is going to stick a sharp needle full of toxins into us. paul

Jean your maths are perfectly good. It is not 12 weeks but the 1st date he gave was 29/3 which also not 12 weeks. When I hesitated he asked why and I told him we had a holiday (theoretically) booked in the Broads for 2 weeks from the 20th but could come home for 2 nights. He then looked again and gave us the 12th saying it is probably better to have before we go. 12 weeks is the max but Pfizer recommend a 3 week gap. paul

James as in NYA. paul

We had a call yesterday to book our 2nd jab, 12th March. I don't know if there is another 3 weeks to wait after that, like there is with the first jab. We had Pfizer (3 weeks ago) they seemed to be keeping the Oxford for those with allergies or were on blood thinning drugs. That was how we were called, too many early morning appointments needing the Oxford, so the staff could propose 2 people that would hopefully require Pfizer so not to waste a drop. paul

James is the one I would expect to be interested in Cove. paul

Andy, Never mind your changed priorities. It is a fairly easy going place with only 1 or 2 awkward ones (we sold our boat) so 1 less, Cove would be best for someone willing to give that personal touch! You sound like the ideal to run it, unless you don't like mowing grass. David always tried to help everyone and everyone tried to help them, David is the name of everyone involved there, even my middle name is David. I can think of a lot friends there that won't be happy at losing David as an owner/friend. paul
