Meantime Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 27 minutes ago, Gracie said: the trouble is half the house won't get done or I'll forget which rooms I've don That's easy, the rooms with a full glass are not done, the rooms with an empty glass, there's a slim chance they might be done. Any rooms with a broken glass, you should give up and go to bed and sleep it off. 29 minutes ago, Gracie said: I haven't even started yet. Housework, It's halfway through the day now, you might as well leave it for today and do it tomorrow. The housework, not the wine that is. Now you may notice that the Politician in me has evaded to answer one of your questions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 A sad day today, an entertainer who not only made me laugh, made me smile and once or twice even cry but a man I was privileged to call a friend. R.I.P Paul 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Very sad indeed. A man of many talents. A great supporter of Battersea dogs and cats home. RIP Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnut Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Often near the mark but never stepping over. One of the only entertainers on TV and radio who made me laugh. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regulo Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Went to see him record one of his daytime chat shows, never laughed so much. During breaks, he was even funnier. I'm not a fan of drag acts, but he was a genuinely nice man. A great loss. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairTmiddlin Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Lived very close to me, would often see him and his partner shopping in the town. If you said hi he would always respond with a cheery voice and sometimes stop for a quick chat. Truly a man of the people and will be sadly missed locally. Quick Paul O Grady anecdote I took a semi-temporary stewardship of a golf club locally when I came out of Pubs. Ladies division sprang a surprise party on me and wanted Pink Champagne which the suppliers couldn't supply Down to the local Waitrose and purchase 5x 6 packs and headed to checkout POG was in front of me in the queue with a trolley with quite a few bottles of booze in it "Having a party" he said. I quickly riposted with "Yes but you're not invited we need enough to go around". At which point he came and shook my hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Today we are due to explore the inside of a volcano that entails a long haul uphill. Also hoping to book a days sea fishing, for just me as my crowd are either too young or can’t manage sea sickness - that’s me on a day off 😄 Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea14Ian Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 We had a nice morning in Hemsby. Had a coffee in the Lacon Arms.Very nice pub close to the Lifeboat station.

Jbx5 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 At last we have had a great day out on the water with the wind dropped from the last few weeks and the sun out all day ( apart from very misty early morning which disappeared very quickly). Boat cleaned inside and out and a well deserved Sunday lunch at the Waters edge Bramerton which was up to the usual good standard.

BroadAmbition Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Seeing as I’m here all week I thought I’d try Richo’s cafe for breakfast this morning. Chuffin Eck, £9:30 for a sausage muffin and a coffee (Microwave) - Wow. Declined a receipt in case that cost another quid. Stalham high Street tomorrow On the upside the decor is pleasant it’s card only, no cash payments Griff 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambridgeCabby Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 The coffee price at £2.80 seems reasonable but £6.50 for the sausage muffin seems vastly over the top . A milkshake at £4.50 will be a huge cash cow whilst all those families are waiting for their boats to be ready upon their arrival after a long drive to Stalham , very clever move for the business .

YnysMon Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Maybe not such a clever move unless the food items meet expectations. That sausage muffin that Griff had looked awful. I wouldn’t pay any money for that. If Richardson’s business is based around a lot of returning customers I can’t see that the cafe will last long.

Andrewcook Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 If I was going to Richardson's Yard I would make a stop at the Crown Pub in Catfield for my refreshments as seeing Richardson's Café on site is a bit pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilB Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I was topping up my electric at Richos office a couple of weeks ago and while I was there decided to give the new café a try. Sadly my experience was similar to Griff's so I've not been back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExSurveyor Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 On 23/03/2023 at 17:08, ExSurveyor said: Todays problem was I have too many desks in the old study and I am moving it to another room. This is part of a resuffle of rooms and redecoration. We now have a 3 room newly decorated annexe that isn't needed after MiL passed away and a playroom full of toys that are mostly too young for the growing grandchildren. Any way, I don't need five desks anymore, one has gone to youngest son. What I needed was 3 desks and a printer stand / bookcase. I fired up the saw bench and reduced a desk to a printer stand / bookcase. I have nearly finished decorating the new study ready to move everything down to it. One completed, made to measure unit. The project escalated, 20 years of telephone systems, internet connections, multiple printers, all originally hard wired, then wireless, phone and internet extenders. That took some untangling. Then going through dozens of box files for previous businessess and properties followed by checking all the current files. I managed to burn out the heavy duty shredder. I have finally finished the new study and updated all the tech connections. In between I decided I needed a new office chair to match the new look. Ebay produced a ratty and battered antique chesterfield chair I liked in Hertfordshire for £50. It was very cracked and scratched. It has taken some effort to refurbish it and bring it back to life. I have never tried leather restoration before, it is a very forgiving material. I did hesitate before getting the sandpaper out but it works really well. Filled, stained and polished then the wood refinished. I quite enjoyed doing the chair. 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
