Not heard a dickie bird, may drop him a line me thinks tomorrow.

Those cold calls are classics. I got one today, woke me up at 11.20 after a night shift, would switch it off but I'm on call.

I could do with a script for those calls, probably along the lines of "We don't use phones, this is just for emergencies, Do you have an emergency?" would do.

I could do with ringing some of these a*s*s up at 3.30 am and ask them if they would like my services :-)

Register them with some USA call service, that would get them woken early enough! I sorted out the fax callers many moons back. I came into the shop in the morning to find the 8' length of fax on the floor. I was livid so i taped it into a loop, dialled their number and pressed send watching it go on and on and ariston. Best £3 i ever spent on a call.

He vanished with an "I'm going to be ill for a while" message, which is concerning as I think he's been badly ill before.

Bugger, met the chap, nice bloke! Hope he's ok.

LOL - you made it sound like a a circuit for burglars!!! What the heck is the Warwickshire ring then?

Warwickshire ring then?

A whole series of canals, featuring amongst many others, the Grand Union

You learn summat new every day day!! We live very close to the longest canal in the Uk, the Leeds - Liverpool!! Best place in the world on a nice day, not so good if it's melting it down!!

Ah, that kind of illness ;-)

ISTR him saying he'd been given the death knell many years ago and had survived, so I'd been putting x and y together again and making 4.

some sort of optical problem, I seem to recall, this time.

What, as in his eyes or the effect he has on others' ;-)

sounds like a perfectly balanced diet

William Tasso uttered summat worrerz funny about:

I can say from experience that to be perfectly balanced you need a pint of Guinness and a pint of wine :-D

Lee D

can you recall exactly when it was that you last felt perfectly balanced? surely not since dancing with the daughters of Solihul :)
