P'raps I'll make a point of only turning up at Christmas! It'll be
interesting to see how long that goes on (I expect the Win 95 groups are still going though, eh? In which case it'll be inteeresting to see how long the regulars go on! ROFL!!). Anyway, how is everyone? I trust the bit about Ron being 'blind' is exaggeration? Hope so. How's my mate Casey? Kind of fearful asking that. It has been a long time now! It is 9 years more-or-less to the day, I believe, since I turned up here. So Mike must be feeling real old! So am I now that Sonny and Cher just started going on about 'The Beat', going on. La de da de dee. It's like they say about our 'bobbies', when you want a pine tree there's never one around! What about her with the hips?

Pardon the interruption, Shane, or is it Tarquin? Mighty good to 'hear' from you again and know you are all right (?) Was wondering about the 'blind' effect on Figg's husband myself, but assumed it to be true bg. This group will live forever, almost, depending on our life span. The best to you and Figgs, and everyone here now and always, Harry. "Tarquin T. Shuttlecock" wrote in message ... P'raps I'll make a point of only turning up at Christmas!

It's Morgan, Harry. Or possibly Potter, Colonel? Anyway my inner Welshman
decided to take the controls for a few hours, to make Joan and Noel feel at home! Of course, Joan isn't Welsh (I keep forgetting!). Merry Xmas to you either way. Actually I just realised why I put my Morgan hat on. Same thing that led me back here today in fact! Morgan webster72n wrote: Pardon the interruption, Shane, or is it Tarquin?

Hi Puss....
I will try and answer the pertinent points.....but glad to see you back. My computer went nuts on me today cuz either a) I changed the batteries in my wireless keyboard, or b) Rogers was fixing a problem from their end, but it sure was a rather bizarre experience. Flying OE's and IE's, if I tried to type, it did the same letter (zoom) across the page, crashed, went into Safe Mode, and I believe I saw a tear or two dripping down the monitor. (G) Using an old MS keyboard here, but at least there are letters on it. For some odd reason, I wear them off. (quiet, you lot!!) Ron is not blind, but he is flippin' deaf when it comes to my voice, grin. And she of the slim hips arrived on Wed. morning for 2 weeks, so we have been shopping, natch. Jewellery design is next on the list. Sadly, we lost Casey on Sept. 28th to cancer. It took me a long time to get over losing that silly puss!! I never realized how much I adored him. He was my baby...............Ron's too. We still expect him to amble around the corner looking for treats. How is Rosie?? Is she still with you? Off to go eat some brownies that slim hips made. Guess they won't be all that slim from here on in, lol. She made out a list of what she wanted for supper each night and actually that is a good idea. Takes the guesswork out of "what shall we have for supper tonight". All the best and glad to see you back on here. We should meet up once a month or some such and keep the old group going.

There's often confusion about what is a Cockney. "Technically" to be a Cockney one has to be born "within the sound of Bow Bells", however the Bow Bells are those of St Mary le Bow in Cheapside which is not in Bow nor in the east end of London but instead quite near to St Pauls in the City although today many think that being born in the east end of London means that they are a cockney. As it happens both of my parents were born in the London Borough of Holborn less than a mile from St Mary Le Bow (not that they met until nearly 30 years later and many miles from Holborn) so technically both were cockneys however neither spoke with either a cockney or east end accent. -- Mike |
