MikeO Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Grandson got his A level results today which got him into his first choice Uni - Liverpool! He's over the moon, particularly as he's got his season ticket at Goodison. Great news John! What's he studying? Tell me it's not politics or journalism please .

johnh Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Heard today that my older brother (who is in the cloth mob) is moving back, permanently, to Liverpool on 1st September (after 66 years away). Hoping to get up there to visit him and get to Goodison along with son and grandson. aaron and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Just had a visit from daughter-in-law, she who takes Charlie to Goodison when son can't. She works for BSI and is flying out to North Carolina tomorrow and then down to Puerto Rico. All on business. She does get about a bit. All over Europe and India and China in the Far East. aaron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Someone building a new house on a plot in my village, not a developer just a bloke on his own with the help of a mate as far as I can see; and you know what? He's built a shed at the back of it even before digging foundations, a man with his priorities sorted. Keep meaning to take a photo, love it.

MikeO Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 What a day. Up at five and left home at 5.45 for a 7.30 appt for my four year old grandson in Bristol (see also Spurs matchday thread). Day case surgery, we were there for eight hours; then I had to take him and his mum home to Paignton, stopping off to pick up another grandson who was going over for the week-end. Motorway was crap, Paignton was flooded, been home about fifteen minutes; in the wise words of Counting Crows, "Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones!" Oh, and he went into complete meltdown when they tried to put the wristband on him! From there it was downhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Highly thought provoking and controversial article this, but personally (probably get flamed for this) I have sympathy for these people. In my opinion nobody makes a conscious choice as to who they're attracted to to, it's hard wired in the brain; I've always been attracted to shorter women for example (among other attributes) but I could just as easily have been gay. To have an attraction you have no control over that's illegal and to not act on it because you know it's wrong must be a difficult way to live. I have no sympathy for those that do act on it though obviously. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41213657 Vranny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Tablet's been playing up so I just bought one of these... https://www.tesco.com/direct/hp-116-stream-11-aa000na-x360-intel-celeron-2gb-ram-32gb-storage-blue-laptop-with-office-365-and-1tb-onedrive-storage/537-3507.prd?skuId=537-3507 ...in Tesco's. Could've got it a few quid cheaper if I'd got it online I've since found but it was an impulse buy. All set up now, clever little toy.

MikeO Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Dreadfully sad this but I'm at a loss to understand something. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-41452014 Apparently the guy died saving his wife by jumping on top of her when he saw what was coming; but it was a "granite sheet measuring about 40m (131ft) by 20m (65ft)" falling from 200m up. How does a human body deflect that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Just had a letter from the Department for work and pensions telling me when I can start to claim my pension; it's May 15th 2026 and they'll write to me nearer the time to let me know how to go about it. Eight and a half years away? What a waste of some minor civil servant's time and paper. Absurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
