Adverts now surrounding the screen and shrinking the text to a tiny space in the middle. Struggling to type as adverts keep jumping under the cursor!

Oh yes, Sardine and Tomato. Really fancy a Spam fritter now!

Sounds like Varndean Grammar in the 60's.

Oh dear. So your comments are rooted in envy. Literally millions aren't able to do a lot of things throughout their lives, because we aren't all equal.

I agree Labour is about the working man. I just don't understand why 24 hrs after the working man retires, he shifts to become a target to grab all he has worked and planned for while working and instantly derided as a pensioner, or worse still a boomer. Whilst still probably being a retired...

Imperial Queen. I remember Freddie announcing debuting this new song in Brighton. Locked in my soul forever.

Some are natural, some aren't. A dear departed friend never worked out that the clutch made gear changes easier. :ROFLMAO:

The Kray Twins to sort out Harry and Meghan.

Sometimes mellow acoustic is perfect:

Sorry to see this thread rebooted with sad news. I almost gave a thumbs up to my own post above! I hope he doesn't suffer too much now. Makes me want to email him and thank him for the pleasure since before I even started work over 50 years ago.
