GG I should check with your operator regularly and consider making alternative arrangements if possible. The repercussions for flights will last for several days once the ban has been lifted. The Government are talking about mobilising the Armed Forces to get people home. Their plan is to get stranded people to central 'hubs' in mainland Europe and then bus/road them home. Keep checking the situation on the internet - and good luck (but don't let it spoil your holiday!) Mx

I propose the new name should be 'The Green Man'. A favourite name of mine, also it represents inclusivity, with a common cause for good across Christian,Pagan and other faiths. The Green Man also represents new growth and re-birth, of regeneration. It symbolises strength and security. All-in-all, a great name for a pub!

Driving off with my mobile phone on the roof of the car, hearing it slide off as I rounded a bend, watching it crash onto the road in my rear view mirror, seeing it being driven over by a Jag, then retrieving the pieces, putting it back together....and discovering that it still worked!

Some very good ones in there Random. Liking the mushy peas too.

No WoD. At least not the last time I looked! ;-)

Woof!

No Kel, you are not wrong, au contraire! You are a lady with impeccable taste! ;-)

Very funny LM! I once mistakenly applied verruca gel to my chapped lips, thinking it was lipsol! Ouch!

KPC - nice caravanner joke slipped in there! Common sense must surely prevail in such circumstances. There's surely a massive difference between brandishing an unsheathed weapon and carrying a closed Swiss army knife in a glove compartment of your car (or brief case, for that matter). Strange times indeed.....

Either it's broadband from EDT, Woof, or they can afford iPhones with all the money they save from not paying their way!

The pleasure of a Private Garden

I do have one thing to thank the Bull Ring for... it housed the Navy recruiting office and I wandered in one day....

A Sobering Tale of the Terraces Ashamed I am, that as a young thug To those whose head had hairless patch As loud and lewd and crude as I could Would hurl abuse as he played the match. "Lockhead! Lockhead! ...Andy Lockhead!" Oh we had fun making fun through the game But oh how my laughter soon faded to pain As barely a year since such cruel refrain So bare was a patch on my head it came!

Yep, I'm smiling! :)

Sweet dreams are made of this... Who am I to disagree? I travel the world and the seven seas... Everybody's lookin for something. Annie Lennox

A shapely leg. Makes me smile.

...and she is beautiful

Extatic

Yes indeed. Cars. Hundreds die in them every year. Hardly a mention of that. Then a few people die from swine flu. And all hell breaks loose.

I thought I was going bald, until I realised that, in fact, my head hair had simply re-located to grow from by back, shoulders, ears and nostrils. So life isn't too bad really. :)) (that's a picture of me, by the way)

I've never smoked and am forever thankful for it. The thought of being addicted to something that can give me a painful early death (and having seen my father suffer, I know what I'm talking about) is enough to put me off forever. Sad fact is, smoking is an addiction that will probably end your life prematurely, no matter how much you say you enjoy it, or bleat about having your rights taken away.
