Even more so when there's kids involved!

No.....never saw them! We just got "treated" to Man with support band Quicksand at the Patti over and over again.

Fuck all! The days of wild New Years Eves are long gone.....more's the pity!

I think you're one of the few here who's not divorced......that makes life a bit more straightforward.,

I knew Micky Gibbins......hell of a nice bloke. I don't think he ever got over Pete Ham's suicide though.......which effectively killed his career as well. He ended up playing in my mate's pub band in the early 80's.......it was pretty sad because they weren't that good tbh.

And I bet you married your first girlfriend? I believe they call that "First Shag Syndrome".

They were shite compared to anything.

I'm on Season 2 of "Reacher".

Pity you hadn't been born......you could have shown him how it's done!

Kids that I can get in contact with, kids that I can't find, grandkids, psychopath daughter in law, still working and therefore having continual payments of tax, IVA, and Social Security, Hernia, getting old, responsibilities of looking after the wife who has limited mobility, and loss of our rights in Europe immediately spring to mind. Go back to your teenage years.....all you did was go to work, get dosh, and go out and have fun.

Nobody's life is as simple as it was when they were in their teens.

I know you want to go back to the pre WWII era Phil!

And now we're both hitting 70 next year! But a lot didn't make it this far so I suppose we did OK really.

The last day of 2023 coming up! I still want to go back to 1973! Life was so much simpler then!

Laurie has put some stuff up on FB......his route didn't look as tough as yours!

He can't cos he hasn't recovered from showing the rugby players how it's done!

Absolutely superb Fred.......that's some real hardcore shit!

It's isolated......but people post about it on FB etc and what is a relatively small number of affected machines suddenly seems like a big issue. Cos you never hear from the hundreds of thousands of owners who've had no issues.

It doesn't happen to all of them.......I think mine would have gone by now if it had a bad pump.

About 20300 kms / 12600 miles......5 years old in April.

An hour and a half? You must have found him interesting!

Covering your tracks I'd say!

With Hillbillies?

@Clive.......as Man of the Year what's your take on Rich hanging round with Blender?

You got it! Probably reporting back to him everyday on what you and me are up to! Cos after all, they were onto you as soon as you put that reply in to Mawsley.......as if they'd been tipped off in advance.
