I have solved my problem, in the cupboard under the worktop I keep tins, I cant bend down to look so I poked about in there and a couple of tins came out, one tin is custard the other part of the label had long since fallen off it is dated on the end best before 14/02/2000. I got my wife to get down there to see if any other tins are there, she said there are several but they had rusted and the contents have spilled out and were stuck to the bottom of the cupboard. I have opened the tin it looks and smells O.K. Looks like stewing steak the part of the label left says Wis that?s all. I am getting the step stool for my wife to lean on to help her get to her feet, I will cook the Steak for my wife I will make do with the custard. My wife ate the steak but could not place the flavour made by any manufacturer. Well that saved us but the cats can just look on wanting something I thought the wife might leave a little, they can lick my custard dish. P.S. Thanks for the offers of help.

Planning permission - how??? Neighbour from hell

Have you thought of bying a few Pots that could be put on those moveable castorwheeled stands? They would not make a permanant obstruction, they could at least be moved about, removal and disposal of the slabs would cost far more. There might even be a sympathetic member here who might bring some soil to you and fill the pots. Your aged neighbour may not be a neighbour for very much longer, it might be reasuring for her to try to be amiable towards her. I know that many aged people are suffering a great deal of pain but do not like to show it, so they keep away from others, and they worry if they cant get about. -
Openned the front door to find my Zimmer expecting to get the hand grips warmed up ready, but it is not to be seen as the snow has covered it. So thats it, no amble along to the Food Kitchen for me today. Oxo for dinner and more hot water on the tea bag. I wonder how that chap is getting on who lost his home?

I have retired from the building trade for many years, this is shoddy work ( I do not use the term Workmanship.) The person who built this is not competant or abe to take pride in this very poor exhibit. If this was done by any of my former employees they would be sacked on the spot and any wastage of material deducted from their wage. I can only assume: These pipes are not for sewage, they are flexabe with only a spiral steel wire to keep them rigid, the inner is ridged and would not permit passage of effluent and soon block, these outer pipes whatever they are intended for will crush under the outer refilled groundwork. If this is an inspection chamber it should be water tight as seepage into it will soon fill the chamber and flow back along the pipes to what? A lower cellar or basement. If it is intended to be a connection to the sewers there are very strong inspection standards by the Local Authority if inspected by them. It amazes me just how poor work is so readily accepted these days, if you pay your money you want the job done. correct. If it is not on your property, you can only make the situation aware to the owners, or if you think it is a hazzard phone the Council Planning Dept. No there is nothing wrong with YOU. -

I think I remember the Dairy called Hills Dairies, then Home Counties, the near rounds were served by green three wheel Push carts the furthur ones by Horse and cart. Then there was the Little Singer Sewing Machine Vans. -
Nice to think that you can rub shoulders with a Millionair. I can understand moving the rubbish as they were looking for their rabbit that got free from its hutch. There are far worse things being deposited in Worlingham Road.

My oppinion is that the member who posted this Message although being a member for 10 months only ever posted just this one message, as no message has been posted by him since it was posted two weeks ago, could it be possible that he will not look here again for another 10 months? Perhaps he is hoping that some other person is willing to do the donkey work.

These bins although supplied to residents belong to the Local Authority, who as far as I can reserch only remove the bins from the obstuction point back to their Depot. I would think that any person paying a million pound for their home would not like to have this rubbish staying outside for very long.

That subject was raised by me in 2009 some time back now, I had deleted many of my posts as there were so many taking up space. Sorry I dont remember the Barber my Dad cut all of the families hair, he was the Prison Barber while he was Prisoner of War. He used several sized brown pudding basins over the head and cut off anything that still showed -
Certified Copy of Birth Certificate <RESOLVED>
computedshorty replied to DulwichFox's topic in The Lounge
My Birth Certificate got lost in the Blitz in the war, I got a copy when shown for the Call up into the army there was no problem, it cost 6 pence in old money. Certified Copy of the Birth in the Sub-District N.W.Camberwell. St. Giles Hospital. The Certified Copy does say that it can only be used for that named reason. ( No other use or purpose whatever ) -
I found a lot of those flies on my trousers, I could not pull them off so I cut them off only to find they were buttons, so I sewed a zip on them but it was upside down, now I have to zip down, and I cant get my trousers off.

Strange bottles full of orange liquid
computedshorty replied to tarafitness's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Bottles on Display I thought that we can catch this man, so I sat down and devised this plan. I will park my Camper near to the wall, To keep my calm and not loose my cool. It's getting dusk so hard to see clearly, must keep awake and not get dreary. Here comes a car, it came to a stop. his car is in the way I can?t see a lot Peeping out from behind my curtain, just what he is doing I cant be certain.. He has come up to the door of my van, I wonder then, what is now his plan. A knock on the door, I have no choice, I must open, as I can hear his voice. He stood there holding onto my door, To face him, I could fall through the floor. ?Excuse me lady, sorry to disturb tonight? ? I have got no empty bottles for my plight.? ? I really don't know what else I can do,? Do you think I could use your Campers Loo? -

Looking at the way they are displayed we could be looking for a Piss Artist. -
You might not have owned the car in 2004, or the Warden might not have worked for the authority at that time. One year can be an error but eight years is not reasonable. If the ticket was issued in 2004 the rule that is quoted might not apply. Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (England) General Regulations 2007.

computedshorty replied to tarafitness's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Teddy the Taxi driver is known to be a bit small, he was seen putting those bottles on the wall. He said he got held up in the Blackwell Tunnel, lucky man keeps in the car, his Antifreeze funnel. It does make one wonder what happens in the future, why he does not think to use and empty a catheter. Think of the sights that we might have to endure, will there be a sighting of a home made Manure? So he certainly takes chances, and has the bottle, slows right down then foot off of the throttle. Nips to the wall to place his fresh product there, then back into the car and drive off like a Hare. -
Hi. Monkey. Have you had any feed back? From expereince I have found that very few members are willing to be part of any Committee or be party of the organising of events, this all takes precious time that could be devoted to their vehicle. Most of the organisation would have to be done by you. The problem is to get the first few membes, another is to hold their interest and keep them as members. Things that you need to think about doing is; to print off a Newsletter that you can give to potential members. Somebody that might make the Newsletter for you might take on making one Bi Monthly, once the club is formed. A list of members tools that can be borrowed by members, a member musts keep a record of who borrowed the tools. As the tool list grows there might be a person who will help you use them. Members will be expert on Pannel beating, Welding Paint spraying, and Mechanics. There is also the list of suppliers of that evasive spare part, at the right price. Should you have a website, any supplier that has a small mention on it will get you and members a discount on your purchase from them . This will take you a great deal of time, are you prepared to devote time to give to it?

Hi. If you want to start your own classic VW club in SE22 there are considerations to keep to. Your members will be local and you must hold your meeting in a free place, your local pub or a members home, most of the members will have a great deal of knowledge to share. I have belonged to a Classic Car Club for many years, they had outings to places of interest and Sunday lunch meetings in country Pubs. You need a point of contact and a name. You will find that these Club Members are not people that use a computer a lot, as time is dedicates to their vehicle, so will not use a website if made for them.

Strange bottles full of orange liquid
computedshorty replied to tarafitness's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Ode of a plastic bottle. Plastic bottles seen on a Worlingham Road wall, placed there now, they totter a bit and tend to fall. To see or not to see? That is the open question, their fluid contents is now open to a suggestion. The contents colour and shade varies quite a lot, could it be the sun shining on them in this spot. Now some have been rested on these boxes, I don't think they belong to those local foxes. Could it contain a new fuel that I can put my car, if I chance it, and it?s no good, I wont get too far. The weather is changing now getting very cold, the bottles contents do not freeze, or so I am told. I thought I might save some money with this liquid, so this is the use I put to strange colour orange fluid. I put it in my cars radiator to act as an anti freeze, might be good idea of mine, might be wizard wheeze. The car seems to be O.K. It still goes good like hell, only thing now, inside there is such a dreadful smell. I cant complain it has saved me just a bit of money, soon got used to the smell, but others think its funny. If you need anti freeze then take what your car needs, I don't guarantee the fluid, will work at high speeds. Remember to replace back your empties to be refilled, think of others who can use it, who like you are chilled. -
