As legalb said, LM you are not alone in feeling this way. The question.. 'am I too old to...?' is understandable, but I am discovering that age is not necessarily a barrier to personal happiness and success. As long as health matters don't intervene, anything is possible. And it doesn't need to be something that achieves recognition from others, but as quids says, it's something that can be found from within. Easier said than done, I know! X

....and electric guitars.

Fair point Sharon - this could happen anywhere.

I must read more Keats. He knows.

I know the OP, and in this case I have no doubt this terrible event actually happened.

Awful thing to happen and to witness. Hope you're ok x

Strange... those words seem vaguely familiar to me!

I've just driven up the new section of road and Lo! Road humps that go across the entire width of the road and are not harsh on the suspension. Good news all round I think.

Oh go on..... dare you

Someone told me it is woof's birthday today.... Happy birthday woof, you old dog. Hope you get plenty of treats and an extra run around in the park. And if you're lucky, a bone.

I can't understand how Mr Bean is sexy, Monica... mind you, he drives a nice old mini.

Yes daizie, please keep your hedge trimmer for personal use only.

Well, thanks for that, although, sadly, it looks as if nothing will be done until the statistics show there's been accidents on the road due to speeding. Of course, this will be too late for the poor victims who will be injured (or worse) to populate the stats in the first place. Incidentally, I live on the road and I regularly see cars, vans, lorries, etc who use the road as a short-cut speeding down towards the school. They simply drive down the middle of the road where the speed cushions have no effect whatsoever.

Hi James, so the existing road cushions (that are useless) will be removed as part of the re-surfacing, only to be replaced with new ones? What a waste of an opportunity. Vehicles will continue whizzing down at speeds well in excess of the limit of 20mph, in a road already heavily congested with parked cars and a primary school with hundreds of local kids. A recipe for disaster. Speed bumps that continue across the full width of the road (similar to those in Court Lane) should be used. This will make motorists slow down to a safer speed - which is surely the main purpose of the humps in the first place.

Special birthday greetings to the radiant Hibbs today. Have a lovely day T x

Oh well legalb - there's always next time!

70's Gigolo? I can't recall telling you about that! It's Supposed to be a secret.... ;-) Apart from that, thanks for listening! I feel cleansed. LM - it's always a pleasure seeing you too!

A very nice evening once more, spent with a select few who indulged me in my salty old tales and more recent dodgy experiences. And an early happy birthday wish to the beautiful Hibbs x
