[Stephen]

Been a funny old day.....not

[qbman1]

You missing your old pal Merv ?

[Stephen]

Who! .

[qbman1]

Dunno - I vaguely remember a rather attractive blonde with a wrinkly old feller, but apart from that....?!

[Stephen]

I think he spun the odd 78 in some shed on the odd Saturday

[towny44]

I wonder if he has asked the DJ on board Ventura to let him run a few late night discos?

[qbman1]

Brave man if he does that - he'll need a kevlar jacket when they have had a few

[Stephen]

Do they still play old time music from the twenties

[qbman1]

Not on Ventura - The Gyspy Rover is the current favourite !!

[towny44]

It must 30 years at least since I made it to a late night disco on land or sea.

[qbman1]

....and you were probably the oldest swinger there then !!

[Stephen]

and still is

[towny44]

My swinging days, of whatever variety, are now a distant, yet still pleasant, memory.

[qbman1]

Do you still have the pampas grass in the front garden ?

[towny44]

Pampas grass does not look so good when it's horizontal, which with our winds it would be.

[qbman1]

It gets worse - Doris is coming for you !

Mr groundhog says winter is going to last six weeks longer.

[towny44]

Mr groundhog says winter is going to last six weeks longer.

That's not too bad, Spring is not due to start until 1st March anyway, so what's 2 extra weeks.

[Stephen]

14 days. .

[towny44]

OK, so you're a mathematician!

[qbman1]

Did I ever tell you about the constipated mathematician ?


....he worked it out with a pencil !

[towny44]

By heck I remember that from when I was in school, they do say the old ones are the best ones.

[qbman1]

What, like the gynaecologist who redecorated his hall through the letterbox ?!

[Stephen]

OK, so you're a mathematician!

Far from it. Unless I'm owed money
