Random post to avoid accusations of being on topic

300 plus posts for a load of cobblers seems good to me Towny. And as for talking to yourself you should practice more. You might enjoy the conversation

New Years resolution - make friends with the farmer opposite - then I don't have to go to the shops just for milk.

Sunny here tomorrow morning so will partake in a bike ride if that's the case. Get rid of some blubber.

Once I start talking to myself Merv, I will be ringing up the men in white coats to take me away.

My car's costing me an arm and a leg to get it fixed.

[Happydays]

Went to look at new cars today......

That was dangerously close to a Red Card from the Modplods for being on topic on the off topic thread

Merv, your "When should Xmas start thread" of similar age to this has now attracted over 500 posts..........just saying.

[The Tinker]

Just deciding whether to crack open the Baileys or stick to cider?

[Mervyn and Trish]

Well you keep posting here Towny. Proves it's cobblers I suppose. Happy New Year by the way. Looking forward to your report on the cruise you're doing in 2016 that we're doing in 2017.

We bought a new car to day!.....

It would seem an appropriate time to ask when Christmas should end........

[Mervyn and Trish]

Snorkers for dinner tonight

I enjoyed reading 'The Cruel Sea'

I enjoyed reading 'The Cruel Sea'

A really good read Ancient Mariner, I am trying to locate a similar book called "The Bitter Ocean" by David Fairbank White which has a few paragraphs about HMS Walker the ship my dad served on which went on to the Arctic Convoys until 1945.

My dad was 90 last Sunday and we had a party for him but the highlight of the day was when he was presented with his Arctic Star Medal which I applied for from the MOD.

The big shame about this medal is that it took too long to commission it and thousands of Russian Convoy veterans passed away before they issued it.

Dad is in line to recieve the Ushakov Medal from Russia but it might take months to arrive from Moscow so fingers crossed he survives long enough to receive it.

Have a photo of him at the party with his medal but can't seem to upload it on here, Any tips ?
