It is with mixed feelings that I announce I will no longer be contributing to these boards. I feel that no one is taking much notice of what I say; I'm like a voice crying in the wilderness. So I'll just bid farewell, and leave you all to the self-hating politically correct indoctrinations of Rennap...

I was in a supermarket on Thursday when the two minutes silence came, and everyone observed it.

Memor: You write: "I always remember at the Chi the conductor having to get off the bus and using long bamboo pole with hook on end change points so trolley bus could go up Stanhope road. I think there was story in paper when it raining one being electrocuted. I think he was a bad conductor." Well,...

Curly: "Seems a rather drastic remedy for a small fire Len"

Elaine H: "As long as he is British, I really don't care. Nothing worse than having an American actor try to do the stiff upper lip British accent! LOL"

Wasn't Bond in fact Scottish?

A bit of bad news today. My application for a shotgun permit was turned down. Was it wise of me to put on the line where it asks, Reason for wishing to own a shotgun? : "To shoot carol singers"?

The way global warming is going, Santa will soon start arriving on a surf board, and wearing sunglasses and skin protection cream.

I'm surprised we're still allowed to talk about Christmas. I thought they'd have ordered us to talk about something like Winterval instead, as in the Charles D. classic A Winterval Carol.

Did you know that when the Titanic set off there was a fire burning in one of the coal bunkers?

All bloody humbug, the lot of it.

Whoops. my mistake. Ok, Cherry, I still want to know how these kidnappers plan to bring about a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-religion Iraq, where all faiths have equal status and can practice freely.

Some thoughts on above: 2. If Hitch didn't have a belly button, how was he fed in the womb?! 6. I thought it was closer to 10 per cent. Or perhaps more accurate counting now has been done. 10. Isn't it stupid we call it a toothbrush. As it brushes all the teeth, should't it really be a teethbrush? 1...

Sit indoors cursing bloody Christmas. What a hypocritical time of year it is, everyone being nice for one day when for the other 364 they're plotting how to sink a dagger in your back.

HUMBUG!!

Rennaps: Repeat: I still want to know how these kidnappers plan to bring about a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-religion Iraq, where all faiths have equal status and can practice freely. It's a sensible question. And they do want a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-religion Iraq, where all f...

Ah yes, a visit by Miss Enza.

I opened the window - and in flew Enza!!!!

(Falls over scarcely able to move for laughter)

I still want to know how these kidnappers plan to bring about a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-religion Iraq, where all faiths have equal status and can practice freely. Do they intend to get the Americans out first, then introduce a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-religion Iraq, where all ...

The original Bilko with phil Silvers was also terrific. You can catch re runs on BBC2 now.

Do you know what I saw in a supermarket the other day? A steak and Newcastle brown ale pie. AAgghh....

Girls, girls....

Rennaps:
