Great news Tony! I can relate well as I also have a lesion (or 2) on my kidneys, that are being monitored. At present they are too small to tell if they are "C" or not but I get regular blood tests and have a CAT scan every 4 months or so. As I have already had Bowel Cancer and had a large chunk...
I cannot remember my first paying job, but some of my early (usually part-time or school holiday) jobs included
1. Paper round
2. Working in a Service Station ( cheating a bit here, my parents actually owned it for a time)
3. Chicken Innoculator! YES!!! worked on a chicken farm and regularly...
Russ wasn't/isn't very well know over here so for me he came to the show as a fresh character. When he first appeared I didn't take to him and as mentioned above his spy persona was very over the top, particularly in the beginning. After a few episodes however, once this was toned down a bit I...
Got to say, to me she looks a lot like Barbara Flynn the milk-lady from Open all Hours.
Also recently from After Paradise and also from another GREAT series with James Bolam, The Beiderbecke trilogy!
More and more of the dross appearing. Not sure who else has it but we now even have a "competition" show for LEGO!
AND even worse there is one here about balloons!!! As someone once said "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity!"
I think it is time to Stop the World...I want to get off!!!
Another show, which I had forgotten about, which I find alright is called "Almost Paradise".
This is an American based crime/comedy series so it does occasionally descend into mindless gunfights to soak up time that the writers can't fill with actual story, however it does this far less than...
I watched it. It IS a spin-off from Death in Paradise. D.I.P. WAS a good show however in my opinion the last few series have been below par. They are trying to get too much out of it and as a result the story is being lost. Still a MUCH better show than most of the Krapp that is on these days...
Not sure what is actually in the series. I have only seen a couple of clips. To be strictly honest, although we DID come out to Oz as 10 pound poms
(despite being SCOTTISH not English) we didn't go through the immigration center experience. Dad had a job to go to when we arrived and we...
how does the expression "It's just not cricket" fare now??
Just to be clear I don't give a toss, its just a game between boys with bats and balls, nothing to get excited about!
I think I should have started getting that thermonuclear bunker built before I said the above!! :13: :13: :13: :12:
One of our free to air TV channels occasionally show OLD British TV shows at odd times. Just switched on the TV and started to watch an old Avengers show.
(For the uninitiated NOT the Marvel Avengers) There was Steed and Mrs. Peel and who should pop up but FOGGY!! playing a ceramics creator and...
Maybe we should start our own "care package" business here.:) Mailing stuff to each other! Would be cheaper than getting hard to find items locally!
For me, anyone with LEES (Has to be LEES!) snowballs to give away would be angels in my book! :28:
We get them here in Oz very occasionally (Like...
Thanks all for the comments. Just to be clear, I don't mind paying for the book, or even postage, I just object to what I consider an exorbitant postage cost for such an comparatively small and light item. (NOTE: I know the price of postage has nothing to do with the producers of the book, so no...
