  1. Thanks Dave, so do I now!!! Very well put Graham and I echo your sentiments.... However I now have this song in my head
  2. viewtopic.php?f=93&t=61917&hilit=hurrah
  3. Just read this!!!! Don't worry about us or the meet just worry about yourself, your family and getting well ASAP. All the best mate, the chemo is a git just have to take one day as it comes, I'm sure, like me, everyone else on here wishes you well and a speedy recovery
  4. Seen that before but it's still brilliant!!! or a touched video
  5. That, of course, assumes that there will still be a viable planet in 5 generations time
  6. It's a genuinely good question, so here's my take on being English for what it's worth. Recently I've done a lot of family tree research and it transpires that I am equally of Scottish, Irish, Welsh and English pedigree (in no particular order ) Indeed my great grandfather x 3 was born in Ireland, married an English girl and was decorated for deeds at the battle of Waterloo, this doesn't make me want to be Irish though or indeed in any way jealous of the Irish. My Grandmother was a Scot and I loved her to bits, at the same time I am proud of that connection, however, I was born in England, raised in England and I AM English. I can't tell you that I feel proud to be English because of Winston Churchill or any one other thing, it's just that it's where I'm from and I'm proud of it. Yes we maybe seen as the "Millwall" of the UK, everyone hates us, or at least that's what the other constituent parts of this nation would have us believe but I think in some ways that just makes us even more bloody minded and proud. At the end of the day the UK is a fairly special place to hail from and when push comes to shove, as a combined unit, we are certainly no pushovers. So in summary, like may others, I suspect, I am proud to be British and proud to be English/Welsh/Scottish/Irish. One thing I would add is this, I'm 58 and as a kid/young man I was always proud to be British, now I think more than ever I feel more proud to be English and I think that stems from the overt individuality of the other nations, in some ways I think this pushes us to be more "English" than perhaps we used to be. It would be interesting to know how others feel. Sorry for the ramble but hope it makes some kind of sense.
  7. Joy and cycled 4k to the Boulangerie and back on my Bro in laws bikes!!
  8. It must be the Tramadol So how do a team who never win anything win a hell of a lot?
  9. Luxury, we used to dream of living in a corridor!!! small price to pay for the reward you're all getting
  10. Seems more than a bit coincidental, if it were me I'd take the Bose out again and very carefully check all the connectors and make sure the ribbon cables are fully "home" and havent been folded, crushed or damaged.
  11. Are they all inflated to the same pressure?
