Go for it.   It might do you both good.  


(Good to see you back, Vladkins. ) 

Quote from: Raven on January 09, 2026, 11:50:47 AMAs I said a few posts ago, I like the way he is all for his country But, he worries me I don't trust him an inch, he seems to believe he's entitled to take and do whatever he wants, and that IMO is bad.

I agree.

Not enough to stop me walking around the house but on a longer outside walk uncomfortable and makes be walk with a limp (careful phrasing before you jump on it). I expected it to get better quickly just with resting it but it has hung around a while. It was my birthday just before Christmas so I'm now a year older, I expect that's it.

I think a Parrot might help, a man about town like your good self can't go far wrong with a parrot.

I'm fed up. Recovered so well from my bionic knee, I've been walking every day, no sticks for ages!  The physio was well pleased on Tuesday, went to the pool for a class on Wednesday, then came down with a stinking cold yesterday.

Thinking of you.  😢

You have done something to your leg? Varnished it? 
Hopefully the guvvermunt will U-turn on business rates so we can get some loose change in order to employ some staff. It's becoming like a geriatric ward ...

It's a very nice sign, it was the first thing I noticed other than the over flowing toilets. 

All hail the mighty conker.

I trust all is in order in the House of Vlad

Good to see you back - I had to put up an Open sign because everybody seemed to think the place had shut for Christmas. I don't think I tightened all the screws up but I'm buggered if I'm getting the ladder out again.
