I h...Sorry I forgot Forest (I didn't think i had). I have a friend who used to work at Rolls Royce and had a running bet on results (for Forest, against Derby)with several of his colleagues. He showed a steady profit and left at the right time.<BR/><BR/>Helo Rob<BR/><BR/>Good to have you back.<BR/><BR/>I like the joke but(for info)architects do not work wih blueprints. To, my knowledge only Naval architects do. Architects use dyeline prints (or did) which are black on white.<BR/><BR/>I always think a boat is a little ship?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-19096404631294180992008-05-06T15:38:00.000+01:002008-05-06T15:38:00.000+01:00We returned from our sojourn to Tansley last night...We returned from our sojourn to Tansley last night and a good time was had by all. The dogs loved it as the caravan site had a wooded dog walking area where we could let them off the leads. They like woodland anyway and, especially, enjoyed the scent of rabbits in the undergrowth of rhodedendron bushes.<BR/><BR/>ChairmanReg will be delighted to know that I did, indeed, stay out of Lumsdale mainly because of having no idea where Lumsdale is. Now, however, I do know and we have taken out a seasonal rental on the site so we will be up there most weekends. Consequently, I may venture into Lumsdale in the future unless somebody makes it worth my while not to.......<BR/><BR/>What, no congrats from the Sports Desk to Forest on achieving promotion? Local derbies against Derby next season; get your shop windows boarded up ready. A miserable end to a miserable season for the Stags.<BR/><BR/>Fancy an architect not liking blue prints.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to hear, Jill, that the cruise did not live up to expectations. The shore trips sound good but, I guess, with so much time spent on board the ship/boat needs to be how you want it.<BR/><BR/>What exactly is the difference between a ship and a boat? I know there is one but can never remember what it is. I suppose I could have a nifty google and find out.<BR/><BR/>I, too, was unimpressed with the dawn chorus which woke me up very early on Saturday morning. However, if I had woken up before it started I think I would have enjoyed it.<BR/><BR/>RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-76900200520513900772008-05-06T09:13:00.000+01:002008-05-06T09:13:00.000+01:00I think ‘profiteroles & cream’ could well be tauto...I think ‘profiteroles & cream’ could well be tautologous. Do not profiteroles necessarily contain and include cream? <BR/><BR/>Only 61F? Sandra was complaining about the heat.<BR/><BR/>Very pretty tree. What sort?<BR/><BR/>I woke this morning at just after four and had my bedroom windows open. I stayed awake for the dawn chorus but was unimpressed. I much prefer my solitary blackbird singing though the day.<BR/><BR/>Quite right about the Olympics etc. <BR/>1946 was OK and led to the erection of some useful sports buildings. But things have gone completely out of control since then. When you add the fact that more and more athletes (esp Americans) are being investigated and found guilty of drug taking, it all seems a waste of time and money. Where is the glory of being awarded a gold medal stripped from someone else20 years after the event?<BR/><BR/>I have not heard before of ‘3 floors of modern steel/glass plonked on top of old ornate stone buildings’. It sounds interesting but I hope they check the foundations!<BR/><BR/>Re ‘Welbeck and the 5th Duke’, I suggest reading ‘The Underground Man’, a fictional account of his life based upon fact. It was about the only book upon which the reading group to which I belong agreed. Very good indeed.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Albert Einstein has a point.<BR/><BR/>Apparently we are to have a caravan on the drive to provide Jessica with somewhere private to entertain her friends. Gets them out of the house I suppose (not that she is in any way a nuisance).<BR/><BR/>Last comment on marriage.<BR/>“You have two choices in life: you can stay single and be miserable, or get married and wish you were dead.” <BR/>Anon (I’ll bet he didn’t dare claim authority!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
