Awww that's lovely Unk... Buying the 2 crates of Strongbow on the off chance I might stop by to join you all in a Christmas drink. Lol. I've hidden 4 of the kegs and a crate of Bow in the shed Wav - so the Dragon thinks I've only got one of each. My plan is to swap the kegs when they're empty so she thinks I'm still drinking the same one. That way she'll praise me and see me in a good light. "Fair play" ... she'll say, ... "You're making that keg last and drinking sensibly.""I'm proud of you." You make me laugh so hard Unk that my sides ache...honest t`gawd. Now I`m putting my serious hat on. I know you`re busy this time of year Unk, but I want you to find this baztid, and give him a massive thrashing from me. Scum like this don`t deserve to walk this earth www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/15788947.Woman_in_her_eighties_left__shaken__after_family_Christmas_presents_stolen/I`m tamping aye, I`m really tamping

I want you to give to that scum what Joan did with the wire hangers to her her daughter Christine. See what I did there, now I`m back on topic - and won`t be raked over the coals by admin

There's some scumbags about Wav. That poor lady.
I insisted an elderly lady go in front of me in the post office queue this morning; I can stand here easier than you can my lovely, I said.
She told Pam behind the counter that I was a gentleman and that there aren't many of me around any more.
Pam was laughing afterwards when I told her she had summed me up perfectly.

I was at our Post Office yesterday Unk. I was sending our oldest son and Daughter in law a Christmas package. I know it probably won`t get there til Boxing Day though. My own fault for not going a day or two sooner. Our local post office was empty yesterday. There were just people collecting their mail in the lobby. The woman behind the counter was a miserable cow who made it seem she was doing me a massive favour by serving me.

Well, I say girls, they're grandmothers and considerably older than me. I always chat them up though, and tell them they're looking particularly lovely today. If I was ten years older, etc etc, they could jolly well look out. Last week Vera said my eyes looked bloodshot. Yeah, I said, I was totally wrecked last night lovely, I honestly thought I was going to wake up dead. Which seemed to tickle them given the raucous laughter that followed. Good manners go a long way in my experience Wav. I sent my old mam a large box about ten days ago, full of her usual Christmas goodies & pressies. Despite the massive line behind me, Pam took ages trying to find me a discount I didn't even ask for. Ended up costing me four quid less than the Royal Mail website had told me before I left home. And she got it the very next day, despite it being Parcel Force 48 (hours). Where does your oldest lad live? (I'm aware that America is incredibly vast, the state next door to you can be like a three-day drive)

Most of the women in the PO here are lovely, but that one woman spoilt it for the rest. Maybe she was just having an off day. Wish we had a Pam and Vera in our Post Office. My oldest son lives in Louisville, Kentucky Unk. It`s about a 2 hour drive to the Kentucky border, and another 2 hours to get to Louisville. I`ll check the tracking number on my sons parcel in the morning. Hopefully it made it to Kentucky at least. I just hope it hasn`t got lost. There`s a preloaded Visa card that I included in the Christmas card.

My old Mam lives in Birmingham, which is full of scumbags, yet is only 90 mins for me in the car whenever anybody upsets her. A woman assaulted her at the bingo a few months back. Really upset her it did, as she's nothing like me, a nice lady all of the time. So I phoned up the bingo and asked to speak to the manager, then explained who I was and asked him what he was going to do about it. He was extremely uncooperative and put the phone down on me, so I drove straight up there to chin him. He has a duty of care to look after his patrons, and I told him I could either go over him to his head office or kick his head in. His choice. He then chose to ban the troublemaker. Cost me forty notes in petrol, and I'll never see that again.

I would`ve called the Birmingham scuffers and got the old hag charged with assault. And I would`ve got that bingo manager fired for not installing a duty of care towards his patrons. 40 quid well spent in my opinion Unk. At least it gave your Mother some piece of mind.

It`s excellent Unk. If you like nostalgic Hollywood shows/films like Mad Men...you will really love this. The writing is excellent, and the costume department did a superb job of making the 60`s come alive again. As you know I`m not one for American telly. In fact the last American series I watched and loved was Mad Men. And it`s been quite a few years since that was shown on the A&E channel here. About 5 years ago I think. Another costume drama I liked was Boardwalk Empire...although it was just a bit too violent for my liking. Go on Unk, give one episode a go - see if you like it. You can watch it on iPlayer while you wrap your little Princess Tilly`s many Christmas gifts. Although I have no room to talk. I`ve got 2 bags chock a block full of cat and dog treats for my pets this Christmas....and my neighbours pets too. I went a bit over enthusiastic over at the Dollar Tree this year. In fact they had more animal treats on their shelves at the DOllar Treethan Walmart and Big Lots combined. Whey-hey! I'm a bit insulted at the 'Big' but it's still nice that they've named a store after me *beams* (I fully concur with this post too and think Wend has done a great job of describing it). Cheers Wav, I'll give it a whirl then. Yeah I've spent a fortune on the rogger, as per, and they're all wrapped up for her to open. I also bought a stocking each for all of my chums roggies too (six of them) and filled them with treats. I don't even send any bugger a card, but always buy tons of treats for their roys. I've been shopping this morning too. I bought myself 3 kegs of Old Speckled Hen Ale, 3 kegs of Adnams Ghost Ship Pale Ale, 2 crates of Strongbow, 1 crate of lager, a bottle of Cockburns Port, 2 bottles of Bristol Sherry, a bottle of Brandy, a bottle of Vodka, 6 bottles of White Wine, and 3 boxes of crisps.For the Dragon I bought 20 tins of Diet Coke and a bottle of Baileys. Which was thoughtful of me. *claps and rubs hands* Right that's tonight sorted - what about the rest of the holidays?

Thanks girls. He called my mam into a room and more or less told her that the woman spent more money there. My mam's hubby is a nice bloke, but is a 16-stone waste of space, he couldn't belt a hole through a wet Echo.
She usually doesn't tell me stuff like this, because she knows what I'm like, but was really upset.

Older folk just want to shy clear of any trouble I think and you can understand that to a certain extent. I hope I can still pack a bunch when I'm their age, if I live that long anyway.

Back on topic, I've watched 3 episodes of this and I'm not sure that I'm going to watch the rest. I love the era and the cars are to die for but drama wise it's not getting there for me.

I`m up to episode 4 now wallis, but am still incredibly busy to watch anymore. For some reason, when this first started I thought that Bette and Joan was a one off, and there was a different feud every week with other famous tv/movie stars. That would be a great concept if it ever happened.

Big Lots is one of my fave stores here Lottz www.biglots.com/The UK has something similar. There was one opened up in Newport recently - but I can`t for the life of me remember the name of it.

You are all loving this. Am I missing something? I am rather bored with it.
