Anyhow is the thought that counts , and I was only trying to save money. Cheers JS
Let us know what day your funeral she has planned for, and we'll fly over and tell her that you didn't really mean it!

So I came up with this, made it myself. After all 40+years as an engineer surely this will please my Karen.
Attachment 31307 I was doing a wee bit of snooping around to see what might be in store for me. I did spy a nice bottle of Black Bush whiskey that I am sure will have my name on it by Christmas day.
Lewis, that will be in all the shops by next Christmas, mark my words!

Re: Lock down and Christmas shopping
Ref #6 and my silken underwear fetish. I was right it is now 0700 and Santa has been and trying on . All is forgiven and some old people do listen. You in uk will be just about Xmas day now , so you will still be waiting for your undies. Merry Xmas to all and gird up your loins for today’s celebrations which of. course will be continued next week. Especially north of the border .cheers JS
