What were you doing June 2nd, 1952?

[Rodney Mills]

Bloody colonials

Septic? Any relationship to septic tanks?

Your post. Appropro. shipmate. June 18, 2012. 200th anniversary of the war of 1812, declared a tie...Best out of three? A very famous Englishman once said...clue. He loved cuban cigars and brandy in bed...oh! his mother was an American...' When loyal British colonialists fight a German King and his Hessian army...the British always beat the bosch!'


Cheers, Rodney ( nah, nah, nah, nah, nahhhhna!)

my brother, who was a technical wizard, sent away for the parts and built us a tv in 1949/50. It was only a tube about 14" with no trimmings (box) and the colour was black and green. But what a treat, we were the first family in Ryde to own one, everyone came to visit to watch. I watched Muffin the Mule and joined the Ovaltinies club. I was very popular at school lol. Nowdays I have widescreen HD, cant compare haha.

Of course as we now know Muffin the Mule was not a sex offence, and the Ovaltinies were quite normal kids, or so I am told!

I was camping,(no not that way) with the Boy Scouts near Guildford in Surrey. Aged 13, & 6 months & 2 days. I remember it because it was bloody miserable learning to make a damper and light a fire with wet wood.No we did not rub two boy scouts together; that came later when we rubbed two boy ratings together to see if they could actually work. We went to church parade at the then new Guildford Cathedral.
I believe the commemorative coin was accompanied by a book illustrated in such a way as to show "who was who" in the parade of royal "hangers on" that accompanied Her Majesty.
Meanwhile in beautiful down town Mitcham the sneaky sod who filled in to deliver my papers in the morning and help the corner grocer with my after school job tried to undermine my excellence at the aforesaid and pinch my job. I recall that on my return the Downham brothers and yours truly "had a word", which put everything back on even keel. Cheers to one and all Neil.

I spent a couple of years working in Guildford in the later 60's in the theatre and a pub there. Guildford had at that time the dubious distinction of being a refuge for those fleeing the law.

Slightly off thread, in the later 60`s i frequented ALL of the pubs in Guildford, as i lived in Bramley, so you probably served me many times!!! KT
