Morning folks. Mdme LG, Mrs 4ma definitely appears to be on the mend. She manage to incinerate the loaf make her own toast and have a wander to the bottom of the garden and back. One has been issued with today's orders, so we are almost back to normal in some respects. Meeting up with junior daughte...

At least it's not's raining this morning -- yet!! Is the UK excluded from the heatwave affecting the rest of Europe 'cos of Brexit? Mrs 4ma fed and watered - she seems to be enjoying this pampering, will have to be careful she doesn't get to accustomed to the lifestyle. Her meds seem to be working, ...

A Geordie thou sayest? Forsooth! In this case, thy sentence will be commuted. Thou art sentenced to watching one edition of 'Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads'. But first, thou must repeat after me: 'I will not watch BBC News.' Can you make that 'Auf Wiedersein, Pet"? Serves two purposes - one's...

Nay, nay, nay Sir, I beg of thee. Anything but Strictly etc. It is not a thing any decent human being would inflict on a fellow human (even us Geordies). I shall repent my sins and do the washing up as penance.

Never mind the doctors strike, NHS services under extreme pressure, the cost of living crisis, the war in Ukraine, heat-waves across the world( except in this country where it's currently blowing a hooley and pissing it down), what's the main item on the BBC 6 o'clock news?? A strike by a bunch of l...

T15, quite. I do wonder about Vine. Whilst purporting to be a friend he demonstrated complete failure of empathy. Jon Sopel otoh was far more understanding. I watched that Victoria Derbyshire on Wednesday's 'Newsnight' and it was very obvious there was no love lost between her and Edwards. Apparent...

Chucking it down here. Been familiarising myself with the intricacies of Mrs 4ma's folding wheelchair so I can avoid getting me fingers trapped.

Mrs 4ma has finally escaped from hosspitul with a bag-full of pills to keep her going. Has been a worrying few days but fingers crossed things are looking up. Have to keep an eye on Mrs 4ma whilst she recovers. Think I know every bump and pothole on the A15 and Lincoln's Eastern By-pass due to the n...

Arrived home tonight after visiting Mrs 4ma in hosspitul to be greeted by the sight and sound of three Merlin-powered mounts from the Supermarine factory passing fairly low over the house heading west. Wonderful sight and sound!!

Spent the day with me feet up in front of the telly, watching the Test at Headingley. An excellent result for England.

I agree with this. I just hope that no one defaces the grave stone.

Our currently serving colleagues did just that when they replaced the original grave stone with one that did not carry Nigger's name. All down to the wokery that infests today's RAF.

Lots of denials, but previous ('guilty') presenters (such as Schoield) have denied their guilt when confronted, so that proves nothing.

I think that's called the Mandy Rice-Davies defence.

Morning folks.

Early morning nursing duties done for Mrs 4ma - pills and a mug of tea. A few outdoor jobs to do before Thor's Hammer arrives (at least that's what the weather guessers are saying).

Wonder who the alleged naughty "BBC star" is - plenty to choose from.

Morning folks.

Pleasant sunny day hereabouts. Mrs 4ma must be improving, she's given me a list of jobs to do.

Hardly sterile conditions for mixing the adhesive then joining the ring and the tube. I think Fred Dibnah would have called it "back street mechanicing" - thing is, Fred knew what he was doing.

Morning folks. Thank you for your kind messages to Mrs 4ma. I've got her back home now and I'm wearing my nurse/cook/bottlewasher/general factotum hat. Now ensuring she takes the mountain of pills she's been given and getting her to the follow-up referrals/appointments, none of which are at our loca...

Did you forget to add the water as well? ;))) Currently in sole charge of Chez 4ma as Mrs 4ma is decamped to the local horsepital whilst the docs try to find what's causing her extreme breathlessness. Took her in on Friday when she had some tests and was given antibiotics and other stuff. Returned y...

I can't view any tweets that are put up on Arrse; Tw@tter want's me to sign up to view them.

The word 'unstable' is going through my mind for some reason...

Probably safer to stand in front of the barrel when the gun is fired.

Absolutely embarrassing for the service of which I was a member from the time I left school until I left at age 55. I served when we had proper leaders, people who we looked up to and respected. In recent years, the service has had individuals (note I didn't say 'leaders') at the top who weren't fit...
