Must have been something in the water , as last week I suffered a communication breakdown on my phone line and at one time, after the engineer had called, I found that I had a different telphone number! ??? By the weekend it all seemed to be back to normal except I have lost connection with my printer, although the scanning side is still operational!
However, good to be back with my RC friends again- thanks to LM who gave me the tip yesterday ;).

This may not be the correct place for this one.
I have a lot of old copies of sheet music dating mainly 40's and 50's but some quite a bit older. I will never get to play them or even attempt to play them. What is the best way of disposal, other than into the shredder?

So what shall I watch tonight on the telly tonight?. Not an awful lot of interesting looking stuff- same old,same old!
But wait, almost in desperation I tuned in to BBC4. Even older, , but what a lovely change, going back goodness knows how many years, probably to the 1970s.
I spent the next hour with Call my Bluff and Face the Music
So relaxed and full of good clean old fashioned fun, bringing back long forgotten enjoyment and so easy to listen to, and the clear diction without wondering what on earth they were saying.

Apropos nothing at all really, but just recalling my late father-in-law who was always coming out with odd expressions, can anyone tell me where this one comes from?

"You are a gentleman and a scholar and a fine judge of whiskey and women and there are darned few of us left now......."   , when giving praise, appreciation or thanks to someone.

He used Worthington E, his favourite tipple rather than whiskey.

I spend quite a bit of time these days, due to my current limited mobility, watching the computer screen and particularly bouts of Fakebook and particularly those commentaries on current affairs in America.

I have noticed an expression which seems to be in common use in the USofA but which I had not come across before.

As a preface to a statement ".............now here's the thing.....blah-di-blah-di blah..........."

Am I alone in not having been faced with this phenomenon before or should I get out a little more?

Hospital visit yesterday to see the surgeon about my pending hip job. Lovely chap, he did my left knee replacement back in 2011. All the pre op assessments seem to be ok,. within the limits of my medical history and it looks as though I might be getting close to the top of the list.
Fingers crossed.
Appointment on time and all over within half an hour including some more xrays.
Well done NHS.
