Agnetha form Abba is on BBC1 ,she is making a comeback.
Not down here it ain't. 
Check your Beeb regional variations on your doodah 
Ooo! Ta donks! I can catch the BBC Scotland channel for the last half-hour.
Oh god I couldn't have coped with fracture clinics after everything else. But for safety reasons this is why we flop on to the bed when we emulate the 'fall'. Honestly Soozy, you need to show your son and give it a go, it's hilarious.
Again I wish Trollop and Gypsy were still here to tell you about a night out in Newcastle we all had when a woman fell over like a skittle trying to run across the road. We all played the same thing in my bedroom the next day. 
Maybe you had to be there. 
Wtf does a skittle trying to run across the road look like?
Which one is it Carport?
You'll get a job in Australia.
My O-Levels were similarly scored on a numerical basis. So re-assuring that Mr Michael Gove will return the education system back to the basics that we enjoyed. 
Why? 
Wasn't being sarcy.
Upside down
Noite troops

I thought that was funny. Seeing as I've got a brother and his family nationalised there now. 
Really?! Wow! You must tell more about this if Mrs Jer wants to tell.
My brother, on the other hand, suffers from the terrible problems of having a large house in Melbourne and a beach house = 6 bed with pool on the coast and is now building a new house back in Melbourne whilst maintaining his daughters at the most prestigious public schools in Victoria. 
He's really become a relative I'd rather not have. 
So for ages now Mr Cinds and I have been cracked up at this injury claim advert, to the point if it comes on when we're in the bedroom, we get out of bed and see who can copy 'the fall' best. It's very regional (well the solicitors are from my area).
Thats the best comedy fall ever the look on her face
Saz we spend far too much time rewinding that Ad to watch & laugh again. Not too mention the childishness of two mid 40's adults copying the falling style on to the bed.

No no, the woman was trying to run across the road and fell over like a skittle. Bad wording on my part.
She ran past us as we were crossing the road, but her top half was going faster than her legs could carry her and she fell over, what made the fall skittle like is that she didn't put her hands out to save herself BECAUSE she would have dropped her kebab.
I, being the kind soul that I am, bent down to help her up, BUT in my few drinks down the hatch state decided as I bent that it would be funnier to just grab her kebab and run off. Which I did, only to realise I had also grabbed her handbag so I had to run back and return her things.
Irrelevant to the story, but it makes me laugh more when I think about this story, she was dressed like a rather large round Pacer. For the younger ones amongst us, a Pacer was a rather pleasant minty chewy sweet from the 70's.
Talking of sweets from the 70's. Can anyone remember there was this sweet that resembled chewing tobacco to look at? Don't ask me why but it popped in to my head this morning and I was trying to describe it to Mr C but he remained clueless.

Do you mean this stuff, Cinds? If so, I remember it.
YES!!!! Thanks Yogi.

We had a sweet shop round the corner (one if three close to home) we avoided it because the owner Mrs Milstead was a really nasty old lady. It was the only one of the three that was open on Sunday afternoon - my mum gave me 10 shillings one Sunday to get her some American Tan tights. Mrs Milstead gave me change for a pound .....................I told her immediately and she let me choose anything I wanted (I think there were limits ) - I chose a packet of Spanish Gold.
Thought I'd share that little bit of nostalgia with you.
Re the skittle lady - I immediately had a vision of Mrs Skittle in Noddy - she's featired in this pic!
Pacers? Pah...new fangled names... they were Opal Mints!

Tasted like MoJo's but MoJo's were smaller and cheaper. Mrs Milstead used to sell them but we usually got ours from Mrs Martin or Mrs Howlett.
Apologies .....I'm rapidly disappearing down memory lane here.
and a lovely lane it is too.... what about Fruit Salads and Black Jacks 2 for ha'penny!

I bought some Black Jacks a few years ago foe Trick or Treaters - they were that hard I broke a tooth
I did love Black Jacks though - they were always in the 'Penny Box' - along with the sweet shrimps, bananas, bazookas and that really horrible pink sheet of bubble gum that came with a packet of collectors cards - it was disgusting. Jamboree/Lucky bags were a treat weren't they?
I couldn't believe the price of ice creams in our local shop, this bloke was arguing with the shop keeper that he had over priced him, he had a magnum and a cornetto and he only had a few pence change from a fiver so while I was waiting I was looking at the prices and a mini milk was 55p, I said to lil Aims they were 10p when I was little and she said just shows how old you are

I dropped my sister off at the airport this morning at 7.30 to catch her 9.40 flight to Barcelona. She text me at 10 to say they were on the plane but weren't expecting to take off until 2 pm
Then she text me again to say they had off loaded them and she was back in departure with next expected departure time of 17.15.

Jen, do you have an update on Baby Archie?
He had to have a little operation on his heart on Monday Yogi (its common apparently) and it was successful. He's on Morphine as a result and steroids because has a collapsed lung. He has had a bad couple of days tbh. But I've just spoken to my brother and today is a good day and last night was a good night. I just told him it's going to be an up and down few months for them all
