  1. Too much, then I got fed up with it and gave it all away, bought myself a laptop and frankly,have never missed it!
  2. Yes. THANKS FOR THAT DON> CHEERED ME UP NO END!!!!
  3. Alright, I'll admit it. Will someone please tell me what a 'smart 'phone' is and what you do with them?
  4. The BIG trouble with dogs is they're bloody heart breakers. They go and die on you far too soon!
  5. I'm now 90 years of age and most of the time I still don't know what the hell I'm doing. Nevertheless, its better than the alternative...I suppose?! I've just found this space again after a long absence. Nice to see most of all you old guys are still around.
  6. I used to paint in oils but my wife complained about the smell so I have written and published 6 books instead. Now out of ideas except to irritate Rodger with my correspondence!
  7. A part of my brain that would allow me to reply to a message from British Gas!
  8. I stopped flying some years ago now. Gave all my equipment away along with my powerful computer and bought myself a laptop. Can't say I've missed it that much. I did write and publish some stories which are available on Amazon. Now, at 90 in March I enjoy reading my Kindle, writing rubbish to Rodger and going to the golf club weekly. Luckily my half Chinese wife keeps me well fed. Can't ask for more can you?!
  9. I suppose mine would have to be; 'Itchy' or 'Scratch'. Take your choice!
  10. I lost interest in flying a few of years ago now and gave everything away, even the computer. I now have a laptop and haven't missed flying a bit. I think it was a wonderful hobby while its lasted but I've always been a reader so now I spend my time reading on my Kindle Paperwhite and annoying Rodger by correspondence!
  11. I was very destructive. I made simple balsa aeroplanes powered by rubber bands. They flew quite well but didn't take much to get shot down full of holes from using my airgun!
  12. I'm retired from flying (and, if truth be known, most of everything else!) but I used to prefer flying in and around the UK to see scenery and towns from the air that I could relate to.
  13. Watched the fabulous firework display put on by Sydney last night. Absolutely brilliant.
  14. Happy new year to you both Iain. What a wonderful display the Australians put on. I knew they were good for something!
  15. Wishing everyone a happy and successful year
  16. I'm 89 years old so the best present is I'm still here! When I was a boy during the 2nd.world war my best present was the 'Boys Annual' which was full of short stories.
  17. Don't know why but when the pool hall arrived in Britain my parent's thought they were dens of iniquity. I only went into our local one a couple of times. There was no need. I was a member of the YMCA and in our building we had a huge room equipped with upwards of a dozen tables. Strange thing happened. I was the year's club table tennis champion and qualified to play in the all England finals in another area of London. I travelled there and promptly got beaten but one of the organisers asked me to play snooker (Pool to you fellers) against a fellow who's opponent hadn't shown up. It was a sheer fluke but beat him and won a medal! I wasn't the most popular fellow in the place!
