The BIG trouble with dogs is they're bloody heart breakers. They go and die on you far too soon!

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.

This Week's Meaningless Topic (#129)(Feb 24)
John York replied to Rodger Pettichord's topic in The Neil Hill Memorial Lounge
A part of my brain that would allow me to reply to a message from British Gas! -
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?!

I suppose mine would have to be; 'Itchy' or 'Scratch'. Take your choice! -

Any day but just keep it coming! -
I am not simming as much as I did in earlier years.
John York replied to Ken Terry's topic in General Discussion
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! -

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! -

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. -
Watched the fabulous firework display put on by Sydney last night. Absolutely brilliant.

Happy new year to you both Iain. What a wonderful display the Australians put on. I knew they were good for something!

Wishing everyone a happy and successful year

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. -
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!
