    Old and New

    I have really enjoyed reading this story, I am glad that Eric is moving on with his life and learning how to use a computer and also that he will start to get out more. Looking forward to reading more in the next book.

    What an ass Andy’s dad is, why his wife suffers his ignorance, drinking and his attitude is beyond me, she should leave him and take everything she can. Eric’s neighbour reminds me of a woman in a tv show in the late 1970s, called Number 96 it was about the lives of the residents in a block of flats in Paddington, Sydney, Doris was the self appointed concierge of the building and liked to know everything that was going on, her poor hen pecked husband was called Herbert, her favourite saying was Herbert why wasn’t I told? the show was also very risqué it had bed hopping people, you got to see naked women’s breast, a bit of lesbian sex and gay men in bed, with Dudley Butterfield who was a right old movie buff, his line was did you ever see, he rattled off the name of a movie and then started talking about the main stars of the movie. Number 96 gave plenty of teenage boys something to ogle at, and learn a thing or two about sex etc.

    There are so many stories on this website that are not finished, something may or may not have happened to the author but we will probably never know.

    Glad Tidings

    Christmas is so commercialised that it’s not funny, children pester their parents to buy them this and that, people spend to much money on presents and food etc, it’s just not a nice time of the year. It’s supposed celebrating the both of Jesus, but he wasn’t born on December 25th, he was born in April. December 25 was the pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice until the church decided that it was the birth of the son of their god.
  6. Have you been watching Priscilla? With the reference to Bye Felicia
  7. Has Penn really moved on? I doubt it. The pair of them need to sit down together and have a good long talk with each other and see if they can work things out. The whole fiasco should have been sorted out months ago, not let it get to where it is now, they are both stubborn and pigheaded men.
  8. Sometimes it’s just the way that a child is born, 2 of my cousins have dark skin, their dad is Malaysian Chinese, the oldest daughter has 2 boys and they have white skin, the other daughter has 3 kids and her oldest child has a lovely caramel colouring and the other two don’t have the same skin colour. It doesn’t matter to any of us it’s just who they are.
  9. No mess with the accommodation at all, it will be a deliberate move on Ryan’s part to get them to share a room.

    Specsavers are the one of cheapest opticIan’s but their range of frames are limited, Vision Express is currently having a sale on 2nd pair of glasses

    Forgotten?

    We have left the EU and now the government are starting to think that it was a bad idea, the millions that will be spent on acquiring land to park semi-trailers while the drivers have to fill out the mountain of Customs paperwork, Then the truck will need to be inspected etc.

    Making Plans

    When I go to the supermarket I use a handheld scanner, it scans the barcode, keeps a tally of your groceries, then bag the items, go to the self serve scan tills, scan the QR code, pay via Google Pay and then leave the store, it’s quick, efficient and given the current health pandemic I don’t have to interact with people. Although now I am more likely to buy my groceries online.

    I hope that the books are large print so that Eric can read them. I am also one to support small businesses wherever I can, the dry cleaners, barber, local greengrocers, printer, travel agent, loads of other small businesses.

    A Day's Exploring

    This bus looks similar to the ones that they have in Banff, our buses have have a ramp that is used for wheelchair use, the buses in London are mainly Mercedes Benz or Volvo, we do have the Van Hool as seen in the picture some of the tourist buses are Irizar UK

    A Day's Exploring

    Good chapter, I think that the law firm needs to get rid of Sarah as she is too judgemental and not doing a good job of being the Director of First Impressions.

    Tough Love

    Andy came across as a spoilt brat, thanks to Adam for pointing out the obvious.

    Expectations

    Andy and Eric didn’t get off to a good start, I would like to think that they give each other a chance, and I think that Andy needs to ask Eric what he needs help with, even though it’s obvious that he cannot cope on his own, It would seem that Eric has been living a bit like a hermit the last few years as his health has deteriorated. The aged pension in England is very low, so many older folk are living in poverty as there aren’t any real benefits, which it seems is the same in America.

    Vintage Volt on Quest in the UK not sure if it’s shown on cable tv in the states, is a show about a group of grease monkeys converting classic cars to electric, as a petrol head and a Classic car owner and enthusiast they should stay as is, it’s wrong to muck around with them

    There are going to be more cars in the breakers yards as it’s not cost efficient to replace the batteries, converting existing cars to electric is very expensive and also not cost effective, the SL Shop just converted a R107 Mercedes Benz to become the Sportline Zero, which I think they will sell for £100k, it’s a one off conversion and restoration.

    I think that I did say something about that, but I may live in London but I am and always will be an Aussie. The Royal Family children’s names usually are names that have been in the family for years. The current situation with Meghan and Harry is being compared to Wallis Simpson and King Edward all over again due to the fact that they have moved away from the Family Firm

    The reference to no 🔌 ins was made because of the new plugin Jeep, cars are supposed to have a combustion engine, fuelled by something other than diesel or gasoline (petrol) none of this electric rubbish that they want us to buy

    Americans have ruined the English language, aloolminium is aluminium, there is also Bender Bending Rodrigues the Robot from Futurerama he is a Robot bending unit 😂. I was also the person who commented about Gammon being a name of cured meat from a pig's hind legs

    Just one comment no one should have bender as a surname, as it’s used in a derogatory way against gay men

    No to the plug ins 🥵
