I went to the airstrip. Not such a big deal. I would rather have visited those beaches...

I bought a bottle of Harvey's Bristol Cream recently. I cannot remember how much it cost... It was only about a week ago. ☹️

I have never tried Blatz. But it cannot be as bad as Schlitz. Hopefully that brand is not produced anymore. I remember a TV advert in America, in 1972, with a bunch of lifesavers running down a beach in Australia, all smiling as they carried an esky (icebox) full of Schlitz. That really...

For years. In pubs, navy wet canteens, English style bars in America... I was rubbish at the game but it was fun.

I think Edward Hopper was brilliant. The Automat might be my favourite. I just think that in all his pictures there is a story to be seen. Probably a different story to everyone looking at the particular painting.

They were unbeatable. 'Its good night from me.' 'And its good night from him.'

I like trams. Ours are modern but at least they exist. That selection is superb.

Hacksaw Ridge was a good film. As for Patton, there is a sequel movie following up on his injury and death. I did not think it was anywhere near as good as the first one. But then, I think sequels rarely are.

I don't know about relevant sections but I have no doubt you are right about age discrimination. I was lucky in that I made it to 64 before being made redundant. I feel for others who did not get that far.

'It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.' (Something like that anyway.). Mark Twain. Either way, a good quote, and I try to practice it..

'Somewhere between right and wrong there is a garden. I will meet you there.' Rumi.

I struggle with cell phones. Anything more complicated, forget it. I went on a cruise. There was a thermostat in the cabin. I adjusted it. The cabin became unbearably hot. Luckily my son in law managed to figure out that I was pushing the wrong button...

That is brilliant! I want one!

That makes me think of Wind in the Willows. Mr Toad probably had a teapot like that.

I try. It doesn't work for me. I am tripping over stuff. It is everywhere.
