Excellarrat, a wonderful "Hello" from Manchester, UK! Today (Sunday) we have had sunshine, blue skies albeit a little colder than expected with a good breeze.
After deliberating for a few weeks I finally decided to join this site, so far so good. How is it you have found yourself here?
Was in the restaurant business..
Do you get my messages right away, or there is a lag. Here your message doesn’t show until I log out and log back in again.
“ “Doctor: I have good news and bad news."
"Patient: 'OK, first, what's the good news?'
Doctor: 'You have 24 hours to live.'
Patient: 'Oh god, just 24 hours to live, that is good news? I can't imagine what the bad news is going to be.'
Yes the tourists drive me crazy, actually the natives drive me crazy.
Tourist from all the world I love. We get quite a few here, from your neck of the woods.
I lived a few years in usa, but I missed the family, so I am spending a few years here.
You only knit socks?
Were you married? Kids.? In anything too personal you are free to not answer, just my curiosity.
I have two boys in usa, 40 and 32.
Divorced 9 years now. And yes I am taking it easy now, sometimes I miss the speed and action.
Yeah I guess that’s cold during the day, here it’s 20.at night down to about 12.
Ok let guess the Best Patisier? No! I think that’s French.
I live in rather touristic small town, so I like my walks on the beach. Have you been to Tunis before?
And No not looking for 90 day wedding..lol
I keep busy, I travel a lot around this little country, want to see it all.
With my tablet I kill a few hours a day, Reddit takes most of it.
How about you?
Hello there, nice surprise here too. My first time here and very confusing,but glad to find your response. Guess they wanta keep us young and challenged.
It’s nice and sunny here in Tunis, feels like spring.
Yes I listen to Boom Radio, really great music from "our" days. I have a DAB radio and discovered the station by accident, absolutely love it.
I heard this and can't stop playing it. "Rockin' Good Way." Bonnie Tyler and Shakin' Stevens.
Hi Seraphim,
Have you looked at your local u3a website? They generally have loads of "interest" groups ranging from book groups, holiday, gardening, wine-tasting, walking, singing for fun etc. I joined my local group about 12 years ago and there's always something to join in with if the fancy takes you. This week I have attended the Singing for Fun session and tomorrow will be going to a near-by garden centre withe the Gardening group for a demonstration of the best plants to fill hanging-baskets and tubs. Good luck!
Just to be clear by not increasing the tax fresh hold if you have a small private pension along with the triple lock increase many will now have to pay income tax.
So give with one hand take away with the other.
Never ceases to amaze me the amount of contempt the privileged in society treat ordinary people with, even more amazing we let them do it.
The prince Andrew interview on T.V shows the utter contempt they have for our intelligence, Andrew actually believed that we would accept that nonsense as truth.
The water companies get fined for dumping pollution in our rivers then increase charges to the public to pay the fines, tax by the back door, meanwhile the bosses and the shareholders get a nice pay increase all on the tax payer.
Taxes will increase to repair the intentional damage done to the NHS in order to drive people into money making private medicine, if you cant get insurance you can go and die, they don't care, its all about profits, what a terrible me, me, me society we are leaving for the next generation.
To summarise the last 14 years of a Tory government have left in tatters.
G.P services.
Hospital Doctors.
Hospitals.
Dental services.
Ambulances.
Social care.
Road infrastructure.
Police force.
Railway.
School teachers.
Schools.
Housing.
Most of the above you can have if you can afford to pay for them privately, otherwise tough.
With the recent freezing of the tax fresh hold more pensioners will have to pay tax on private pensions.
I have always voted Tory but never again, I am no fan of Starmer so will probably vote for the Reform party, people might think it is a wasted vote but if we don't begin to change things they will stay as they are.
One thing I am certain of is we cant stand for the Tory greed and grab attitude any more when parents have to choose between heating or food for their kids, what a disgusting country the U.K. has become look around we are now a third rate country.
