For this, also read Status Quo. The most repetitively boring band in history.

Sorry, Quo fans.
Amazing fact!That Rossi guy is appearing at Coronation Hall tonight and there are still tickets available. Pic on Facebook of him outside Coronation Hall today with statues of Laurel And Hardy.

What is worse the lad I played golf with yesterday is going to see him!

Milestone birthday coming up… Mrs said, we should celebrate and get friends over. I m not big into it and I said.. let’s see

Weekend my old school mates called me while they were drinking. In the 10 mins of the call, we planned a lads weekend out around my birthday. It was very simple.

The only fly is that Mrs heard me ‘enthusiastically planning’ the boys trip… I have been getting cold shoulder and not much since the weekend. She has not said a word yet, but I can sense a disturbance in the force.

Why do women have to spoil everything by getting involved. If the boys go, we will just sit in a bar and drink and tell old jokes before we go back, pop some meds and go to bed. And we r fine that way..

Getting train pass for my son.. Drum rolls.

Total distance between stations: 6 miles
Total time between stations: 8-10 mins (fast or slow train)
Cost for 1 month and 8 days AFTER applying 5-15 year Student discount... Drum Roll ... £82....

So with 6 half terms, that is nearly £500 quid just to get to school. Before they talk about school VAT et al.. can someone look at school train costs. And folks cry when people drive kids to school.
(before someone cries about local schooling, there is no quality Secondary school in our area)

You gotta suck it up…they need the sky high fares and the extra VAT to pay the train drivers. 😆

That’s a bit of a hike on a bike in the rain and cold 🌧️

School pupils should not pay for public transport imo.
It would cut car use instantly.
Agreed, free travel for education is a good idea as long as it is a mile or more away.
In Scotland, under 22s can get free bus travel 24/7.
Some say it has caused an increase in anti-social behaviour. I’m one of them!

Plays some calming music, sits comfortably crossing legs and switches on recorder.
