Wishing everyone a very happy xmas and a healthy new year.

Its got to have something to do with the ever changing climate, we have had no significant rain fall in this part of the world (Cornwall for over 4 weeks now and it looks like there is non forecast for the near future. what sort of effect is it having in your part of the world folks ? but deniers like the buffoon Trump will say there is no such thing as climate change !! I see that Putin has managed to pull the wool over Trump in the farce they called negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.   

hello Martin/Scouse Liverpool supporter. A question from Terry an Arsenal supporter. why is the UK getting a sudden influx of Vietnamese illegal immigrants ? Thats according to the UK Gov spokesman and news out lets. 

Much as I liked and enjoyed VN on our visit dont think I could live there too set in my "british pipe and slippers way" ! Besides living down here in cosy Cornwall suits me. Take care all

Would of course supply beer if only distance would allow ! Lee your explanation about so many views has gone completely over this thick o's head but I do get the jist of it. thanks for all your work on the site, take care and best wishes to you and your family

Have any of you erstwhile chefs purchased an air fryer? Since getting married I have not bothered with cooking only the simple things, relied on my wife, lazy git I know. But buying one it has kindled an interest in cooking as it is so simple to use and does away with all the pots and pans used on a conventional stove/oven. Take care all

Hello Steve, those days of drinking rum are well over cant stand the smell of the stuff. You have a good memory I dont remember meeting you in Catterick, how long did you serve and what did you do in civvy street besides being a brain surgeon. I am still in touch with Martin via email can give you his email add if toy want. Take care good to here from you, Terry

Hello Scouse, I have not had covid so far neither has my wife although many friends and relatives have. We have both had our fourth vaccine and we still wear the dreaded mask when in crowed places, ie supermarkets but notice that fewer and fewer people are. Went up to London (Ealing) for Easter were my daughter now lives and noticed a lot more people wearing masks but most were elderly. My daughter works for a film making company and has traveled to Spain, Portugal, Italy and even Iceland and she says that it is mainly the elderly in these countries that wear masks. So it appears that in Eurpoe at least that governments have relaxed their rules and are learning to live with covid  and treating it like flu. It appears that to keep covid at bay is to get as many of the population vaccinated as possible. The dreaded Spurs did not do Liverpool any favours , drawing  one all. Arsenal play Spurs Thursday night and of course I am hoping for a win so that Arsenal can consolidate 4th place, could even get third !! Stay safe love to Linh, Terry
