Lovely post Jem.I like Norman Wisdom, and I have actually seen him in Portsmouth, some years ago now.
The words 'Oh to be in England, now that Spring is here' seem odd today, we have a thick blanket of snow.
I too miss Spitty. Like the quip.

I'm still here, but límiting myself to reading only for the moment. Too much testosterone about.I am having a delayed mid-life crisis. I toyed with the idea of going through it back in my 40's, but in the event, I couldn't be arsed.
However, now I thought "Why Not?"

Try Tobelerone much safer than testosterone.

How ya doon RJ. I was robbed of me mid life crisis, I was all ready and waiting for it but it never happened, are they given out automatically or does one have to fill in a form and send it in somewhere?
Yes the lads did well Gummy, nice of you to offer congrats. As you know I could never make head nor tail of the rugby or the cricket, but millions enjoy it and good luck to them, horse racing is my only sporting tipple, and we did well at Cheltenham this time round.
There was an old rhyme with Japan somewhere in it when we were in school, the school teacher asks a little girl what she wants to do when she grows up. I’ll try to remember it correctly, so long ago now.
“My name is Sadie
When I grow up I’ll be a Lady
Then I’ll get married and have a baby”
Then she asks the little boy next to her what he wants to do.
“My name is Dan
I’ll sail to China and Japan
And if Sadie wants her baby, tell her I’m her man”
Ah life was so straight forward and simple back then, today they probably would have parted after having an identity crisis and Sadie would become Dan and Dan Sadie in an effort to reinvent themselves, people really do go out of their way to complicate things these days. (sings bar of “Give me the simple life” to himself as he dons his coat to head for the pub)
