Arthur Conan Doyle lived at a place called Bignal Wood, just a short distance from me. The New Forest may not have the beauty of places like the lake District, The peak District but I would not want to live anywhere else.
There's no way I can compete with 'a million years ago' but it was about 40-45 years' ago that I first started getting to know that area. Many of the names you mention are familiar to me. You will no doubt know Downton, Hordle, Hurst, Ferndown, Christchurch, Mudeford and Boscombe? All places I used to frequent for one reason or another. I tried to move to that area but house prices were just out of my reach so that never materialised. That would have been a nice area in which to live, maybe not like the Lake District for scenery but just as good in a different kind of way. One of my two regrets in life not moving there but I cannot complain really with what I have now.

Re: What's your Boredom level Today?

There was a message in The Chaser today from Her Majesty the Queen.

Her message to Britain was simple and to the point.



The Queen has released a heartfelt message, calling on all Britons to “stay the **** away from oneself.”

Speaking from isolation in Windsor Castle, the 94-year old monarch thanked the frontline health workers for coming nowhere near her, and talked of the enormous financial difficulties that she herself would not be facing. “We’re all in this challenging time together. Except for oneself. One will be fine. As long as you all just back the **** off.”

She spoke of the shock the lockdown has had on many people. “For many, sitting around not doing anything all day will come as a profound shock. Personally, one has been doing it one’s whole life.”

She said that while protecting essential workers was important, protecting inessential workers, such as herself, was the priority.

I agree with that too. Ted, bad taste. Not a nice post to put on here. I didn't think most Australian's feel the same way we do about our Royal Family.

Why are you disappointed? she's the Queen of Australia. Are you saying we can't talk about our Queen in an international forum? How dare you.

Yes, you can in a respectful way. No you can't, in that disrespectful way & it's bad taste to talk about our beloved & very old Queen in that way.

I'm not, I'm encouraged to see that the truth about the bunch of useless worthles parasites is becoming increasingly recognised and thebillions along with the "Royal" estates that were STOLEN from the British people were returned.

They've got away with it for FAR too long.

I stand corrected

Camilla - it's his day ORF)
