...yep, a few Speke lads played in the same Liverpool Schoolboy side I played in. One was the skipper, the other a winger. Good footballers.

My favourite teacher's name was Arthur, not nowadays a common name - see One For Arthur in the paper for the National this morning. Come home from a crap day at work and find I've won 140 quid. Wherever you are - thanks Arthur

As they say, he's with the angels now (or a little lower down), so he won't need it. First time I've ever had a winner, although I only bet once a year. I'll now have to resist having a bet next week, especially if there's a horse with Arthur in its name.

Thinking about this the other day when printing my holiday tickets.
Can you remember the days of sitting in a travel agents booking your fortnight in the sun.
The bit of one upmanship when the girl read out aloud what you had booked. Superior apartment, pool view upper room. The feeling of international jet setter being told your flight time and airport, and of course the destination itself. Olu Deniz, now that sounds special.
But the real sense of occasion was getting the call from the agent to say your tickets had arrived. the whole family trooped down town to their office and if you had spent that bit more, you got a nice blue wallet to keep them in.
Not the same any more is it.

On the plus side mate, your kids are likely grown up, so you don't have to go on holiday in July or August, and you save a fortune by not having to take the sprogs with you as well.
Also, you're not travelling on a plane with someone elses kids behind you with their knees in the back of your seat.
Always look on the bright side of life ...

Every bit of the abovementioned.
I think it's a given that you forget you ever had children of your own. Our kids were never as badly behaved as the little darlings of today, we're they??lol

The modern pronunciation of Nestle. Used to be Nestles, as in vessels. Now it's a fancy dan European utterance : Neslay. I've run out of jelly.
