Join the Army Against Alcohol - February 2017

[Rusty]

Good Morning, Army, and good night to me. It is 12:30 AM and I have just gotten home from Canada. Delayed in Toronto due to snow.��������

I hope you lovely Army folks have a smashing Thursday!

Good morning

Good morning everyone. Posted yesterday but it seems to have disappeared and I can't even blame the phone as I have iPad back. We have had a good few pups over the years, takes time Tabs. Last one we got was a rescue from puppy farm and about 2. She's adorable and goes out most of the time but if she's got to go she just does, you really have to watch her

Late good morning..........I haven't been languishing in bed...........raced out of the house to the bank to pay a tax refund cheque banked. Weird paying money in as our account is always spewing it out.

[JackieClaire]

Had quick peek on Roll Call........ Tony, you got through last night. Well done that man. Think a little :yay: is in order.

Mers, a sports injury, make sure you make the most of it and look tragic if anyone wants anything doing.

Starty, bet you're busting with excitement. I've already started getting some goodies to take on our wee break. Like porridge and honey.

Rystyredlocks hope you got a good bit of a sleep in.

Bet you're dog is happy as Larry being in your company, Russy. The thought of puppy farms makes me angry and sad at the same time.

Reading great book by Liz Nugent (she wrote Unravelling Oliver which was brill) - Lying in Wait. I dont want it to end and Ive just started.

So on that note...

(morning Mario)

Read that Mers - at least I think I did on hols last year
And I can't blame the drink for that either :egad:
Hope the gob is ok today ? You'll look like Mr S 'bet' you up !!

Rustop - MrS took early retirement and does NOTHING !! Odd game of golf that's all.
I know Mick will FREAK OUT :rant: but I think it's such a waste.
Dunno how he can stare down the next 30 years with nothing to do............
He never had to actively look for a job. He was in the same job since he left school.
Even volunteer work - I'll have to find it for him FFS !!

I wouldn't mind but he's the 'yapper' in this house

Hola

[mario]

Dark days here back in Algarve. but no rain.

[techie]

Great to see you as always, Mario. Hello Army, hope all is well in your barracks

[JackieClaire]

Always lovely to see you Techmeister.

Get him an allotment, Satz. All the fresh organic fruit and veg and you'd never see him in the summer. Actually just asked if we should put our names down for one. I may just go and have a google............back from google

Rents are about £50 (58 Euros/ $63) a year for a plot and you can get half a plot to start off for half the price.

Just been given a big reminder about the garden this week.... my "valentine" present was a load of seeds, potting stuff and a plastic DIY greenhouse kit.... mmm

Mr JC would have thought he'd died and gone to Heaven if he got that. He got this book a couple of birthdays ago
Grow All You Can Eat in 3 Square Feet by Chauney Dunford — Reviews, Discussion, Bookclubs, Lists

far we've had spring onions, a few beetroot and a few feeble lettuces.........the spring onions must have cost us about £5 each.....with all the setting it up money.:egad:

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

Owww did someone mention growing veg??

Hiya Techie, great to see you pop by.

[satz123]

Had the allotment Jacks a few years back - he loves muck - the garden etc - but the allotment didn't seem to do it for him.
Same as Mr JC got a few scrawny cabbages ..... eaten by slugs.
The slugs came in force when their friends told them Mr S had put down beer cans in an effort to be organic & humane. They just got pissed and had great craic.

HAHA but they're organic!

Yea, that would wreck my head too Satz.. But.. if hes happy, leave him off and get your self sorted instead. Im always intrigued by the jobs that you just dont hear about. Someone was telling me recently that they used to be an ''expert.. something or other'' in a court of law for drink diving cases. well paid too!
Have you ever signed up to those secret shoppers - supposed to be nice little earner too.
I know someone who works for these guys - they really do have no holiday limit!!

Global wave across Scotland, Uk, Algarve, Canada and techie land!

Good to hear you so well Starty.
