After a 2 hour (which we maybe do twice per year) car journey my wife's hips/knees/ankles seize up. The next day or so she is usually immobile.......so I try to do what is best for her....which sometimes means me missing out on things....but my responsibility is to her. We did camping in our 30s and 40,s, it was a big fuck off 4 birth tent with most of the necessary equipment to make a week away tolerable, then it was a adventure, now it would be a pain in the joints. If (which I very much doubt) i was to go away for a weekend, even without my wife it would be a B&B or something like a Travelodge.....camping?...been there...done it....no longer have the desire to try it again.

When I was at work, if Christmas Day & Boxing Day & New Years Day fell in the working week some of our delivery drivers had to work those days, Hospitals and Old folks home do not close over these days, I was unlucky a few times and had to work.....now life is one long holiday.

Maybe he is busy with a early delivery.

I have had a couple of problems with it......one time is would not accelerate from mid revs, fine pulling from a standstill.......2 sensors replaced and a £350 bill and it was fine......indicator/light stalks aren't very robust, £150 from Dacia....£15 from Flea Bay....guess which I bought Air con has packed up..had it regassed , but it still don't work......it eats front tyres....had it tracked, but still rips the outside edge off the tyres....as said, seats are not very hard wearing, almost through on my seat...but its great on fuel, and it hardly uses any oil from one service to the next.

Well bugg.........whoah stop there!..................... never tried that, and I will be dammed it works!

Oh I know its only a old Clio underneath the skin.........its fine for my motoring needs.

If I had looked for the vid on YouTube then I could have turned on the subtitles...could not be arsed to search for it lol. Subtitles are turned on our TVall the time, but many programmes do not have subtitles.....

Mine has just under 80,000 miles on the dials.....1 sill has a rust hole in it (but passed the MOT) but the remainder of the bodywork is in good order, drivers seat is worse for wear, but I think it has another 5 years in it...

No subtitles.

I'm the 2nd owner of my Dacia.........it is not much to brag about though......Dacia are held in the same esteem as rear engined Skodas.

My cars are only fit for the scrapper after my ownership, I keep cars too long.....but if he bought mine I think this would be the advert for it. Low mileage, 2 careful owners, much sought after model.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like it was produced by the same production company that makes Coronation Street/Emerdale those are dire too........ in my opinion. But i am glad that my wife does not watch any of the soaps.

I have no need of Amazon......we only went down town to collect wife's prescription.

Just been down town, thought we would go early to miss the pre Christmas rush, and....................

We have 100÷ channels of crap, but very few of them have subtitles, so in reality I am stuck with maybe 20 channels...so I watch programmes that have said subtitles.......wife wants to watch VIGIL so i have to watch it too.....we only have the one tv.

Going to watch the last 2 episodes of VIGIL wife enjoys it, I think it's dire.

Our neighbour have a dog they adopted from the Dogs Trust, got it this summer, cost them over £150, if my wife was more mobile it could be considered, but as she is, its a no....Thanks anyway.

Wife walk.....er no......not having another dog, we had a Cairn Terrier, take it for a walk, it would sniff every lampost/gatepost/blade of grass, and piss on each, must have had a bladder like a water bowser It shuffled off while we were on a holiday, upset the wife so much she said no more dogs.....we did have cat after that, but they don't count......it was a anti social twat. My wife I think she does a great job of putting up with me to be honest...... my life could be worse.

Think mine is still considering the murder part, she seemed to be too interested in new kitchen knives a while ago when out shopping....

Have you noticed that some Scottish songs are sung about being hundreds or thousands of miles away from Scotland.......don't they like the place?

Make the most of it Rich......in the blink of a eye you will be here...i am still amazed as to where the last 30 odd years went.

I thought the complete collection of the Encyclopaedia Britannica for @busabeast.......but i thought about and realised he does not need it.... Just jesting Rich

That's about the right size........my old muscles can't manage anything heavier..... Old twat me.

Watched the 1st episode, quite enjoyed it, then it went pay to view......
