General Discussion / Back to work we go!
« Last post by Sorastro on September 18, 2024, 10:47:55 AM »Yet another thing that's brought a wry smile to my lips...........
"Kate is to return to work but is on light duties"
Quite obviously there are different definitions of the word work.....The English dictionary states:-
WORK...activity involving mental or physical effort in order to achieve a purpose or result.
Now I'm not decrying the lass, it can't be easy for her or anyone in a similar situation, I just think they should drop the word work and replace it with the time honoured "Royal duties" because lets face it they don't exactly break into a sweat on these occasions

« Last post by Old Cruser on September 15, 2024, 05:56:58 PM »Speaking of celebs how about that Katie Price!!! or as I call her Teflon Price because nothing sticks.
She was ordered by a judge to attend the next hearing or she faced jail, and she actually turned up but was let back out to "discuss" her bankruptcy with lawyers and accountants.
My 2 year old great granddaughter will go to prison before she does, I don't know how she does it.
No time for Katy price she feeds off how good she is for caring for her disabled son - so what, thousands do and you're not special for looking after your disabled child Katy - he's YOUR CHILD! get over yourself

I put two in last month and they were filled pretty quickly, maybe just coincidence that they were in our area but I'm still pleased they were done.

Arkwright r/abt has been completely re surfaced, and very nice too... only trouble is it shows the rest of the road up.

Entertainment / Re: Paupers Past
« Last post by Old Cruser on September 06, 2024, 08:37:39 AM »Morning Smithy 266.
It was an excellent presentation about the Paupers in Derbyshire and how the system worked back then.
Life events taken from Derbtshire records were used. Very sad in some cases.
Our bext one in December is Stanton at War which I believe has some cine footage. I'll update on that nearer thd time.
