So that's what you did in the black out.

Polished your helmet.

Nah...I picked it up a few years ago when they were finally rebuilding on a V2 site here in the East End. I only started polishing it up about 3 months ago when I was sat here reading your postings on this website. I needed a little bit of intellectual stimulation.

Don't worry, like my earlier resurrection, and sticking with the WW II theme, one Yank and they'll be off.

Work still short on the ground for you?

Hope it picks up soon.



Have you not thought of retraining as a mudlark?

Yes, but you, like Rula Lenska, were worth it, and you looked as pleased as Punch when you first slipped into it, before going off to fleece a few farthings from some unsuspecting tourists.

This is rather fun, let's pick another innocent thread from years ago and bring it back to life.

I always liked that one about the calendars....

That's not old!

That comes back to life every year, when a new calendar comes through our letter boxes.

And I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to it. Just remind us of what we can look forward to - you still got a scan of the last issue?

Actually, 'issue' isn't a bad euphemism as the calendar is about as good as a bag of said emission.....

Your wish is my command.

The 'Toby jug' calendar, my favourite, you can have thrown in.

Two for the price of one.

That's good value, after all.

Even though this is an old thread please stay on topic thanks

i remember the Arndale being built and the clock taking pride of place, i remember the opening of the Arndale and the first time the clock was played for the public, i loved it, there was no harm ever caused by it
