Good morning York.  Guess it's more like good afternoon now, you and I are 8 hrs apart.  I've actually been to York.  Stayed with friends in Derby (pronounced "Darby" for my fellow Americans), but it was long ago (you would have been a wee bairn).  Drove up to see Scotland, and that's where I lost the ability to understand what people were saying.  A man was supposedly giving us directions, and I didn't understand a single word!  I was young-ish and felt terrible because he was trying to help.  Or so I thought, until I noticed the expression on his wife's face-  she looked patiently amused and slightly apologetic.  Not the first time her husband had fun at the expense of tourists! 

So you will need to explain REET, CHUDDY, and CROGGY (hungover maybe?).  Think I got the rest.


Now that is funny, ha ha!! Scottish no I can't understand either. Some Scottish programs on our TV have subtitles on because it is that hard to determine.

REET = Right
CHUDDY = Chewing gum
CROGGY = Give someone a lift on your push bike. They sit on the seat and you peddle in front. When we were kids we used to get three on a bike. An extra person sat on the handle bars, how the tyres took it I will never know!!

glad you got the the rest . hahaa 
 i seen a couple saying i am familiar with .
Newfie despite twisted take on me I am quite normal.  sometimes.   I cant say how long it should take you because I had another heart attack right after my stents were put in.  I do remember Tom up and at it in 2 days and that is what you are led to think but i was much longer. A few weeks.


Glad you got some of them!!
Normal granny, never!! Nobody is normal would be very boring if that were the case.
My grandma was a week or so before she was up and about with her stents, but she was 82 when she had them done. She had 3 of them in.
 
So far it is smooth sailing at work today.

Every body remember to pause for a few seconds today and pray for the families that lost loved ones on this day......


Have you touched wood now you have said its smooth sailing?

I certainly will take a few seconds today to remember.
 
LOL, thats 2 against 1 ! I guess i am not normal but compared to who?
York, do you have some problems with some of the things that are said over here ?

Reminds me of a story my father told me. My mom and himself was in the yard pulling weeds and she got up walked over to him and kicked him then turned around and went back to work. He asked her, What was that for ? She replied, thats for being a lousy lover all our married lives. Well, he sat there and thought about what she had said then he got up, walked over to her and kicked her back. she said, Now what was that for ? He replied, For knowing the difference.
 
Exactly :thumbsup Compared to who? Define normal? I don't think you can.

Yes with some things, but the more I have been on here the better I'm getting. Could have done with a phrase book when I first joined up. :gig
We do get a lot of American programmes over here though which helped a lot.
That is one funny story, giggling to myself over here!!
