Oh I'm wrong, he did 3 years in the Marines. I think you were right,he flunked the course after a few months and didn't get his green beret.He did better than me though,I didn't enlist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalos Posted April 15, 2021 #18978 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Today after holding on to the Meadow-hell gift card the guys at work got me when I was laid up in hospital cardio unit 18 months ago, I have finally been out shopping ! Armed with my mask ,gift card and trusty Mrs at my side ,off we went to buy a tablet out of Currys ,with good reason as they are price matching other stores, so ended up buying one almost £50 cheaper than any other store .Downside is it was not in stock so I will have to wait until next week for delivery. The most weird thing about going out shopping was Mrs Kalos did not attempt to spend anything whilst we were out but told me not to worry as she will be going online later today ! To soften the blow she has made me a refreshing Tuna salad to take my mind off her surfing skills Still it's turning out to be a nice day 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eddie99 Posted April 15, 2021 #18981 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Your lunch looks good Graham. Slightly more salubrious than our surroundings, perhaps, but we walked by the river to ours and were thus able to have 2 drinks, in celebration Pup was a good girl, so she’s starting her pub training early. She had a little bit of fat off OH’s steak, once we had finished eating, so is hopefully learning that it pays to lay low and quiet Ohmygoodness it was so nice to do NORMAL things Edited April 15, 2021 by Eddie99 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it on the radio earlier. I was just giving my thoughts about some of the earlier posts which were suggesting military uniform for Harry, Andrew, and Edward. Now resolved.

Probably a wise move, whatever they wear someone will kick up a fuss, I just wish people would let them get on with it, at such a sad time for their family. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right Phil and no doubt something will be considered wrong/inappropriate/tasteless on Saturday. I hope above all things that The Queen is supported and cherished by her family.
