After all, you can't be too careful can you ? Apparently. I would absolutely wager that I have spent far more time out and about over the last 2 years plus than you have. As a retiree with outdoor hobbies,plus a dog that likes walks, a mother in law ,bed ridden in her own home requiring daily visits,holidays around the U.K.,and another one at Stratford in December. Visits to the theatre, meals out. Whilst you appear to spend your life hammering your keyboard either in your shop or at home and raging at the world.

Got it 👍 What exactly are you saying I do not know ? : 1 - I think we can be pretty sure that book has been viewed thousands of times, possibly tens of thousands, particularly as it is in Libraries. or 2 - Very few internet pages get tens of thousands of hits, 1% at a guess ? And certainly not any pages with pictures of school events or kids swimming galas. I'd bet my house of either of them being correct, other than the exact figure of 1%, but it'll be something very low, it might even be less than 1%. 13 hours ago, RJRB said: I would absolutely wager that I have spent far more time out and about over the last 2 years plus than you have.

Visits to the theatre, meals out. Good for you, and I mean that. Life is for living, we're not here that long, and our quality of life (certainly our fitness and mobility) starts deteriorating for most people as we get older. So make the most of it. To me quality of life is far more important then length of life. Edited November 29, 2022 by Chekhov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prettytom Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) I don’t think that we should discount the possibility that Checkov isn’t all that he seems. Maybe, he’s a pilot for a new Steve Coogan character. I think we can all agree that Alan Partridge has become a bit predictable. Maybe he’s lining up a series of “Checkov: Troll Finding Graph Man” to entertain us all in the spring. In colour, of course.

Chekhov Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 OMG ! Our lad is going away on a residential with the school for a few days.

Don't know about others, but I'd rather have him photographed by his pals parents, than school "overnight" trips, if you catch my drift! Especially these days, Who knows if the teacher will suddenly re-identify in the middle of the night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
