Yes I remember Blakey: " I'll get you Butler". <br /><br />I'll send you a message. I'm just splitting some logs for the one who must be obeyed.northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-56459264049485265622019-02-06T01:49:37.554-07:002019-02-06T01:49:37.554-07:00One of my favourite tv series was On the Buses wit...One of my favourite tv series was On the Buses with Reg Varney I think he was called and of course the jobsworth bus inspector whose name escapes me at the moment.

Please email gwil.williams2@gmail.com with the address you want your prize sending to. Well done! I'm sure you won't be disappointed with your computer generated artwork signed by the artists himself i.e. moi (unfortunately I'm not Banksy so it won't be worth much so you can safely hang it on the shed door and throw darts at it).

Places like cafés and public transport are good for this, yes, I agree.

We would go out for day excursions and it was always the same couple who turned up ten minutes every day. I think writers like Alan Bennett get their ideas and characters from public transport and cafes ..?

I know they have a gift of the gab: I had a client who came back after a Shearings trip and married the driver! I also remember the last bus home when I was a teenager and the banter on the upper deck on a Saturday night was better than the night out I was coming home from!

I often talk more to people via the blog than I do where I live. Thinks that's whats so good about reading and writing blogs. Its a connection to the outside world. I often watch comedians and music and old gardening programmes on You Tube. It's Geoffrey Smiths Vegetable Garden at the moment. What a man he was!

You don't get many Irish people commenting on your blog and even I get very few... it is probably because they are either busy writing books or that they would rather use a mobile. For most are better at talking than writing.A Heron's Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563706152609630696noreply@blogger.com
