Guest Book

Just realised after running the Gauntlet I had travelled almost a decade from the age of 70 to my present age of 80, not sure what I should feel, pleased with reliving the past or just noticing how quickly time as flown by. borne out by the aging of my body.

Ken - excuse 'not so wise ole' Owl SPUD teaching grannies to suck eggs but shirley one can use the right hand 'running sideline' index thingy to capture the first entry and scroll down in a few seconds to be near the latest entry ?
The amusing facility about the 'new' format is that you can reply to a post 5 to 9 years ago !" - Arthur this not a criticism - just 'amusing' - I know you always do your best to provide for us METOBS and you and Gill will always have my full support.

Just done the long journey to this point and like Ken still bearing wit you

Cheers Arthur, i wait with bated breath to see the results of your major labours when they reach fruition

AT LAST I HAVE REALIZED I HAD TO SCROLL THROUGH THE WHOLE GUESTBOOK FROM MY OWN VERY FIRST POST IN 2011 TO GET TO THE FRONT END.Thank God! I thought I had lost this forum forever.
Did have lot of fun reading those early posts and realizing how very un PC we were sometimes. Ray and I having our knuckles rapped by the moderator for using vitriolic not to say unseemly words about a former colleague, the posts promptly deleted by the moderator so no evidence remains of our uncharitable diatribes.
Note in Johnny W latest post he nentioned cricket at Culdrose, Danny Nesbit was I/C the cricket team. I remember he picked me once as opening bat, first ball I made a great late cut for four, out next ball, never picked me again. Fair play to Johnny W I remember him making a wonderful one handed catch on the boundary, full length off the ground and that ball was travelling!
