This coming weekend is a special one for the island, an attempt to resurrect the annual Gala that ceased about 10 years ago. The new Gala is titled "Stronsay is Massive" and of course after a couple of months of unseasonably warm weather the forecast is for rain & cloud.

Re: Friday Jokes
It was only after the school teacher had allowed a pupil to go home because their mother was in hospital and their father was in the police station that another pupil told the teacher that the first pupil's mother was a nurse and her father was a policeman.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread IV
In the 90s I had severe back problems to the extent that I could not even walk (totter) for 2 days. Treatment was lots of painkillers and physio. I had a book recommended to me which I found very useful as have several friends who have borrowed it before buying their own copy. “Treat you own back” ...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread IV
You can still get TCP in UK but not sure about the colonies. Not in ZA anyway. Never been able to buy Optrex in ZA! Did get a bottle in Mauritius though o:-) My gran always used Germolene - just the name brings back the smell of the stuff. Mind you, it did cure almost everything back in the 1950s

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread IV
Enjoyed the early pics of Sharjah and Bahrain. I assume the majority of Ricardian's are of Bahrain, 'cos when I was looking at them, I thought they looked like Muhurraq. There are a couple of Alison's that look like the Creek in Dubai? Most of my pics are of Sharjah, notably the ones with Canberra,...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread IV
Fascinating set of photographs Ricardian. Beverelys' Canberra's, a very young looking RAF recruit etc. Whatever happened to the puppy hounds, and that storm damage, was that a cyclone come ashore? Caco I was a 19 year old SAC on his first overseas tour, flying from Stansted to Bahrein in a British ...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread IV
Caco: 'I guess he knows you are British because you wear socks with your veldskoene ex-Ascot!' Had to look that up but no do not possess a pair. Those were called bondu boots or Jesus boots at RAF Sharjah 1963-64 and were an unofficial alternative to the RAF issue sandals. Winter dress was KD with ...

Re: Friday Jokes
How do you know when you're Middle-Aged? 1. You don't understand what young peasants are talking about. 2. You struggle to read Chaucer in weak candlelight. 3. You hate rowdy taverns. 4. You constantly worry that you might have the Black Death. 5. You don't know or care who Blondel is sleeping with....

Re: Friday Jokes
There were three medieval kingdoms on the shores of a lake. There was an island in the middle of the lake, which the kingdoms had been fighting over for years. Finally, the three kings decided that they would send their knights out to do battle, and the winner would take the island. The night before...
