Nuh you're right Richo, I'm sure we have lurkers and I don't want to stir that particular pot 🙂

My father was into vintage cars when I was a kid and my mother was required to do her shopping in everything from a wasp body racing Citroen to a Rolls Royce tourer.

She was a brilliant driver and adapted quickly to all of them. She did give herself a fright once when, after driving our small Morris which she had to push through the gears to get it up to 30 mph she found herself doing 60 mph in a new Dodge with no effort at all :^O

I sometimes wonder if any of those well known vintage cars are still around.. '50 bob' which was a racing Begatti and the Yellow Rolls Royce that used to do the round Australia trials. A Tourquat Marie a touring car that held 9 and had a wooden steering wheel and a 6ft long engine block...

Long ago and far away ...

night gerries...xxxxxx

Gerrie yourself Gil :^O

I'm feeling pretty gerry this morning....think I've got an abscessed tooth:-( It's been aching all night..

I was supposed to get it out last year but then the pelvis thing happened and of course ...........any excuse not to explore my dental phobia....my own fault...and on the weekend too. Thank goodness for Panadol...seems to be working so far....I have some stronger ones left over from hospitlal that may come in useful.

don't smack my hand darki:-p

Abscessed tooth is horrible, you are not on your own when it comes to dentists.

I have tooth that is broken right down into the gum, should go have it out, but I have dental phobia as well.

Fortunately my tooth isnt painful.

Keep up the pain killers & hope you dont have to take the stronger ones.

I remember the Austin A30. My father's first car was a Ford Prefect.

I remember the Austin A30 as well. The guy that lived next door had one.

Purple.....try and find a dentist that does 'sedation'...it's blissful....I think they give you something to make you forget the op as well.

This tooth has been ok up till now....bugga

Late morning seniors.

-Look after your self a bit more Gilly!

The term-"gerrie" for old people derived from

not Geriatric-but the habit of old people to

get out of bed and lean down under the bed and say--------

-----------------morning Jerry-lol.............Richo.

That makes sense Richo and did you know that when the Poms used to toss the contents out the windows onto the streets and call

"Gardy loo"

They were taking it from the French for "Regarde vous"

Or in good old Oz "Look out you"  ?

SMACK Gill that tooth has been going on for about three years that I can recall... norti girl!  🙂

Morning all 🙂

Gilly, (and a big Hi to you) teeth can be the cause of many problems when you get older.....even affect the heart.  Perhaps it is nature's way of bumping us off......it starts with receeding gums and goes on from there.  I am blessed with lovelyl teeth and still have them all including the wisdoms.

I am paranoid about my teeth and before I go to bed each night I clean then rinse with Listerine.  It isn't about the teeth, it is about keeping the gums healthy.  I recommend it to anybody who gets gum infections.

Some of us survived the school (mostly student) dentists who came around to the primary schools in the olden days.
