When I took early severance at the age of 47 I put my spare time to good use.
I bought a Bass guitar.

Apparently I’m another year older, but not sure if the last 12 months count?

Will be in selected pubs from 1pm as I recall other great England performances on this date. Hand of God. Thomas Brolin. Phil Neville own goal. Stuart Pearce’s redemption penalty.

And don’t get me started on England cricket. Usually at Lords. :cold_sweat:

Happy B day.

Where was I on this day 50 years ago?
I was buying this album at Henry’s Records, St Marys Street, Southampton. I still have it.
Happy anniversary Joni

Not a Milestone but information

My old man has just told me he got his first Teddy boy Jacket from an engineer that used to work on the Antarctic Vessel John Biscoe which is the Vessel in the Sloop John B song

doesnt explain a lot but I thought was interesting

Back in early July last year, we received an offer on our house in Horndean, and put in an offer on one that we really loved in Droxford. Almost a year on, we’ve completed on the purchase. It’s been a saga of almost Norse proportions, but we’ve stuck with it and we’ve got there in the end.

Not sure exactly when we’ll move in properly (we had to complete on the sale in April and are currently staying in Bishopstoke), but the house is ours.

The old station house in Droxford is a gorgeous place - way beyond my means. The old railway line from Gosport to Alton has been converted into a bridle path for much of its length and (obviously really) runs past that house, taking something of a detour from its original course in the process.

If yo are up the road, fancy a beer at Steamtown? Any chance of getting a Gay Dresser along?

I would say that both of these are strong possibilities.

Yeah I just got another one. :roll_eyes:

Sotonians really are like saints. Apparently 279 of those given out.
Most have been sold on to better things…
