    Well this thread now has gone way off the original topic so I may decide to delete the whole thread.

    How about looking at the obvious point and that is why there is action on this thread it keeps the initial topic alive otherwise the thread ends up in the archival dustbin. This has been a thorn in quite a few members side when a few of us can not help but have a bit of a laugh only to find that others have lost their humour and tend to take their bat and ball home. Think like the politicians do and that is while the thread is still active then it is kept alive and popular.
    That's the way the mop flops.

    My thanks to Brian for this site.

    Default Astray!!

    Certainly will agree with your points on this issue Les,but then we must also look at the fact that sometimes there are some who i suppose would prefer to keep the Subject in question as that,possibly when it concerns a Family Quest!
    But yes we do stray a bit now and then and i suppose besides being ex Merchant Seaman we are all of course only HUMAN!
    But astray we will always go now and then!

    Wink "Old habits die hard"

    Thank you Davey for your great post.
    Please excuse me but I have been known to 'run a tight ship'. I am an old nurse worked for many years in a charge position. So I just had to throw my weight around to keep things on course.
    "Old habits die hard."

    One reason I have the screen name wee K nightingale
    Now no Florence Nightingale jokes! I have heard them all.

    Here is a test question:
    What was Florence Nightingale called?

    a) the Wonder Miracle Worker
    b) the Lovely Lady with the lamp
    c) the Lady-in-Chief
    d) the Song Bird

    Answer in the next post:

    Oh my goodness! I know I have to wear spectacles to read but I now need a 100x power magnifying looking-glass to see those documents.

    Yes AJ Robin's wife was Doris she died in an auto accident in UK 1960. My cousin was raised by his grandparents and never really new his father. So after all these years he would like to show his respects to his father by finding his grave site. Life is one crazy voyage with lots of twists and turns. Just have to enjoy the cruise while the weather is good!

    Castleman, you are a great detective!
    Thanks we are making headway through the storm.
