Maxine disappeared from view some time in the fifties (I think). Then she reappeared in her eightieth year and did a grand tour. I remember seeing a wonderful TV programme at the time her tour was in tha UK. Absolutely marvellous for an eighty year old. Here is a link to part of Maxine's last tour. ...

Wonderful.
The Yorkshire dales are magical places and I was very sorry to leave them, but I was extremely happy to find that the Vale of York is infinitely drier and warmer.

Above, I wrote "I must look out the picture I found of an alternative way for Stanley to take his cod liver oil!" Now here it is, taken from Picture Postcard Monthly which as you know is one of my favourite magazines. The January 2012 issue has a whole article on postcards about cod liver...

There was a farmer's field behind the house were I spent my childhood and everyone called it `Johnny's Meadow' but I don't recall John being the name of the farmer. I wonder if it had some other meaning or was just used to denote any field close to home? Perhaps it was due to what was sometimes fou...

Thankyou Cat , I don't think I've come across Maxine Sullivan ....but will do a bit of digging ! (I'm not very well up on Jazz and Swing etc , and it's lovely to be able to learn more , now that YouTube and Spotify are so freely available) Did see Lionel Hampton in Geneva in 1969/70, though....long...

Tiz, we have a path in Barlick that the older end still recognise as 'Shitten Ginnel'. I used an old saying that I heard first in Scotland yesterday. "A pup for the pavement but an old dog for the hard road". Anyone heard it south of the border? Presumably this Scottish aphorism is a guid...

Good as she was, I think she had a serious rival for top spot in Maxine Sullivan. Maxine was much less well known but in my opinion had as much ability as Ella.

Brad, more to the point, do you like Burly Chassis? (Peter Tinniswood was God...)

Does the site allow blasphemy then?

They look to me like rope/cord/string making adjuncts.....but then what do I know about the price of fish.

(that'll do ...eh!).

It used to be when I lived in that fair city.....who know what haj happened to it.

Well Catty, I suppose it's a bit like not using pesticides in my garden so as not to wipe out the little bugs...but then the little bugs aren't responsible for lousy TV programmes, Ipads, BlackBerrys, mobile phones, bank bonuses, Fred Goodwin, Terry was-is-name the footballer, Adolf Hitler....

I used the phrase `dickey ticker' and wondered why `dickey'? The Collins dictionary says that in this type of usage it's thought to derive from `As queer as Dick's hatband'. Now then, what on earth does that mean? An old aunt of mine used to say... " As queer as Dick's hatband,..and that went ...

What grabbed my attention is all these `Has thanked' and `Been thanked' numbers showing up under members' avatars - at least all except Sally above and me. Sally has the excuse of only just joining, but I've been loafing here for yonks. The truth is I just can't get motivated about that kind of box...

Are you really sure about that??????

... Do you like Wilson, Keppel and Betty ? Wonderful in their day, but very dated now. I have one or two clips of them and still chuckle (slightly). I remember seeing them a few times live in the '40s and early 50's at The Alhambra in Bradfordstani . Which Betty I know not. I believe they went thro...

Self assessment only of course...no correspondence entered into.

I do hope you warmed it first.

This makes interesing reading and also gives food for thought.

I think you must have a good imagination. To my ear they all fall into your latter category.

Piscatorial is a very useful word.

It looks as though our wonderful "Energy Secretary" is going to need all the energy he can get in the very next future.
I don't really like Watt he's been up to. He seems to have broken up a happy Ohm and Currently he looks as though he's due to have Amp le time to ponder the Charge.

If you are using Open Office it is simply a case of Format>Character>Position to produce a superscripted character.
If you are stuck with Mr Gates' stuff I am afraid you are on your own Buddy.

I got so exited thinking about your granny in her underwear that I read.."cobblers".

I have seen quite a lot with a distinct bend in them.
