Given the subject matter, I should add that I remember Mary Hopkin's "Those were the days" Appropriate, I think 😄

Road sweeps with their cart and brushes The smell of coal when the coal man delivered Pea soupers Embassy cigarettes Parade magazine Scarlet fever The winter of 63 Tangerines at Christmas time. England winning the World Cup The bomb craters on Belmont downs The spittoon in the public bar of the local and the sound of a direct hit. Paraffin heaters Kent having a good cricket team.

I like this line. Though admittedly, I had to wade through the rest of your post to find it.

The Turkey and the Gobshyte Were walking hand in hand In flip-flops and wife-beaters Across the Pattaya sand "Wouldn't it be wonderful If all alcohol was banned?" "If all bargirls had lady drinks And drank for half a year What are the chances" the Turkey said "That they would run out of beer?" "I doubt it", said the Gobshyte As he gave a girl a leer. "Oh bargirls, come and talk to us" The Turkey did implore "A drunken talk, an unsteady walk To behind the toilet door We cannot pay for more than one Though we could drink much more" The mama san looked at him And pointed at the wall A sign that read 'No Cheap Charlies Are welcome here at all.' The Gobshyte nursed his empty glass, Sat anchored to his stool. "The time has come" the Turkey said "To post so many things On ASEAN Now, of Aussie slang - Of trolling fights - and grins And why Gob's wife is cold as ice And why his postman sings."

I love Linda Ronstadt. Parkinson's took an angel away.

What's the fuss? The royal "we" has been around for a couple of centuries. Just to clarify that's "we" not "wee" . That said, the royal "wee" has been around even longer.

Sorry, I should have highlighted this from the above text

I found this on a Google search Update your account to meet age requirements To manage your own Google Account, you must meet the minimum age requirement for the country associated with your account. If we have learned that you may not be old enough to manage your own account: You’ll have 14 days to either set up supervision for your account or verify that you’re old enough to manage your account. During this grace period you can log in and use your account as normal. If your account is through work, school, or another organization, your account may not be eligible for parental supervision. If that is the case, your account will be disabled immediately. You should contact your admin if you have questions. If you choose not to set up supervision or verify you’re old enough to manage your account within 14 days, your account will be disabled and your account information will be deleted after 30 days. Important: If your account is disabled, content you've published will be hidden. For example, YouTube videos you've created won't be visible while your account is disabled. If you re-enable your account it may take up to several days for your content to show up again. Set up supervision for your account If you're not old enough to manage your own account, you can have a parent use their Google Account to set up supervision so you can continue using your account.

True. It does look odd but they do seem to be tightening up recently. I also got the the same message that you did about dormant accounts.

It looks as if you may have entered your date of birth incorrectly or perhaps left it blank. They have withdrawn your email account until you confirm that you are an adult and not a minor.

Have you discussed this with your postman yet? I think you should.

The last time I was in Sin City, I was having a drink in a Nana Plaza bar (purely out of idle curiosity, you understand) which offered me the most extensive bar menu you could imagine. Beers, spirits, liqueurs, cocktails, soft drinks. All clearly priced. They even listed the price of a Lady Drink and a BJ (whatever that was? ????) As the BJ was priced at a modest 250 baht , I was tempted to try one but my fellow drinking companion that night, an Anglican vicar, who seemed a lot more acquainted than I with these matters, dissuaded me from ordering one. Next time, perhaps.

Bob's postman's got them. They come in handy when he needs something signed for.

Vacuum tubes - now you're talking! And let's not forget the Facit calculator. Great fun!

Same here, except I have been getting 504 - Gateway time out - on my mobile.
