I hope both are fit and well. The football has been gash and the money scam of football doesnt help with mood. So hopefully both just scunnered with the way football being run and taking a break.
ill keep them in my prayers and hope they both fit and well.
World is badly broken and football is not solving the escape it once did as its broken too.
Here here tt. If only our regulars came back on we would all be in a great place. Their postings brought so much to all our debates. Particularly miss Shottsghirl would message her back and forward as we went back long ways with the blog.. There are so many we miss that it would take me hours on here to mention them all. I hope that they and their families are all well and enjoying time together.

That is sad about Frank. I can't think of anything that would have made him want to leave. Hopefully he has a wee break and comes back soon as he was one of the sensible ones on here.

Two more stalwarts of the noise who contributed much to the site, have taken their leave for their own reasons
Hopefully life is ok with them and they are soon back with us
The good news is, you're stuck with me
Because I am going nowhere, there's much shenanigans to be done and I'm just the Bhoy to do it
HH Bhoys you are missed on here by many

Maybe he's been kidnapped by the Young Arran Team and is being held for ransom
We should put together a rescue effort and extricate him from the clutches of the Arran Nation
Sorry, it's all I've got
Hopefully he's ok and will be back soon

Well, this getting old shit is definitely not for cissies
And as we all know, most of us anyway, you pay for the sins of your youth, when you are on the back nine
Add to that the usual health concerns we all have at times, and then Mother nature has a hand in letting us know that we are pretty much insignificant when it comes to the world we live in
Once more, BC, parts of Alberta, Manitoba, and other provinces are having a tough time with wildfires
I took this photo yesterday around 5 o clock when I took Georgia out for a walk
This is our road and the weather has been absolutely brilliant all Summer
With that, comes the inevitable wildfires which have devastated towns across the country
Yesterday, it was said that Vancouver had the world's worst air pollution due to the wildfires raging in the province
There is a wildfire in Hope, BC, about an hours drive from us, which has caused this smoky haze in our neighbourhood
After my recent hospital stay with pneumonia, which brought on a heart attack, I have to be very careful, so I had on a mask, and we cut the walk short as it's not good for any of us
It's a bit better this morning, so we did our normal loop and the breeze helped, but still smells like bacon outside ;-)
Wishing you all good health and happiness, from beautiful British Columbia

Cheers AllyThank you Dill . For remembering me about Canada . Although I was visiting my sister in Toronto it was and it is a beautiful country .

Well that's interesting, your wife will have been to Whistler BC, just up the road from Squamish
Toronto is ok but having been there one November, when there was lots of snow on the ground, and returned the following April, and it was still there, made me think I made the right decision to come to the west coast
The Winters back East are severe, we get a lot more rain and milder Winters but still gets pretty cold out this way but not the -30 they can get in Ontario and Quebec
Yes, I realise how fortunate I am to have the family I do
We're expecting rain this weekend which should help clear the skies and help with the wildfire situation
Be well
HH

Yeah willdo palYou stay safe brother
We're about an hour from Hope, BC and they are dealing with a terrible situation right now
The Coquihalla highway which was washed out a few years back and was rebuilt, has to be closed due to the wildfire
Feel for all those affected
This link shows how terrifying it is
Imagine it would be like driving through Hell as the fire jumps the highway, and you can only keep going
Video captures terrifying drive on Coquihalla Highway as wildfire rages | Globalnews.ca
Video shared with Global News shows flames and dark smoke ahead, but as the drive continues, red and orange flames appear on both sides of the highway.

Yes she has been to whistler her cousin John Lowe stayed there. She stayed with her aunt n Brittania Beach,. Forgive me the spelling. She would go to school on the bus with the Indians from the reservation. Imagine that in those days how times have changed and for the better.My sister yesterday as 18 when she arrived in Toronto in a snowstorm . Not being dressed for the Canadian climate she found out very quickly what it can do to your system. Freezing cold she had to get warm clothes before hypothermia set in. She's doing great now as she is 86. But a harsh lesson was learnt that day she first steeped on Canadian soil.Cheers Ally

Yes, if you're not prepared for it, it's a shock to the system
I've worked in minus 25, and you learn quickly it's all about layers, not style
The Squamish area is beautiful
The Squamish chief is awesome, you'll see it if you google it
People hang glide from it, and it's a good hike to the top
Some have died Trung to climb it's sheer face
But, that area is a reflection of the real Canada, beautiful scenery, rugged mountains, trees and as you drive the sea to sky highway, you understand why it got it's name
The First Nations are a proud, welcoming people, some the greatest Canadian artists are First Nations
Next time, make it BC, you won't regret it

Your story about arriving in Toronto reminded me of when I worked at YVR
A young Australian girl arrived in the Customs Hall
Her luggage didn't make the flight and she asked me if everything was in already
Now, it was mid January here, and was about minus 10 outside
Being an Aussie, and with it being their Summer, when she left, she had on a tank top, shorts, and flip flops, and that was it
I told her that as her baggage hadn't shown up the airline would give her $500 and she could go shopping for new Winter gear
I asked if her final;l destination was Vancouver, and she said "No, I'm going to a place called Saskatoon..."
I said "Well, you're definitely going to have to get some Winter clothes before getting there, as right now it's minus 35 in Saskatoon"
And I stand corrected, it's actually the Stawamus Chief and as you'll see, it's impressive in it's size and location
