Hi Kes, Just How do You Fit it ALL In?? -- I sure am Pleased for You. Keep going while You Can!! We have not been up to much these last two years,just 'ticking over' -- so the legs get weary and tired. It becomes a struggle to get going again. Above ALL!! Keep Happy in What You Do!!
Is there a Mrs.Kes to help share those Joys with you:

Yes Phoenix `I do feel very fortunate to still be sound in wind and limb. This weekend I am to attend a reunion that I, as part of a "Gang of Four" , as they call us, have orgnised over the past three years. It will be a joyous occasion. Alas the "departed friends list " will give us all some thought.
It is chilling that one in five of my schoolboy chums have "Shuffled off their mortal coil". Happily the girls are so far all with us !

My wife keeps her self very busy too , apart from our shared activities she leads an active social life involving associates and former work colleagues. She needs the company of people more than I . Being a country lad at heart I am more drawn to solitary activities , preferably in the "great outdoors "

Kes, It seems You take a serious outlook on life, as I used too.(i've mellowed a lot)-- I trust Your re-union goes Well and that as trainer, You have consulted The Health and Safety regulations ?? --It also appears that You and Your Wife are quite happy in Your Isolated Ventures, I am so Happy for You Both: I used to have a realbig yen, for the outside, but sadly that has now gone,as my Eve suffers from bad health and She is my priority, at all times. Not that I know anyone who likes The Outdoor life, to team up with. If I am to attend any events, like classic cars/motorbikes/plane shows, I will have to go on my own. Not that I mind, because one can always 'chat' to othere's!!

Serious outlook Phoenix -- well maybe when it matters-- for the most part I find what life throws at me to be quite hillarious most days !

Kes, Do I Really Believe In What I See??
A Man After My Own Heart!!-- That for me is a 'Rare' thing indeed, on Both Aspects !!-- I must put one of my Poems in here. "If Only" -- It was published too.

Do You Really Laugh at some of the Articles one reads in The Daily Press??? Huh

Poetry, Are!! why not have a section?? Anything to keep The Forum Going?? -- Shucks?? I have not looked at The Jokes yet?? -- Don't gnash your teeth at what you read?? I do know what you mean though. -- I strongly suspect The mentality of some things that people do/state in the press. Why is there so little 'Common Sence' around Now ?? We Both have a Laugh!! "CAN YOU BELIEVE IT" Daily Mail!!

Best of British cock-ups !

A leading heart specialist can finally return to work - after a five year suspension which cost the NHS nearly £4million.
He was suspended in Feb `02 after a junior doctor accused him of bullying !!!!!
