Hi Jim

I am sorry I have not replied earlier. I am having my frount and back garden done today and I have got some potted herbs to be put in the garden. The decorating is going slowly and my wooden floor in the front room needs finishing off. Next will be my bedroom but that won't take much doing. The worst area is the bathroom and the kitchne cupboards. The bathroom is rather on the cold side even when the heating is on.

after years, i got a reply already, and have sent the link for her to come back, if she still wants to, no names till i see if she returnsjimxxx

Hi Jim

The last time I regurarly watched F1 was when James Hunt and Graham Stewart (I think that was his name, he was Scottish) were champions.

In getting back touch with lost h2g2ers.

blimey, in them days cars where death traps on wheels lol
-
i think you mean jackie stewart,lol
-
was the dr who thread to your liking, as i said, in the past i watched it now and then, i think i remember watching at least one dr film.
-
im more for the detective stuff, and if there is a good horror one on the horror channel i might watch it, the tales from the crypt arnt to bad, jimxxx

Jim the Doctor Who thread link is a very good one and I am enjoy reading comments on the programme.

I think I may watched Tales from the Crypt. I also remember watching Tales of the Unexpected when it first came out.

I do not know why I thought Jackie Stewart was called Graham. I think I must have got his name mixed up with another driver. I know of another Scottish driver Goutlhard.

hi kat
-
g hill, and david c.
-
you will have to keep one eye on the dr who homepage lol.
-

Thanks Jim for the names, another sport that I used to watch was motorcycling racing but that was at least twenty years ago along with the wrestling.

hi kat
-
ah, motorcycling, barry sheen, where do you think the jimcracker7, no 7 came from,it was the number of barry, he had so many crashes with more pins in his body than anyone, so if he could be luck, his number could be my lucky number,ie 7
-
some info you might or might not know.
-
dr who was first aired in 1963, the same day as kennedy was assasinated.
-
first one was
hartnell,then.troughton,then,pertwee, then,baker,then davison, then,mccoy,-- the film one was-paul magann,jimxxx

cheers>Jim, I remember too when Barry Sheen got all those pins in his joints. I did not know about the No7 and Barry Sheen.

I was born on July 31st 1963, 3 days early. I know Doctor Who was first shown in November of that year but not the exact date. When I ever go throught the list of Doctor Who actors, I remember Tom Baker but I tend to forget Colin Baker's name and Paul McGann. I remember first seeing Paul McGann with his brothers in tv programme set in rural Ireland in the late 19th century.

hi kat
-
way back when i watched dr who a lot, but i cant for the life of me tell you the name of any of the series that where on.
-
cybermen and daleks is all that still springs to mind.
-
back then i didnt have any real favorites, avengers,linda thorston,honor blackman,diana rigg.then the updated one with steed,perdey,and gambitjimxx

Jim I was too a fan of the Avengers both the original and the new one. I remember seeing re-runs of the original a few years back, where their boss was called Mother (even though he was a man) and another boss called father (but father was a woman) and I remember the release of the song
"Kinky boots".

Tonight I will be sleeping on my sofabed and seeing what it is like to sleep in the front room. I get woken up at 5:30 am every morning with the sound of a noisy radio with crackling noise for nearly an hour. They got the volume of the radio high and the window open.

hi kat
-
one of the channels is doing reruns of some of the ones with diana rigg.
-

Hi Jim

I hope you will have a good time when your away. I haggis especially with mashed neeps and tatties. When I lived in SE Ayrshire, when I ate most haggis either on Burns Nicht or at New Year at horme or at the Galloway Pub in our village of Barrhill.

Hi Jim

Here is some information I found about East Kilbride. In the latter half of the 20th century East Kilbride grew from a rural Lanarkshire village to become Scotland's sixth largest town. Now East Kilbride which is located close to Glasgow and on the main motorway routes, is a central base for business, shopping, leisure and a setting off place to go to many of the tourist places in Scotland.

I used to go through their when I was going to Glasgow from Ayshire by train or on rare occasions bus or coach.

Take care
