yes and run on gas

You're making that part up.

it worked with an employment officer in the local job centre years ago
at the time I was trying to get back into work (1990's) she said we have it here, that you repaired tv's ? - said yes, but in my day they run on gas - her reply (thicko) oh did they!!!

That's funny.

I remember TVs with tubes and radios with tubes.

I even put a crystal radio together once, back in the 90s...I was taking broadcasting classes, and I wanted to understand more about radio...picked up local stations on a tiny thing with a couple of wires, a small battery, and a shard of quartz...

I moved jobs just has transistors were coming in, I was repairing the black and white tv's(approx 16 sets per day - customers homes) and the other guy did the colour. But no one to train me up so I went in to the chemical job for a better wage

I get you. I know how that is - one time I had six jobs at the same time. I was teaching at a community college, a four-year college, and a school system, doing radio, playing piano in a bar, and demonstrating housewares in a department store. All at the same time.

Then I landed in hospital, and lost two of the jobs.

and since I've known youYOUR still a workaholic

Yeah, but I'm getting too slow. Old and can't see...

proof

does Gheorgheniplex ? have any input to add

True.

It occurs to me - nobody ever does age inside. Which is what God intended.

So if younger people just realised that, we'd get along better. You may be slower, blinder, deafer, etc. But inside, you're a time machine...

A 1960s teenager. Far out, man.

be cool dude! like ice cream

I had hair then

And we were just as weird back then, only people thought we'd grow out of it.

Unfortunately, some did.

if someone says to me - your in a world of your ownI just reply yes! but at least I know everyone in there

shoots them down, as they have no reply

I like it.

My sister and Elektra are in a world of their own - they've gone off shopping. I'm pretty sure my sister has a meeting to go to at 6.30. They aren't back yet, and it's 6:10.

Guess who's supper will be late again?

oh poor you

sarnie time or egg on toast ?

Can't. No gluten-free bread in't house, so no sarnies. When herself gets back, it's going to be either pizza - she's supposed to pick up some gluten-free mozzarella - or a sloppy joe, if she manages to find a gluten-free bun. In the meantime, I just wait.
