see you later Pete, sleep and dream well later bud

Night Prof. Sleep well

Did you have a good natter with your mate Prof?

we caught up on local gossip and put a few world problems to rightas you do, before he took worse with his complaint(osteoarthritis)he is a Buffalo as I am, we were in the same lodge, but now can't attend

Aye nothing like putting the world to rights, I love pointing out where the "leaders!" are going wrong.
The phrase "couldn't run a p***up in a brewery" always springs to mind.

takes a Yorkshireman mate, not enough of us running the shop

Well said, even though I am from Co Durham originally, I have lived in Yorkshire for the past 30 years and all my kids are Yorkshire born and bred. Someone told me in another 70 years I will be accepted as if I was born here.

No1 - your a northerner anyway
No2 - 30 yr, your nationalised to us
No3 - your kids will teach you
don't need a No4

See if you can guess where I was born from this clue. During the Napoleonic wars a french vessel ran aground and the sole survivor was a primate dressed in a french navy uniform, the rest they say is history!

I've heard the story(a bit)about a monkey shot as a spy, if its the same one, but the place eludes me

Almost right, the Monkey was actually hung as a french spy as the people of Hartlepool had never seen a Monkey before or a Frenchman so they tortured the poor thing to get it to talk before it was hung.

Needless to say there are still not a lot of French people living in or visiting Hartlepool.

steady shift bud and see you later

I get quite a bit of stick from the regulars at my local when they feel inclined, me and a Scottish lad for some strange reason, something about "coming down ere, nicking our jobs and women" which strangely enough is often brought up after thrashing the pub team at 5s+3s

Night Prof.
