• Happy Birthday Jimbo!

    73 Today!

    And Margaret Thatcher 100 Today. Wish I'd known that they shared a
    birthday before now - a missed opportunity.

    Last seen here on 30th September 2024, so now over a year and counting.

    Given his frequent uk.r.a presence prior to that date it does rather
    paint a picture especially given other comments about his absence from
    places he'd be expected to visit.

    Yes, I know. I said much the same thing recently.

    I remember that he disappeared in much the same way? when he was ill in
    the run-up to his transplant. I'll keep the calendar alert that I have
    set for his birthday for another year, just in case.

    He gets arsey if I forget his birthday. He also gets arsey if I remember
    his birthday. I suspect that he may just enjoy getting arsey <shrug>.

    ?ISTR Ian (3 sheds) starting a thread entitled "I'm getting rather
    worried about Jim"ý when Jim had disappeared prior to his transplant.

    ý A reference to a popular 1950s? radio drama, I believe.

    ? Before my time.

    I don't recall exactly when that was, and a bit of looking about
    earlier didn't resolve that either.

    That must be the 1970s, so you're a bit out on the timing.

    And now I don't believe that with the revised timing.

    Ah, it was the sheds thing that confused me, I was thinking of Arthur
