Re: General health matters.


I was away at Potters last week, but since I came home I have had bad (but not severe) pains in knees and big toe, could be gout ? It has made walking difficult, even indoors.


Still got a bad big toe, and I can't get to see anyone at the Doctors till Tuesday 25th.

Re: Nothing In Particular

In days of old on the TV there were short films between gaps in programmes, not the very old intermission films but a bit later and pre colour.

I seem to remember one that showed a toy train going round in a circle whilst the music was wheels by Joe Loss.


Any one else remember ?
