The Oldies Thread

I wish they'd show the whole thing again. Doubt if it exists now mind.
They revived it for a spell around the millennium and it starred Jane Asher. Surely the pinnacle of her career.

Much better telly these days.
No, please don't show it again.

…we’ve had my daughters French Bulldog staying here for a week whilst she’s on holiday and his snoring is incredible. He’s in his own bed on our bedroom floor but my word. He’s lying on the floor next to my chair now and snoring away, I guess he has trouble breathing but we like having him.

It's a common thing with French Bulldogs:

French Bulldogs are known for their snoring due to their brachycephalic (flat-faced) structure, which includes narrow nostrils and an elongated soft palate that can obstruct their airways.

…I’d imagine it’s quite uncomfortable sleeping with that apparatus covering your face.

Considering I used to be screwed to the radiotherapy table in this mask, five sessions a week, for six weeks, two years ago, when I had cancer on my vocal chords, sleeping with the CPAP mask is a doddle.

How did you go about getting your diagnosis and treatment etc mate?

My GP is absolutely useless

I went to the doctor and told him my wife says I keep stopping breathing in my sleep, and that I worry I might have sleep apnoea. He passed that on and I was sent a wristwatch-type of thing to wear at night for a week. After returning it I received a call saying it showed that I stopped breathing for at least ten seconds up to 15 times per hour.

I was then contacted by Guys hospital who took it from there.

That day has come. Arthritis knocked my playing days on the head 5 years ago, when my knee couldn't even cope with walking football anymore. But today, these old stalwarts go to the bin.

Thanks boys, it's been a blast. No titles, no FA or world cups, like most of us, but a huge amount of fun.

Prefer rhubarb to apple as I like the sharpness (also very fond of gooseberries for the same reason). I have 2 patches of rhubarb growing in my garden, one grows earlier in the year than the other.

Do you Blanch it to get longer sticks of Rhubarb?

No, never bothered, just pick it and eat it when it's ready. Also give a fair bit away as well, my friends grandson absolutely loved the stuff.

Did they let you keep the mask?

All this transfer talk, I remember the days I'd get home from school & Radio Merseyside would announce that we'd just signed someone!
I suppose its nice to chat though.

Frenchies not as bad as an actual Bulldog - they are sonorius snorers.
