Something which may be useful for some fellow Yanks out there. Streamlines ID/verification for those accessing government agencies.

I reckon having this properly set up may also assist with accessing other institutions, businesses and agencies as well in the future.

Can save a lot of hassle, and cut down on potential huge nightmarish headaches.

Sure wish this tech was available during covid. Would have saved me a ton of issues.

Noooo, my old ones are only a few months old too. 

Besides, they are too bright for Ya!

LOL.

Reminds me of a guy I used to work with. We called him "Neon".

He married this telecommunicator who had a moustache thicker than Geraldo's.

It was the early 60s darling..

Nowt but lashings of real butter, with memories of Rationing still on everybody's minds .... Something that you had to be there to appreciate!

Mustard is cheap as chips !   But I also love good butter ! Something that is very expensive here, as is cheese. Kills me everytime I go to the market.

All of my shirts this last trip were Isocool, except for a couple. It was remarkable how good they were and the odd days when my laundry was being done and I wore the ordinary T shirts that I have been wearing for ever, it was very noticeable how much more I sweated and felt hotter in them.

 

 

I have a closet full of cotton shirts I may never wear again.

Toasted thick cut white bread from the 60's.

My favourite travelling with my Dad in the lorry on the car ferry Southampton to IOW and back to pick up hides from the slaughter house ..

I hope there is some mustard on those bad boys !

For last night's dinner we went back to Seventy Farenheit to try some more dishes from their menu.

Wife had a Mango salad to start followed by a White Snapper Green curry with noodles, I had garlic bread with cheese followed by a braised beef cheek with baby carrots and potatoes. Finished of sharing a caramelised apple on shortbread with ice cream. After our meal we moved upstairs to their rooftop lounge for some cocktails and chill-out music.

 

That snapper looks brill ! Do you recall the name of that dish ?

Brilliant show, used to watch it as a kid. Used to think Elly Mae was gorgeous. She died aged 81 in 2015.

Yep. Loved all the actors in that show.

But Ginger and Mary Ann were my comedy throbs. I think Mary Ann in those tight shorts is what got me hooked on hanging ass cheeks.

Oh my....

Nicely done. I like these step-by-step culinary guides.

It was worth the effort. A real treat.

Although over time it has become much more simple. As with most things there is a learning curve. Going about the task patiently makes it more enjoyable.

Homemade fries.....

Monkey Dog....

A couple of these will keep me very busy somewhere down the road....

tech is incredible. I've just purchased a Galaxy smart watch from Duty free.

I can call someone on the other side of the world and talk to them with a watch on my wrist. It measures all my heart rate etc and even tells me the quality of the sleep I had last night.

It also tracks and tells me when there's an unidentified Air tag near to me with an alert to my phone, which I find incredible as air tags are apple and my phone's an android.

Who knows what it'll be like in 5 years time.

Much of it will end up in the bin.

Most of these tech companies go tits up leaving those who were suckered into it holding the bag.

Society is going through tech gizmos like a two week millionaire goes through bar girls. Sometimes difficult to keep up with it all.

-----------------------

I remember when I graduated from H.S. My father gave me a very nice analog watch. I could tell he had put a lot of thought into and he was excited to give it to me. A happy memory for me actually.

Within a couple of years analog was history.

Wow!  Thanks for posting this Gord.....sad day for me as I am a big Moody Blues fan...wifey likes them too. She said their lyrics are easy to understand. Mike Pinder sadly left the group in 1978, after they recorded the album " Octave" He did not want to tour, Dec 1978 at the Oakland Coliseum Arena was the first time I ever saw them. Justin Hayward, John Lodge, Graeme Edge and Ray Thomas were all there. They let Patrick Moraz do that tour when Pinder did not want to go out with them.  They were great that night.....just a great band live. 

Difficult to believe guys. 

Their music is deeply ingrained. 

So thankful to have been able to enjoy, appreciate and sing their music.

I had it for almost a year, so I can commiserate with you. 
Luckily I had access to copies amongst of morphine in the form of Morphine Slow release tablets, (MST) Oramorph liquid and Paracetamol which was reasonably effective in reducing the pain to manageable levels. 
I went to specialist who wanted to inject my spine and other areas with something or other, however I’m a bleeder so they wouldn’t inject me as they were worried I might bleed into my spinal column which could cause paralysis in my lower regions, so it was just a case of wait until the nerves reduced the inflammation by themselves and no Ibropufren as I’ve had heart attacks so that ruled it out. 

Good luck. 👍

When I experienced the most serious bout of this (they call it many different things, basically herniated disk) Doc gave me steroid pills and muscle relaxant. Then I used only tylenol or ibuprofen.

The objective is reduce the inflammation (release pressure on the nerve). Then allow time to heal. Over time it worked - in conjunction with posture adjustments, forced walking (blood flow is very important even if painful), along with lower back exercises and weight reduction).

I still have periods of tightness. This will probably something that will always be there as we age. But managing it is very doable. Not doing so is not an option. The pain and discomfort is just too much to bear.

Dedicated to BM @Aqualung....
