Wow -the Socialist Bible ! I read it -er-years ago.

[Theland1]

ruby27 - I never got to read my messages yesterday, so missed the play. Hopefully will get part two when it comes on. Thanks for letting me know.
I read the book a long time ago, and had a copy in the house which I gave away just a few years ago.
I though it was a sad and brilliant book.
I have visited Tressells grave, in Walton cemetry, just opposite Walton prison. The gravestone has his picture on it.
Thank you.

I remember you telling me that Wiz. After I finished work in February, I was offered a job contracting in Walton nick, fitting new steel framed windows to the cells. I got my security clearance, but I haven't felt able to take up the offer yet. Don't know if i rally fancy it.

Hi Theland. Perhaps you should move back now you've got a skinhead haircut! x

[Theland1]

Bathsheba - The sun has tortured my scalp since my haircut. I have now invested a few quid in a hat, and I don't care how stupid I look, I'm going to wear my hat when riding my bike! so there!

Wizard - You are forgiven my son!
