There's also Bland in West Yorkshire.

And even a very Bland MP

:-D :-D

Blandford seems a nice place, after all it's got the Royal Signals museum there

which was mentioned on one of the antiques hunting programs...a few weeks ago

Wow happy or what.....this is the Bland thread...so what about Blandford in Dorset that's a nice place....well never been there but looks like it might be nice

Cheer up, Dermot, if you're a Christian, death ought not to be feared as 'the winner'.

Here's something to raise your spirits - ha ha, no pun intended.

:-D :-D :-D ;-) ;-)

The lives of 'great' people from the past should remind the rest of us how brief is immortality. In the end, death is & always will be the winner.

Cheerful!

was watching Pointless , t 'other evening and a question on the Period table came up


I was thinking of adding a few more..........like Anarexium, Delirium, and ad Nausium came to mind............

The Berlin wall was built to prohibit residents from leaving.

The proposed American/Mexican wall intends to stop people coming in.

OH sometimes sings that Bob. :-D

Well, he calls it singing. ;-) :-S

You and I both, JoyLouise, :-D :-D

Bob, that brings back very fond memories :-D

I was watching 'The Alamo' this afternoon and this song also brought back memories ;-)

"Ghost riders in the sky"

Keep on running (Spencer Davis) Allan.

I have that record (!) somewhere.

Gawd, I think I'm getting on a bit. :-D :-D :-D

I do indeed, JoyLouise :-D :-D

Of course,sooner or later, the road must end.

Hopefully, not for a long time yet ;-) :-D :-D

Ooh Allan, you're a Paul Simon/Garfunkel fan ..... Slip slidin' away .....

Here's a song to gee you up:

Keep right on to the end of the road,
Keep right on to the end.

Though your way be long,
Let your heart be strong .....

Do you think this is quite apt for this long and (I hope) ongoing thread?

Good on ya Allan. :-D

Slip sliding away :-D

If I wanted the Thread gone altogether, I'd just delete my opening post :-D :-D

However, it still seems to provide a sort of refuge from other threads that degenerate into almost personal abuse...although the word 'abuse' may be a little harsh ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Haven't had a mars bar butties for years...and the thread slipped to the next page again so thought I'd mention it....as much as Allan wants it to slip away no doubt

Our group of girls used to have school lunches for two terms of the year but during the summer term we used to take our own.

My favourite school lunch was Friday's. We had baked fish (never had battered anything at school), peas and mashed potatoes (our school never did chips either), followed by either ginger or chocolate pudding and white sauce. Yum yum.

We went through phases of packed lunches, at one stage Mars bar butties, which I liked, another was honey, sultana and chopped walnut butties.

All still eaten by me.

There is nothing anyone has put in front of me that I won't try. Some things I love, others I tolerate.

I never had school lunches once I went to high school :-D

I had packed lunches, and my favourite was on Tuesdays when I had a small pork pie and tomato sandwiches :-D

Please, AnnC, this is supposed to be a bland thread, not a technicolour yawn :-0

School lunches, Ann. :-D

yuk - throws up over thread

I like rice, sago, tapioca and semolina puddings and love porridge.

One of my grandfathers used to love tripe cooked in milk.
