have I missed something? Where is Rusty? i miss his insightful comments

[Rosemary]

Funny, I was thinking about Russ this morning. Wonder how he is? Anyone in his geographcal neighbourhood?

[doganjo]

I was thinking about him too. Wonder if he's done what he said and gone offline?

[HappyHippy]

I've done my mad stalker routine  According to the member log he was here on 11th October, so he's still around. Russ wouldn't leave without saying cheerio, I'm sure he said that before  but it's not like him not to have much to say 

[Sandy]

If someone says something a bit riskey or politicle he will be back!! Hi Rustyme Bet you just read this

[Rosemary]

He's waiting for Tuesday till Young George does his comprehensive spending review, then he'll let rip.

hello everyone .... I am still around , just been busy lately plus ... I have also gone into 'super' grumpy old man mode of late , so thought I had better keep my trap shut  (for once !!) . I think it may have something to do with turning 53 yesterday . I wasn't looking forward to this year , as I lost my Mum  when she was 53..... These things play on the mind in the background I think !!
 Anyway , not gone offline as yet , although I am a few steps nearer to doing so , and I will definitely say  proper bye bye's when I do slide off into the obscurity that is the 'off grid ' life .
 Talking Of George Osbourne though ... they are cutting back even more money from the welfare state , stating that it needs to be done because of the problem we are in due to the Labour government . Well as much as I hated that idiot that was here before and the mass murderer before him , I don't think it can all be laid at their doorstep . The whole world is going down the pan ...FAST .
 Osbourne is now setting up a hit squad to detect fraud in benefits claimants , I wonder if this hit squad could check out the 650 liars , crooks , thieves and swindlers that inhabit westminster ?
 If they really wanted to get us out of debt , all they have to do is get us out of the EU . After we have had every penny in monies for grants and 'benefits' from the EU we still pay over £60 billion  a year to be part of the corrupt dictatorship that is the EU . That amount of money is set to go up even more as they are going to bring in an EU tax, (to fund their outrageous wages and bonuses , pensions  and absolute theft of OUR money),  that we will pay on top of what we do already .
 I did say I am a 'super' grumpy old man now !!
Anyway , I am suffering at the moment . I zapped my back sneezing a week ago , and I am getting unbelievable spasms in the lower back all the time now .... crippling me . Still doing the 6 mile round trip to the land everyday , albeit swearing 'loudly' everytime my back zaps me .
 I hope everyone is keeping well and although I may not be on here all the time at the moment now , I do still watch to see what is getting on .
 Take care everyone
 
cheers

Russ

Glad you're still here 

[doganjo]

That's ma boy!  Keep complaining, Russ - that's what keeps us 'oldies' going!  I'm a grumpy old lady - but a lot grumpier and a lot older than you!

[Sandy]

I knew you where there all the time, I felt your presentce  As you get older you begin to realise WHY older people are grumpy, I am getting grumpier by the day I have a bad back too but it plays tricks and makes me fall over (absoluty NOTHING to do with WHiskey!!)
