algy Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Retired. Reformed Repressed. Receding. Receptive. Reckless. Reclining. Seriously:- Born 1940, a Warringtonian and Lancastrian and proud of it. Married to a good wife with a son and daughter, both happily married. Three lovely grand daughters. Enjoy anything mechanical never really grown up. Amature photographer (very). This must sound awful, but found a new aim in life since joining this forum, Hmm! that is sad. Long distance Liverpool supporter also with a leaning toward Wolverhampton Wanderers - Boy can I pick em'. My condolences Victor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry hayes Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Eighty, but almost juvenile in my head. March to a different drummer to most people. Tall, dark and handsome - a gypsy once told me, but I wish I hadn't gone to spec-savers. Ex magician; police inspector; 2 years in Korea; 3 years at Joe soaps. Now keen gardener; golfer and some magic; Always wanted to be poet and now I are one. Two grown up boys, which also makes me a banker. To a fault, I always try and see the other persons point of view. Old Orford born; now Grappenhall - shortly to make an up or down move.. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
