"It intrigues me that such poignant, heart felt sentiments were written by a funny little lad like Willy Nelson yet he will remain one of my all time favourite composers. The first time Patsy heard his rendition of this song she thought it was awful.…"

Every year our grandaughter, Amy, buys a pumpkin and comes around to our house where she spent a great deal of her childhood, to carve out a Halloween pumpkin for her Nan. Here is this year's finished item. She is very arty and I think she has a real talent.See More

TedLancaster posted a blog postNostalgia
Stewart Miller's superb pictures of Scarborough were very nostalgic for me. I was born and grew up here. The picture of the hungry gull shows the very spot where, as an adventurous but somewhat misguided young varmint I used to play 'depth charge' at this time of the year. It wasn't long after the end of World War ll and fireworks, which had been non existent for some time, were just coming back onto the market. Children's games had for a while been war-combat based, racing around with arms…See More
TedLancaster commented on The Crafter's blog post Getting the lyrics wrong"At one point in my weird and nefarious career path I found myself running a small pub in Smethwick, The Locomotive Engine.

- Tell us about yourself, including hobbies and interests
- My long, winding career path has taken many strange twists. At 12 my first Saturday job was as a booking-clerk in a taxi office, booking taxis, selling petrol from a hand worked pump and being general dogsbody, all for 8 bob a day.
My first full time job in the summer hols was as an ice cream seller in a seaside parlour and waiter in the Italian restaurant both belonging to the Jaconelli family in Scarborough. I worked there, on and off, for several years.
I joined the Royal Navy in 55 as an Artificer Apprentice but decided after 3 years that it was not for me. On the dole back in Scarborough I was fortunate to be offered a job in the dole office working as a pay clerk where I saw an ad for laboratory assistants in ICI Wilton, near Redcar. I worked there for two years till I was accepted into teachers' college in Brum. While here I formed a rock music band and played full time at the Rum Runner night club till 1968.
I ran the Locomotive Engine pub in Smethwick till the early 70s, bought a small shop which nearly bankrupted me, formed a rock and roll band duo singing and playing guitar with my wife playing drums, went back into teaching kids with emotional difficulties, trained as a psychotherapist and ran the Dudley Hypnotherapy Center as an evening and weekend venture for 14 years, retired from teaching in 2004 to run a small home recording studio to amuse myself writing and recording poetry and music.
Other interests and pursuits included being night leader in the Samaritans organisation and actor and musical director for the Citizens' Theater group at the Robin Hood pub in Brierley Hill.
The night leader's job is to be in bed at home waiting for a call from the night duty Sam in the call center. Then to get up and go to the assistance of anyone who has called in by telephone to the center requesting help. They may be vomiting, bleeding, violent and distraught but also very desperate to be helped.
The last performance I made for the Citizens was at the Birmingham Repertory Theater in 1983 in a two-handed play called 'Alas Poor Fred' as part of the 'Best of the Midlands Amateur Theater' production.

I have used Morrison's stores in many parts of the country and found the staff to be very friendly and co-operative. However, in my local Kidderminster store about a week ago there was an interesting offer on 'made to order' pizzas and I asked the serving lady for some help in choosing the toppings.
She replied quite disdainfully, 'I don't eat pizza so I wouldn't know.'
A younger lady came across and was very…

Hi Ted
I'm afraid the old chat page has now gone. We did put up a warning on the main website and on the chat page but I'm afraid you must have missed it.
But please do add your pictures and to our new Chat page - we have a Photo Gallery, Video Section, Blogs, Groups and Message Board.
We look forward to seeing all your lovely pictures.
