Aloe is listed in the Dictionary as Medicinal, but Sloe does not have such a
listing, only that it can be made into Sloe Wine. Now that "Could" be termed
as Medicinal :-)) Prefer Whiskey, Brandy and Rum personally :-))

1.. Monotonous talk filled with platitudes.
2.. Hypocritically pious language.
3.. The special vocabulary peculiar to the members of an underworld group;
argot.
4.. Cant See Shelta.
5.. Whining speech, such as that used by beggars.
6.. The special terminology understood among the members of a profession,
discipline, or class but obscure to the general population; jargon. See
Synonyms at dialect.

intr.v. cant·ed, cant·ing, cants
1.. To speak tediously or sententiously; moralize.
2.. To speak in argot or jargon.
3.. To speak in a whining, pleading tone.
Thanks Mike, you've done your good deed for the day

Thank you :-))

That's two bits of good news in five minutes.

Air Commodore Sims Commanding Officer of RAF Cosford and Mrs Sims, have
accepted the National Service (RAF) Association's invitation to attend and
review the Parade at RAF Cosford on National Service Sunday on June 26th. We
were to have the Lancaster Bomber for a fly past, but it is grounded for
essential maintenance for the VE Day celebrations, but we have a Spitfire
instead. (I prefer the Spitfire, we had half a dozen at Sandown last year
and they are something :-))

So there you are, any ex National Service Royal Air Force Gardeners out
there? (I do happen to know that Gardeners do come in all shapes and sizes
and backgrounds.) ;-) ;-) Come to Cosford for the weekend, accommodation in
a very good hotel has been arranged and coach travel has been organised.

Que net nannies now

No, but here's a gardener whose daughter was the chaplain at RAF Cosford
a couple of years back. Come to think of it, she's quite interested in
gardening, too.

New museum building going up. All our car parking gone :-((
I have two (at the moment, might be three) coaches going in, ? to where they
will park!!!! :-((

We had over 400 on parade last year, our first. Expecting up to 550 ex
National Servicemen, plus their families

from 1980.
