We’ve received the form saying Ferretfingers is entitled to concessionary travel in Tyne & Wear

Now I have to fill in the application form for Nexus with passport photo, proof of address and send it off with that form and an sae! 

Not sure why they need another proof of address when it's on the form from North Tyneside Social Services but who are we to question the ways of beauraucracy.

Or even the spelling!

Another pair of Thunderthighs's pyjama bottoms have bitten the dust.

We now have half a dozen old fashioned men's pyjama tops looking for a good home or use - cotton or polycotton xxl mostly blue. Any takers/ideas?

Darklady  Can't you get some of those 'lounge' pants to go with the tops?  Or is it essential that everything matches?  Or pass them on to lasses who don't wear pj bottoms.

Bentonbag  For Thunderthighs I suspect things must match - also the lounge pants are knitted jersey and these are woven smooth so they look/feel very different (Ferretfingers wears the lounge pant sort).  If you know of any lasses who'd have them they're welcome.

My sister, a retired nurse, says they are useful for bed-ridden elderly gentlemen - but I don't know any of those either

He slept naked but for underpants last night - the bold boy!

Darklady  There's plenty of elderly gents at St Oswalds & the like who might be very happy to have them specially if they're so soft. x

Bentonbag  Yipee Sainsbury's come up trumps with suitable coloured lounge pants in woven cotton £12.50 for two pairs, but that's better than buying two new pairs of pyjamas.

Darklady  Marvelous! I knew you'd find the answer! 😁 XXXX

There's a strip at the top of my Fb page asking for my 'phone number 'to help secure your account and more"!  

And more being what I wonder - cold calls perhaps?   

They can go and fornicate elsewhere.

Mr Minor  Not on mine.  They know cats can't use phones.  Some were shocked when I started using the iPad.

McChurch  For such purposes one needs a mythical identity.  Address (preferably in Gaelic or Welsh) post code that nearly matches and telephone number with an STD code that nearly matches.  What larks!

Bentonbag  Ooo I am tempted, I know plenty of Welsh place names - and do have a redundant 'phone number (unless BT have reassigned it to someone else)

Thinking about it I could translate this address into Welsh:

Trideg Allt-y-Plas, Tyfasytref, Castell Newydd Aber Tyne, Tirgogleddyhumber.
