lurksalot Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Milt, much respect , you are one of the worlds 'doers' , much like Jim . people who 'do' for the right reasons dont get enough respect , so you can have as much of mine as you wish . Quote
MiltyG565 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I don't do things for respect; I do things because I feel I should. Thanks though Quote
MiltyG565 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 So you guys who were saying that I am a doer, and I deserve respect? Well, Peter, aka ubassman, is now driving to pick up the relay baton from BBBlackdog and drop it off to the UPS depot, as for some reason which we don't know yet, it wasn't collected this morning. I think Peter deserves our respect and admiration for his dedication, and if anybody wants to chuck a pound or 2 into the pot, we can sort him out with a nice little gift Quote

lurksalot Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 well done Donald , has it moved on now then ? Quote
MiltyG565 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 The other day, a nurse wanted to use the paper you sent me, Donald, as something to lean on to write some notes. I was like "No... you can use the desk that the paper is sitting on though...". I restrained myself from saying "No, actually that's a paper my friend in Scotland sent me because he got the bass player from Status Quo to play this bass that's going around the UK to raise money for Cancer Research UK, and I'm helping to organise and stuff, and also my blog is quoted in it *breeeaaattthhheeee*" Quote
