(H mentioned 'handling my derrière', Bisp. ) The very devil he did ! 😠 Sounds like he needs taking around the back ! I don’t mean by you of course ! 🙄

How is Fraise keeping , do you hear from him ? I put a note on 'ere the other day, FAO Lil, asking him to tell Mares/Fraise to come back but he (Lil) will probably ignore it. He’s probably busy growing carrots in the greenhouse 🤔

I'm on the mend mate , stopped smoking, cut back on the booze ,stopped gambling and beating the wife . Walking and swimming as well . So I'm all set for another 20 years 🤭 How is Fraise keeping , do you hear from him ? Well he's fine mate I do hear from him at least once or twice a week he seems to like dressing up in his licra gear and cycling up and down the promenade. He's now a lifestyle guru as well , lazy buggers still not working 😕 much

Happy to hear that Harry 👍 It won't last, Bisp - especially if he's cutting back on the other three. He'd do better getting rid of the kids........ Did you know one of 'em supports Chelski & the other Barcebleedinlona? YE GODS! Cutting back on the booze is a bad sign murph as I’ve told you …think he needs to put in a transfer request ?

Anyway day before yesterday I called Lloyd's bank to pay off my card balance from my barclays curreny account. Only to be told by 3 different people its not possible, this was after 20 minutes and 3 lots of security questions. I registered how anoying this process had been and thought as usual nothing will happen. Yesterday they called me back to say it should have been possible and 3 of the team were talking bollocks And please have £40 for my distress 🤗 Ta Very nice, H......... ..........and you'll no doubt be putting those 40 nice crisp little smackers towards buying a nice bottle of Laphr Laff Lafph that peaty scotch to send to Bisp to welcome him back on to the MB..... woncha??!! Good man! Laphroaig ….all donations gratefully accepted ….hic ! 🥃🥃🥃🥃

Stormtroopers with mortarboards & trowels instead of death-ray guns: "Right - Let's plaster 'em to death, boys! - Hoo-ha" (Is that what they call them? Mortarboards? What they put the sploppy stuff on. Not the sort you wear.) PS: Did the van have 'No job too small' painted on the side?

Oh, yes, I know what I've been meaning to ask you for the last 10 years, Bisp...... How does one pronounce 'Bispham'? Is it the equivalent of 'Bis F--am'... or 'Bis P--am' ??? Don't know if it's a hard 'p' or a soft one. Do you get my drift? Or possibly dripht??? TIA xxx

Not at all, Commander, Sir.............. you're a genius, and waaaaaaaay too modest. Are you catching up on 'ere, yet, sir? - I'll nudge the current gardening thread for you in a mo. And are we sunning ourselves on the beach in Lanzers at the moment, or residing in the magnificent baronial pile at Bispham? In sunny Bispham I’m afraid , We came home from Lanzarote when the virus first broke and the lockdown was starting , we managed a couple of months at the end of the year but have not been back since , not sure at the moment when we will get back out there . Well if we all get let loose again as from 21st June, Bisp, will you be able to go back to Lanzers soon after that? It isn't as though you only want to go as a hol, is it, more like long-stay in your other home over there. Ahhhhhhh........ (**wipes away a tear**) - I remember the good old days when you first bought your place over there and would be gone for months --- as soon as your flight had left for your spot in the sun Okie and I used to move straight into Bispham Manor and avail ourselves of your well-stocked wine cellars, besides offering 'very reasonable rates' for B&B stays for the town's overflow of illegal immigrants. As Arthur Daley would have said, "Nice little earner, Terence."

I’ve sent him a msg and he’s read it but not replied ….please him self I suppose . Not sure about when we will go out to Lanzarote ? I’ve got to get this residency thing sorted out before we do as you can only stay for 90 days at a time otherwise .

Pre-Covid me and the missus used to go out to a hotel in Playa Blanca for one or two weeks at least once a year. We love it out there and are looking forward to when things finally open up safely.

Costa Teguise , it’s nice and quiet there never too busy .Playa Blanca is very nice too ….there was hardly anything in Playa Blanca when we first started visiting Lanzarote .It’s grown a lot in the past fifteen years or so.

Oh ok. We've been up to Costa Teguise a couple of times, as you say it's a very nice place and just that little bit quieter. Last time we were in Lanzers there were literally hundreds of (what looked like) new villas just standing empty.

I know there has been a lot of building there over the last few years .A few years ago they had built so many new houses that you could pick up some real bargains , I know there were three bedroomed houses for sale well under €50,000, they were soon snapped up I suppose .There was a lot of overdevelopment on the island in the last decade or so far too many homes and complexes were built , then the bubble burst leaving a lot unsold and many unfinished …they never will be finished either .Then there was a big fiddle with local councilors in the major resorts taking bribes in return for unlimited planning permission …very illegal and many of the councilors and developers got sent down.The problem is now that many of these buildings have been unoccupied for a number of years and are looking the worse for wear with graffiti etc.and squatters …not very welcoming in some parts of the Island .

They were the western end of the Playa Blanca area I think probably around 2 kms from the harbour area. As you come down the main road from "the north" there's a big roundabout, and I seem to remember they were in an area off to the right about 1 km along that road. You're right though, in the number of years that we've been visiting the island these villas and apartments don't look any more occupied than when we first visited.
