	The electric pump on a Morris 1300 needed a good kick every now and again to get the tick, tick, tick of the pump working. This was due to the mounting point, on the rear sub-frame exposing the pump to all the dirt, muck and water from the road ... ____________ It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

	I talked with a colleague today and we were talking about age. She thought I was 28!!! People think I'm only 42... And I often find a 5% or 10% discount on restaurant bills, without having asked for one. So it's either the "US Navy Retired" pin I wear on my shirt collar, or they see all the grey hair and assume I'm over 65 (not quite yet). But I won't make a fuss, a discount is a discount. And I'll probably eat there again.... ____________ Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired

	Hehehe :-)) My local male hairdressers, that also has lady snippers, which is really nice, has a discount on Fridays for Pensioners i.e. over 65. I have to ask for it, not get offered it, and I'm sure some think I'm trying it on. I'm not sure if I'm flattered or peeved .... p.s. I do know Julies real age, and no, she really doesn't look it, and that is an honest genuine compliment.

	Runs me about $14.00 for a hair and beard trim. I still have plenty of hair, but let's just say there's a lot more snow on the mountain than there used to be. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty." As it is kitten, so shall it be done.
