Had me scratching my head then until I found this... After approvals, the archaeologists excavated two of the Easter Island heads to reveal their torso and truncated waist. The heads had been covered by successive mass transport deposits on the island that buried the statue's lower half. These events enveloped the statues and gradually buried them to their heads as the islands naturally weathered and eroded through the centuries. https://www.forbes.com/sites/trevornace/2017/07/26/famous-easter-island-heads-have-hidden-bodies/?sh=2bc3113f8041

My bloody left toe swelled up like a beauty and I thought I had broken it, how? fucked if I knew, I showed the wife as it was sore as fuck and I could hardly walk, she had a look and said that could be gout!! Typical he man me said "No way women!!!!..." so I headed off to the hospital to get it checked out, showed the nurse and told him I think I have broken my toe, he looked and said I don't think it's broken, that looks like gout my friend, had it x-rayed and sure enough, it was not broken but it was gout. Wife 1-0 Me...gulp, texed her and got the reply I expected " I BLOODY TOLD YOU IT WAS!!!..", double gulp by me Now I really have to watch my weight and be careful what I eat but the swelling has gone down now, the nurse issued me with a Care Ibuprofen cream to put on it but speaking around to people for tips who have or had gout and two I got worked out a million. One was bathe your foot in a bowl of hot water with salt for around 30 minutes and another tip our son gave me was to put Vicks Vapor Rub on it, I have been doing that now for 2 weeks and the swelling has gone, thank fuck. Can't really say it's my weight as I have kept check of that and I am now under 12 stone, too much beer can cause it too but I know it's not that as I only really drink wine and seldom drink beer. I don't know if anybody in here has experienced it but ll I can say it's worse than a bloody toothache.

Brilliant reading and photos that, I do have an addiction if you can call it that of old black & white photos of time gone by, they haunt me in a funny way, seeing those photos from 1934 and the rest gave me the shudders of time gone by and lucky enough we are still all here after the Carnage of WWll.

Another day out for our daughter doing her walks around Edinburgh, yesterday was another trek around the Edinburgh landmark, Arthur's Seat.

@MUFC, why did you send me this as a private message? you should have posted it in here I presume As an afterthought, nearly all of us have mobile phones nowadays so we don't have to do that anymore.

Good luck buddy, I remember when I was stuck being a security officer and doing all shifts and hours under the sun, moved around all the time in different jobs from factories, offices, shops to building sites, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee and as far away as Wick. Then I had a chance of getting a permanent position security-wise in a building in Edinburgh that had companies which were banks, solicitors etc but it was a permanent position so I took it, 12-hour shift work which included weekends but I was happy with that. I plodded along for 4 years and then I was made a security supervisor in that building and then a position came up in the company that were the landlords of the building as a supervisor with them so I took that position, from there I worked my way up from being security building supervisor to management running the security and building in general. Bit of a rant there but it goes to show you in life if you get stuck into anything you can achieve something in life so I reckon you have a chance by the sound of it in doing the same, best of luck and I hope you go far in the job.

As far as me and the wife know we have never caught it but mind you we have never took a test so if we did have it anytime we are the last people to know.

Banana Bob coming on well, will soon be with we Kaiden and Puddin.

A lot of catching up to do concerning this author and her books The Hunt for Jack Reacher by Diana Capri, just starting her first novel Don't Know Jack (2012) and sent off to Amazon for the 2nd book on Reacher Jack in the Box (2012) then after that its catch up time until I get to Jack in the Knife (2022). Looks like our son and daughter will be getting their instructions from me for Birthday/Christmas presents for their old man.

Our daughter's update on Puddin when she is in bed TRYING to sleep. Puddin still likes to sit on my chest Puddin forgets he's fricking bigger Puddin also likes to sit facing out so his chocolate starfish is practically up my nose because his tail is not a normal tail it curls up and over. Puddin also bunny hopped off my frigging chest after this photo. I swear I have paw indents on my chest and possible fractures
