    Mount Rushmore

    Mrs Shelbeam and I have been, had breakfast in the restaurant looking at the "faces" Then went on to Rapid City....a bit like the film North by Northwest. The restaurant in the film isn't the real one, nor is there an airstrip above the monument!

    People you can't believe how old they are

    Len Cariou who plays Tom Sellecks dad in Blue Bloods (Henry and Frank Reagan) is only 5 years his senior! (84v79 yrs) This could be a good research topic for those of us that have beggar all else to do in the close season!

    Name a shop that is closed in Teesside that you love to bring back.

    Does anyone remember Deans in Bishopton Lane Stockton? {It was an old fashioned toy shop late 50's -60's)) I used to get off the No 8 bus in the high street and run round the corner just to look in the window especially at the Hornby Dublo stuff! It sold cycles and fireworks as well. Ah memories!

    My favourite Albums from 1970

    Got to be the Stones.. "Get Yer Yas Yas Out" played very loudly. Quote "Charlies good tonight" and " I've bust a button on my trousers.........." Secondly Chicago 11 with 25 or 6 to 4 on it played not so loudly!

    Alert Sounded Over Lockdown Scams Targeting Vulnerable

    Coincidentally, had three separate emails today, all three saying my virus protection was about to expire etc. Not very convincing , from "McAfee" "Norton" and something called "Total AV protection" (which I've not heard of before) All scams as I don't use any of them. So be aware.
