Yes, some people assume my '59' is a patch when it is a club. Although I belong to a few motorcycle and car clubs they are the only club where people have come to see me since the amputation!

I've had the privilege of spending most of my working life supporting people with learning disabilities and I've met many Hells Angels who've been very helpful. One such person whom I asked about it said that he empathised with people with learning disabilities as fellow 'outcasts' from straight society.

I was once asked to be a “bingo caller.” I have no idea on what the code is any more than CB radio? So I made it up. Lol, let’s just say as I had complaints over the 88 & 11 which were the only two I felt inappropriate that came up? That and “Kelly’s eye?”

I've never played bingo and I'm not into gambling anyway. What's the point of giving 'names' to numbers? Why don't they just say the numbers?

I thought it was stupid too. Neither do I gamble. I think it’s to help with the call out for the familiars? A little like the police doing VIctor Foxtrot Tango? On a number plate. Just to clarify?

Oh I see! When I was a kid we used to go Margate for our holidays. Whenever I saw bingo games taking place I thought it looked boring :rofl:

I've always been proud of my fluency with the police alphabet: that's what comes of being brought up on 'The Sweeney'.

I’m really no expert on either the police official clarification on the alphabet or this Bingo stuff. But I was brought up round the “bingo culture.” Lol, I thought the remake movie of the Sweeny, alright? But hey, let’s take that one to the other topic.

I wouldn't be able to cope with anyone re-making 'The Sweeney' 😱
 
Satan’s little helper said:
Indeed. Looks like ideas are running out? “Remakes?” Rarely, there is a “gem” that makes you rethink the original.

I agree. I like the Donald Sutherland version of 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' - but that's more a 're-imagining' than a straight re-make.

I thought it would be interesting to see how people's day had gone before they have tea/evening meal.

I will go first. The heat seems to be affecting me. I had hoped for 7+ or - 1 but got a naughty 10.9 so injected and waiting an hour. These dinosaur insulins take a while to kick in. This is where a Libre would be useful!

Hi, sorry, very late view of your post. It's now Oct. Have usually found, very hot weather, results in less insulin, re.T1.
I'm on the newish, CGM.....I've said what I thought, some months ago..
Anyway, I have done sim to you. If pre food blood sug, higher, than I'd like..I do inject for intended carbs, but wait , longer than the 10-15 mins, b4 eating. I'll even try walking....running..up n down stairs, sev times. .. or run on spot, just to try n bring hugs, down a bit .

Only went to bingo once on holiday with my parents but I thought it was "Old Age Pension" for 65

Tonight 5.4, wipe the floor, and I had an extra 50gm CHO for physio at lunchtime.

I really know nothing about Bingo. All I know is it’s a sort of “lottery?” Was asked to do it as a favour as a caller when the “usual guy” couldn’t do it? (Sore throat, bad guts or just hacked off with the boredom?) Then found it really savage that I couldn’t get the “lingo” right? People take this stuff seriously. Though I clearly pronounced the numbers on the balls. They wanted the “legs eleven?” I felt like I’d stumbled into a “cult.”
 
A whopping 9.3 pre-dinner this evening I don't know where that came from but I wish
it hadn't. Cut the lawns this afternoon hopefully for the last time this year.

a quite resectable 5.8 tonight (before my evening meal) which was quite a few hours ago now

looking forward to the weekend
TC
