Or if you do get down there to pick it up ... wondering what else you can do whilst you're down there. Ughh... True story: When the ADULT you're speaking to wasn't even born in the 19'anythings'. Like ... 1980 was last century and they've no experience of it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,647 Posted September 4 When the knees start talking. When you show no amusment from the the girly party line, come meet a friend ad at the back of magazines/papers and instead appraise the stairlift ads and souvenir plates instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In flesh-and-blood life I don't have a filter at the best of times, so you can only begin to imagine what goes on when something that's genuinely annoying/a social double-standard happens (and it could be inherited, my father was infamous for it!) And to be honest, it's great. I've hacked a lot of folk off, but ultimately that those who stick around appreciate it, and indeed by extension, me. Dylan Thomas famously penned "do not go quietly into that gentle night, rage, rage against the dying of the light". I'll probably be spending my final years trying to kick its crotch out whilst cursing in more than one language.

When young I would have ice on the inside of my windows at home and it never bothered me. I would add that you always need to take your glasses with you when you go out. Or you're always losing them at home, get new cheap pairs and end up with about 5 pairs around the house. Then, you always need them to read cooking instructions and can't find a pair or you find 3 of the 5 pairs are in the bedroom... and you've lost the other 2. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
