Probably wouldn't go under the Clyde's bridges, and even if they tried, kids would be dropping bricks on 'em.Quote:

I just know you're all checking. :)
Provided you don't put it on inside out :doh:
My dad told me about when his brother once came to stay for a week, and brought his new girlfriend with him. She was a total slob. Every morning she came downstairs wearing the same white t shirt, which accumulated more and more ketchup stains down the front as the week wore on.
Then one morning she came down in another white t shirt, this one apparently stain free - until she took her cardigan off...
That's what I doQuote:

But there is a label sewn on the inside at the back of the neck of all the shirts I have. The only time I rummage around looking for labels at the side near the base is to check the washing and ironing details.
I always twig that my shirt is on back to front when I struggle with the buttons.
I worry more about people that wear their trousers back to front.
handy if you have diarrhoea :booty:
I see those 'Insulate Britain' idiots got sent down. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknew...?ocid=msedgntp
"Insulate Britain" spokesperson Liam Norton lives in a "E" (energy efficiency) rated flat, apparently he can't afford to pay for loft insulation.
I suppose he sees that this campaign will get it done for free if successful.
it only costs 3/4 hundred... less maybe if a small flat. mine was done twice free of charge. would freeze yir bollocks off in that loft now lol
still got birds in it tho; guess its warmer than outside on a tree

Customer of mine wants one of these to go with his Chow and his Tibetan Mastiff. His wife says no.
Daft bugger
My wife’s boss got a St Bernard. It’s now fully grown, and doesn’t like being left alone. It literally ate half the sofa.
lol - I bet Bernie Winters never had that problem. Or maybe he did.
I imagine Schnorbitz quite liked being left on his own. As would anyone who spent most of their day being told what to do by Bernie Winters.Quote:

looks like they got he wrong age group.
I am in my sixties and I'm fine driving unless it happens to be during my afternoon nap time :lol:
I can't see that succeeding. There is no basis as retired drivers don't clog the roads up during rush hours and are in a lower accident group. It would cost whoever brought it in an awful lot of votes.Quote:

Just the kind of nonsense you can expect to see in the Express. A comment by one reader tells you all you need to know about this particular rag and its readers:
"How many youngsters can match my driving record of 56 years with no points?" Duh, I'm sure the answer is none. :rolleyes:
ive got no points, no speeding tickets or parking fines in, erm... a long time and many 100's of 1000's of miles driving any thing from little to biggg:eek: dangerous goods, trailers, you name it....:ner: ive not been driving 56 years but my hairstyle has;)Quote:

I can get a bit drowsy sometimes so to keep my energy levels up I have a bag of Werther Originals in the door pocket :) Keeping the window wound down and ditching the tartan travel rug helps too.
I find a regular jolt from a tens machine attached to my knackers keeps me alert :lol:.
I used to do that, but bladder incontinence has made the jolts too jolty :eek:Quote:

:D Bob did have some quality one liners. Such as "I'm amazed how many people know where I'm from. When they walk past I hear them mutter 'Kent' under their breath"Quote:

That tray in the bottom of the scooter doesn't look big enough for that slab of beer. Clearly not designed by a Brit.Quote:

Started getting milk delivered this week, two pints twice a week. Comes in bottles just like in the olden days.
Will have to remember to put the empties out though. Not done that since about 1980. Also forgot to ask how much it costs, hopefully it's not more expensive than the corner shop.
thats the battery hole, and that case of beer is orange juice:ner:Quote:

Let us know how you get on with yours, and if you decide to get your bread off Two-bun Ted from Teddington.
The mutt is off to the vet's shortly to have a small lump on her nut checked out. I expect it'll need surgery to remove it, so that'll be another big bill!
hopefully nothing serious mate...Quote:

The three minute 'consultation' cost me fifty quid and surgery estimates for the little bump are "between £500 and £600". That large extra home by the sea has to be paid for I guess :rolleyes:.Quote:

Hopefully it's just a cyst
The folded scooter. It's heavier than I had hoped tho.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...50dfeee845.jpg
I think that's probably what it is. It's floating around under the skin and not attached to the bone beneath. No more pets after this one!Quote:

I seem to remember it being a Staffy?
If so; I understand that "fatty lumps" (lipomas) are quite common on the breed as they get older.
Get the vet to have a bit of a hunt for other lumps while removing it - not a big problem. You did the right thing going to the vet.
I was talking to the wife of a, retired, local vet. One of his gun dogs needed looking at and he was furious about the way vet fees have gone up since he retired (not sure why he didn't just do it himself though :scratch:)
Yeah, Staffy/Boxer cross and she's had cysts removed before.Quote:

I reckon vets are in cahoots with pet insurance companies to artificially inflate treatment costs to frighten owners into insuring their pets. Next time you visit make a note of how many pens, mugs, baseball caps etc you can see with pet insurers' names on them. And check out the big sticker on that helicopter hiding round the back.Quote:
