Forgive me father for I have binned ( blame Jem for that one )

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

I once had a manager working for me in Yeovil with whom I took an instant dislike. In my defence, I was rarely wrong when it came to riff-raff & hoi polloi.


I discovered later that he was a personal friend of the managing director.

Anyway, he turned out to be an alcoholic, gambling addict & womanizer.
I decided that he must have some hold over his friend the MD

Sad to say, he ran off with the head cashier(MD's wife) and a week's takings. He had pancreatic cancer, sclerosis of the liver and lung cancer & died 6 weeks afterwards.

I forgot to mention, going back to GUmbuds BINNED comment on SOLO's post.


He had a marvellous sense of humour, his saving grace.
In his office, he sported 3 bins, 2 small & 1 very large.

The small ones were labelled, Head Office, Regional Office. The 3rd and largest was emblazoned with the words
POST FROM ROBERT.

THAT MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD.

I went to his funeral, well-attended and learned a lot about the other side of his character, funny, generous & loyal to his close friends.

I was right about him, yet totally wrong.

For Solo

forgot to remember to forget her
I can't seem to get her off my mind
I thought I'd never miss her
But I found out somehow
I think about her almost all the time
The day she went away
I made myself a promise
That I'd soon forget we ever met
But something sure is wrong
'Cause I'm so blue and lonely
I forgot to remember to forget

Poem appreciated Robert

Only ever had one person take a dislike to me and as my Senior she was in a position to cause me real grief and believe me when I say, in the days when you had no come back she caused me real grief at every opportunity.

One of us had to go and that's when you knew who your mates were but it was a waiting game for pay back

She suffered badly from piles and when the opportunity finally arose her tube of Anusol was swapped for carefully disguised toothpaste. When the screaming stopped she got the message.

I always laugh now when I see someone suggests using Anusol for bags under eyes

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Hold on, I thought you had to grin and bin it
Have you ever played Polo

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

You know about ANUSOL for bags under the eyes.

I thought that the Queen Mum & I were the sole owners of that phrase

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Lost me on Anusol!
