PHONES:

I got an answering machine. Now callers can hear a busy signal when they call and I'm out.

"Hello this is my answer machine. If you're looking to buy weed, wait for the beep and press the Hash Key."

"Hi. If you're a burglar casing the place, we can't come to the phone right now. We're cleaning our weapons."

"Hi, I'm probably home. I like to check out callers I don't like. Leave a message and if I don't call back, well you can guess why ..."

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Well, it’s good to have a few stalwarts back on board has been quite quiet of late.
I feel for your loss Jem it’s a growing whammy of getting on in years.
I have taken to avoiding funerals, I want to remember my peers as full of life, mebbe thats the point of celebratory send offs..

I mean no offence & certainly not flippant like my pals in the old Working men’s club near here . Within a year of joining them, they had all passed on, ,mostly anyway
There was George, who used to beat his wife, who had the last laugh when she inherited 3 houses from HIS mother.
Harry, a Reggie Kray lookalike, he regularly downed 11 pints lunchtime too., Neville who kept tabs at the bar
David who regularly siphoned off the pound charge for visitors on games nights.It was all wasted on the one armed bandits.
Harry Taylor aged 94, who helped me compile a centenary book of the club.. He had a photographic memory.
My ex SIL father, Bert. He had been a force to be reckoned with in the docks, THE shop steward, hde also served as club chairman for25 years. When his wife committed suicide he moved in with Grace next door and they lived until they were both 96. The club had closed & they just didn’t get out of bed again.
I have lost my drift but enjoyed remembering my mates, more later.
