I think everyone has a soft spot for the Beatles - might look one of their CDs out now

Re: This is amazing
Bless you. Yesterday, was definitely a salt over the shoulder day. I made one batch of marmalade and forgot to put enough sugar in it. The second batch boiled over and I mean over everything including the floor. When it came to tea time hubs said that because of the match he would go and get a pizza as I was a jabbering wreck after the marmalade had turned against me.When he got back with the pizza he apologised for being so long but the girl had dropped the pizza as she was putting it into a box. I said that this was not a good day and he turned to me and said. Yes, well you know who died today and I said NO? and he said Mrs Thatcher, and I thought WELL that's what it was all about then.
Either St. Peter was busy vacuuming and forgot to keep an eye on marmalade or The devil was laughing so much it made the pizza fall.

No, no no Cate, Karen darlings - you're getting it wrong again. Brighton had a reputation for entertaining businessmen (and their 'Secretaries' from Friday evening till the following Monday morning - nudge, nudge, wink, wink). Some years ago when I used to work in Lunnen and commute it was fun picking out the businessmen and their secretaries on the Friday evening commuter train and watching those same businessmen with their eyes half way down their cheeks on the early Monday morning commuter train.09-04-2013, 11:51 AM
