Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Why do they keep making films about the Titanic when everyone knows what happens in the end?I’ve made plenty of drop earrings in me day Pug, but never featuring testicles, I think they are best left hanging where nature intended.
Sorry to hear you suffer from arthritis Gumbud, my old dad was a martyr to it, can be very painful I hear. 35 years in Australia? didn’t realise you were there that long, obviously you have taken to the life, fair play to you.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Gumbud, hi.Thank you for your concern & good wishes. Thanks also to dear JEM, our unofficial Mentor & Leader.
Spitfire, good on ya.
Pug, without being paranoid, I don’t think you have ever acknowledged my existence. What do I have to do to get noticed.I think I could learn from a POLYMATH with the gift of eidetic memory Hi anyway.
BTW. I have resigned from my post as High Commissionaire for the Planet Greendor, I know believe I have been tampered with & intend to become silent on this matter, which I confess has caused me great embarrasment. It seems to have been a sinecure concocted by person or persons unknown.
On the subject of the unknown, I have been considering life & in particular a view on the traditional 3 score & ten.
In modern times 90 is the new 70. THe population is ageing at a TITANIC(*NB spitfire*) rate. Our government in 1948 launching the FREE NHS couldnt possibly have forecast the range & scope of illnesses & matching healing & care support & vast expense to keep the dream alive.
The words Straw & Camel's back should haunt us.
That is all all I have to say TODAY.
Happy WEDNESDAY chums.
BTW, I have been sat on my bum typing & all the while, about an hour, nurse Gillian has been on the phone, bless her.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
My Uncle Joe was a plumber but he used to drain swamps on the side, if he saw you using a wrong tool for a particular job he would say “No no Jem, never use a spoon to drain a swamp” Wise words from the old geyser, advice that would surely come in handy if I ever wanted to drain a swamp. “Swamp drainers wanted, must have own spoon” God them old lads really did talk in riddles.Is it any wonder I’ve been confused and mixed up all of my life? When I was a boy I would hear my mother and aunts talking in the kitchen “Poor Nellie buried her husband last week” Shock and horror for me, a picture of Nellie sneaking out to her back garden at midnight carrying a shovel to dig a big hole and bury yerman would spring into my tiny mind, did she kill him? maybe she poisoned him she made horrible stew, why won’t she let the undertaker bury him? something fishy going on there.
