Then there was a woman who had a stall in the market and she had a pet squirrel that she was always cuddling!!
I don’t do rodents either

Re: Have You Ever Had A Worm Put Down Your Back?

I recall seeing the top layer of my sandwich moving, in the ship's galley, long ago.

Turned out to be a Bombay six wheeler!

(a local name for a cockroach/beetle - the size of a small mouse!)

Yes, Ted, we called them Bombay Runners in the navy. So big that if you wanted to stamp on one, you had to actually aim and pick your spot on its back!

Did you mean the 'ship's' galley rather than the 'shop's' galley?

Heh heh! I think I know what you mean.

Was just saying, Ted, because I noticed from your profile that you were in the MN. I was in the RN and, like you, in the communications branch, but in Electronic Warfare.

The brother did that - once - when he was 10yrs and I was 4yrs. Not saying what my reaction was - suffice it to say he never did it again.

He found a lovely woman who he loves dearly and they had about half a dozen children. When you have such a big family you don't have to worry about being liked and can spend your days posting dad jokes on social media.
