Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Speaking of angels.
The elders use to say that your guardian angel’s birthday is 40 days after you were christened, don’t know what the elders say in other religions, but I think we all have have one regardless of any religion. I know when I was born but not the date of my christening, that’s handy, never had to buy him/her/it a present, anyway what would you get? an CD of Paul McCartney and ‘Wings’
I always fancied my guardian angel to be a beautiful slim middle aged woman, not an inexperienced young dumb blond, experience is essential for the job, I don’t think I’d like to have a fella looking after me.
I imagine guardian angels to be related spirits, members of our deceased family who are assigned the job of protecting a living member of the family, whether that be as punishment because of some wrong doing while on earth, or as training for a promotion in the great beyond.
To me they are the ones who whisper in your ear when you have to make important decisions, they prod you into helping a beggar on the street with a few coins, tell you not to have that extra pint, when are you going to stop smoking, (I’m still waiting for the smokes to kill me, who said smokers die young) and stuff like that. On the other hand they could be you from a past life trying to help you not to make the same mistakes again, who knows, but I’m sure we are not alone as we walk through this life.
Whoever or whatever mine is it hasn’t failed me yet, after several scrapes with the grim reaper I’m still all in one piece. Yes I do believe in guardian angels, although I’d rather think of them as guardian spirits.

It would seem we are kept in fine fettle, until the time is right, bit like Pigs and Sheep.

Some might say some have all the luck, others might say God help him, if he had been a monk he would be laughing and saying to himself “Thank you Lord, all that fun and it wasn’t even a sin”
Seriously though, he could have been badly injured in the lower sentitive regions, not to mention the mental trauma if he was a gay man, I think the fact that he was a man will just cause laughter and envy and that will be the end of it.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

It happens here in the Midlands, around Dudley, Darlaston, Lower Gornal etc, the blokes have to go round in pairs for safety, hence, they have become known as "Yam Yams"

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

If you remember I warned about those Yams before Gummy, young men should be very careful when a girl calls them “My sweet potato” If I was twenty years younger I’d be off to the Trobrian Islands like a shot singing “I am a Yam” but then the wife always said I was a glutton for punishment.
Quote “For example, one Australian man reported that he had been raped twice by gangs of Trobrian girls. It was a terrifying experience when it first happened but, after he got used to it, it was not so bad after all, he said”
God help him, me heart bleeds for him, but like they say a man can get used to anything given time, the yammy bugger.
