The PILs (Patient Information leaflets) you get with medication always make interesting (or scary) reading. Don't get me started on the way our society is going. I'd like to say evolving but somehow that does not feel like the correct word.

Popular Post Dickon Posted July 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) A self-important young student walking along a beach took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen resting on some steps why it was impossible for the older generation to understand modern youth. “You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one” the student said in a voice loud enough for others to hear. “The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel and men walking on the moon. We have nuclear energy, cell phones, video conferencing, high speed computers and so much more.” “You’re right son” said the old timer, “We didn’t have any of those things when we were young so we invented them. Now you arrogant little sh1t, what are you going to do for the next generation?” Edited July 9, 2020 by Dickon punctuation 10 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard It is clearly defined in BR coach toilets as one who 'lifts the seat'. There was back in my spotting days an LNWR convenience on Preston station that had a cast notice advising that a Gentleman is one who adjusts his dress before leaving, and there are clubs in town for that sort of thing... Re instruments to be played in Hell, may I nominate the harpsichord. Nasty, tinny little things, get a proper piano... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
