My Picnic Yesterday, Sitting Next To A Chap On A Bench, Couldn't Help But Hear

[teacake44]

You need to get some pain killers off them, they won't take it out until the swelling as gone down. They told me a thousand pound each, I said you can forget that I'm not spending ten thousand pound on my mouth at my age, I could be dead next week, give them a ring. He's ok, he went to Canada last year, and got a job right away, he couldn't get a job here, his son went over last week, hoping he can get a job. he had Monday off, when I came home he had done nothing all day but sit on his ass, so I put my washing in, I did the ironing before I came out.

Its ok for you, I've not got a maid, I said its ok for you I've not got a maid, can you hear me, yes that's what I said. Yes he died last Saturday, he was only 59, prostrate cancer, he left it to late, nothing they could do for him, he never went to the doctors when he had an idea, if he had he would have been here now. How's your knee still having problems, mine is ok since I've used a sick, what time you going tonight, your not coming why not, won't do you any good stuck in the house, but at least it will take your mind off it, hang on I can't hear you very well, what did you say, Ahhhhh ok then. think I will pop for a coffee in a min, nice day today but a bit fed up being on my own since she passed away, some days I just don't know what to do with myself. They say live every day as if its your last, the way I feel today, I think it is, bloody knee's creaking this morning when I got up, then went a bit dizzy, and he thinks I should spend ten grand on teeth, not bloody lightly, they think we pensioner are stupid I think, and these young kids. Not decided what to have tonight, might just have cheese on toast. You just don't feel like eating in this weather or cooking, I think that's what I miss as well someone to cook and do the washing, its an effort sometimes just to make the bloody bed, and hoover, still you just got to carry on the best you can, is it still hurting now? you need to get down there now, or you'll be up all night, I remember when I had it, no joke, ok well maybe see you there, in saying that I may not feel like it, you know what its like once you get home and settle down, you can't be bothered to get ready and go out again, ok see you then hopefully, and don't forget to ring them, all the best. Oh, before you go, what did Jack say to you the other night, because you didn't look very happy, he's always been the same , just take no notice and carry on how you want to, he's always got advice for other people, gets me down sometimes. see you later anyhow bye. END OF CALL.

and you remembered all that? wow!

[brainiac]

Did you record it?

[Rockrose]

What a shame you spent your entire picnic listening in on someone conversation and taking notes of it.

[teacake44]

Not entire Rock 20 mins eating/ drink, 3 hours walking, and yes I did remember, it was just funny. :)

[spathiphyllum]

I just want to beat baldric...



Who cares?

[SparklyKid]

Sad

[10ClarionSt]

And I always thought it was Prostate, not Prostrate. But good memorising there, teacake!

[teacake44]

Spark, only sad if you don't see the funny side.

[Mamyalynne]

Did you have a scotch egg?

[teacake44]

I think an egg in he's mouth would have shut him up. ha ha :) :)

[Canary42]

Good observational comedy - Alan Bennett/Victoria Wood style. Thanks teacake.

[Rockrose]

You didn’t have to listen and take notes though, perhaps a few eggs in your ears would have helped.

[spathiphyllum]

I like eggs

[aelmpvw]

//Yes he died last Saturday, he was only 59, prostrate cancer//
he shouldn't have taken that lying down

[teacake44]

What are you on about Rock, (taking notes) for goodness sake find a sense of humour, and stop inventing things like ( I took notes)

[ummmm]

It's not remotely funny. I can't believe I read all that dross.

[teacake44]

Well ummmm you may need to get out more, I don't really find a lot you say funny, you know why? its all doom and gloom. :) :) And I don't want to be in the doom and gloom rut.

[Rockrose]

So does it make you feel good to make things up?
Because there is no way that happened

[bednobs]

"and stop inventing things"
lol

[teacake44]

Well Rock, you know don't you?? I've had my little flutter on AB, and the weather is getting brighter, stopped raining, still nice and warm, so off out to enjoy myself. Bye for now, have fun on AB for the rest of your day, and night. :)
