I am delighted to inform you that as of last Friday (13th) I am finally free of the dratted neck brace. I had to wear it 24/7 for thirteen long weeks. On a positive note it is wonderful too be free...
Talbot was born 12 minutes after his non identical twin Turbot. Turbot grew into a strong, handsome, clever, popular boy. Talbot didn't. Talbot was the kid that was never picked for anything at...
The post on Chernobyl sheep has prompted me to ask this question:
In Britain, the fields and moorlands are filled with sheep. So......why is the cost of lamb in the butchers so very very expensive?...
While the news this week was full of the story about the Hillsborough disaster, was it just me that thought about the victims of the Heysel stadium disaster? 39 Juventus fans died and 600 were injured...
Today's competition is to use the name of a person/a film title/book title/food item/song title/just about anything, and alter it slightly to come up with a witty name for a quiz team. For example:...
I saw the neurosurgeon on Friday and the good news is I only have to wear the horrid neck brace for another 4 weeks! When I took it off for the x ray I had to tilt my head back (no problem) and then...
Next time you are watching TV, look out for the Lloyds Bank advert where the black horse gallops through various frozen tableaux, starting off with a hospital ward. The very last shot is of a couple...
None of my holidays have been incident free but my trip to Los Angeles takes the biscuit. Some of the incidents include: 1. On the plane I was seated between two rather butch women - one wanted a...

Right brainboxes, what you have to do today is write a single sentence (NOT about cars) but include the make or model of a car, new or old. For example: I had to get new specs because I couldn't...
Over the years I have been addressed by numerous variations of my AB name, such as Mrs Oversexed. (This is not true BTW, it was a filthy rumour started by a small, mad Irishwoman.) The competition...
I spent time and effort selecting appropriate Easter eggs for Mr O and the Junior O's. When I handed them out they were thrilled and made the appropriate appreciative noises. After sampling them, they...

I was talking on the phone to my daughter (age 20) earlier today and she was telling me a story about one of her neighbours. When I asked how old the neighbour is, she said "Oh he is really, really...
As most of you know, my stays in hospital are never incident free. Since breaking my neck, my hands seem to have developed a mind of their own. For example, this morning I was reading a text on my...
Today I was talking to one of my brothers on the phone. He was telling me he is going into hospital at the end of the month as he has a small open wound that refuses to heal and a plastic surgeon is...
I have been wearing the horrid neck brace for nearly 3 weeks now. I had an appointment with a neurosurgeon today and he told me I will have to wear if for another 6 to 12 weeks. It is driving me...
As mentioned earlier, I have a fractured neck (C2) from falling out of bed and bashing my head on a wardrobe. The pain in my head where I bashed it and sweeping in an arc to above my left ear is off...
