Wasn't the cough that carried her off it was the coffin they carried her off in

WCMO I was setting out for the (granddaughter's) school run. I was in the left lane indicating I'm about to turn left onto the freeway entrance. A woman came out from a slip lane on my left and ploughed into me. I discovered that jumping on brakes & horn, and yelling - ans clutching my hair...

Am I to understand that this relic has been mouldering at the bottom of your ironing basked all this time? And I thought my teetering pile was embarrassing

Well in the spirit of 'old-codger-i-ness' I think you really need to go to court and fight them. It's always a bit of fun to inconvenience people......whoever the council sends will be getting paid a very comfy wage in any event so let him pay the penalty of sitting around waiting for the beak...

About 20 years ago we were travelling in France, when we got to our hotel in Avignon I needed to do a wash. I baulked at paying 2 Euro per pair of knickers & asserted 'there must be a laundromat somewhere'. One hot hour later and quite a few terse exchanges between me & MrMac we found one. The...

If you happed to live in Melbourne there's a shop called "Abode" in Camberwell Rd opposite the town hall, which sells Actil hotel quality sheets (in fact I think that's how they are branded. Had them for my childrens' beds & the kids would wear out before the sheets did
