Me too.   Hopeless aren't we.    

I think it's different for women. They grow up.

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 12:58:10 PMWalked to local chemist.. I have been waiting ages for my prescription to be filled.. When I phone them they say that one of the items is on order.. It just goes on and on.. Different reasons every time I phone ..
It took them a long while to try and sort it...
Meanwhile I sat on a chair talking to different people ..What a tonic.. I was the fittest one in there.. and the oldest.. I walked back home .. 'minus prescription' feeling ten years younger..

Inside every old person there is a young person wondering what happened..Terry Pratchett I think

The poor man ... We all know how quickly a 3yr old can move..

Love it!!
Exactly my experience!! 

I only went upstairs to find something to wear..
I looked in the wardrobe.. Chockablock with 'stuff'.. Things I have not worn for years.. 
That can go.. that can go.. and so can that..
But before I put them in the charity box I'll just quickly try them on..
I did.. 
I still have a wardrobe full of stuff that I haven't worn for years..

I tried to be 'ruthless'...

Absolutely. 
Every grandparents  nightmare

Or perhaps some biodegradable mixture. I'm sure farmers must have something suitable 

Quote from: muddy on Today at 08:28:00 AMI don't understand it .
The man defended himself admitted he had painted the stature but said it wasn't a crime as he was 'sending a message'  to the government and used washable paint.
Singapore would have added a few extra strokes for this nonsense !

We can't have the whole world paint spraying our national monuments becaue they want to send a  message to the government ,( not even their government )

Try paint spraying a mosque with washable paint .

I have heard other cases like this where no-one is punished.  Not only our incompetent government, but our courts now seem to be heavily biased in favour of criminals who commit 'acceptable crimes'!
