My neighbour told me that he was taking down the very tall (quick growing) conifer pines that border our land.. HOORAY 😁 
He is concerned that they might bring down the very old wall we have that divides our property..
He is a lovely neighbour and said that it was unfair on me having such tall trees that hang over my shed and almost touch my house.
He added.. 'we can chat over the wall '.
He is ninety... 

Some of these rhymes are bizarre
it's like pulling words out of a jar
But they give us a laugh
They do.... not arf 
And we're all daft ... we are

My lights kept flickering just now
It gives me the willies - and how
Is it the rain?
Or blocks down the drain?
Or has the meter been hit by a cow?

I also like responding with an "Ello? Ello? " type French accent.

Well that probably ensures a good turn out 

Bit like the advertising you see on some of the Yank stuff...

Contains smoking, alcohol use, violence, sexual content, nudity, strong language, sexual behaviour

And that's just Little House on the Prairie 

My fave response is, ' I am having a poo right now, can I call you back.?"

Same here

Making sure it stays stopped before a walk. Browsing Telegraph and came across an article on staying fit as you age. This paragraph made me smile..

Balance training is equally crucial. "If you can't stand on one leg for thirty seconds, it's a sign your stability needs work. Practise that daily. Try standing on one leg while brushing your teeth." Falls are one of the biggest causes of hospitalisation in older adults, so this simple practice could be life-saving.

Well yes falls are nasty but it seems to me one-way to avoid the risk is by not playing silly buggers standing on one leg in the bathroom  brushing your teeth.

Can I " un-recommend" Mr Mercedes?     A bit too ********. for the sensitive palates on here
