Most people know My Favourite Things from the musical.  This is a bit American, but alternative lyrics for you to sing along with...

Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cadillacs and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.
When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.

The Chat Room / Receipts
Last post by Alex - November 27, 2025, 10:16:34 AM
Do you always take or ask for a receipt in supermarkets  ?   Quite often the cashier asks 'would you like your receipt?'  suppose they're trying to save paper, I can't think of any other reason not to automatically give one out.  I always ask for mine wherever I go, apart from the garage when I get petrol. 

That might change though as I've read of a fella who was contacted by the police re some crime involving his car.  Turns out robbers used fake plates and this man was miles away in the Midlands when the crime occurred.  Fortunately he had his petrol receipt proving he was many miles away at the time..  :grin:
