Keys Cut while you Wait...(Because it said so) Never did cut my trousers,though. :oops:
When I threw an acorn down the toilet I thought a tree would grow out of it.I was a bit worried.
When I saw a pipe p*ssing out water on a piece of land which had a demolished building I thought that Finsbury Park would fill up with water.

Seems like when you sneezed your brain fell out.

Maybe you’ve never sneezed but you certainly pass wind regularly. Usually out of your mouth.

In the 50s and 60s, my mum always brought ''Socra'' Russian tinned red Salmon, it was the cheapest and the best but seemed like in the 1970s onwards became unavailable in UK. I dont think this brand is canned anymore ?
Still love Salmon and cucumber sandwiches to this day, but it does not taste as nice to me as the old Socra tinned red Salmon.

I believed that when my Mum went out down the shops she would leave the dog to watch over my brother and I and after she returned the dog would go over to her and tell her in 'doggy language' if we got up to any mischief. My Brother and me always behaved ourselves because we genuinely believed Cassie was watching us and would grass us up.

Also, on dogs. My Mum would tell us Dad had gone out to see a 'Man about a Dog' when of course he was down the boozer.

Happy Times!

When it rained God was upset and was crying.

Oh yes. If you swallowed a pip then a tree would grow out of you.

I believe that in the insect world some fungi grow inside of insects, sort of turns them into zombies and kills them before mushrooms start sprouting from their heads. I think Ross's outburst today might have something to do with an alien invasion of the brain.
