At what age does one become a coffin dodger? Do I need to get my bus pass stamped?

When you get to three score years and ten, your a coffin dodger apprentice, when you get to three score years and twenty you realy are a coffin dodger, then every day is a good day till you get out of bed.
Just keep pushing the the blankets back, and be glad your not pushing at a coffin lid.

In my case Retlaw, its a plus to push the blankets back any morning, even then I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm still here

If your checking the Obs is no good, it only comes out weekly, you may have popped your clogs in between

The only tropical fish shop I can remember is Baldry's at the top of Warner Street, but there was a very knowledgeable lady somewhere up the top of Willows Lane who bred and sold tropical fish - I guess it was around 1950.

Baldry's had a talking mynah bird in the shop for years. It had a remarkable vocabulary made up mostly of swear words.
