Other day I opened the wheelie bin to dump in a bag of rubbish and unfortunately I had a whiff. Instantly I was transported back to the days 'when I was a lad' where my sisters and my friends would 'play' in the river hyndburn....

You must be ill, I always spend fifteen minutes a day chasing the nurse around the bed. I have noticed lately, she tends to slow down a little.

Is she coming around to my way of thinking? Is she getting older and I need a younger model to keep my fitness regime going? Or has she finally decided that I should be taught the lesson that I can't supply what my ambitious labidos thinks I can?

I think you might be in a relationship with a Mrs P...but not with this Mrs P you aren't.

Maybe something like this:






Still remeber the smells in my gran's kitchen. The pic of the Lancashire Hot Pot in the photo competition took me back to this one ... And the aroma of steak and kidney pudding made from scratch. And hot tar. And carbolic soap ... I still buy that stuff. Turns your armpits into charmpits.

My nurse would not tolerate any of that chasing malarky, he says its silly.
