Leisurely Scribbles (part 5) (Part 1)

I once had a manager working for me in Yeovil with whom I took an instant dislike. In my defence, I was rarely wrong when it came to riff-raff & hoi polloi.

I discovered later that he was a personal friend of the managing director.

Anyway, he turned out to be an alcoholic, gambling addict & womanizer.
I decided that he must have some hold over his friend the MD

Sad to say, he ran off with the head cashier(MD’s wife) and a week’s takings. He had pancreatic cancer, sclerosis of the liver and lung cancer & died 6 weeks afterwards.

I forgot to mention, going back to GUmbuds BINNED comment on SOLO’s post.

He had a marvellous sense of humour, his saving grace.
In his office, he sported 3 bins, 2 small & 1 very large.

The small ones were labelled, Head Office, Regional Office. The 3rd and largest was emblazoned with the words
POST FROM ROBERT.

THAT MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD.

I went to his funeral, well-attended and learned a lot about the other side of his character, funny, generous & loyal to his close friends.

I was right about him, yet totally wrong.

For Solo

forgot to remember to forget her
I can’t seem to get her off my mind
I thought I’d never miss her
But I found out somehow
I think about her almost all the time
The day she went away
I made myself a promise
That I’d soon forget we ever met
But something sure is wrong
'Cause I’m so blue and lonely
I forgot to remember to forget

creep!:mrgreen:

Shurrup you :lol:

Poem appreciated Robert :023:

Only ever had one person take a dislike to me and as my Senior she was in a position to cause me real grief and believe me when I say, in the days when you had no come back she caused me real grief at every opportunity.

One of us had to go and that’s when you knew who your mates were but it was a waiting game for pay back

She suffered badly from piles and when the opportunity finally arose her tube of Anusol was swapped for carefully disguised toothpaste. When the screaming stopped she got the message.

I always laugh now when I see someone suggests using Anusol for bags under eyes

Hold on, I thought you had to grin and bin it:mrgreen:
Have you ever played Polo:043::043:

You know about ANUSOL for bags under the eyes.

I thought that the Queen Mum & I were the sole owners of that phrase

Lost me on Anusol!:confused:

Talking of remembrance, Frank Ifield is heading my way.

you just watch that guy - his boomerang won’t come back

Gummy Bear, I was referencing this.

I thought he was dead!

No, I posted the link.
I think my lot are going to see him out of curiosity.
I’ll give it a miss. Research this Anusol stuff:mrgreen:

he’s had his day!

I’ll keep you posted on that:lol:
I wonder if he knows about this Anusol stuff.:mrgreen:

I made a mistake about the Queen Mother, she didn’t use ANUSOL on her bags, it was egg white or albumen to the more specific. That is all I have to say this evening, folks……………

Don’t pile it on Young Robert:mrgreen:

Take that back!

I guess she must have used ANUSOL in the usual manner, good tip about the albumen tho.

he’s like a boomberang - keeps on coming back tryin to make a buck! where is englebert nowdays ?
