Leisurely Scribbles (part 5) (Part 1)

are these self charactercures??

No, I am blonde. X

Who’s yerwoman Sweetie?

There were three old ladies in front of me in the post office this morning when I went to get me pension, fair enough I don’t mind waiting, but one of the heavier ones turned around suddenly to go out the door, she had forgotten to bring her identity card with her, in her hurry she stood on my right big toe, Christ I let out a yell with the pain of it, she didn’t stop to say sorry, just buggered on home to get her card.
I’m sitting down now with my foot in a basin of cold water.–true.

I’ve asked this before, but never got an answer. “Why do we need toes?” alright we needed them when we were apes to hang from trees, why now that we have completed the evolution are they still there?
They are completely useless, it’s a bugger of a job to cut the toenails, you can’t hold anything in them like you do with your hands, so why are they still there?
Would it not be better if they were not there, just a smooth blank space at the end of the foot, easier to keep clean and no clipping.:slight_smile:

you try walkin with no toes and see how far you"ll get it"s all in the balance old fella

Balance! so that’s it, fair play to ya Gummy, I’d never have thought of that, I should have though seeing I’m hobbing along now with me sore toe.
That’s what my grandson is studying in University, engineering, he’s very interested in modern artificial limbs, can’t think of the name they have for that but the ones they have now are terrific, one of my neighbours, a fella in his fifties lost his leg and has a new one, you would never guess looking at him walking, perfect strides.

that"s wot i need better than a wonky knee that’s still given me yip!

Anyone been watching that new Belgian Soap Opera………………….Ostenders.:lol::lol::lol:

:lol: My missus prefers the other soap, all about the family who run the flower shop, Carnation Street.:slight_smile:

It used to be on here, but it evaporated.:lol::lol:

When I first visited London on a holiday back in !968 I asked for a small whiskey in a pub in Chiswick, I couldn’t believe how small the measure actually was, it barely covered to bottom of the glass. Unfortunately I stared at it for too long in shock, when I eventually lifted it to me mouth to swallow it it had evaporated.:wink:
The lesson I learned there was, drink it first and be disappointed later.:smiley:
Our measures are about twice as much in a ‘small one’

they let you visit LOndon in them days??? shucks!!

I thought measures were all the same.
Am I missing out?:lol:

oh yes - stand in line lads and get them out - ya optics you dorks!!

Wrong thread.:lol:

Optical illusions are mind-bending.:lol:

I knew I had a problem threadin needles - holes all over my index finger!

Oh my, I forgot about Jem’s toes, never mind fingers.

I can still stand on my toes, but, I can’t stand on my fingers.:lol:

yes it’s easy bend over forwards now put ya left hand under ya left foot and then ya right hand under your right foot - there ya go - oops she’s fallen over backwards - let’s start again - left hand under ya right foot and right hand under ya left foot - there much better balance heh - oh dear her face has gawn all blue?? - help help!!
