    A couple of years ago a girl pushed in before me in a queue to join her friends.

    She seemed a bit embarrassed and apologised, after being served.

    For once I had a quick answer;

    But does anyone remember Lucian and his rabbits ?

    Well I thought it was spelled Lucien. He was Carol's brother;)


    Anyway you know you're getting old when - words elude you. The other day I was replying to a thread and, for the life of me, I could not remember the word 'manifesto'. I think I substituted 'leaflet' instead:o

    Well a teacher once told me it was when you realise you are teaching the grandkids of some of your former pupils
