Old wives tales...

We now hear that eating a fried breakfast is probably healthier than a bowl of muesli. In the same way, presumably, that drinking ten pints of lager is better for you than a glass of fruit juice? I think not.

Last orders, please!

You know when you're in a rough pub when the performance of the bar staff is measured by how many female customers are drinking pints!

Another sign you're getting old...

You start naming the pot holes you see on the walk to the station in the morning after craters on the moon!

How the other half lives!

My parents attitude is to 'put another jumper on' when it's cold. That's fine, but what if it's your feet that are cold...I don't recall any companies making jumpers for feet! Maybe there's a gap in the market here!
