On a similar vein, although said by my brother, who is not my missus, but is Irish, so somewhat understandable. "Don't the years fly by these days"????

Has nobody noticed that on a thread describing how funny, soft and cuddly our loved ones are, we are now on page 666.......

Leaving your loved one in Cardenden is likely to be a successful method of disposing of them without trace as well.

The Tufted Duck is being demolished. Lots of skips taking the crap away to the landfill at Blackdog...

Ah yes, sounds familiar.
The lengthy intellectual debate on the true nature of time and our perception of it triggered by the current highlight of the week: taking the bin out.
This is closely followed by angst over which permutation or combination of black, blue, green or brown? An entire subject of itself as the local authority website on this subject is a collection of broken links

Hopefully you'll have a few more funerals to attend shortly so it won't have been a waste of money after all.
Always look on the bright side of life.
SWMBO: I've got my cardiology hospital appointment at 12:40, are you coming with me ?
Me: Of course.
We get to the hospital, navigate our way to cardiology, geezer wearing mask and gloves behind perspex screen and plastic chains for keeping plebs 2meters away takes SWMBO's letter.
Geezer: Can't find you on the system, I think you need to go to out-patients over the road.
SWMBO: No. it says on the letter this department.
Geezer: Oh yes you're right Madam, the wrong bit is the date, you're a month early ! It says March on the letter.
Me: (Sotto voce) FFS.
SWMBO: Well, there's a lot of twos on the letter so I must've thought February. They should've written it words !
Me: (Sotto voce) And breathe. Well it got us out and about anyway.
Me: Of course.

At least you were in the right hospital, not one 20+ miles away* from where the letter said.
*because that was where she had been seen last time.
No prizes for guessing precisely when this stood revealed. Nor whose fault it was.

...and still manage to dress themselves in the morning.
Didn't manage to build a swimming pool in time when hosting it though. Cost me a crate that did.
