Worth a try. Guessing it didn't work?

Also - when you bend down to tie your shoe laces and try to think what else you can do while you're down there....

Doh, I thought of something to post on this thread, but it's gone right out of my head.

Today I nearly put washing up liquid on my pork pie instead of brown sauce

I take it we're all hearing Denis Norden's voice when reading these.

My fave of his: "When you bend down to tie your shoe laces, and ask yourself if there's anything else that needs doing while you're down there".

Going to the shop for some groceries and coming back with a damn great bagful which doesn't include what
what you went for in the first place.

When you post something in a thread that you read in the same thread the day before.

When you start pointing out the shortcomings of others.

I was watching some of the early episodes of Last of the Summer Wine recently and realised the all the old
codgers were about 10 years younger then than I am now.

That's alright, Pete.

It's if -after counting it out in their hand - you say "....and that makes 10 pounds" (or whatever the amount is) that the game's up!
