Have you noticed the trend among the young to have their names printed on their T shirts ?
The other day I was in a lift with Hugo, Calvin and Tommy.
Funny thing is when I said Hi Hugo and Tommy they looked at me as if I was bonkers.
I think their surnames were were Boss, Klein and Hilfiger. :)

It used to be said that the statue of the Black Prince had been placed in City Square , near the station, pointing South to tell all the southerners who've just got off the train to b****r off back down south!

It’s a long time since I visited anyone’s house and saw a bath rack straddling the tub, but I see they are still on sale from Argos and the like, so I reckon they must be still in use?
The older I get, the better I was.

I have not seen one since my old Mother had one many years ago until about a month ago when i had a fall which among other things brought up a large blood blister on my shin. as i am taking blood thinning tablets i have to be careful not to knock it. As i was having trouble getting in and out of the shower my wife came home with a bath seat (from Argos £35) but after using it couple of times i found i was better stood up so it has now gone back in the box. I must say that they are very good and strong but in this case not much good for me.

They may be coming back into fashion but they are now designed to hold your I Pad and a glass of Chardonnay.

"Nay Nay Lad, It would take one of those suspended sling things like they have in Hospitals to hold my 'tanus No this is just a strong piece of plastic that you can sit on. My problem was when sitting down i could not wash "My Bits" so i preferred to stand up and with help from the Wife could get in and out Ok.
