Um, I'm with your missus there, Vic, I couldn't cross a road without my glasses, much less drive the car, but the amount of times Ive thought, 'Where's my glasses'? Only for some to point out......yep, they are on my head.

Time off work is always relaxing and beneficial in our endless endeavours to stay young. However, yesterday, I found this is only the case if you remember to stay at home and don't go to work by mistake!! I forgot |

Today I had a spectacular Senior Moment. Putting the shopping in the boot of the car at Asda, the bag nearly fell out so I threw my keys into the boot while grabbing the bag........then shut the boot.  Had to wait an hour in the cold for the RAC man, who thought it was hilarious. Once he had got a window open, he found one of Asda's trolley collectors who was small and slim, he got through the window feet first and as there is no parcel shelf in the car he was able to pick up the keys and open the locks. Happy Christmas to Kev the trolley collector at Asda, Pontprennau, your a star!! |

Haven't had to do this in quite a while, however- The Colonies request a translation; or clarification--"boot"?= "trunk"?? |

Sorry Ginnie!
I forget sometimes that our language can be different!
I was watching an American prog yesterday where they referred to someone's 'athletic shoes', we call them 'trainers'. Apparently in America 'trainers' are a baby's first pants! (Underwear)

'Stolen licence plates are often used to hide the identity of a car and, by extension, its driver.
In Tennesee a drug dealer swiped a car with temporary cardboard plates, the kind used in some states until the metal ones arrive. But these particular cardboard plates had expired, as the date written on them clearly showed. So, using a pen, the dealer changed the plates' expiration date of 2-17-95 to one he thought was safely in the future: 2-37-95, obviously forgetting that months have 31 days, tops.
Unfortunately, the police who arrested him couldn't also charge him with aggravated senior moment.'

In order to protect the innocent I will mention no names.Somebody was cooking bacon for brekkie this morning when all of a sudden an irate voice came from the Kitchen"I've told you not to buy thick bacon for breakfast" on closer inspection it was apparent the unnamed person was trying to cook 3 slices that were stuck together.Poor dear Sarge said she needed better glasses.
