Depressing I'm only two years younger.

Spotty arsed kid. I am a year older.

One of Madam's mates is having trouble with her plumbing (enough! Keep this forum clean), so she volunteered me to fix it.

"But I am 75 dear," I whimpered.

"Then you had better get a move on because you ain't getting any younger," she replied.

I tell you, they breed them hard in Yorkshire

I did wonder when the "covid " angle would be covered.

Its amazing all these "conspiracy theorists" on the interwebby that can tell you someone had/died of covid before the cause of death was released.

There was me thinking according to the bbc its only anti vaxxers on social media.

Im sure you will be right though toots.

I was just trying to cheer cromwell up. Poor chap - feeling his age. He's still only a baby!

No worries -  they are saying he had Covid.

"They" are also saying he wasn't vaccinated.  Personally I will wait until that is verified, (or not.)
