How silly is this?

Post by Rob »

I have a dear friend,bless her, who it seems as she gets older is getting more eccentric.
Well,imagine if you're going by train from Brum to Euston Street station,London and you get off at Golders Green or Finchley Park!!
Strange would be your first thought.
So , imagine going by train from Brum to Wolverhampton and you got off for some unknown reason at Coseley !!!
Is that strange behaviour or not !!! :roll:

When I went to Australia heading to Perth, I was sat next to an elderly lady 70 plus from Cornwall. who kept telling me her son was picking her up at the railway station, but we were on a 747.

Funny you should mention that Mally old gal!

I heard from a rather elderley deffo eccentric chap just the other day.
He was at work, everyone had gone home and he had gone to get his bike
When he got to his bike he couldn't find his key, so he had to go back into work to look
in his bike bag, as no light was outside zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

He went back into work, where it was dark spooky, and upended his bag
and there at the bottom of said bag was ...................the key! le clef!!

He went all the way back down, outside got on bike and cycled home
as fast as his elderley legs would take him, .....he has little legs so has to peddle faster

He got home and found he had forgotten his Wallet....which he had left at work
so had to drive back to work to collect it!

And this is the kind of person that is working in industry!!
Thankfully not in this country

Can't say who this person is
my tulips are sealed

:shh: :silent:
