Cookie Monster Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 I remember the very very tall store detective from woolies. He wasn't very good allegedly. Then again, I may just have had an innocent face with my mouth full at the pick and mix. [emoji16] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannae be arsed looking back at the pix on this thread which show the emerging Canal Street dual carriageway opening… the garage opened almost synchronistically…. The wonderfully responsible person in that new garage (at the time) who collected payments, called the polis to attend a possible break-in at a 2nd floor flat in Sir Michael Place. She’d seen someone climbing up the building’s gable end. I opened the door to the polis. I’d left my key indoors so climbed up the protruding bricks, then (the hard bit) got onto the kitchen windae ledge to let my self back in via that always opened windae. Later, I went over to thank her for her public spirited call. ps I’m not in my 50s… Edited March 29, 2023 by antrin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AD calendar started at 1, so how did the Romans know nearly 12 months in advance of Jesus's birth. [emoji848]Fcuk never thought about the BC countdown. [emoji1787]Maybe they backdated it so he'll really only be 2022.Fcuk fcuk just remembered there was folk saying the new Millennium should be celebrated at the start of 2001. Should it have been 2002.Fcuk fcuk fcuk I'm needing a lie down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
