Life:

[Mr Ed]

Just been over to see my Grandfather. He's 97 and just been diagnosed with lung cancer. He's not happy, the doctor said he'd had a good innings, my Grandfather said he wants a century

He has a few days, possibly a week left.

 

He was a proper loony in his day. 'Borrowed' a sunbeam motercycle when he was fourteen and set a record, Caernarfon to liverpool in two hours.

Lay down between the train tracks and let the express go over him as a bet. Says the engine dropped a hot cinder on his head as it passed over, but he did'nt dare move it in case a carriage hit him.

 

Shot the vicars hat off with a 410 as a joke....

 

He was still driving till last week, and not slowly either.

 

I hope I get as good an innings...

Sorry to hear that Ed. Hope he proves them wrong, as people with such heart and drive are too few and far between to loose

That's what I call living life to the full, what a card.

i dont know where the wages come from but here goes. my first wage was £19.00 and one gallon of fuel with two shots of oil for my fizzie was 90p paid mum £10. i also agree with you lee the old days were best people do not have time for anything or anyone,back in your 70s we were all a lot happier i think, life now is to fast and stressful.
