piggy and babs 544 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 What about when pigs fly up hockley. Iwish i was a bird id fly away. Iam under 5ft but they call me the rock viler cause i got a mouth like a parishoven. when i am out in a group they always use me to get every one to get together and listen,when they want a group photo or to tell thewhole group something. my dad was a miner all his working life so we always had big fires when it was cold even in the bdrooms when it was really bad so never got frost inside our windows our neighbours never had a lot of coal but said they always knew when we had a fire in our bedroom as theirs was always warmer. my dad used to give them coal for the downstairs fires until he cought there dad one night stealing it he had removed several bricks from between the coal houses and was taking them out and putting them back in after he had taken coal out till dad cought him one night and they came to blows.This might not seem much until you realize that my dad was only 4ft 8inch and he was over 6ft dad still came of better than him.The next day dad re cemented all the bricks covered them with planks and cocered this with hard board.Often wonder what the demolision men thought years later.he would have given it to him if he had asked. theresanother one for you thick as two short planks.

katyjay 5,091 Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I was on a bus once and my toddler daughter was rattling away, a hundred to the dozen, and a lady in front turned round and smiled at me like 'doesn't she go on' and I said you'll have to excuse her, she's got verbal diarrhea, and the lady gave a sympathetic look and said 'oh sorry'. I still smile about that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
