WELCOME TO THE SEE YOU JIMMY LAFFTER FILE
A friend a lady of strong mind and forceful vocabulary to boot, drove along a narrow by way to the court where she was presiding magistrate and, easing her way round a tight corner came face to face with a car coming from the other direction. The driver pulled his vehicle on to the primitive verge and wound down his window, while gesturing broadly and shouting ‘PIG’ in tones mores threatening than judicial. Our friend replied in furious tones well-honed upon the bench, slammed the car into gear, and shot off round the corner, to find herself confronting……………………………………………THE PIG!!!
From my guide to relationships within marriage ……….. A wife’s place is in the kitchen; a husband’s position is in the wrong. This opinion is of course, not held by anyone who values his skin!!
You must remember the passing popularity of chicken-on-the-spit In the display window of an Edinburgh store a spit with three rows of basted chicken rotated slowly was squeaking horribly as it went round, basted with reeking fat by the chef.
An Edinburgh derelict (weren’t we all) stared at the infernal sight then shouted at the cook,
‘Hey mister I don’t think much of you music ……… and yer monkeys on fire.
SEE YA JIMMY!
PFF MEETING UPDATE
By Charlie Hogarth
A meeting was held in Salmon Inn Galashiels, Partners Families and Friends of Parky sufferers in the Borders.
It proved a resounding success as more than 30 turned up. Although initially quiet, everyone then relaxed and exchanged views and information on personal experiences. This proved there is a place for a PFF meeting in our area.
It was agreed to hold a further meeting at the same venue and the Salmon has been booked for the 22nd September 2pm – 4pm.
Hopefully we will be able to build on the first meeting and have meetings in place for partners Families and Friends of Parky’s.
The tea coffee and sandwiches soon disappeared please be reassured more has been ordered for this meeting.
