h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'll keep that in mind before I fire off panicked emails 😂

---------------

The "powers" have got it in for me again
Tonight's Irish lottery draw:-

mine = 3 and 33
them = 4 and 32

a 4 number lucky dip (cost- 11 quid)
mine = 30 and 32
them = 29 and 32

I'll have my revenge one day
If it takes eternity plus infinity, add a fortnight and any overtime involved!!
I'll get my own back on them!!!
THAT is a promise/vow

Good luck with that

I have a saying I made up years ago

They can bug me!
They can p'ss me off!
But! They'll NEVER defeat me!

Applies to anyone etc (covers loads of categories )

This is very true, reminds me of the late Maggie Smith in her role as the Dowager Countess in Downton Abbey she had a fabulous line, one of many "As my father used to say 'If reason fails, use force'"

As a Yorkshiremanyou know we are tight-fisted
If anyone "talks" about money, my hackles go up
then the old saying comes in - yah can't get blood from a stone
I'm made of granite

That I can believe

A friend this morning asked me ? Why are "we" Yorkshire folk classed as tight ?

I replied! A Yorkshireman/woman will give you the shirt off their backs
BUT! We are tight when it comes to spending money on ourselves
I followed that up with It's us THAT taught the Scots how to be tight

I like that

IF! You ever hear someone near you say/shout "how much!"
10 to 1 it's a Yorkshire person

Or a cockney

cockney ??? WE had flat caps to keep our heads and brains warm
"they" had jellied eels

Cockneys used to wear flat caps too

Copied from us!

I'm rich! I gotta tenner from postcode lottery

It's a start

It wain't buy me my own house thoughstill stuck in a council one

I want a nice bungalow

I'd like one too, can't climb stairs anymore

I can get upstairs, but NOT as "normal"

I need a stair lift

Have you got one installed ?

I don't know if you own your home ? or council ?
BUT! Can "social services" offer anything ???
