Best Before Never
It was only at the end of July that the Last Laugh Looney Party successfully concluded their Brexit negotiations with Mr Junket of the European Union. Finally they have agreed to ban all SMALL PRINT. (See my blog in the Archive dated 31st … Continue reading
LLLP Brexit Negotiations on Small Print
The Brexit negotiations continue to move along with the help of the Last Laugh Looney Party. This is my weekly leak, oops sorry, Cabinet communication on the excellent progress our leader Mrs Tezz is making. Fortunately, … Continue reading

“Assisted Living”
This is an American term applied to retirement housing, which I have never fully understood. It tends to be associated with grab rails, hoists, Zimmer frames, mobility scooters and emergency call systems. That’s all good stuff but it doesn’t … Continue reading

Breakfast Exercise 2
This morning I woke up early – 5.45 am, tired and in my natural stupor first thing in the morning. It’s a time for an autopilot routine – not a time for a challenge. Still half-asleep – grumpy is my … Continue reading
“Spectacle wipes”
If ever there was a product that needed to be easy to open it has to be spectacle cleaners. You would also think that the makers of these would be highly aware that without their glasses, 50% of the elderly can’t … Continue reading
“I Spy – small print”
“I spy with my little eye” was a fun game when I was a child. We especially used to play it to pass the time on long journeys with my parents in the car. No motorways then and roads which … Continue reading
