The "talk about whatever you want" thread

The only good thing to come out of the marriage was our daughter who is now 4 days overdue to give birth to her first child.

That's very good news, John. My very best wishes to all of you. Congratulations.

Thank you.

You'll find it's great being a grandad !

I've been one for 12 years. I have two other grandchildren from another daughter.

Are you saying the 'other daughter' wasn't a 'good thing' then ?

No. Different marriage.

It's 60 years today since John F Kennedy died.

I was sitting in the bath when I heard the woman from the flat downstairs call out to her husband:

"Kennedy's dead !"

I thought it would be a relative of theirs, but it was the US president, of course.

I was sitting in front of the TV eating Welsh rarebit.

Well, I'm happy to buy the batteries, but I really wanted to go shopping with a friend.

That's a nice thought, but I'm sure I've had days with nothing good about them.

Yeah. We're in the era of cheap philosophy.

You remained alive.

You call this 'living' ?

Don't panic - I'm kidding !

I've made no secret of my dislike of 'religions' of any kind.

This was further supported by some news out today.

There is a Jewish sect which doesn't allow any connection with the deceased [apart from family members].

The London tube station South Kensington is used by visitors to the Science Museum.

As the museum contains some human remains, members of the sect cannot use the station as it would mean 'mixing' with its visitors.

They have requested another entrance/exit, which must include a separate roof, for their members to use.

Thankfully, common sense has prevailed & the request has been denied !

Happy 1st of December everyone. The year has flown by so fast. (I think it it has) When do you all put up your Xmas? I usually do mine a few weeks before. I have noticed them going up in mid November.
