Worrying signs...

[Yellow Fang]

Today I found myself cleaning a telephone handset at work. People who've read Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy may understand.

This evening I threw out two pairs of trousers because they were too tight.

A wise move - mine almost killed me!

Elasticated "comfort strips" are the way forward.

Or draw-strings. I am sat here wearing a pair of Ron Hill Tracksters with the draw-string undone!

I'm sure that some people will be swooning at the news.

Well, I understand that the inhabitants of Golgfrincham died from a virus caught from a particularly dirty telephone.....

One cannot be too careful, you did the planet a service there my good man.

Very wise - don't want the entire population wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from an unexpectedly dirty telephone!

Funnily enough when sat in the dentist's chair the other day it go me to thinking how many other kid's mouths had that rubber sink plug type thing been in.

Older readers will remember the rubber thing from the school dentist, they put it in to keep your mouth open, then gassed you.

No wonder we all feared the dentist!!

You were also a bit short if you were hoping to land on that runway that can be seen on the hillside about a mile away. Was it a long flight from Planet D1-18?

Yes, I remember, they knocked you out with gas if they removed a tooth, but didn't give you anything if they did a filling. As a small boy I went to the one behind the library in Cheriton, a huge room with a Parquet floor and right down the bottom a huge chair with a drill and gas bottles next to it, and a table full of instrument,. Stuff of nightmares.

Indeed.
Having a filling from the skool dentist was a white knuckle ride, sweaty hands clamped to the armrests, trying desperately not to scream at the same time being ridiculed by the dentists assistant !

I did that a few years ago, along with a stack of T shirts and tops too... wish i hadn't because the weight i'd gained from the desk job was quickly lost when i began running around for a living.

I've started glancing at cardigans in shop windows
