This is one of the things I don't get. Why is his music iconic? I find it baffling but there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you spent a chocolate penny they might have fallen out of your pocket while around your ankles. I've gone days without keys only to find them at the base of the bog. remember when i said it probably belonged in the boring thread .. next morning when i couldn't find the keys , i checked the pockets of the shorts I'd been wearing , however sometime late Sunday evening I remembered that as I'd been to the royal opera house and I'm not Australian , id put long trousers on (i'd changed back into shorts when i got home) keys were of course in the pocket of my trousers that were hanging up in the wardrobe , thankfully Ghostbusters were ok with me cancelling their call out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Lifeboats Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 The news keeps saying that there will be a ban on hosepipes. I'm no fool. I've bought 10 and put them in the garage. I'll be able to sell them for a fortune when they are banned. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
