Sometimes Sayings.

Didn't that go with grandad's story.

I have one just like that in the shed was working when I put it there nearly 40 years ago.

Won’t pick up any stations now, it’s all digital.

Only kept it because it was grannies, probably keep it now because it's a bit rare. 

If hindsight is to be avoided, then the eye in the centre of the arse would not be blind.

I am putting up this week's saying a day earlier than usual because I have to leave home at 10am tomorrow to have lunch with the last remaining "almost parent," my Wife's Stepfather, although as he married her mother years after my Wife left home and married, I cannot understand how he can be her Stepfather.

This was sent to me a few days ago from my friend Stephen.

I asked her how she lost her husband.  She told me her sad story:-
Well, he needed a blood transfusion but his blood type was not on record, so the doctors asked me if I knew it, as they urgently needed to know to save my poor Richard's life.
Tragically, I have never known his blood type, so I only had to sit and say "goodbye."
I'll never forget how supportive my Richard was, he kept whispering to me "Be positive, Be Positive."
That was my Richard, always thinking of others.



Just in case you don't get it, my blood type is B+ as well.
 

Special note of thanks to Morris after copying the Benjamin Franklin quote and adding it to a similar quote I had placed on the Men's Shed notice board a while back.
