You Never Know What's Round The Corner....
« on: 01 June 2021, 12:27:07 »

I have known my 90 something neighbours across the road for around 30 years now and they are friends as well as neighbours.

It was a nice sunny afternoon yesterday and I thought I'd pop over to say Hi as I hadn't seen them for a while, but then decided to mow the lawn instead and catch up with them in the week.

Alan dropped dead this morning.  Bugger!  :'(

Just proves the saying "never put off what you can do today until tomorrow"  ;D ;D ;D ;)

Perhaps you cutting your grass had something to do with him dropping off his perch Sir Tigger? :o :o ;D ;D ;)

You might be right Lizzie.   :)

Maybe he heard my mower start up and thought Miserable bastard could have come over here for a beer in the sunshine...  :-\  ::)

That saying is only true until you're about 50, then it's turned arse about face.

I know it's a shock for his family but what a great way to go. I'd prefer that to a slow and lingering death.

Yep, I think he'd gone by the time he hit the ground or soon after anyway.  :-\

The Grim Reaper came for me once, but obviously decided to leave me be for a bit.  :y  It wasn't a scary experience, quiet peaceful in fact, so death itself doesn't scare me. 

It's how we die that can be horrible, as we wouldn't let a dog go through what some people have to endure at the end.  :(

I'm not going to start a debate on legalised euthanasia because it is, quite rightly, a very emotive subject. But I know how I feel about it.

That bugger in the high viz, white cap, clipboard and knife on the end of a big stick came for me as well, once upon a time.

Personally, I have no memory of hitting the deck like a shot doo but do remember waking in the back of the ambulance, wired to buggery, and reaching to stand up and take on the world.

No one knows what’s in store so, to paraphrase what others have said, procrastination is certainly the thief of time....

We don't mind you starting a debate about it.


Because we can end it early.

He came for me when I was 16, and again in April 2010, but I told him to far cough both times. ;D
