Here across the Pond, Walmart already has ALL of its Christmas stuff out. Kind of strange to see decorated Christmas trees when the leaves are only beginning to turn.

After church, we usually go to a Greek restaurant and I usually have an omelet with fried potatoes and an English muffin with orange marmalade and hot tea. Very filling.

So who is Tony Hancock and why is his address so well known?

I'm sure that the supermarket would REALLY APPRICIATE it, if when you use their conveniences, that you purchase something on the way out of the store. On another note, what if you're north of 50 years and you have NO MEANS or any idea of how to make a "contactless payment." Good thing the...

When I had my wisdom teeth removed, the dentist dug and strained over one side of my mouth which swelled up immediately. After he finished, he made the statement, "Now I know how to do it." Later on, he did the other side quickly and neatly since he knew "how to do it."

I happen to like Celebrity Antique Road Trip. It's a hoot.

Well, let's think about what these phrases represent. They all refer to Foggy's imaginary tour of duty in a far away jungle, It was unacceptable for Foggy to be just a sign writer, instead, he became a well respected jungle fighter. As a note, is it possible that we may have known someone who...
