When I was about eight my mother was in hospital for around thriteen months with TB of the bowel. My father had had a heart attack and times were hard, we was poor but we was happy. I had a boil on the back of my neck and the old man got a glass milk bottle - filled it with boiling water and placed the neck on the boil - the intention being that as the water cooled it would suck all of the poison out of the boil. A few minutes later and I was very nearly the only kid in Torry, Aberdeen that had his whole head stuck in a milk bottle! The contraction was so violent that father had to wrap the bottle in a tea towel and break it before my head did indeed get sucked into the bottle.
Loopy Linda has joined facebook and she is not called Loopy Linda for nothing! A few years ago a group of us went to Calella in Spain. Cockney Terry had a few drinky poos and decided to do a full monty in the bar where we were drinking along with two of the barmen. Once he got down to his underclarts one of the barmen gave terry a Officers hat to cover his modesty but Terry put the hat on his head and dropped his pants to a rowdy cheer from all present. Terry had Ginger hair and freckles everywhere. "Oooh Terry" said Loopy Linda, "You've got freckles everywhere - even on your willy!" Quick as a flash Terry replied, " Yes I have and I have been trying to rub them off since I was twelve."
Sorry it's a bit random but I am feeling a bit random.
Keep smiling
