You need to get old Norm up there Harry, and keep him in line with the knotted rope :laughing: :laughing:

2822

Harry and Co you can keep your bright idea’s to yourself, only a few weeks ago I took off two old taps from my washbasin and put on the lever type to make it easier for my wife, I said a few curses like cowbag, and muttered to myself I am retired. Yesterday I was in the Garden, pruning so to fill up my brown garden bin , I came in after and had my dinner and zonked out on the settee for three hours, I do not do that normally. Now I ask the question, am I getting too old? or is retirement knocking the stuffing out of me! :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
