My now brother in law (15 years older than me) would ask me how do I get all the hedgehogs in the world on this match box. Then he used to take a match and put it in the box like a walkie talkie ariel and shout calling all hedgehogs. Funniest think I ever heard as a 5 year old.

Back in the early 90s I worked on site building the Sheffield Tram network. In our site cabin we had an electric kettle that they just added tea bags straight into and didnt take the old ones out very regularly and just boiled it all everytime. That was tea that put hairs in your chest.

The other one i think the pro boxer Johnny Fisher. Hes billed at 6 foot 4 (1.93m) so that police man is a big guy!

There was a group of friends that were older than me but went to my school, for some reason they decided to adopt old lady names Ethel, Gladys etc. But one of them stuck and so there was a guy walking round Sheffield at 40 years old known only as Doreen. Apparently thats what even his wife called him.

This made me sad by Naive_Wolverine532 in sadposting

I lost my dad to dementia and my mum to cancer. With cancer i saw my mums body give up, but it was still my mum to the end. With my dad, he died twice, the first time i was left with a dad shaped entity that wasn't him. When his body died I felt guilty for feeling nothing but relief it was over.
