When I was six I fell on my bike on a cinder path.
Although my knee was cleaned I still had small bits of the path in my knee.
I am 76 this month and there is just still one tiny bit visible.
Iâve noticed here that, even if itâs not funny, people tend to ignore it and this is one of the very few threads which stay on topic. Another is the Wordle one!

Iâm afraid he may get the jobâŠvery funny but extraordinary how people can still be fooled by a soap box rabble rouser snake oil salesman but itâs happened before⊠plus ça change, plus câest la mĂȘme chose⊠Iâm all in favour of political jokes
