Unofficial Christ's Hospital Forum

I am not (yet) a senior though advancing quickly through middle age, but as you have all realised I stil have (most of) my wits about me, as do the more senior members of this forum. But we have all had them, where did I leave my specs/library book/car keys/even baby when a knackered new parent?

My boss did the best one today, he dropped me off at the office after a meeting and drove off to buy some lunch. 3 and a quarter HOURS later he said, "where did I leave my car?"
Outside the sandwich shop on a double yellow line with the doors unlocked and THE ENGINE RUNNING.

He had walked back to the office, only a hundred yards or so, don't know why he took the car in the first place except he was already in it.

He was 40 on 15th May.

O.M.G! And it was still there!

I shouldn't say this, but he really needs a check-up !!!!!

That is what we thought.

I do A LOT of eye-rolling when he is around. He did say he would hate to work with him.

If that had happened here (and if the local lout happened to be out of jail) the car would have been trashed.

I quite like the sound of your Boss !

Of course we do Senile things ---- but the BEST action, is when we deliberately feign Senility -- to do something which we would not dare to do , if believed to be "Compos Mentis"

I am 81 ---- and I can get away with all sorts of things ------ Yes JR --- no Girl is safe !

However --- if the Blessed Anne is around --- she has me Taped -- and in tow !

If my eye happens to wander toward a stunning Blonde --- I hear the growl "HEEL ! "

Neill, do you know the Senility Prayer - an adaptation of the Serenity Prayer? I have it here somewhere, but cannot remember where I have put it - how ironic is that?!

Something like this?
Lord, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do,
and the eyesight to tell the difference.

That's the one, Mary. thank you.
