I'm going over to visit my mate this morning, just in case his wife and her brother are throwing out my mates Panther..............  ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I used to be a hoarder....then I started saying the mantra "If it hasn't been used in the last year it's gone." Works like a charm.

That's what I used to do, but inevitably that week after you throw it away you need it for something...

That's an easy fix.  Just change it to "If it hasn't been used in the last year and a week it's gone. ;D ;D

I don't know Terry isn't that an invasion or something? I think I would have a tendency to have a quiet word with said brother.

Well to be honest, it's none of my business, my mate is big enough and ugly enough to put his wife and his brother-in-law in their place, but it's a funny relationship, for sure. Cheers, Terry. ;D
