Wednesday wanderings
Ages from 55 to 64
This purports to be a photo of American air stewardesses who pension plans seem to have flown away. They have produced a 14 page 'Womens Institute' sort of calendar to publicise their plight.
I have great difficulty with the 55 to 64 bit. Admittedly, any female with a pulse (even weak) and over 60 looks attractive to me but these look extremely well preserved. My guess is that Grandma is the slightly heavy-thighed one with her foot up on the tyre. Given, the other tyre pusher seems to have Boots No 14-type makeup so it may be her. None of those bikini bottoms looks like enough to cover a double strength incontinence pad. Opinions anyone? This picture has put some pressure on my wifey as I have challenged her to produce a photo where she looks like any of these at any age.
My visit from The Police yesterday went off very well. First question was 'did I remember murder of (soldier's name) in 1971'. The brain snapped shut like a $500 rat trap and I was able to remember his regiment and manner of death. They went through a number of other questions and my recollection was as clear as yesterday. They then produced my report into the shooting and asked specific questions from that. Again, on the ball. I could have done Do You Want To Be A Millionaire all the way through with no life lines. As happens, other things came up as we went along - I even remembered covering the shooting and death some 12 months later of the IRA man who killed the soldier. We had some good chatting - all in that sort of language and style confined to police. For just a few hours, I felt that I was not really a useless, oxygen- stealing, coffin-dodging old fart. Given the volume of work I did whilst in NI, they may well have to come again on other queries. Bring them on!
