Missives and epistles

 'Course, when you get to my age you start getting lots of letters from the NHS. Like this one:

Dear Mr Musgrove,

Please stop sending us pieces of shit on sticks. We have more than enough to be getting on with.

Love and kisses
The Poo Clinic

  1. The 'Ladybird Book of the Meeting' ends, if I remember correctly, with a page saying words to the effect...

    "You think that by retiring you've escaped meetings? No. You'll find that you're having meetings with doctors and nurses from now on."

    Never was a truer word said in jest.

  2. I don't think you're supposed to put poo on the sticks.

  3. Webrarian: Oddly enough I realised the other day that it's been more than ten years since I last saw a doctor on my own account.

    Scarly: You wait until you're old like us, the NHS becomes a remote version of Taskmaster,

  5. I always think of A.A. Milne when someone mentions poo(h) sticks.
    And I know I have been in absentia for ages, but something came up on Facebooks that put me in mind of you. I don't know why...apparently, someone has been leaving pornography in a free library book exchange and it has been suggested that said person "move to the cesspit that is Hebden Bridge."

    I hope you are well and happy, Kev.
