At the back of your kitchen cupboard is something pickled or preserved in a jar that you were given for Christmas several years ago that you’ve never quite felt like eating.
Throw it out now.

I sometimes think of the taxi driver who, in response to a friend of mine complaining about the state of the world, sighed and said “Thing is, mate, 100 years time? All new people.” Looked at him over his shoulder. “All new people.”

I don't pretend to know the science behind it, but it's beyond dispute that coffee and tea taste at least 63% better when you're drinking them from your most cherished mug.

My mum made a chocolate fudge cake for my daughter’s birthday. She put all my daughter’s favourite chocolate on top. The cake dipped and the main chocolate sunk. It tasted awesome but gave us Never Ending Story flashbacks!

In a carpet shop, the salesman brought out book of samples.
I said “I don’t think any of those will be big enough”.
Stoney silence.

My daughter bought a new mirror for her student house. I said “that’s a really nice mirror. I could see myself using that” I laughed and she just rolled her eyes in disgust.

You have to feel sorry for pregnant elephants. They have a ridiculously long gestation period, but nobody ever talks about the elephant in the womb.

Don't have an advent calendar, so I'm opening a different neighbour's window every morning.
Today's pic: screaming man in a bath. Not very festive 🙁
