Wow!  Some of those brought back some memories.  I recall being quite good at Etch-a-Sketch.  One glaring ommission from that list is the Spacehopper, which I believe came into existence in around 1969. I remember having one, and bouncing off of it, landing flat on my nose against the kerb.  I've still got a bump on my nose now, and find it difficult to find glasses that fit properly as a result!

Very good Den!   

One morning A guy was sitting on a bench next to a homeless Man and the Guy asked him how he ended up this way.

He said: "Up until last week, I still had it all!!!

A cook, my clothes were washed & pressed, I had a roof over my head, I had TV, internet, I went to the gym, the pool, the library, I could still go to school ..."

Guy asked him, "What happened? Drugs? Alcohol? Divorce???"

"Oh no, nothing like that" he said. "No, no ... I got out of prison."   

Clifford and Daisy May were married for many years.

Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling could be heard deep into the night.

Clifford would shout, "When I die, I'll dig my way up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your life ol' woman!!"

Neighbours feared him.

Old Clifford liked the fact that he was feared.

He died at the ripe old age of 98.

After the burial, Daisy May's neighbours, concerned for her safety, asked, "Aren't you afraid that he may indeed be able to dig his way out of the grave and haunt you for the rest of your life?"

She replied, "LET HIM DIG. I HAD HIM BURIED UPSIDE DOWN...AND I KNOW HE WON'T ASK FOR DIRECTIONS." 

We saw him on stage in Cardiff in the late 60s.    Brian Wilson.
