This all reminds me of a visit we had from both our mothers a few weeks ago.  We'd had a lovely lunch, cooked by Mrs Airfix and were sitting in the living room when Mrs A asked me to put the kettle on.

As I got up from the sofa, I gave a short grunt of effort (it's getting like that, now) and, without missing a beat, I looked my mother straight in the eye and said, "How does it feel when you hear your son doing that?"

I've done that since I bought my first house in my 20's.

However I also think when you start saying food tastes fresh when you eat it. Something I recall my Grandparents, and now my parents doing.

When I tell my boy to stop being glued to his PS4, and get a life like I used to when I spent most of it larking about outside with my mates.

You're not old enough, Burt, if you know what a PS4(?) is.

You know you like cooked cheese but it will only make you suffer later on.

The swelling in the back of the neck isn't a worry because you'll probably be dead before you can get anybody to look at it.
