Thanks Chemo,
I did close and reopen and it still wasn't there.
Thanks for the Utube link, hilarious.
Brings back memories of one of my first girlfriends ( BEFORE I MET THE GOOD LADY), she being a newly qualified pharmacist was in her dads Pharmacy or Chemists as it is here in Blighty. I popped in on the way past at lunchtime, her dad was out, we were chatting when this shifty looking guy came in, started looking around then came up to the counter. I politely moved a litte away and he asked for some Durex, Allison being young and newly qualified got all flustered so much so that the guy did as well.
She walked off and came back with a tube of Borax water softening tabs. Gave him them and charged, he paid up, got change and walked out with his tube of water softeners looking totally bewildered. Me being me just roared laughing and suggested she better not bring those along if we were going out tonight.
At that I was chucked out.

I DO like his humour. Didn't know he played the piano.
he doesn't play the piano. If you look carefully he omly tinkles the white keys and he is playing nothing at all. Carl does have a musical ear so he can get away with it. he also does an act with a guitar but once again its the same thing he doesn't actually play it.
Carl made me laugh a lot during my chemo
