MISCHIEF NIGHT

Traditionally especially in Yorkshire, the 4th of November is mischief night, The best bit of mischief which we ever play in my childhood, was when door had snecks, More correctly known as Suffolk Latches. To gain entry you used to have to press your thumb on brass Finger piece. Our trick was to firstly put a drawing pin onto the sneck and then surround it with horse manure, As sure as eggs are eggs, the poor person trying to gain entry would firstly press his or her finger on the latch. When the pin pricked his or her finger   they would put it straight in their mouths, horse muck & all

WEDNESDAY 19th August 2015

For about six weeks now I have been suffering from what was originally described as a respiratory infection. In the past three weeks, I have had three courses of Antibiotics and not  really much improved. Yesterday & rang my Dr. Dr. Sophie Kaye of Church Lane surgery Brighouse & she suggested that I take no more antibiotics and go to the Calderdale Royal Hospital and have a chest x-ray which I did. The technician told me that the results would be sent to my Doctors surgery in 1 weeks time. In the mean time I continue to cough & splutter and carry on taking anything other than Antibiotics . Nothing to do with the above, but the other day I heard a nice Quotable Quote . Why is your brain like a parachute . Because it is quite useless unless you keep it open
