Many happy returns, Dame Twiggy - 75 years old today!

Another snippets post today, dear reader:

The weather? Rather lovely at the moment...

  1. A pirate walks into a bar with a ship’s wheel sticking out the front of his pants.
    The bartender asks, "Why do you have a ship’s wheel sticking out of your pants?"
    Pirate says, "Aaaarrr, it's driving me nuts"

    1. We love Twiggy, but it is difficult to picture her as old...

      We've eaten in loads of chain restaurants (and the Madam has worked for several!) over the years, but TGI Fridays was always a mystery. What was the attraction for people to want to go there? Even as a student in the 80s, when it was all new and shiny - and close to my college, so a popular gathering-place - I found it completely lacking any kind of atmosphere or any food worth eating at the prices they charged. There are several similar chains that are equally perplexing, like Frankie and Benny's, Garfunkels or Giraffe that have no apparent reason to exist, yet still hang on by their fingernails... Jx

  3. Aargh, prepare to be boarded, ye knavish land lubber. And I didn't even know TGIF and Tupperware were still around.

    1. I've been boarded more times than Boeing in my time...

      Nobody's likely to miss either demise, tbh. Jx
