Happy Birthday Lay Lay

[Gaspode]

Alayah, youngest Granddaughter, is eight years old today. Where do the years go?

[Phillip Phlopp]

Happy birthday sweetie.

The years are certainly catching up with granddad, can't see the photo.

[Gaspode]

I'll sort it later Phil. Right now I have all the symptoms of a cold thanks to the jab. Why does a cold affect us blokes more than women?

[Raif]

Piggy will be along to tell you...

Well:
Men and women are like internal combustion engines you see.

However, men are like Formula One engines; high performance and powerful, but temperamental.


Women are like those old donkey engines you get in bilge pumps, and generators in Africa; low performance, but very reliable.


Now, think of a virus or cold as a handful of sand.

You chuck it into a Formula One engine, and it’ll stop.

If, however, you chuck it into a old donkey engine; the donkey engine will splutter a bit, but carry on working.


That’s why men and women react differently to a cold or flu.


Anyway; happy birthday wee lass.
I hope that grandad got you a nice present.
That's his job.

Bugger! Did it not work again? That 3 different ways I've tried, out of ideas now,...

[Redpig59]

Sorry, Gassy, yes, it's there - twice now.

[Gaspode]

She is very cheeky indeed. As you all know she is severely disabled and has a torrid time health wise during her short life, but she has a very playful intelligence that belies all that. As someone wiser than me (no not Arpee this time) once said:

"When you judge someone based on a diagnosis you miss out on their abilities, beauty and uniqueness"

She is a very special young lady who I love very much.
