The last Prowse?

 

A bit of fun to kick off this post.

Well, some of you will know that I'm a grandfather.

The shadow belongs to his dad
who is taking the picture.

Many years ago, I found dad (the shadow guy who was about eight, or younger, at the time) crying in his bed.

He told me sadly, "I'm going to be the last Prowse." - he was the youngest Prowse at the time.

Dad was eventually proven very wrong - there are heaps of younger Prowses now!

The youngest now is his cute little son, Harrison Robert Prowse.

Will Harrison grow up with the same fear as his father?

No, I can tell you that is not going to happen.

How do I know?

Because the next little Prowse is due next April.

Come on Peter, you were in 3 Pee, do the maths!

I will have two grandchildren - two boys with the surname Prowse.

In these days, when rents (and mortgages) are very high, both parents have to work.

That means that I will be a very busy grandad. Hey, but I can handle that!

For a starter, I have a collection of very good jokes and riddles.

Here are a few examples of my riddles:

Q. Colin gets two dogs, a German shepherd and a poodle. What is he called now?

A. Colin.

Q. What is brown and looks like a stick?

A. A stick.

Q. A horse walks into a bar. What does the barman say?

A. "Why the long face?"

Q. Two Irishmen see a sign saying, "Tree fellers wanted." What does one of them say?

A. "If Sean was here, we could have gone for that job."

Okay, you're probably rolling around laughing now. 

One thing is for sure, these two little boys are due for a humour treat!

I'll leave you there for today.

Ciao tutti.

How hard was that?
Are you sure that's a double bass you play?

You might as well have said that it's your local Cosmopolitan Club. Richard won't be allowed to go there either.

TC is in very good form, joke wise. I'll try to use his jokes with Harrison (age - nearly 19 months). Well, he does know how to do a high five. That's Harrison. I'm not sure if they learnt that in 3 Pee in 1966.

I never thought that I'd say this but Robert's blog has more interesting and more frequent posts.

Your jokes are going flat.

It looks like this blog has a puncture.
This woe is added to it running on empty, having trouble with its big end and needing a rebore (actually, it covers that quite well).

When TC has to sign a post 'TC', you know he's not allowed in 'the office', where the real computers are.
