The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.
Careful with the numbers now. A (stupid) pal of mine told his wife "You are the double of Cheryl Cole." When she was flattered but modestly insisted she didn't really see the similarity he said: "No, I mean she's 8 stone and you're 16 stone." She didn't share his sense of humour (but I did).
This was about 8 months ago and he still seems to be intact and the lady in question is now about 11 stone and looking good. "Win, Win... Cruel to be kind," he claims.
Happy birthday, for sure, and all the best to not-wife, but aren't you, Jams, too free with information? I mean, there could be sanctions applied if you are, you know how it goes...
The not-wife is 46 today

O to be young again, Jams. I can't even remember life at 46.
Ah Calum but you are young at heart!
Ah congratulations and many happy returns of the day!
Thank you Mojo!
I've been 36 for a couple of decades now and life is fine. Very best wishes to your lovely partner.
Thank you Susan.. I have been 35 for longer than the not-wide but I wish my damned knee didn't ache!

Warm wishes to your partner and best friend. Lifting my glass in celebration. Have a great family day!
Going away for a holiday in the country. No internet! Will catch up when I return.
And this guy has how many testicles now Andrew?
Thanks Claude. Have a great holiday!

Ah Andrew, All's well that ends well
If I had saud that I fear that the cats would have dined on mountain oysters!
That's a lovely photo. Happy birthday to Jams's youthful not-wife!

Happy birthday, for sure, and all the best to not-wife, but aren't you, Jams, too free with information? I mean, there could be sanctions applied if you are, you know how it goes...
Thanks Liz
