As you have yourself admitted that you had been drinking heavily all day, we shall assume that the beer goggles were in effect
and she was in fact a sweaty mass of desperate blubber.

In fact this is quite relevant because I often used to watch it after drinking in the Old Mill in Baginton, when it was my local.

And there may be nothing wrong with renting now, but when you're retired with an income of 144 pound a week then good luck paying your rent and your bills!

it's fairly likely that your parents will have to sell it to pay for long term care.

the beauty of working hard and getting your own house, means that when your parents die, you get 2 houses.
And then you can rent one out and have loads of cash for booze and kebabs and pizza and booze and lovely cocaine.

Good plan.
They sent me expired membership cards, this year. By way of an apology, they sent me a voucher for a free pot of tea, followed by a list of trains in which the voucher couldn't be accepted.
I've never felt so valued.

There's only water in rivers, but every one gets wind.

Both windmills and watermills are a reminder of both the laziness and redundancy of the working classes.

I've been helping with this Windmill for about 10 years

Somebody climbs up the frames to put the sails on if it is not too windy. We have a right laugh.

I do enjoy a good water mill.
There's something about the bucolic patter of the water reverberating off the old wooden blades that reminds me of the good old days of the Industrial Revolution, when you could send children to work without pay and beat them if they didn't work hard enough.
