Amazing! What fence will touch it?

Indeed. This a slightly esoteric one from the classical guitar forum yesterday:

When Beryl Reid was invited to dinner by Noel Coward she found that he was much preoccupied with death. "Do you know" he said, "The hair on your chest goes on growing after you die " "Not on me!" she said, to which he replied "Ah! My dear! You are far too easily discouraged! "

I just cannot imagine Noel Coward with a hairy chest, either. Is there any documentary proof that he had?

I've just tried a Google search for 'Noel Coward in swimming trunks' & found pictures of Noel Coward, men in swimming trunks, swimming trunks on their own, Albert Einstein (!?) and a Pullman railway carriage called Doris (!!??), but no pictures of Coward showing off his hairy chest.

When I first saw this my stomach dropped. Shit, I thought, I have only 3 years left.

You're a day late, my friend.

Quite a good one - except that it breaks the cardinal rule for AFJs - it tells us it's a joke.

(SA - I don't think Rex was trying to fool us - just pointing out that he was fooled )

Perhaps they had to add that on account of all the worried pensioners bombarding them with questions and worries? I do like the idea of the elderly being a danger to other road users because they drive carefully and don't break laws.

Yes, I was rather pleased with that, being a pensioner. But I wasn't too keen on the idea of 'autonomous' cars - sounds like the sat nav takes over the actual driving, rather than just telling you where to go. Not only that, it also decides where you are going to go - "It's Wednesday today, so we'll go to B&Q as it's Diamond Club day".
