That's what their like around here. They are at you constantly, if you give one say fifty pence, the next day another asks you for fifty pence.So they work together in groups. One of them though is aggressive but a wimp really, as I've told him to piss off,and now he keeps away. He picks on...

There was a beggar who has gone from Bell Green, instead of giving him cash I gave him a cheese/tomato sarnie. He looked at it in disgust and asked me to buy him a can of lager instead !

Where I live in Bell Green the beggars watch your every move in and out the shops. If you have a bag full of food,they think to themselves he's well off and are in your face asking for cash. So in a way winning the lottery etc would be the same, people will target you. Better off being skint !

In my wild past and I was banged up in Winson Green nick in Brum in the 80's,three to a cell. We were allowed to go to the library so I came back with a couple of Dickens novels. My cell mates both were reading comics ! They thought I was posh because I was reading David Copperfield !

I remember saying that Charles Dickens was my favourite author and the group of people I was with looked at me as if I was joking. Probably not trendy enough !

Me and my sister were clearing out my dads house, what to keep/lob out etc, when his phone rang. It was a landline one and my sister answered it. We thought it was a call from BT as we were going to get it cut off and cancel it all. But it was from his water company, the chap was really stroppy...

Was it Oscar Wilde who said : " All I leave behind is my genius. "

When he died we still had to pay water/gas bills etc.They were all friendly at first then quickly turned nasty. I was shocked at their attitude. This was in 2001 so maybe they've changed a bit ?

When my dad passed away he left me and my sister to pay off his bills,he gave up paying them. He didn't do it on purpose he just never gave it much thought. Different generation ?

I'm glad I'm friends with my son and sister as there have been some wobbles along the way. My son can have my vinyl collection, there's a few bob in there !

As we hear of the passing of Tom Petty, on the radio fellow musicians have said he's left behind his great music, and this is a great legacy to leave to his family and friends and fans. How true is that. But it got me thinking what I'll leave behind ? It won't be money as I've got none, but I've...

He left his art work though. You knew what I meant.

Sad news. But one thing great artists always leave behind is their music.

Just heard that he's still alive. On life support ?

Another great gone. I was watching an old DVD the other day, Old Grey Whistle Test. And Tom Petty was on it. Doing American Girl, what a track that is !

Never knew. First I've heard of that !

What's up with Tom Petty then ?

If it stops you fighting Houch keep listening to him ! When I was on anger management sessions some years back, I was given a couple of CDs,still got them. One is of bird songs and I put it on the other day and it sounded great. Really relaxing, but put the best of Thin Lizzy on afterwards !

You won't get a word in though !

I'm well pleased about the bungalow, not sure where it will be though ? A pal of mine had one by Canley Crem. Said it was great and a nice little garden too. Knowing my luck end up next to another dealer !
