Re: Rip Van Winkle

I would look out the window to see if it was winter, spring, autumn or summer, wonder where I was as the garden looked like a jungle outside.

I would then pick my long hair up off the floor, ring my hairdresser to get it cut.... and wonder why no-one answered.

Too easy. The first thing I'd do would be to open my eyes to have a look around.

Hi

Wake up, look out the window.

If I see any EU Flags flying I would go back to sleep.

2100?, so that's about eighty years..... I would probably get down to Argos and see if my parcel is ready for collection yet.

Re: Rip Van Winkle

See if the Tories are still in government and still doing a stirling job, if so I'd log onto OFF to see if UJ was still posting "nasty party" threads.
