Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[dafydd manton]

:lol:

It's inverted here in the UK. The Northern term is soft southern ********. I don't know whether it's fair though.

We don't hear anything about your end of the world here - or anywhere exept the USA for that matter.

No it isn't!!!! Funnily enough, I played Rugby in the south, and when I came up here, it was very soft and namby-pamby in comparison. Also, the number of people up here who who whinge about the cold, never mind being convinced that at any point south of Watford there are two Jags on every drive, drives you crackers. I just make the accent a bit stronger, and tell 'em "Oh, you Northerners - we breed 'em tough where I come from". And if you want to hear the biggest bunch of Jesses in the planet, listen to local radio on about the dreaded football, and they're crying like a collection of big girl's blouses. Ah, Sheffield, the gateway to.......something!

No more talk of clipped, clamped, and cauterized (especially by military medical personnel)-well, that just makes me cringe less. Sorry for the lambs, more sorry for the owners. Rain?

[dafydd manton]

And whether we can find somebody who cares.....................

[The Atheist]

Sounds like you are taking a beating down there.

The funny thing is, we actually got off lightly - the main part of the storm passed 1000km to the south of southern NZ.

If it had passed over us, I doubt anything would be left standing.


Elissa is not eqiupped to handle those storms!
I'll drop anchor at Easter Island for the time being.

Isn't it too close to Xmas for Easter?


Oh dear, a shortage of lamb! I hope prices don't go up.:drool5:

Yes, one man's pain is your gain!

Swings & roundabouts. I hope you don't have to go through it!



To be fair though, the second article about the Mental affects of a disasterous lambing time is spot on. I have known a couple, and it is difficult to keep fighting the overwhelming feeling that every thing you do is useless, and you might as well stay in bed. Its probably a mixture of exhaustion and depression.

Yep, and most farmers do care for their animals and seeing them die of cold or milk fever must be very hard.

I'd swap!

I think you might need to upgrade that "some" to "plenty" going by the drop-off in posting!

:D

I have no idea what her face looks like, but I'm sure I could still recognise her.

Funny!

I posted the above and while I'd been typing, this had arrived in the a mail:

This loverboy would not happen to be a certain Yorkshire farmer who has been posted missing recently. I am suspicious. You keep him well away from your vegetable patch. :lol:

Unfortunately, no, Jocky; he's a watered down Irishman, twice removed from the old country...if you find him in a vegetable patch at all, it'll be with a bottle of lagger...snoozing away.
I'm looking to Britain for my next paramour:lol:

Two days without a post!

Parker was almost in tears. There he was with filet de boeuf en croute with the 1959 Burgundy and nobody came to dinner.

(It's not all bad news, the beef makes great sandwiches!)
:drool5: Tell Parker I'm also in tears, I've been eating cheap frozen pizzas and lasagnes on the run:svengo:

Atheist, my dear old thing, the invitation must have got lost in the post. Rather partial to boeuf en croute, with carrots Vichysoisse and satueed potatoes. I hope the Burgundy wasn't a Remoissonel Clos de Vougeot, or I shall be devastated. Please pass on my abject apologies to Parker, assuming he's come round yet.
:svengo: Little carrots and potatos...:drool5::sad:

Just back from Hols. After four days shopping, in Kendal (shoes) Keswick (A new top) Windermere (plate rack for draining board)and Lancaster (nothing, but we had lunch:rolleyes5:) I eventually persuaded Mrs P to go for a lesurely walk among the fells and lakes of Cumbria. It was after all the reason (I thought) we had chosen to head Northwest in the first place.
The day dawned bright and clear and we actually managed one and a half miles above Hawes water before being forced back by a chilly breeze. Coincidentally Mrs P had spotted The Hawes Water Hotel a few minutes before this ill wind struck, so we had a refuge from the storm. The rest of the afternoon was spent in the Hotel lounge sipping expensive tea and listening to Mrs P saying, "This is nice," every 10 minutes or so. After that it rained every day.:(
I'm definitely coming to Britain for a proper beau....shopping and tea;)

Shopping is the primary purpose of holidays apparently. I used to think the primary purpose was relaxing fun. My views have since modified themselves to the actual reality.
So how's your project of the extra acreage going, Paul?

:

It's slackened off since I've had to go back to work, but we get down there usually at the weekend. We've been harvesting the sweetcorn, beans, carrots and courgettes. The winter greens - broccoli, sprouts and cabbage are in. We've put in lots of onions, but the seed hasn't shown yet. We've also put in onion sets.

I just need to get digging over the beds again for winter. :nopity:

a sort of cross between Bertie Wooster and Mr Rochester.

Mrs Clem does indeed help with the plot.In fact she was the driving force behind getting it in the first place. She's the real gardener, who has always kept the house garden looking really nice. I'm like the hired help - strong in arm and weak in head. I'm still learning.

Yes, courgettes are zucchini. We've had a good crop this year - particularly round ones which look a bit like melons. The kids won't eat them, so my wife has taken to making them into tomato type sauces and serving them that way. We're going on Sunday. It's turned a bit cool here so I may need a nip of rum in my tea between digging. Ho ho :D

"Oh, what a falling off there was". The Macalpine reference was us Scots laughing at ourselves, as we do. Germans, no, it was a go at the 'Keeper of the Keys'. Shriners, hardly that could get me in big trouble, like burned at the stake. Dutch ??? Mexicans, I have never met one in my life and have no reason to dislike them. This might interest you vaguely, my son in law is Chinese and two of my grandchildren are half Scots and half Cantonese. As to your ethnicity I have no problem with it at all. As for the chorus , you know who you are GROW UP.

Oh, there's worse. A White Horse goes in to a pub, orders a pint. Barman can't resist it, says "We've got a whisky named after you"

Horse says, "What.......Eric?"

[The Atheist]

Ah, how far we've come!

Jocky - you reminded me of something I'd meant to post but had forgotten.

Middle son had a father & son evening at his school a fortnight back. Great sport - they'd set the hall up with various manly activities: bivouac building, river crossing, laser strike and desert survival.

As the bloke looking after the bivouac-building looked in amazement at the structure we built, I laughingly suggested to him that asking a bushman to compete against softhands from Auckland was a bit unfair. So we won that.

River crossing was ok, but we couldn't beat some of the nippier dads & kids, while the desert survival did not go at all well thanks to junior picking a water carrier with a hole in it!

Final event of the night, laserstrike!

Now, I haven't done this for 30 years, but I figured I had still remembered what to do when the bloke in charge checked in surprise at how many kills I'd made and how little I'd been shot.

Roll forward to the prize-giving and I thought we might have gone ok, but to my shock, we won the grand prize, with the boy collecting new games and a week at an adventure school.

Boys. Too easy.

Excellent. I used to like the challenges they set us in the TA. I'm not saying I was any good but my thick-headed effort helped sometimes.

I've often suggested team building type activities for our lot at work, but the 70% women don't seem to like it -so no doing. Boo!

... and now we're out of cash. Bah!

[dafydd manton]

Be fair, Paul, you're just working on the assumption that a "bonding hug" would be better with one of your female colleagues than with a big hairy squaddie! I hope so, anyway..

Yeah, I think the gene pool is purer in your part of the country; you'll probably be chasing around Mrs A when you're 90...she may even suggest you and Parker get a few native concubines.
I always thought Doris liked women; who could have hung out with Rock and not tried to turn him around:smilielol5:


Soundo, not many divorces? I've only done it twice!!!!!!! And I'm not ruling out.......!!!!!

Relax, humans are humans, whatever the race!!!!!

That's because you were waiting for me, dafydd...shall we meet at the tower in 30 years from this day...that is, if my heart and walker will carry me:arf:

In America, women don't even hug their female children for fear of turning...we're always shocked when we see our french and latin ladies holding hands, walking down the streets together.

Thanks for the offer, Soundo.....do they sell pacemaker batteries round there?

They actually sell self chargers for the heart (just in case the ambulance doesn't arrive in time)...and who knows, in 30 years, I might be able to buy a body that will fit into my size 5 bikini...

I'm not sure if my walker will make it up the hill, though:smilielol5:

I had an 86 year old man make a veal and spagetti dinner for me Sunday (I was nursing his brother); he visited with his young-looking 77 year old wife; he told me the secret to his logevity was injecting botox below his mid-section:reddevil:

I'm thinking of trying it:D

[The Atheist]

Cor blimey! What a couple of days.

This week is the first of NZ's spring school holidays, so the terrible two go their different ways to friends' houses to play.

3.15 Monday, daughter arrives home in a car unexpectedly. The mum whose house she'd been at explained that she'd fallen off the scooter and hurt her arm.

Hurt ended up being a bit short of the reality!

She'd managed to break both bones in her right arm. Taking a tumble off the scooter, she had somehow managed to land on the top of the bone on your outer wrist, right at the end of the ulna.

Both bones snapped clean in half about an inch from the hand end of her arm bones!

Being only eleven, it was a "greenstick compression fracture, where, even though the bones had gone through a 90 degree break, they hadn't broken apart. I'll try to get the x-ray pics up to show it, because it looks pretty cool!

The doctors love school holidays.

We went to a suburban treatment centre where we found a damaged neck, leg (2 breaks), another right arm, ribs and several toes and fingers waiting to be fixed/reattached. Most of 'em off scooters. Small wheels, high speed and high centre of gravity always made them a bit suspect, I thought.

Monday night wasn't much fun with little sleep for either me or her - daddy, of course, had to sleep on the floor to be right there next to her. Daddy's bloody back did not enjoy that experience!

Last night, as I type, she's still asleep and has been for about 8 hours, so daddy's managed to not only get some kip, but in an actual bed!

We nearly made the double on Monday as well. The boy was doing some woodwork with me when he walked straight into the corner of a 2-metre sheet of wood, which is 1.2m wide. Exactly the same height as his right eye.

Expecting to see his eyeball hanging from the piece of wood as he let out a hurt noise, I saw that he, on the other hand, had been very, very lucky. Being the last sheet, it was leaning over and the corner only stood 1.19m height.

Nice scratch directly underneath right eye, not even a black eye to show for it. Forgotten two minutes later.

Could've been quite exciting.

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

Well, judging from your typed mood, it sounds like you are breathing a sigh of relief. Being young as she is, the bones should mend up quickly.
When you say "sheet", I take that to mean plywood aka splinter board! especially at edges and corners.
Thank God (did I say that?) he didn't get a splinter in the eye!

Now they will have some great battle scars to share with their mates and stories to stretch.
Unfortunatly, your girls' holiday week is shot.

Gilliatt

[OrphanPip]

Losing an eye terrifies me, a perforated eyeball is one of the grosses things I've ever seen, that and teeth getting pulled makes my skin crawl.

I once got bit in the face by a dog at the shelter, when I was working with abused animals, and I was cut on the eyebrow and right below my eye. Imagine having your eye torn out by a dog. I don't know what compelled me to stay on there for another 2 years.

Nightmare hols Atheist. One of the worst sounds I find around the house is the bump bump bumpity bump down the stairs.

That might be from when I overbalanced at the top with the 9 month old clutched in my arms, and I had to run down to keep my feet. I don't know how I managed. Terrible when the kids get hurt.

Stairs & kids are a bad mix at the best of times!

Christ, one thing that's been an absolute epidemic over here - and Australia - is people running kids over in driveways.

How the hell would that feel? Driving over your toddler?

Mostly due to idiots that think a gigantic 4WD is "safer", it seems.

How awful, poor Baje, didn't she just get over a knee injury? How is your back? I used to spend the nights at hospitals with Mr Sounds, but I was much younger; I don't think I could manage it now...don't they even have a nice soft chair for you?

You aren't kidding. When Jess was a toddler, she started walking down the steps of our apartment building; I was afraid she was going to fall so I picked her up (I was in 3 inch heels on wet cement steps), tumbled down 16 steps and she was knocked out. I was in shock; I couldn't move or think. When I took her to the hospital they laughed it off, "Kids bounce" they said.

No hospital, just at home, and no, we don't have chairs and the couch won't fit in her room.

Everyone's AOK now, though.

Here is the famous double-broken arm!

You can clearly see the kink close to the wrist where the bone doubled over. I can tell from looking at it that that hurt!

I'm hurting just looking at it. Well, you're sure a good dad sleeping next to her bed...
My chairs are 30 years old; 2 gave out from under me and I've got them in my room, hoping to put them back together...the dowels gave way.

I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but there was terrible news recently from China. A man ran over a boy with his car four times, and then tried to run off.
If you want to know more about this incident, here it is on a blog on China:

I would advise against looking at the video. It is very disturbing. No one really did anything about the incident when it happened, and the images are sickening. But it did happen.

Taking into account the curmudgeonly age of some of our chaps, I'd like to know if any of you share with me the extremely annoying complaint of hyperprostatism - an elarged prostate gland? Medically known as benign prostate hyperplasia.

Thanks to some self-study, I have come to the conclusion that asparagus is an irritant to elarged prostates and I want to try to figure if it's just mine, or if it does affect other blokes as well.

I want to run an informal study, getting blokes with hyperprostatism to eat asparagus and take notes.

My first impression was Marlon Brando and The Godfather



...my past - which is perhaps a good thing as I had a mullet for a good while in the 80s...



The way we describe a mullet back home is: "business in front, party in back"


Boys,

It's time you wish me a happy birthday !

The first round of Wild Wurzel's is on me!
(not sure why it didn't show up on LitNet-must not of entered my B-day on the profile)



Gentleman and lady,
It' that time of year (again) when you wish me a happy birthday! (5th)

I'm back from home sitting in my hotel treating myself to a Wild Turkey and Coke.

Cheers

They claim it is wonderful for prostatitis: drains the kidneys, has alot of rare vitamins

The "they" that claim that seem to be a load of alt-med scammers. I have yet to find any actual medical science that says anything about the green shoots.



Gentleman and lady,
It' that time of year (again) when you wish me a happy birthday! (5th)

Off to school, then!


You write very well for a young fella.

...The godfather without the vineyards and car bombs...I actually think he looks a bit like Scott Fitzgerald.
I had forgotten that description of the haircut...
Happy, Happy Birthday...can I do a thread so everyone will bake a pretend cake and all the ladies will send you kisses (and perhaps, some of the more affectionate lads)

Oh, I forgot to tell you; the secret to getting all the benefits of medical science is to do exactly the opposite of what they tell you...that's how I avoided catching syphilis when they were giving it in vaccines in the 40's (of course, it helped that I wasn't born yet and I was the wrong gender to join the army and the wrong ethnicity to get the vaccine):devil:

Good one.




I didn't know the mullet got across the ocean.



I think it's migratory route has taken it over eastern Europe by now. I certainly had one nesting on my head in the 80s. Soon they'll be back over the US looking for nother Billy - Ray.

Sounds,
I was about to suggest we keep it as our own little secret among the blokes, but I see the mullet's out of the pail.

Haha (five laughing green smilies!)
What I think is more interesting than the hair style itself, is how the term "mullet" was ascribed to it.

I didn't know it was called a mullet on the girls too. The European mullet had a bit more wow than ours.

I wonder why it was called a mullet?

I always figured it was the tail.

I can't say I've had a mullet at any stage, but I had a ponytail as recently as 2006.

Not any more! My hair right now is about 1/2 an inch long.

I change my style about every six months. It's bloody funny when I go from long hair, full beard to goatee and marine cut - even friends stare at me and think "Where do I know you from?"

Harry Arnold's recollections of the Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip

Ever since reading this in a review of a TV programme about the royal family some years ago, Prince Philip has also been an idol of mine.

It is another incarnation of the Sphagetti monster as logged in the ancient annals of google images.

Perhaps I'll revert back... but then I do have a picture of my shed - a fine temporary abode which is solid, though listing slightly to the right, and a bit crumbly at the edges. Perfect in fact.

Here's the latest creation from the workshop - a three-storey dolls' house:

1 metre wide and 1.2 tall.

The line on the roof is actually a hinged section to allow kids to use the third floor.

An uber dolls house!

Did you make it? It looks great.

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

Very nice!

Now we know what became of that injurious sheet of plywood!

Will you continue with FF&E (fixtures, furniture and equipment)?
I believe you can purchase doll house furniture as model kits.

Looks like fun.

[The Atheist]

An uber dolls house!

Did you make it? It looks great.

I did indeed, and the feedback has been good so far.

I'm trying to figure a price for it. I'm thinking somewhere over $500. It contains $150 worth of supplies and took me about 2 days.


Very nice!

Now we know what became of that injurious sheet of plywood!

Bingo!

Yeah, it was quite fun, although the hinged section of roof took a few goes to get right.

I'm leaving the furniture out at this stage. There is a place that imports wooden dolls' house furniture and sells a complete set for $60, so I'll be talking to them so I can offer them furnished if need be.

He sure didn't vote for Dubbya!

yea he does, I saw them once this summer and they were awesome live. I also wanted to see them two years ago, they played in the morning but I overslept and missed them.


Never heard of them, but I just watched Silent Waters on Youtube, If that's an example of their music, I envy you going to see them..

Silent Waters is one of my favorite songs by them, they have just released a new album called Skyforger which I hope they play a lot of numbers of.

So did he go into their intimate relationship; I always heard that Keith and Mick were an item before Mick and Bowie started hitting it:hand:

Old hairy dude with dreads...Don't like the dreads; but I guess it kind of makes him appeal to a larger fanbase. Still, great voice. I do wonder what it is like with some of these fellows after 40, running around, touring different countries, eating all different cuisines...I'd never manage it!

I don't know about that, but Keef certainly doesn't like Mick very much - just put up with him for the sake of the $. Now it's over, he's quite happy to dish the dirt, which so far includes:

Calling Mick "your majesty" due to his overbearing attitude.

Saying that Mick was "too small" to satisfy Marianne Faithful with his "tiny ....".

Telling the world that Mick uses a singing coach - a revelation Jagger tried to stop, apparently, but was thwarted by Keef "just telling the truth".

Very juicy!

I thought his overbearing attitude was part of his claim to fame; like the song, "You're so vain"
I had always heard stories of his enormous appendage; perhaps Marianne was disappointed when she finally met up with it...

Scrolling back a few pages, I see that Prendrelemick and his dalliances with groupies has stirred up the gossip pot.

.

Is prendrelemick keeping something from us...do tell us of your dalliances. Speaking of dalliances; has anyone seen Jockey or Daffyd?


Those quiet northern blokes are ones to watch. Women are drawn to their silent manliness.

I can't stay quiet for long enough to get a taste of that action.

Women are always under the impression that a silent man is one with a past and lots of secrets...

Whereas men are usually attracted to the extrovert.

Oh, god, it's gonna get back onto sex again...

Talk about your patients for a while, that'll cool everyone off.

Like most Scottish and Welsh males at this time of year, Jocky and Daffy will be suffering from PRT (Pre-Rugger-Tension,) its that time of year again.

As to secrets, I'm sure I have some...if only I could remember what they are.

Men do seem to like extroverts; but do they actually look for that in a wife?

I'm trying to forget my patients at the moment...I wonder if I can find some way to become independently wealthy:conehead:

No, I think the classic stereotype is about right. A virgin whose father owns a brewery.

You and me both. Whoever finds it first tells the other, ok?

Fortunately, it isn't always the case. Mrs Atheist is all of 52 kg soaking wet (about 114 lbs).

Her mother is about 140 kg, or 310 lbs.

I kid you not. She is hippo-like.

[Paulclem]

Facebook itself is utterly tedious. We do keep in touch with family through it though - and the lad who's away. As a parent you get a slight insight into what the kids are doing. It's quite nice for that.

Isn't it odd that the rich father works well for men; with a woman, rich in-laws are a nightmare. Some of us choose the virgins also, "Yes, dear, this is what all women want"; but some of us choose the mature, experienced lover...
When I become independently wealthy, I will gloat shamelessly and offer all of my bloke friends stock in my company...actually, I think you may have a better chance at finding wealth since I spend most of my time dreaming:icon_bs:

It is helpful that way; the kids seem to share all of the things they keep from us. I just befriended my nephew, his parents took pride in bringing him up in a Christian, very strict, hands on home; he now has videos of speeding through a tunnel, eyes closed, hands off the wheel in his parents Lincoln SUV...

Went to the hospital with my wife's old Uncle yesterday - flow speed empty tank efficiency check on the old bladder. It's a huge place, (the hospital, not his bladder) - new and clean, (the old hospital was horrible). He's 87 and still going - strong-ish and still uncomplaining and cheerful.

Despite being new and clean and busy - the hospital is still incredibly boring. Magnolia walls - though fairly relaxing are boring. Hopefully by the time I'm going for a flow speed empty tank efficiency check we'll have incredible palm computers that link us into a 3-d virtual internet arena where we can still partake in martial games which have feelistic - though not painful - quality to them.... hopefully...

Either that or we just film ourselves at home and they'll do splash calculations on such flow. You never know...

Please excuse my brief diversion from the current topic, but I wanted to bring this important bit of infomation to your attention.
As you well know, one of my responsibilities as a card carrying bloke, is to periodically check in on the TBRC.
I am happy to report the 10th annual Texas Bigfoot Conference will take place October 30th in Tyler Texas.

http://www.texasbigfoot.org/

Unfortunately, I am stuck here in Illinois, so I will not be able to attend.
However, I will follow up this weekend and try to get my hands on a copy of the meeting minutes.

In the meantime, perhaps I can locate a similar organization up here in Illinois.
Regardless of location, we are all "brothers in feet".

The only think I like about my hospital is that they have a Starbucks coffee stand, a few free computers, soft chairs and some of the individual clinics have good televisions...unfortunately, that doesn't make up for the amount of people coughing on you, the waiting time...it takes about 3 hours to get your medication if everything goes well...and the drive to and fro...

I try never to have any of those tests on my favorite parts; if they aren't bothering me, I'm sure not blowing water up them, starving for 2 days and taking dozens of enemas, swallowing something that turns to rock in my bowels....:eek6:

I used to work for a doctor that had one of those astronaut pens (writes in any direction); one day, someone took his pen, as a joke, he locked himself in his office and refused to see patients until they found his pen.

If we are to employ beasts of burden, then species selection is critical depending on where the expedition takes place.
Gigantopithecus (Bigfoot, Yeti, Snanaik, Abominable snowman, Timber Giants, Splintercat, Sasquatch, et al), have a keen sense of smell.
If we were to enter a particular bigfoot habitat with a species of pack animal not native to that habitat, the pheromones emanating from said pack animals will result in one of two actions.

One – The Bigfoot mob will be spooked at the alien scent and simply disperse.
(by the way a group of three or more Bigfeet are known as a “mob”)

Or

The Bigfeet will become aroused and attack the caravan having their way with you.

Looking at some old posts on the former Music Appreciation sub forum, I came across this comment about performances of opera in modern dress.
Given some of the ribald comments on this thread, I thought that contributors might be interested.

Now, I may be one of those 'old geezers' but I often hate modern scenery and costume. I sometimes get the feeling that the old piece must be modernized by hook or by crook. So we find Nazi officers in uniform in an 18th century opera, there are naked people or whores where they do not belong. A friend of mine saw an opera in Dresden at the Semperoper (!) with half the choir naked. One of the men had an erection on stage - he couldn't help it and seemed to be very much ashamed.

[prendrelemick]

I have a clear childhood memory of seeing Bigfoot in the Upper Calder Valley. I was sat on my Mums knee in the front seat of the Landrover, we were driving down through some woods and I saw a large hairy ape-like creature keeping pace with us about 30 yards away among the trees. It was the size of a large man, and was jumping along like a kangeroo. Although I was only three at the time it is a clear memory. I admit, I had put it down to a three year olds imagination, untill Gilliat's scholarly treatise on the subject.

It may have been a South Pennine sub-species of the more famous Texan Bigfoot or perhaps, like the Grey Squirrel, an introduced alien.

Is it time we had a Yorkshire branch of the TBRC?

This is why yeti-hunting is a lot easier - you can use yaks as beasts of burden.

No, that's definitely a Bunyip (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunyip).

I doubt it's still alive or free now, the tiger (http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/Bengal-cat-theory-after-39tiger39.1584394.jp) would have killed it for sure.

Well it could have been a Bunyip, but a slow acting one. () It was fifty years ago, and I'm not dead yet.

But you sure as hell know you're going to die...


Great stuff guys!...I mean mates!

Whoa !!!
Is that the new Sounds I see ?

Speaking of dead dudes...

Morrison was an alien rather than a cryptohuman, wasn't he?

Have Parker run me yet another cold bath, Sounds is posting pictures of herself in her pomp again.:blush:

Research? I'll follow your lead in not provoking our hairy-assed friend - bigfoot I mean.

:skep: I'm glad you made that clear, Paul, I thought maybe I had waited alittle to long to shave:ciappa::lol:


Looking at some old posts on the former Music Appreciation sub forum, I came across this comment about performances of opera in modern dress.

Now, I may be one of those 'old geezers' but I often hate modern scenery and costume. I sometimes get the feeling that the old piece must be modernized by hook or by crook. So we find Nazi officers in uniform in an 18th century opera,

Reminds me of this movie I absolutely hated; It was the story of Edward II set near the time of WWII:frown2:


I have a clear childhood memory of seeing Bigfoot in the Upper Calder Valley. I was sat on my Mums knee in the front seat of the Landrover, we were driving down through some woods and I saw a large hairy ape-like creature keeping pace with us about 30 yards away among the trees. It was the size of a large man, and was jumping along like a kangeroo.

I do hope your dad was in the drivers seat:willy_nilly:


[QUOTE=Paulclem;972069]Sounds like a great trip. What about an elephant with one of those chairs on the top?

Oh, leading the way, for certain.

In the original photo, I went to the shop, the photographer asked me to remove my top in a room that I was sure had a few cameras...he asked me to say "cheese" for some of the photos; then look the other way and say "sex"...the "sex" photos came out best:lol:
For this photo, I went to a dingy little shop that advertised passport photos for $6.00; a hunchbacked fellow with coke-bottled glasses said "just stand there and don't move"....all considered, it didn't come out half bad..:nod:

Well thats 31 years of marriage (to the same woman) as of today. What happened to that young thrusting couple of yesteryear, who laughed so confidently at life's great adventure? who together rode the troughs and heights of fortune with naive relish.?

Life! mate ,thats what happened.

The last two years have been the most demanding, because the kids have all left home and so we have to start talking to each other again. Its difficult to pick up a conversation 30 years after being rudely interrupted by the arrival of offspring.

I'm thinking of starting a "Perfect Dad" blog, mainly because I found the perfect opening for it:

Standing in the kitchen, surrounded by shards of broken glass from a jar dropped on the tiles - preparing baby's breakfast - while being called from the bathroom where the sick kid has just had a bout of diarrhea in the shower.

I think that's a great idea. Of course the ladies would have the perfect mum thread just like our cold ale/ coffe threads. They'd probably make comments about multi-tasking and organisational superiority, whilst we'd regale each other with tales of winging it that went well.

I presume all turned out ok. The shower's quite a good place for a swill down. Better than all over the carpet/ rug/ tiger skin etc. :D

Paul is right. Tell the one with the jitters to bear up and swish it down the drain with their feet.

I've noticed that lately, people no longer put those sticky "I voted for..." on their cars. NO one wants to be supporting a loser years later...I actually saw a sign on a classic auto that said, "Vote for Goldwater":yikes:

I had a conversation with some friends last week; they feel that I should take a more active role in politics. I asked them who they supported, they first decided they would support the candidates running for senate, for governor. The decided that they would vote for the fellow running for govenor "he's a thief, so no one will be able to pull the wool over his eyes"...they were worried about the other candidate who seemed very genteel "Ah, she's a pushover":sosp:

Yeah, the shower was a lucky break in the end - he had to stay in it and by the time I got there, almost all the brown stuff had gone.


As for the pampered one being fed out of glass jars, start using canned food.
"Wolf Brand Chili" was just fine for our little tike.

:smilielol5:

It was a jar of Vegemite, which he has on toast.

The bad news was that as it was nearly full, it didn't break so much as disintegrate the outer half of the glass. There wasn't a piece bigger than a matchstick, but they were all exceedingly sharp, but as I still have ten toes, it worked out ok!


I looked up that Pam woman on you tube; she's quite a character. The sort that would be fun to hang out with; then lose before she figures out your address.

Yeah, I don't mind old Pam - she always managed to upset people I don't like.

Another classic today:

I am told at 7.10 am that the boy has a shared lunch at school today. That gives me 50 minutes to find some food in a house where we do shopping tomorrow, so there is precious little left.

Cheese scones to the rescue!

24 cooked, cooled, buttered and packed by 8 am.

We could even watch Pam together, she was doing an interview about her alcoholism on youtube... (I don't know why anyone thought that was news)
I must check into this Vegemite stuff; supposedly, that hot Aussie actor who is very skinny, has a big nose and is very sexy thinks it is the food of the gods...
Glad you have all your toes still; I once dated a fellow with 8 toes and he was as mad as a hatter...I wonder if we are like cockroaches and our brain is spread out....I think the doctors took out part of my brain when they desensitized my gspot during surgery:smilielol5:

New weather pattern in Auckland.

It rains only twice a day, for two short periods.

8 am and 3 pm - exactly when I'm walking the brats to school. Three stinking days in a row. I'm sure the baby is starting to think there's a clear plastic window between him and the rest of the outside world.

Tomorrow morning, baseball - which Mrs Athiest does - I am betting on clear blue skies.

[prendrelemick]

Three Days!! You poor thing:sosp:

AS usual we are mired up to the welly tops here in dear old blighty. Oh and the severe gales are making life interesting, this morning I was nearly blown off the quad.

Here on the farm sex is in the air (not on the domestic scene unfortunately.) The tups are rampant and ready for their release tommorrow. The ewes are standing at the gate to their paddock and unashamedly teaseing them. This morning two had managed to jump in with the boys, resulting in a great deal of sex and violence. For me this is the start/end of the year, the cycle begins again.

It's rather chilly here - though it will be much worse up where Mick is. Brisk was the ride to work this morning. Long Johns will be coming out soon. No flap though. I wouldn't trust a flap.

Hi Daffyd - have you been on holiday? I was looking at your website the other day to send you an "are you ok" message. Failed though...

Yes, it's amazing how fast it changes.

A month ago, London and Auckland temeratures were not far off even. Now, we have 15 degrees on the home of GMT.

Thank god it's never cold enough here to need long johns!

I was just about to wonder where he'd got to.

Wales haven't lost for him to be in mourning yet, have they?

:D

Now there's a cool idea for a thread!

Name soundo's biography.

I promise to obscure all of your names until we are all dead 25 years...:smilielol5:



I think one of my Tups (cost £300 quid) is a homosexual. Now that would be fine with me ideologically speaking, but he has a job to do, and at the moment he is not doing it. There is a Donner Kebab Rotisary with his name on it if he doesnt shape up!

He may just be blind...think of all the movie star blokes who suddenly found women and sired children at 50. I could have swore Anthony Perkins was gay...little Roddy MacDowell too, though they claim he wasn't little where it counted.


haha!

Have you tried visual stimulation such as magazines, videos, etc.,?

.

Maybe he's nervous, maybe dim the lights and soft music....ah:yikes: bad idea, baah, baah,


Can you dress the girls up as boys?

:smilielol5:

Gay sheep have rights too!

What does a sheep wear when he's doing drag?

Yes, where is our Daffyd?
I am getting awfully tired of these summer days in Florida; we had a few false starts...everyone has colds, the cold medicine is all out of the stores and I still am using my a/c; putting up the christmas tree though:santasmil

Pink.

[prendrelemick]

Actually, Athiest is right. Tup vendors often give their Tups a colour-wash and pink is not unusual. I bought a pink one this year (£330) and he is working ok. The problem is I think Gay Tup fancies him.

Are you chaps familiar with gurning? Our male best met the Queen recently. Check out this link, and then the video after. I don't care what you say about Her Majesty - she'll give anything a go.

Just to be fair, I've included the female 27 time winner.

I think the best of British culture should be shared with our less fortunate inernational friends.

That face on the queen was priceless:smilielol5: I noticed that little advert off to the side...the young lady who is marrying william...she looked really good until the royal fashion designer got ahold of her...what are they doing, putting her in left over curtains?


(10 laughing smilies)

Thanks for that Paulclem.
Very funny!!
and no, I've never heard of "gurning" until now.

We need to add that to our Thanksgiving festivities...


Pink.

REally, what do you pay for a white tup and what is the advantage of a pink one? I wonder if the other fellows corner him since hes had that wash:yikes:

Wow, I can giggle and I have more moves; but she is certainly seductive!

Classic!

From 1961! I always thought sex wasn't discovered until at least '62-3.

Just look at the Queen - she's been wearing the same old stuff for fifty years now. I suppose she is a bit out of time with no awareness of fashion. That's why Diana caused such a stir - she knew what to wear at the time - whilst the rest of them followed their mum's lead.

I just know it's going to be on the news and telly for ever now that they've got engaged. The couple seem nice, but there's a whole edifice behind them, not to mention Charlie.

[gbrekken]

well wow. Royal getting married whilst Rolls Royce recovers from a big hit. At least if you believe Dustin Hoffman (Rainman)'s statement that Qantas has never had a crash. At the same time the rain falls on the just and unjust (even queer sheep) and some think there's a conspiracy afoot/about/around.

I dunno - there's something about young Wills. (Written as a strong anti-monarch)

Young Harry seems to be more in the Randy Andy mode anyway, but William somehow gives me the impression of an extremely well-rounded youngish bloke, totally at odds with his upbringing.

He's the last hope of the Royle Family. Given the longevity of the Royle women and her exemplary outdoors lifestyle, Lizzie will almost certainly hit a ton, and could quite conceivably live a decade beyond that. There have to be some perks to being the most-cossetted family in the entire planet. Let's say she gets to 104.

Given that the flappy-eared mutant known as Prince Charles will be 82 in 2030, and even Wills will be 48, I can't see Charlie ever deciding to pick up the red rug. Although, he such a dick, he might well do, just to get his name in the list.

Wills giving his mum's engagement ring away said an awful lot to me.

If the old sheila were really serious about preserving respect for the monarchy, the smart move would be for her to just tell Charlie she's cutting him out and passing the crown on to WIlls on his 30th birthday.

That, announced at his wedding, would give the monarchy a popularity they haven't had since the first King Charles...

...was beheaded.

Fascinating experiment, the Royle family.

Pretty good summary!

:D

[Paulclem]

I have to agree with you about Wills. He seems the best of an odd bunch. Diana - though not of their clan - was also ok and much more normal. Perhaps he'll have to wait until he's king before he can change things. What a horrible job though. Cosseted yes. free - no.
