Very cool new avatar. We had some orcas in Auckland harbour a few weeks back, which just happened to coincide with the kids having a day off school.

I took a guess at where they would end up while we drove 30 minutes to the water and stopped at a beachfront in an estuary.

Right on cue, about 2 minutes after we arrvied, six of the came into the water right in front of us. They were hunting stingrays and came to within 100 feet of the beach.

Outstanding.

Mate, I'll drink to your sadness.

Your honesty is touching. It must be hell when Scotland plays England at something, you're heartbroken whoever loses.

61/2 chasing 233. Very much in the balance.

Just think of that little jug with the ash in it and you'll be fine for the next 10-15 years.

Gilliatt, a piece of sage advice from old Jocky. Read the forum rules, fowl language is not tolerated in this thread. ;)

Would you believe it you won? I had plans for you this week and they are now in tatters. Atheist if you fell in a bucket of crap you would come out smelling of roses. If you win this tournament there must be hope for Scotland yet.

Silence is golden. :lol:

Guys, did I ever tell you about the time I was nearly awarded the Victoria Cross ? I accidentaly shot the company cook. The whole company signed a petition demanding I should be awarded the highest accolade the army could award, even the cook signed it when he eventually recovered from his horrendous injury. There was much deliberation amongst the top brass but sadly it was not to be. What swung it against me was the cook's wife's complaint that I had shot him in the groin and her life was ruined. Gentlemen, there is a fine dividing line between success and failure in this world. Still Jocky V.C. has a nice ring to it.

Amazingly, we have won this tournament a few years back.

Only thing we ever did win, although I'm told we had a tiddlywinks champ some time ago. I think we did rather well at Scrabble as well.

Tiddlywinks and Scrabble should never be underestimated, they are indications of a resolute national identity. Where would the British Empire be without these characteristics ? I digress, you are still not off the hook yet, only victory against the Aussies will redeem you. As to your Orca tale, you might fool Schezherhadze but Jocky is not convinced. I could ask for witness testimony and photographic evidence, but I will not push the issue. Have you heard from farmer Prendrelemick lately? Maybe he saw ' something nasty in the woodshed ' :lol:

I did, No wood! Not even cold comfort there.

In the meantime, a traditional Anglo Saxon message of encouragement to our antipodean brothers:-

KERRRMONNNN YOUUU KEEEEWEEEES!

I was thinking about you earlier.

In the "why celibacy is good" thread.

I think you provide proof of the proposition.

It may be too late for jocky, but it would seem that the cook is now celibate. Not sure which is more humiliating; having them shot off or cremated and toted around in a terra cotta ash urn?

No wood? No worries! - Don’t forget about that fine substitute we’ve discussed and if the old lady dosn't like it; send her to the woodshed.

Mmm, brains or sex. I choose fornication.

Atheist I know you feel like you have been kicked very hard in the goolies at this moment in time, but life has its little consolations. If there had been a trophy for the ugliest looking team in the tournament New Zealand would have won it hands down. I thought I would just cheer you up. Boomerangs cant reach Scotland can they? :)

Is it any wonder that Kiwi women go to UK and come back with British husbands?

Did your old man fly one of these things? Hats off to him if he did as they were considered to be aeronautical deathtraps. Lets raise our glasses to fathers, where would we be without them? :)
