Helpfull suggestions would be welcome. :)

Thank goodness ! I was wondering where my wallet had got to.

Hmm…You know Jocky, donations are graciously accepted at TBRC. I wonder what the conversion rate is?

You mean I have found Bigfoot's wallet ! This could lead to a spot on the Larry King show. Wait till I tell Mrs Jocky. :)

You will recieve the wallet minus cash in the next post, C.O.D. naturally. Old Atheist has got you pegged. :)

That's right he was the one that blessed my brand spanking new £5000 shed, or was it Crocus ? This plethora of Gods can lead to a great deal of confusion, not unusual for this thread, :)

That's the ones - started Marx and Spencer, but they threw Harpo Spencer out because he wasn't very funny. Zippo went on to invent the cigarette lighter.

I worked in a department store years ago and everytime there was a makeup show, the girls would grab me. They would show the ladies, "Look at how drab this woman looks and with just a bit of our makeup....
The ladies would buy the whole set up; but the secret was good bones.

Ah yes, that is what makes blokes pleasant to be with...of course, I haven't quite figured out how to get more details when I'm dating one:idea:

I've found with I and my house, as we get older, it's going to take a good deal of sanding and resurfacing to make us marketable:lol:

Well, if I found a stashed wallet without ID, I would have to assume that it belonged to a thief or someone trading the money for an identity...I think, that since Mrs Jocky has some reservations about spending it; you should keep the whole bundle, except, of course, for what little bits you would like to donate to your friends on the blokes thread;)

Maybe you'll have better luck with those officers than I did; they let me pass in my leather teddy and a bag of Columbian gold...I guess it was the cellulite that put them off the scent:lol:

That was a smart move by Jerry, I'll bet he'll catch big foot using those school children as kibble:drool5:

Harpo Spencer, is that the bloke who got mugged in Govan by a man and a dog of his croc skin wallet and went on to write The fairy Quean before entering the New Zealand customs service?:rolleyes5:

Crikey, we'll be on to Lord Lucan next!

On the subject of Gods, there are three Eastern deities who have been most influential in my life, you may have heard of them, Guid Luk, Tuff Luk and Nae Luk. Of late the latter has been in the ascendancy. Atheist, Lord Lucan is alive and well and living in the Isle of Skye disguised as a Benedictine monk. :)

Not so! Lies! Foul Calumny! Lord Lucan is alive and well, wearing a ginger wig and working in a chip shop in Rochdale - you know the one, it's managed by Elvis. They do a very nice saveloy.
