Aaargh!

You've just described West Auckland.

Even their MP drives around in a leopard-print Toyota.

Nylon leopard print curtains, for that electric shock first thing in the morning!

Tack, tat and useless plastic rubbish. it's the foundations of the Western and Eastern economy. Where would Christmas be without it I ask?

Why, it might even become a pagan festival, with little bearing on Christianity!

It's funny how people never quite understand that a consumer society must, at some stage end, up in the past tense.

Consumed.

I like that!

Nylon, indeed!! Have they never heard of venetian blinds, or those heavy, maroon brocade ones you can get cheap if you can get to an Indian restaurant that's being refurbished. Admittedly, the house smells a bit strange for a few months, but think of the beer tokens you've saved!!

I heard that Harpo was a fairy queen and traded his croc wallet for the dog:smilewinkgrin:

She really needs to close her blinds at night, you never know who could be watching.... I digress, what was I on about, oh yes, Mrs Jocky paid a visit to my newly converted attic and after 5 minutes of silent observation remarked, " In the magnificence and wonderment of our Universe Mars looks comparitively tiny and insignificant. " I thought that was so profound I did not have the heart to tell her she was looking through the wrong end of the telescope. :)

I don't know, Jocky, maybe Mrs J was also looing at Heathers red roses instead of the "red planet":cool:

Tower crane drivers are aware of this.

:blush2: I guess the semi-truck drivers did see what we were doing on the freeways in our younger and more athletic days:rolleyes:

Jocky,
Now swing that scope toward the constellation Andromeda but don’t “strain” your eyes.
Good, now look North by Northwest and here we see Cassiopeein in the Big Dipper.
Now follow the arc to Arcturus where we find him shakin his Bootes.
But Sirius ly, you must not trifle with Mrs. Jocky or you’ll be spending the night in the Canis Major house.
Or worse still, she’ll accuse you of being a Lyra and force you to sleep in the Vega.
What’s this sticky mess on the eyepiece? Have you been eating Milky Way bars again?
Never mind about that let us turn our eyes to the south and behold the greatest *** tronomical spectacle of all time; Klingons around Uranus.

Haha! You remind me of a great story.

One of my former lovers - a blonde stunner, funnily enough - was a complete exhibitionist who used to drive an automatic car with her left leg resting on the centre console to see how many truck drivers just about lost control. (right hand drive)

Baaaad girl.

But lots of fun!

She also used to come into my office and make like Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct. My secretary - an older, but fun bird - used to come and tell me that "that sexy-lookin' one had arrived".

:D

That's the down-side of working at home. All I get is the missus bringing in a coffee now and again, which I appreciate, or else the cat comes in looking for food, passes wind and leaves again, which I do not appreciate.

One advantage to working from home - you know you can chase the secretary around without fear of reprisal!

Ha! Rumbled! Mind you, these days, I'd probably need an osteopath!

Funny enough Mr Macpherson came to my door in a very threatening posture, unfortunately for him the military training kicked in. He is now in wards 2, 3, 7, and 10 of the local hospital. He "may me gone for some time". :)

A brand new anorak is in the post. As to Klingons around Uranus, you really need to look after your personal hygeine. ;)

:lol:
One peeping Tom in the household is quite sufficient thank you very much. :)

Any post that can contain Klingons, Uranus, Peeping Toms and Anoraks in one go deserves the Nobel Prize for Literature - twice!

This is the thread Dafydd - aliens and ale, women and the world cup, beer and banking, google and whatnot. It is the home of the wise and experienced - though not at the same time.

That lets me out, mate. Experienced, without a doubt, but wise? I don't think so!
