    No, never heard it before. We never really listened to any US music.

    Apart from Meatloaf.

    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

    I knew a guy who never cut his toenails unless he was going on a first date.

    That is a concession too far, " this was some time known as a paradox " as our female counterparts would never dream of cutting their toenails on any date. I'm a toe-man deh deh deh deh, deh deh deh deh.

    [QUOTE=soundofmusic;1034446]I don't know whether it is just bad luck; but I haven't ever met a man who was easily separated from his wallet. I find the only way is too ply them with liquor, put them to bed, promise them a night of wild antics, then make off with their trunks when they are snoring away the next morning, though usually, the belt buckle clinking gives you away....

    No, no. Before it. In the bathroom. While rehearsing his lines.

    Parker, will you do a round for the gentlemen, please. And whatever ladies may have, how to put it, strayed in. On my tab. Hey, don't give me that look. I've owed you more in the past and I did pay it back, didn't I? Start pouring. Chop-chop.

    Why that is very kind of you Doc, I don't mind if I do, make mine a double Glenmorangie on the rocks. Aaah! that was good. Er, are you sure you have cleared this with Parker ? I have heard from a very reliable source that the last fellow who tried to rip him off was found bound and decapitated on the outskirts of Aukland. Cheers

    The weather has been very strange in Jockland of late, the sun has actually been shining. I have been able to relax in the recliner in the back garden , with a cold beer, watching Mrs Jocky mowing the lawn. She is very good at it and I always encourage her by shouting the immortal phrase, Darling, you've missed a bit. Ouch! what was that for ?

    That sounds too personal to be a "my friend" story!

    I'm having the same, good choice. I hope Doc knows how much this all costs!

    That is nothing but malicious rumour! The fact his will had just been changed to the benefit of The Blokes' Club was entirely coincidental.

    Sun in Scotland?

    It's giving you respite before the Gulf Stream dies off and Scotland reverts to glaciation.

    Mrs Jocky will cope - she can pull the wood on a sled.

    Yea, what is up with that? Someone must tell Ray Bradbury, he'd be chuffed to bits.

    The broad beans haven't done well - put in too late with all the hot wearther we've been having here. The driest for 100 years or so.

    The potatoes, on the other hand are doing great.

    I've still got quite a bit to dig in the new half, but I've got lettuce, kale, beetroot and cabbage in there now.

    It is looking very untidy, as the grass has grown quite big, but I'll be strimming it this weekend hopefully.

    My wife's brought on the aubergines and courgettes. We've also got cabbage and lettuce to go in, so we've got lots nstead. Pity about the broad beans. They're great young and tender in a salad.
