Thank you, Gilliatt, I love Justin! I've put him in my recipe file now...I never noticed he had that scar up the side of his head. I'm going to use a few of his recipes, though, I'm going to cut out about a pound of grease out of each...

Haha! Different sort of boat races.

The guys line up sitting cross-legged on the floor, behind each other, just like a rowing eight.

The first one drinks his glass dry, slamming it down when empty, which is the start for #2, and so on.

Great fun when you're about 18.

I learn something new every day on this thread. I should think your boat might get a bit wet inside by the 6th or 7th glass, since I'm not at al confident that the fellows can uncross their legs and take a run by then.

Did you ever do that rowing dance with the Gap Band?

I'm waiting to see you do that dance, Paul

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

I guess he was hoping to get lucky on the first date. I think it must be quite a common habit, I noticed my young men were usually reluctant to take off their socks...they claimed it was cold feet or ugly feet. I often wished they would take off their socks since alot of fellows don't seem to realize that they need to change their socks everytime they change their shorts.

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.

I always did my nails and toenails; but I only shaved my legs if the fellow was special

In our right hand sock under our sgian-dhub.

I think I might need you to draw a diagram...don't think I've seen that part in grays anatomy haha

[QUOTE=prendrelemick;1034791][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....

And they say romance is dead.

Yes, unfortunately a lady has to keep her head about her, check for phone numbers and pictures before you give your heart; men are just far too clever and unlike women, they stick together.

On the first date??!!

See, great minds do think alike.

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.

Ah ha...so you are the reason Parker couldn't take me to Hawaii this weekend; he took me to a hot dog stand and I said, no sir, I am not cutting my toenails for this.

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 ?

I was wondering where my third husband got off too; ah well, good thing I and Parker got him to fill out that million dollar life insurance policy...

I see Mrs J gave your beautiful long locks a bit of a trim while she was mowing too...the Scottish lasses are so clever.

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.

What sort of weather is good for potatos; I thought you needed plenty of water.

Forgive me if I missed an update somewhere along the way, but what about the cottages? Are they still standing? or were you in fact planning to use thenm or at least one?

I could feel my arteries seizing up just watching that episode!! The scar was probably from wrangling an alligator or a Capybara.

[The Atheist]

Have you blokes noticed all the Fahrenheit 451 entries under general Literature?

I don't know where it started, but for years, every summer one class at least will be told by the teacher to come here and discuss some aspect of 1984 or Animal Farm.

Saves the teachers thinking.

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

I had a hunch it may be related to a school assignment.
Hows the weather down NZ way?...oh and how's the playhouse holding up?

I am always surprised when I see the creole ladies down our way boiling down all these nasty animal parts, putting tons of hot sauce in a pot and then, would you believe it, by the end of the day a glorious smell and glaze at the bottom of the pot and meat that falls off the bone.
Oh my god, a Capybara, never heard of such a thing...how frightening, a stone age looking rat..akkk

I have to get over there and check all this out; I must admit, I am quite ashamed of myself, I never even look at literature now that I am on a literature forum.

Oh yes, the playhouse...I am curious. Atheists children look like Angels who dropped out of heaven; but if the son hasn't decided to take his tools to it; Baje is probably using it as a skateboard ramp haha

The weather, for the start of winter, has been amazing. The few bad days we've had have been really bad, but most of the time, it's still more autumnal than winter.

Great to ask, because yesterday was a stunner, so we went to the beach, with this result:



All her own work, on a 6-lb test line, the fish weighing about 4 pounds. It's a kahawai by its local name, but internationally, it'd be called a sea trout, because they fight just like a trout, leaping out of the water and going on huge runs.

Her arms were a bit tired at the end of it, but a superb catch, eaten for dinner in a kahawai and spinach quiche!

The playhouse has been taken down as we're going to move. Just waiting for the right house.

Her skateboarding has a little way to go before she's doing jumps. Ollie is still an unattainable target at the moment.

She can half fish though! You shoulda seen her - reeling in, letting it run; just like an old pro. She got a bigger fish as well, and that's a very small set she's using. A+

Fantastic!

Ivy cottage is being used by the old Guy next to me. He asked me if he could keep his tools there, and that's no problem. THE Shed is way big enough for our needs.

The fallout bunker is still there too. I'll take it down eventually, but I'm still digging patches for whatever's got to go in. I'm behind with the work, but we're getting there. The runner beans my wife has grown are big and healthy. The next job is to fill a raised bed for some rather nice aubergine pants my wife has raised.

I strimmed the plot today with the association's petrol mower. It leaves your hands popping inside with the vibrations. It makes it look neater though.

I'm off work for the week after next, so hopefully I'll be able to catch up then.

[Paulclem]

I'm waiting to see you do that dance, Paul


What sort of weather is good for potatos; I thought you needed plenty of water.

That's a dance I can do - sitting in a row on the floor and swaying back and forth. The only problem in the old days was the spilt beer and broken glass on the dancefloor.

Not too wet I gather. The tubers might rot in the ground. It's been very warm and dry here this spring, but the taties are doing well.

Nice photo.

Can anyone explain the connection between volcanoes in Iceland and Doncaster Borough Council? Google ads seems to have found one.


These are puzzleing times.

The Council spends so much money on Google Adsense that their ads appear on every UK browser when it gets to an Adsense site?

Bit like ads for seek.co.nz, NZ's employment site appearing on LitNet in my browser, even though nothing here is connected to job searches.

[Paulclem]

I've got an ad for fungal nails and Tatton garden show. One makes sense whilst the other...perhaps Google's psychic. Are you taking an unexpected trip to Doncaster Mick? It would be unexpected as no-one would plan to go there.

[prendrelemick]

Nope! nor Iceland. It's not an advert for anything though, just the words "Doncaster Borough Council" and a crest, nothing else.

The only thing I can think of, is that they are one of those authorities who put their (our) money in a high intrest account in a certain Icelandic bank, and lost it all. Google remembers all!

Or perhaps they wanted to advertise, but had nothing to show off in it.
