    Her arms were a bit tired at the end of it, but a superb catch, eaten for dinner in a kahawai and spinach quiche!
    A lifetime memory. I would say the arm has healed quite well if she was able to bring that one in.

    I dreamt about Kate Middleton last night in what was probably a treasonable way. Mrs P says it's not my head that needs chopping off! These menages a trois are so difficult at times.

    It's gone a little quiet around here - that bloody jocky, slopes back after months with the French Foreign legion, scares off our new members, then slopes back off again.

    A worthy dream. I just had a vino vision of Claudette Colbert. Gibbon's had it all wrong, I tell you it was Claudette that brought down the Empire! (see below)

    Gilliat, I don't know how you find these clips. Ms. Colbert certainly had it in spades - before "it" had been invented.

    Meanwhile, the imaginary afair with the Dutchess Of Cambridge is not going well. My dreams have returned to the usual- walking down the Highstreet without any trousers on- sort of thing.

    That clip had a lot of passing Yorkshiremen in it - you could hear them all passing going, "ey up, ey up". I always suspected that we had an integral part in the Empire and Hollywood.

    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+
    Wow, she's incredible, and still looks like she's been locked away in a castle, with never a broken fingernail.

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.
    Fallout bunker, no kidding, when was it built? I don't know, maybe you should keep it, if WWIII doesn't happen, we can always hide away our retirement cash.

    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.
    Ooh, I certainly wouldn't want to be pulling glass from my ar** and wondering how I got it the next morning.
    I'm trying to decide what the best size for a baking potato is. I bought some wonderful ones from Costco, about half a foot, they barely had any flavor and were tough as the dickens...took about 3 hours to bake.

    Ah, the princess. I think you should tell Mrs P that you were dreaming about Kate and it was just terrible, she wasn't air brushed in the dream and all of her old acne scars and white heads were showing; so you looked down the isle and a beautiful creature came walking toward you and when you woke up...there she was.

    Girl action?!

    Parker, another one of what the lady's having, when you get a chance.
    Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine...

    Yeah, I think I'm going to need a double tonight gents and a little girl action would be a welcome relief. My daughter checked out Mel Gibsons "The Passion" tonight for our movie night...I didn't get past the part where they hang him over a cliff.....

    So, if Claudette Colbert will lose some of that makeup when she goes down in that milk again, I think I could get into this stuff...

    Crikey. I've just calculated I've smoked 209,875 cigarettes in my life.

    I'm completely bewildered by that video. I like the tune too, though I've never heard it before.

    Keep the wierd vids coming Gilliatt.

    Nice picture of your boy. It's a great thing to be able to make music.

    By the way, the "Serious Discussions" thread is becoming a little serious. I see you chaps are keeping out of it. I had a little tinker, but it's a bit pointless I realise. I'd not dipped into the Mozart thread, and so I didn't know what to expect. I'll be joining you chaps in the members only bar later.

    You don't say...I have to get over there! Every time I've been they're discussing the same stuff they were 3 years ago. Speking of profound discussions, where is our Jocky....and why hasn't Mark come back to tell us a joke?

    Enough to make a trail from New York to Beijing.

    Less after they've been smoked.

    Why do I get the impression that those threads pop up in droves around the time the loony-bin has a few day-release passes being handed out?
