    Is this literal or metaphorical?

    For the 10001st time Scheherarzade this is a man only thread. Can you not allow us to speak rubbish in our own inimitable fashion? If you dont stop this I am going to tell Athiest and then you will be in big trouble. '' Augustus ruled the world, but Livia ruled Augustus '' How depressing was that?

    Mmm we need something similar round this club, something to divert those pesky birds. Perhaps built out of valances, cushions, soft furnishings. and shoes.

    No, we'll just get someone to open a shop next door and they'll never bother.
    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."

    Someone should start an 'All men are b******s' thread. That would keep them occupied for a while.

    But they know that anyway.

    Plus, I'd object; I'm not a B*, I'm an arrogant B*.

    Hello blokes, men, roughnecks, and gents --

    I've a few images to share with you. As I briefly posted earlier, I was building a post/beam fence to edge my yard from the woods which it boarders. I've completed the project and wanted to share the results with you here.

    Here's the fence -- made with treated landscape timbers and secured with galvanized bolts:



    I took great pride in my work -- Nice and level:



    My tools, the cordless drill is featured:



    Afterward, the chief builder and architect was treated to some fitting rewards:



    Cheers!
