I hope you are on about the Lions tour as in the Rugby....

I think she's talking about the Detroit Lions in American football.

They've looked good and only lost the first test by a few, so they've done better than I expected.

Try to get in position for the next test - this Saturday, should be a cracker.

Virgil - Detroit Lions? Where are they touring?

Hello Gentlemen,

I've recently felled two trees and am now in the process of cleaning up the brush and logs. Soon, I'll split the wood with maul (not a motorized splitter) and create, with luck and some effort, a dandy wood pile.

Oh, the two trees: (1) Red oak and (1) quaking aspen, referred to as "poplar" in some areas.

I'll be taking photos to document my efforts.

I hope you were properly equipped. Red checked brushed cotten shirt, (open to the belly button,) blue jeans with braces, steel toecapped rigger boots, Mountie hat, red spotted kerchief round neck. (Tool belt optional). Hickory shafted felling axe.

Ha! I only wish I had all the cool stuff. Unfortunately, my raiment consisted of an old tee-shirt, shorts, gym socks, old running shoes, and a baseball cap.

And while, I do hope to be able to fell trees with a lovely "hickory shafted felling axe" (double-bladed), my tool this time was modern: a simple chainsaw.

Sorry I have not been online lately guys, you will not believe this, but I have been through a very traumatic time. My daughter just introduced me to her new boyfriend, ' This is Craig dad, he's a policeman. ' I looked at him and he looked at me, you know the look, it turned my flesh icy cold. I was going to offer him a nip from my prized bottle of Glen Morangie but gave him a warm lager instead. Athiest, Comedian, Prendrelmick, this is serious and I need good advice, or my days of freedom are numbered.

I'd run for the hills while you still can!

[prendrelemick]

Plead insanity!

Could be worse though, she could have brought home an Englishman.

Athiest I cant, I am still barred from any piece of land over ten metres high. Does Canada have an extradition treaty with Scotland?

Plead insanity!

Unfortunately Prendrelmick, that is not a defence in Scottish law. It has long been recognized by the Scottish legal profession, de facto, that all Scots are insane!
Comedian, my liberty is in your hands now, I await your words of wisdom.

Comedian, my liberty is in your hands now, I await your words of wisdom.

jockey -- you need to get this guy fall-down drunk so as to induce memory loss. Then, upon his waking, tell him an elaborate story in which he commits copious shameful acts, then promise him that you "won't tell." This, according to my theory, would make this fellow tremendously embarrassed and highly indebted to you and your "integrity."

After this, you will have both him and the situation comfortably in the bag!

[jocky]

Comedian that is the sage advice I was longing for. Luckily, I do not need to put your plan into effect. It seems the officer in question has met a premature end. Apparently he fell down a manhole in the dark, while carrying out his constabulary duties. There is some talk that a shadowy figure was earlier spotted fleeing the scene with a manhole cover tucked under his arm, but this is all speculation. My daughter is inconsolable and, for some reason , beyond my comprehension, she is not speaking to me. Your delightfully devious plan, however, will come in very handy in the future.
