    I think she was joking...although she is definately not on the large side, so she might have been getting her own back for my references to her height. (4ft 11)

    Yes - female anatomy. I think it's considered the worst word by the UK media.
    Yes, that is what I thought she may be getting at.

    How is Fanny used in the UK and Montreal, we mean the gluteus here. Like, "I fell on my fanny". I suppose in deference to those named fanny; we stopped using it to mean a**

    That part of the female anatomy mentioned above, you probably wouldn't want to fall on it.

    So the decorating has been delayed by a week as my better half is ill and can't go to choose the wallpaper - no, no I won't be choosing it. I could start the pinting as she's decided on the colour. Don't you dislike it when a job is hanging over you and spoiling your surfing?

    Meanwhile I did sort out the porch - lick of paint. It is rather diddy though. Ah the holidays - when you can catch up on all those jobs...

    I should hope not!

    First off, making disgraceful statements about the state of women, now discussing wallpaper colours.

    When I add that to the threads on flat, FIXED earths and 5000 year old dinosaur fossils, I begin to wonder if the entitre world's gone barking mad!

    Parker! A double gin, for my nerves if you will....

    By the way, you had me in tears with your fixed flat earth responses of late.
    Hey maybe I'm on to something... a fixed flat earth...That's it!;

    A FLAT EARTH THAT IS FIXED IN SPACE!!
    That's the answer we have been looking for!

    My God, think of the possibilities?

    Pinting? is that an innocent typing error, or a Fraudian slip. You'd rather be enjoying a pint than painting the front room.

    You're right - a "fraudian" slip. We got the wallpaper today. Harassment will follow. Alright - out with the cans and away into the allotment.

    I'd take a picture of Auckland at the moment and post it, but all you need to do to replicate the effect is get a blue screen with a large yellow dot in the middle.

    Not a cloud over the entire country today.

    Paradise, I tell ya, this place is!
