    On this particular day, I noticed that while the carpet looked magnificent; both the inner and outer doors were still laying in a pile. I insisted the fellow needed to rehang the doors and Mr Sounds said, "Oh, it's nothing, I can do it; just got to shave a little off the bottoms".
    I reminded Mr Sounds that, in Florida, inside doors were hollow. Mr Sounds looked alittle taken a back but still insisted we pay the fellow and give him a tip. We slept, that night, with a board nailed over the front door and the following day, it took Mr Sounds all day to refit and rehang the front door.

    It has been 25 years, and there are still no closet doors hanging
    haha, sometimes you should just leave that up to professionals instead of insisting you do it yourself, it can go terribly wrong.

    Now this is a beautiful redhead.

    Nah... I only slept 'til noon. Not bad for going to bed after 2:00 and as out of it as I was. I never get a hang over from good beer. I was a professional at this for longer than I'll admit. Wine on the other hand........ugh! Sulphites! You're sure to be worshiping the porcelain god!

    I'm ready for my steak and eggs!

    Whoa! I just noticed a slight spike on the Blokes thread intellectual meter. Must be the combination of StLukes presence and your quoting Dryden.
    Ahhh, too bad...looks like I pegged it back to "0".

    In the meantime, StLukes,I will enjoy a Spaten "Optimator" and deal with the Opossum's in the creek:

    I just took that photo about an hour ago. The old fella had our dogs in a fit of agitation.
    He is clamping down on a stick that I was attempting to use to carry him further away.

    You're too late, Gilliatt, I already brought the intellectual meter down by thinking Jocky wrote Dryden...
    I'm afraid I'd rather look out my window at possums and racoons (my cats love the racoons...fascinated that they can eat with their hands) than raise my IQ


    Hey stlukesguild, if you turn off Mick and turn on the a/c; I'll stay for the steak and a profound discussion of the antics of the stooges

    I'm not sure how I prefer things. In the old days, a woman had to convince her husband to take a break and call the professionals (part with that cash he was saving for a new fishing rod) or suffer in silence as he jerry rigged the fridge and it started walking through the house
    Of course, alot of blokes have found, nowadays, that it's much easier to leave the wife home with the plumber, let her pay 80 dollars to change that tiny washer in the dripping faucet; and head off to the creek with the old fishing rod

    It would really be a dilema whether to stare at her cleavage or eyes....I guess the eyes are always there

    Wine hangovers prove that wine is actually an invention of Satan.

    On the other hand, in years past, I've been able to put away a full bottle of scotch during the night and wake like a baby.

    Like a baby in the way that my brain isn't capable of working, but feeling great!

    Steak & eggs? Make mine a double.

    Yes, I note that very, very few redheads have natural colour these days. The other thing is, most redheads are covered in freckles - unless their parents kept them 100% out of the sun as kids - so either Photoshop or heavy makeup is necessary.

    That's perfectly ok.

    You must get on famously with Parker - he's as catty as a tomcat party outside the cattery for single purebred females.

    Hey, I see we've lost our Saffer mate - the Dizzy Doll. She asked for her account to be deleted, which isn't possible on vBulletin, so she's been listed as banned.

    I always wonder why people do that. I've "left" lots of forums, but never found the need to stop my account or anything - I just don't go back to them.

    Ooh! Great beer! I haven't had one in a while. I still remember my first. An artist friend bought one for me the day before I moved back from NYC.

    Wine hangovers prove that wine is actually an invention of Satan.

    On the other hand, in years past, I've been able to put away a full bottle of scotch during the night and wake like a baby.

    Like a baby in the way that my brain isn't capable of working, but feeling great!


    Oh yes. I remember one morning after having put away a good portion of a 5th of Jack Daniels. As I staggered to the john, the wife mockingly intoned, "You deserve whatever hangover you've got after last night," to which I replied, "What hang-over? I'm still drunk."

    I've learned to stick with one type of drink (beers or clears...), avoid excesses in wine, and drink a healthy amount of water before finally hitting the sack.

    Well thank you, I've got my cattiness out for another year...Parker cured it by dosing me heavily with champagne and promising to end the night at a ladies only tupperware party...I hear there may be a dancing policeman and cake...I love cake

    Yes, I do miss dear Dizzy and her wild pms...she definitely had my curiosity peaked with the American writing accent, the Vegas attitude and all the paranormal stuff...I've never quite met anyone like her...maybe I and Parker will run into her at the tupperware party

    Now, we should all take our hats off and drink to Scher for her long suffering and lady like conduct while she was being publicly accused and abused by the doll: cheers2:

    Anyway, I think the idea was that Diz wanted to come back as someone else and give things a new start and I'd love to see her; unfortunately, we can't really leave ourselves behind no matter how many aliases we create

    I can't help noticing that as well as red hair, obvious and on display breasts are a feature of your ideal women. Are we chaps really so shallow?

    I'm still reeling from Sounds suggeson that I become a Love Doctor. Question: can love doctors self medicate?

    Anyway it seems as if it's all been happening since Parker and I went on the town. Redeads and hangovers abound. I agree about the wine. The last time I got leathered on it I ended up with my head down my outside drain. It was a long time ago I hasten to add. I'm now a pillar of the community - pillock of the community my wife says...

    Luckily my father is an expert in fixing things, so I just call him if there is anything I can't figure out myself. If he then can't figure it out, I just pay for it.

    That is a dilemma I find myself in quite alot who can argue the beauty of Simone Simons?

    Well yes, Rock chicks with large breasts are a huge turn on for me but in a long term relationship, I find other qualities attractive, even though most of my past girlfriends has been rock chicks... with large breasts.
