Aye dafydd, this is all part of the celtic fringe defence, devised by Robert The Bruce to ward off you know who. Unfortunately good ideas sometimes have tragic results. I firmly believe that had the plan worked Engerland would have never won in 66.Originally Posted by dafydd manton
Good one, prendrelemick...I'd love to stay at any of the hiltons; but my budget is somewhere between motel 6 and under the overpass
I wonder what she'll tell her kids about mothers indiscretions, "Mom, tommy has a video tape of yo....wow, what's that"
Does the Mrs. help with the work? Are courgettes the same as zucchini?It's slackened off since I've had to go back to work, but we get down there usually at the weekend. We've been harvesting the sweetcorn, beans, carrots and courgettes. The winter greens - broccoli, sprouts and cabbage are in. We've put in lots of onions, but the seed hasn't shown yet. We've also put in onion sets.
I just need to get digging over the beds again for winter.
I was kind of looking for a lad with your Shakespearean prowess, Pauls easy going manner and work ethic and Atheist cooking skills and butler...oh, and about half my age...any ideas, Jocky?I recommend Brian Bean, urbane, sophisticated, architecturally upright, well read and a good speeler. Failing that the choice in our thread is varied and uncomplicated. Time to go :
THat's why I keep coming back!
Sorry, Soundo, lets me out. I know nothing about Shakespeare forsooth, I hate work (the curse of the drinking classes) my butler is a drunk and as for the half your age.....sorry, Darlin', not only over the hiil, but almost at the bottom of the other side. 'Scuse me, I'm off for my medication, now. Anybody seen my stick? Does dim moddion yn erbyn twpdra!

Ain't that going to be an interesting dynamic for human interaction of the future. No kid of our age ever had to be confronted by videos of mom doing it all over the world, or see and read decades-old information at the click of a button.
We're nowadays carrying our past around with us.
I wonder if it will turn out well?

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."

You can imagine the kids asking questions. "Mum, why is your autobiograhy called 'Memoirs of a Mattress'?"

Thanks for the recommendation Jocky but I didn't quite recognise myself in the description and I'm sure she is looking for someone considerably younger,I recommend Brian Bean, urbane, sophisticated, architecturally upright, well read and a good speeler. Failing that the choice in our thread is varied and uncomplicated. Time to go :
a sort of cross between Bertie Wooster and Mr Rochester.
In any case, one has to be careful with American women, especially as we don't really know what lies behind the avatars. It may well be that they look like Marylin Monroe but, on the other hand, they could turn out to be like Lizzie Borden.

Yes but you'd be daft looking at her legs when you should be watching for the axe.

Ah - yes, hadn't thought of that! Could be a clever ploy, a ruse, a trap. I shall have to have a re-think. Not sure Soundo would be any good with an axe. She seems more like a stiletto girl, somehow! (Knife, not heels!)

We might be doing her a disservice. Despite the repartee, she could well be a sort of Pollyanna/Doris Day type without an evil thought in her head.

Aye, you could be right!!!! However, since she knows where I am, I'm keepin' me gob shut!

Mrs Clem does indeed help with the plot.In fact she was the driving force behind getting it in the first place. She's the real gardener, who has always kept the house garden looking really nice. I'm like the hired help - strong in arm and weak in head. I'm still learning.
Yes, courgettes are zucchini. We've had a good crop this year - particularly round ones which look a bit like melons. The kids won't eat them, so my wife has taken to making them into tomato type sauces and serving them that way. We're going on Sunday. It's turned a bit cool here so I may need a nip of rum in my tea between digging. Ho ho
An interesting thought. We're probably lucky that we have left no digital trail due to our age. I think the kids today have to think in another digital plane when conducting thei lives. It could be messy.
What happened to the Cold Ale discussions? I've just come down from a truly long week teaching and now I am fully armed. I just finished a great taco salad made by the wife accompanied with a Foster's "oil can". Now I've got two Samuel Smith Imperial Stouts and two 5ths of Three Philosophers:
I'm playing some K.D. Lang right now for the wife... but this is to be followed with Dylan and the Stones. A few hours from now I should be feeling no pain... although tomorrow morning may be another matter altogether (yet again... I've never really gotten a hangover from good beer).
Satan is real indeed... he stalks in the night in the guise of the Three Philosophers: Larry, Curly, and Moe
Yee HaW!!!

By the way, I polished off the limburger and tossed the wrapper the trash as I headed out to work. When I got back to the hotel, I noticed my door was sealed off with plastic and yellow caution tape.
Hmmm…I wonder how I can bury the fumigation fees in my expense report.

I see you cracked open the 2007. I suppose that means another year for the 2008 and two for the 2010?
Take it easy on that stuff or you may find yourself lost in Juarez where the hungry women will make a mess out of you!
