If you reminded them of an Albino,...would it be 'cos you are white above the forehead, or perhaps no white atall, just a shiny surface?
No offence intended Bob.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
I prefer the Autumn 'cos I sip more Baileys in cooler weather.
I don't like sizzling sweaty hot weather. |

I think we've bypassed Autumn and gone straight into winter because it's blooming freezing here today  I never used to mind any of the seasons, just accepted whatever came along, but the older I get the more I start to dread the thought of winters. maybe it's time I looked for another sort of work, something indoors with cental heating A fish and chip shop would be nice, especially if it included all the scrumps I could eat |

Hi Larry,
Cold are you Larry. Get an inside job mun. What about training to be a chef, that would warm the cockles of your heart, you'd have a piping hot oven to keep you sweating.
I think my hatred of the heat was due to my stretch of time in the Far East, sweating like a pig 24/7, with jungle sores and all the rest. |

Have you listened to my song...Autumn Leaves?
Was Nat King Cole a favoutite in your young days Larry?
Or perhaps it was The Beatles, was it? |

Well, I was shocked to see the front page of The Mail yesterday.
A police chief said,...it's not the responsibility of the police to respond to deal with young hooligans committing hell upon earth in your district. He said, it was the local council who should deal with such matters.
What next, eh! |

There's a film on TV at the moment Larry. I bet you'd remember it.
It's Thunderball...James Bond. 1965. |

Nah I was'nt a huge fan of the Beatles, I was just a kid when they were at their height, but my older sister was daft on them and she played their records so much I got sick and tired of them  Punk was all the rage when I hit my teens I enjoy Nat king Cole nowadays though, I must be getting old, Lol |

Yeah, to my mind Sean Connery was the only James Bond. Some of the others were'nt too bad as substitutes, but this latest one does'nt fit the part at all, he looks a bit of a wimp to me  |

I notice we've got to re-tune the TVs again on Wednesday this week.
By the time all this ruddy tuning finishes we'll be qualified TV engineers. |

Don't know what it's like with you Larry, but this site is not running very well today,...sometimes it takes about a minute and a half to change threads.

Whenever you see a man open a car door for his wife, you can be sure that either the car is new or the wife is.
Policeman: You were exceeding the speed limit, madam.
Lady Driver: I'm sorry constable. I was trying to get home before my petrol ran out.
How long have you been driving?
Not long, just three trees, two lamp-posts and a pedestrian.

When I clicked my Likes and Dislikes thread a few minutes ago, it showed up as Page 1 back in 2007.
Now, how on earth did that happen? I got it back by changing the page No at the bottom left to page 16.
But HOW did it get to Page 1, anyway??? |

Well, I hope you find your crucifix soon, Bob 'cos it's like a desert island on here and there's no sign of a ship on the horizon to come and rescue me.
If I did see a ship I'd take my shirt off and frantically wave it, hoping they'd drop anchor nearby and come and have a little gossip.
I'd even swing a Baileys bottle in the air,...to tempt them.
Ho! Ho! Ho! |

Ooooh! Quiet on here, innit. Not that it's much different from the norm, I Suppose.
'ow're iw doin' Fuss? Well, not too bad like, you know! Had a chat with my doc' on Tuesday, and the 'mechanism in the old factory' is running normal, so that news put me on a high and a broad smile on my fizzog as I walked back to my home.
At my D of B one has blood tests and pressure tests every six months, so it's a bit of a relief when told that the steering, engine, and tyres of the old Austin 7 are in good shape.

Just heard on the news about a female jailed for 4 months for abandoning goodness knows how many dogs - possibly dozens, - and clearing off on a holiday to Tenerife, leaving them without sufficient food and water. Many were found dead when the RSPCA checked after responding to a call from a local number.
I think...Pauline and I would have a different jail term to the one mentioned above.

I do'nt understand how anybody can do something like that to an innocent animal If I was the judge I'd give the evil sods a lot more than 4 measly months, I'd have them bloody horse whipped then lock em up without food and water, give the b******s a taste of their own medicine and see how they like it. Scum like that are'nt fit to live |

I'm with you all the way, Larry. The punishment should have been far more severe for abandoning those 90 defenceless dogs.
That is what's seriously lacking in this country,...the punishment never seems to fit the crime. It's pathetic!

He is to be provided with a house - rent free - so that he can live in it with his girlfriend, and start life afresh.

Did you know....
It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky.
A crocodile can't stick it's tongue out.
A shrimp's heart is in it's head.
Horses can't vomit.
Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different.
The 'sixth sick shiek's sixth sheep's sick' is said to be the toughest tongue twister in the English language.
(And I bet it could be tougher still, after first - removing false teeth.)
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Larry,
I shall not be here tomorrow - that's for certain, am off down west, sorry M8.
Here's a tipple, so hold out your glass,...swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, that's a halfpint of lager so drink up. Hope it brings a smile to your face, Larry.
Been dead quiet on here again this week. Have you had a go at the tongue twister I put on here yesterday? It's a real corker, innit.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Take care M8.
(On second thoughts...it's possible that I may be back before dark tomorrow, but don't bank on it.) |

Well, as I said a while back...I was feeling a bit down recently,...no I haven't had the perishing flu thank goodness, not yet anyway.
I popped in here now and again during the last week or so, but it was dead silent so I wasn't in the mood to talk to myself, so I got on with a lot of odd jobs to fill my time.
I've just heard on Ch5 news that some vile moron had abandoned about 20 puppies in two suitcases, and left them to die.
I can't print what punishment I would dish out to that ghastly individual who committed those defenceless little creatures to such terrible suffering.

Shame on you!.....Wait till I see her. YOU'LL need a ruddy mouthwash after I tell her a few home truths about her son-in-law.

Well I can believe that Bob m8, I've never had a problem with my mother in law (I do'nt see her very often anyway ) but a pal of mine's got a mother in law who makes Gengis Khan look like St Francis of Assisi, so it's not that hard for me to believe what you say about yours.
Sorry I missed being here last week, I had a stinking cold and the missis made me stay indoors out of the 'orrible weather Hope your family are over their attacks of flu crazynance. Nice to see you again, good luck with the book gal |

I've now written over 35,000 words. Some people are over 100,000 and headed for 150,000! O_O
Fortunately, Fussy, it's writing on my laptop, so my fingers aren't completely cramped by the end!
Go on, Bob! Write that novel! Get it out of your system! There's still time! :D Actually, you could spend this year getting signed up, and studying the rules, then next year for November you'll be all set to write! It's kind of a cheat, because you're allowed to have your characters all plotted out and your outline written, settings described.. you're just not allowed to write the actual story except between Nov 1 and Nov 30. [of the same year ^_^ ]
Oh, my dad's playing Pachobel's Canon in D.. *waves arms along with music* bye now!

crazynance,
From the date of your posting, it means you have 5 days to think up your story,....coupled with slamming your keyboard with 15,000 perishing words.
Do you really think you'll have time to fill the kettle?
Pretty obvious....you're up to the challenge, and determined to show the Canadians that you ARE a true Brit.

Hi crazynance, lovely to hear from you again.
In my younger days I was always planning to write books, I used to start them, but I never managed to finish one. I think the first one I ever started on was when I was around five years old. I can still remember parts of it, it was called 'The Flight of the Seven Little Swans' and it was about a family of Ballet Dancers (the 'Swan' connection being Swan Lake) who were planning to flee from Russia to the west. Why in the name of God a child of five should decide to write a book on such a strange subject I honestly don't know, but as I'm sure anyone who knew me back then would tell you, I was always a weird sort of child
Anyway, as I said,it was never finished, but I kept it and all my other bits and pieces of writing in the attic in Aberdare for years. It's all gone now though, it disappeared along with everything else when the house was burgled back in the 90's. Whoever nicked the stuff probably chucked it out, but maybe they didn't, so if I ever come across a book based on one of my ideas I'll know who to sue won't I
I don't think I could write a book nowadays to save my life though, my concentration is completely shot to pieces. I can't even write an address on an envelope without having to pause and think about it, LOL I think it's senility setting in |
