The Old Bull

Termites for sure,they only fly for an hour or so then their wings fall off and they run away to find some wood to chew on. I parked my pickup under an outside light when I went to use it I noticed a few termites running round and a pile of wings. If you have any in the house shut off the light and open an outside one. They will immediately fly out to the outside light.

Now we need the reporeters stay on the story see how it ends.

I missed the national service by one year. From what from what they told me it was not a positive experience just a combination of drudgery and drunkenness.

It's getting more difficult for old men to con young men into fighting their wars. That's why the recruiting numbers are down. He should take lessons from the yanks, they are good at it. He should be talking about freedom and liberty and handing out lots of medals.

When I was a young fellow in the UK there was a mercenary used to drink in the local pub. He was quiet always wore a suit and tie only drank scotch and had one of those moustaches with pointy ends. he was a friendly guy but used to sit at the end of the bar by himself. He would disappear for a couple of months at a time and return with a sun tan. He never talked about his job most people never knew he was a mercenary.

Thailand will sit on the fence till there is a clear winner. They were too quick to back the nippers in WWII, cost them two provinces.

He should have taken lessons from Joe Ferrari.

I don't think the protesters support Hamas as they have proven themselves to be a nasty lot murdering 1500 Jews. The problem is with the Israeli response killing over 30,000 Palestinians mostly women and children.

Being young and stupid wanting to show off to the girls I lifted up the end of a pool table so the balls would roll to the other end. Next morning my shoulder was locked stiff and painful so I went to the doctor. He figured he could fix it with acupuncture but I howled when he stuck the first needle in. He said that is not supposed to happen so he stopped and gave me a sleeping pill . Told me to go straight home as I would be asleep in half an hour. I slept from Monday lunchtime to Wednesday sometime. Passed out in the bathroom or so I was told and got packed back to bed. When I woke up the pain was gone but it was a couple of days before I could lift my arm above my head. Not one of my most pleasant experiences.
