That's a different route, indeed, no bushes around.

No doubt, a trimmed bush is a pleasure to the eye, while travelling up fanny avenue.

Figure of Speech. How many can you find. I'll start off with "hit the nail on the head"

WALKING ON THE GRASS The room was full of pregnant women with their husbands. The instructor said, "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier. Just pace yourself, make plenty of stops and try to stay on a soft surface like grass or a path." "Gentlemen, remember -you're in this together. It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with her. In fact, that shared experience would be good for you both." The room suddenly became very quiet as the men absorbed the information. After a few moments a man, name unknown, at the back of the room, slowly raised his hand. "Yes?" said the Instructor. "I was just wondering if it would be all right, if she carries a golf bag while we walk?" Brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it? This level of sensitivity can't be taught!

But overall, the majority of members chip in positively for any type of query. These personal experiences are very valuable IMHO. So please, just ignore the 'pseudo experts' and make your contribution.

Shortly after a British Airways flight had reached its cruising altitude, the captain announced: Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain. Welcome to Flight 293, non-stop from London Heathrow to New York. The weather ahead is good, so we should have an uneventful flight. So, sit back, relax, and... OH...MY GOD!" Silence followed................... complete silence!.......... Some moments later, the captain came back on the intercom. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm sorry if I scared you. While I was talking to you, a flight attendant accidentally spilled coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!" From the back of the plane, an Irish passenger yelled "For the luvva Jaysus, you should see the back of mine!*

Thoroughly drunk Bawa Dorabjee couldn't hold it any longer & far** loudly in a London restaurant. Lord Humphrey sitting at the next table gets very angry and says, “Excuse me. You have no decency, far*ing before my wife”. Distraught with contrition, Bawa Dorabjee stutters, “My hundred apologies. Believe me, I did not realise it was her turn!"

My HP Pro Book 4530s is 11 years - running Windows 11 Pro. Boot-up is a bit slow, but afterwards it's just fine.
