BUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRP!

I have just had some chiliheat nachos with a home made dip made with soured cream and chilli flavoured sun-dried tomatoes...

Som Tam and freshly caught trout by my own fair hands.

And a Thai friend we invited round to share brought me some Cobra beer, fair play to her

<h5 class="date">Friday August 28, 2009</h5> Proving the adage "less is more’’, New York City’s narrowest house, a three-metre-wide, 14-metre-deep Greenwich Village red-brick, is up for sale for $US2.7 million ($A3.2million). Real estate agent Alex Nicholas admits, "You have to be very clever in how you decorate".

Sparingly I would suggest !

These guys would be perfect...and being seven guys and one girl in the same house they'd fit right in to the Village scene...

Just noticed a couple of well known posters on the banned list:

Texpat and CFIT (formerly HorseDoctor)

I'm shaking my head at this report in the Wirral News..

WIRRAL Council is offering to spend £300-a-head teaching teenagers how to catch a bus.

Wirral’s “Travel Training” service can be accessed by anyone over 16 and explains paying your fare, getting on a train or bus and of course, how to get off at the right stop.

My Mum & Dad taught me when I was about 6, what's gone wrong in the U.K. or is it just the Wirral ?

I have to say, I'm not sure how to catch a bus or train, or how much it would cost, in my home city.

I havent done it in a coons age.

I've been on trains in London, Paris, Rome, Athens, Sydney, Vienna, Amsterdam, Zurich, and many other places I can't recall at the moment, more recently than where I have lived most of my life.

I've owned cars for zonks and never catch public transport where I live. Is that weird?

Wonder why that is...Tex is a model poster elsewhere...

Flounced outta there, bounced right back again from here

Bulldogs to finally break the drought?

I wonder why out here, the Male Camels don't make the Female Camels, wear an Abaya and Hijab

Well it was quick if nothing else.

(I'll see myself out.)

Ooooh, I love a bank holiday!

Oooh, I love Ramadan and Eid

Bugger Bank Holiday's & Ramadan

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,

snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,

silver white winters that melt into springs,

these are a few of my favorite things.

......and a good Gin & Tonic .

We got sunlight on the sand,

We got moonlight on the sea,

We got mangoes and bananas

You can pick right off the tree,

We got volleyball and ping-pong

And a lot of dandy games!

What ain't we got?

We ain't got Boddington's

Not being mich of a reader of serious stuff, my preferences run to fun/ny, stuffs.

Nino Cullotto was/is a gem.

Read all his, laff aloud in the bus, books.

Fred Dagg is good for similar books with his sons, Fred, Fred, Fred, Fred, Fred, Fred, Fred, and Fred.

In another form, Murray Ball and his series, Footrot Flats with, Wal and The Dog, were so spotton taking the mickey, speshully of the farming community, best ever cartoon strip.

Better than Snoopy.

Move along folks, there's nothing happening here...

Friday September 4, 2009

Desperate times call for desperate measures. The Circus of Horrors in Dorset, England, has been swamped with applications to join its freak show. The circus was expecting a handful of replies from its ad at Jobcentres this week but there have been 50 callers and far more are expected to audition.

Any interested bedlamites will have to be quick !

Where do you think all the demand came from in the first place?

I am watching 'Have I got news for you' on iplayer. After all these years it's still a great show. I love it!
