I use personal photographs rather than postcards. I take a LOT of pictures and I usually make prints of the better ones. I have a close relationship with one of my two grand daughters and she has a scrapbook of my pictures I send her. Most are off flowers, butterflies and wild life... such as elephants, The ones she likes the most are of various geckos and lizards. When I take pictures of Thai families I always return later with a photograph to give them.

Probably not by postcard but by vibes from a doll with pins stuck in it. :unsure:

With all these gizmo's our page now has, they should include a list of banned members so we can see if they possibly have been resurrected at any time under a different name. Have at times read stuff that perhaps is in the same vein as a member that has not posted for a while. :)

bugger Ive been rumbled !

and i would have gotten away with it if it hadn't of been for the pesky interfering kids. annoyed.giflaugh.gifwink.gif

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I COMPLETELY missed the topic! :blink::D

I'm guessing that some of our more prolific posters are on holiday just now.

Do you think they'll send us a postcard while they're away?

SC

I thought you meant "REAL" holidays. :redcard2:

Very good Ian :D

I'm always amused to see the phrase group:banned it makes me wonder what said individual did to deserve said fate. Maybe it was asking stupid questions like this one, oh no I'm doomed :blink:

Recently, a carrier pigeon tapped on my window and had this message for me ...

It was a message from StreetCowboy post-104736-0-04662300-1337206583.jpg who is enjoying an overseas holiday but is in a place cut off from TVF civilization.

Weather is here, wish you were lovely…

I took advantage of the free time on my holiday to go for a bit of a bevvy the other night. I started off in town at the Beach Club, but they wouldn’t let me in as I was too casually dressed.

“Sorry sir, you can’t come in without a tie”

“I was hoping to pick one up here…” but he was having none of it, and sent me on my way.

So I went down to Ol’Skool, deep in Indian country, to catch up with some friends from before I was young. Tom and Cliff were there – it was his suggestion to get the bus home.

“Why, why, why?”

“It’s not that daft an idea, Tom”, I said.

“It’s not unusual…” he admitted.

Anyway, I stopped off at Sid’s on the way home.

Ray French was there, watching the rugby. “You’re sounding rough, Ray,” I told him. “What kind of cough medicine are you taking?”

“A paint ov ballast ‘nd aggregate”

“I’ll have a Guinness & gravel, then” I Said. “What about you?” I asked, turning to the other side.

“AaaaaaaaaAAahmaaaaaaaaaaAAAAwaaaaaaaaa’haeaeaeaemenoooo000oooo”

“Oh – cheers Imam, hear you the morra’s mornin’ then”

That’s the Imam’s place there – you can see he’s wailing because he’s locked himself out again.

Cheers the now,

SC

StreetCowboy ...I hope that not too much was lost in translation ... my pigeon English is not as sharp as it could be.

In the words of Chalres Endell Esq.

"I'm back. I'm most definetley back"

I found this lying on the door mat when I got back, so I thought I'd pin it up for the lads in the pub...

Mate, I wondered where you had gone ... I felt like a sitting duck without you.

Hope you enjoyed the holidays.

Shame we can't view the photos ... when I click on them, it says that I don't have permission to view them.

So anyway, I'd gone down the pub after the footie for some tea, quite ebullient after another win for the burgundies (sorry, lads, I just can't bring myself to say 'maroon')

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/278791-live-rugby-league/page__st__450#entry5325484

The Imam was there, getting loosened up for the call to prayers the morrow's morning, and I asked if he'd been watching the game.

"Yez're all so antagonistic. I can't understand why y'all can't relate to your fellow men in the nature of kind-hearted humour and tolerance."

That's what the imam said to me, anyway, when I was telling him about the State Of Origin... I might have used turns of phrase like 'well-deserved hiding' and 'blue bastarts' (oh the irony of it!)

Anyway, the pointis - Can you believe they'd not been showing it in the pub, and he'd not even known it was on. I told him that one of his clerics had said it was the devil's game (http://au.news.yahoo.com/nsw/latest/a/-/newshome/13702269/muslim-preacher-attacks-rugby-league/), promoting drinking and gambling, and he said "I'll bet you the next round it was a Saudi bloke". I doubt it, since league is so big in Saudi (http://www.rlef.eu.com/news/article/431/saudis-wrest-back-mena-u14), so I'm looking forward to a pint at the Imam's expense...

Anyway, the Imam went on "yezareallalkies,bytheway, ahcannaebelieve evenyerpriestsdrink"

"To be fair, Imam, that's the other lot; a wee drap of the blood of Christ of a Sunday..."

"Ayeso-onnyway, whit does the pope drink?"

"Well, I believe that he drinks creme de menthe"

"Hiyjohnnie!Gie'sapintaecremedementhethen"

"Steady, Imam - don't..."

"Ananauryinfirmamancowboyhere"

"Well thanks very much but ..."

He stood up to toast -

"Slange, then"

"WAIT..."

but it was too late...

"Goodnessgraciousmeee, its nae wunner they carry him roon in a chair!", as he slid gracefully to the floor. I suppose I'm going to have to cover for him at the call to prayers again the morrow's mornin. Better lap up a laphroaig to loosen the larynx, then, lads...

I'm still looking up ''ebullient'' sad.png

Boiling, or agitated as if boiling. Bubbling.

Boiling, as in a liquid turning to vapour, not as in "He had an enormous ebullience on the end of his nose, the kind that begged to be pointed at and poked, or lanced with a cocktail stick"

My apologies for "Gie'sapintaecremedementhethen" - you might need more than wikipedia for that. Perhaps I should get theblether to dub it into English

Just thought I'd mention it.
