IanForbes 449 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerfish 231 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Probably not by postcard but by vibes from a doll with pins stuck in it. 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.

Popular Post David48 10664 Posted May 16, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Recently, a carrier pigeon tapped on my window and had this message for me ... It was a message from StreetCowboy 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.

StreetCowboy 9082 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Mr StreetCoboy, I hope you are enjoy holiday. Do you have fun? Thailand is nice place for fun ... 5555 Good luck all things 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... ____________________________ I'm on holiday in Glasgow just now, this city looks far better at night than it does by day........... That's the gorgeous Gorbals, a high class location with some outstanding residents, famed throughout the world for their own brand of hospitalilty That's the weir on the River Clyde, it's a goddamed awful place if your a salmon trying to get home......... and that's the famous Jamaica Bridge.......I can honestly say no, she did it voluntarily, honest Your Honour I'll be gone for a couple of days, I need to go buy some suspenders for the Mrs......... She's the one with the dark hair ___________________________ He's not signed it, but I think from the handwriting, its from one of my East End Neighbours (actually, more Take The High Road, but...) SC I'd have thought she could have found a couple of suspenders on this forum (I'll be back on my holidays in a moment, with talk like that...)

David48 10664 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Mate, I wondered where you had gone ... I felt like a sitting duck without you. Hope you enjoyed the holidays.

StreetCowboy 9082 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 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...
