Shes has previously spoken of being part frog. Is it possible she has now gone all the way? wrote ianr

....is that a bullfrog or a cowfrog...........she might be a tadpole!

:)) Jah.

Gee's Linctus is for coughs, and it smells rather like those brown flat sweets 'bronchial drops'. Poor Moos!

Calpol and bonjella are very useful drugs for infant tunnellers.

You have my sympathy jaguar for what it's worth, but there are far too many under-employed marauding thieves on the streets right now.

A celebrity was asked what was his greatest achievement by some interviewer, and the celebrity replied

'giving up smoking'!

I thought that was an interesting answer.

I packed up loads of times before I succeeded and only then with the help of that chewing gum.

That was a steep learning curve to use, the pieces are far too big and too strong for a ten to fifteen a day man.

I finally worked out that cutting the lowest strength tablet into four strips with scissors, and then leaving one of them in the mouth between teeth and gum.

Do not chew it until you feel the twitch of desire, and then only a couple of bites and put it back to lie there.

It took longer than I expected but I had been smoking for thirty years.

Having now quit, to smell smoke going in and out of the supermarket or a blast of one in the street makes you feel a bit queasy.

The advantage of quitting is feeling free-er with less wheezing, coughing, clearing one's throat, and more money.

Look at it as every ciggy you don't have is a victory, and if you have a day without a victory of any kind then the next day or week you will have more successes.

Persistence, perseverence, and determination, are all words I have very few dealings with in my life, but indulgence, greed, and avarice are very close friends,

but little victories I could somehow understand.

And derybean, we can only treat ONE of your personalities at a time, which one is it to be ? wrote Annette Curtain

The nice friendly one, yoooou knoooow, the one who would not say "boo" to an administrator!

A collider is a Chinese passageway with doors leading off, isn't it.

I suppose that must be a smokers *cough* then, assuming quids is right, being only half rehabilitated.

'Knobs' the genitals, or 'nobs' the rich, which do you mean reggie?

Like Pol Pot, or the guy who led the Jonesville massacre?

Or possibly a troll Vornstyle?

LM is probably lying in a hot 'sow nah' as they pronounce it in Finland, (not sawner as they say here,) even as we speak.

I hope she is enjoying herself and carving out a new and fruitful life for herself too.

SeanmcG has put in more hours of 'calming' type chat on this forum than anyone else I can think of.

He had very little time for some of my dearly departed friends though, and possbly got rid of some of them too.

Narnia or is it Dicklan? How very dare you sully my Irish relatives name 'derrybean' he is a very sensitive but feisty mortal, and would be most irate if his name was used in vain, especially as he cannot speak up for himself, being a deaf blind mute 'n' all.

I observed one of the flock of sparrows that have eaten their way through a tub of fat balls,

collecting dry strands of grass and rushing into one of the boxes with it,

so they are nesting and spring has sprung.

You are not alone Huguenot,

he has been offered a free meal to make up for the first one, what more can proprietor Mark Dodds do, what more can you expect tllm2?

It seems to me there is more to this than meets the eye,

otherwise you would do as Mick Mack has already suggested and accept it with good grace,

and stop being an ungracious toad.

Huguenot it sounds as if you have sold your soul for tea and biscuits,

why should they not pay for peoples time like any other business would?

Everyone knows it can be an expensive indulgence to make a film,

but for those trying to do it on the cheap, smacks of doing it on the cheap at someone else's expense!

I am like Dulwichmum I can afford the best quality tea and biscuits money can buy........................from Iceland!

It will feel strange without Sean, he did add value to the forum.

The point of the census is to enable the councils to plan ahead for our future needs,

I cannot see the connection nor the value in boycotting it.

:)) absolutely Jah.

I ate one!

Gold will rise.

The yen will come under threat due to the earthquake in Japan.

A convincing post from Mark Dodds, who sounds very professional.

A milestone day in the garden, the first chaffinch I have ever seen here came and pecked around beneath the last of the fat balls.

Which was nice for me, but not liked by the pair of robins who consider it their rite to clean up the ground below the peanut feeders and the fat balls.

They tried unsuccessfully to drive him out, but pickings were far too rich to give up without a fight and the chaffinch is a bit bigger and heavier, so he was not going to be intimidated by a couple of robins.

I wonder if he will one day be metricated, and be called a chaff25millimetre, sometimes inches still work better!

I cannot remember when I last had "nice" post coming through the door, it's either junk mail or brown envelopes,

and nothing 'good' ever came out of a brown envelope!

Next time you swim could you please look the length of the pool underwater, is it clearly visible at the far end?

Please would you note what time swim session and the day.

You may PM me for the sake of anonymity.

I would like to know when it is murky?

I would like to present this valuable knowledge to the management to encourage an improvement.

Thank you.
