Strange that Pug, I’m presently reading a book called “Coffin” by Ian Phiegming.
we now have some version of Poldark on our channels here - I remember watching it years and years ago - not sure what version this is but just catching glimpses but it does look good strangely enough!
We have our own Irish version of that on TV Gumbud, all about a Polish emigrant who came to Dublin in the 18th century, he set up a gang of shamrock smugglers and sold the stuff off to Irish Americans who were only too delighted to buy it by the ton for St. Pats day. It’s called ‘Darkpole’. ;-)
I wuz only trying to help.
Back in the day, I became friendly with an eighty something gent in my local pub. He was having trouble with rowdy neighbours and cash flow.
He was quite domineering to his wife, who owned the house they lived in- a gift from her mothers will
Seizing am opportunity to help them I dived straight in with help getting an ASBO & applications for benefits which he wasn’t aware of.
My attempt to DO-GOOD, backfired because the rowdy neighbours noises continued after they had moved elsewhere. The cause of all the noise was actually TINNITUS.
To top this the wife confidentially told me to forget the benefits- she had claimed them all for years and that her husband was such a pig that she decided not to tell him.
I received no thanks either from my octogenarian friend who brushed me off with the accusation that since we had become “friends” his wife was answering him back.
So much for being a good neighbour - some things just can’t be fixed.
I know how it is RJ, and it makes you think twice before you try to help out anyone again, very hard to figure some folks out.
A day in the Life of a Forum
By Mars Barr.
A bunch of old members were chewing the cud
Some for the bad and some for the good
Moral credentials were up for inspection
Should it be firing squad or lethal injection
Then came the subject of rape
Beat him to death or let him escape?
“You go to work dear and I’ll stay at home”
“No you go to work I’ve Sisters to phone”
All sorts of things get discussed on a forum
Do we talk about them or just Ignore’m
Say what you think and press that button
Yeh didn’t join the forum for nothin’
You’re my kind of poet Jem…Awesome…and true…
Thank you Robert, I’ll buy you a pint the next time you’re in Dublin.;-)
This is great, Teamwork exemplified, when you can’t be arsed to do a poem, another “Team Member” does.
Nah-knackers to poems,I just can’t write 'em.
I’ve tried,but my efforts are such a sad item.
I use the same rhymes,y’see,ad-infinitum;
Though I still read the posts on this thread,despite 'em.
There was a young fellow called Pug
Who said he just couldn’t but he dud
He just needs a kick start like a back engine fart
Then he’ll be chug chugging our Pug
:-D:-D
“I had a good look at close quarters yesterday” I heard the wife saying that to her sister today. Why do we say close quarters? can we not look at close halves, close thirds?
Why do people vanish into thin air? is there no such thing as medium or fat air? I thought you only get thin air on mountain tops.
[CENTER]golf links; apparitions and hormones![/CENTER]
Now as you may have gathered I do like the golf links to myself at 5.30am. there is no sensible need for any other soul to be abroad.
so there was I a steady pace contemplating my navel with the trusty dog foraging about when half way round I was confronted by an apparition on the trot. She must have been 27yrs I would estimate and jogging very swiftly with HER trusty sheep dog scurrying along, but kept coming back to investigate mine!
anyway the apparition continued unabated but what I did notice apart from the ubiquitous headphones was some tight clinging shorts which housed wobbly bottoms! - two of them.
I was mesmerized - my second wife used to say that I had good firm bottoms as she couldn’t stand a man with a flat bottom anyway where was I - oh yes the apparition. Well I would not have minded one bit if her dog had had played with mine as long as she [the apparition] would play with me - but no such luck - off she went wobble wobble wobble wobble - in absolute symmetrical unison until she just became a blot on the landscape.
I did consider for one wee moment giving chase but apart from being physically incapable my “don’t be silly” hormones kicked in and I plodded off on my own dreary way. that was my short excitement for the day!
JEM;
Right…at last my years of itereenc…itenaranc…itinran…sod it…travelling,are of use! 'Close Quarters is a naval term,originally used to refer to the section of deck closed off using spars,to forestall invaders/boarders easy access around the deck. Later,it came to mean any small,closed section of a vessel. [ahoy,yer lubber!]
Oh-and thick air is called fog…EASY to vanish into!
Gumbud…
Keep dreaming those dreams-but with yourself as being deliberately unobtainable to such panting XX’s…it’s a way of feeling better about reality…
well many other peoples do use the golf links as well as the golfers but we all manage to select a time that gives us an illusion of “aloneness” - I do believe that all ramblers and dogs have to be off by 6.30am which is a bit silly really because very few golfers are about mon - fri but there ya go.
some users of course only select particular days whilst i use it everyday so I do have more chances of seeing “wobblers” go by! Hope she doesn’t run around the bedroom at that speed!
Pug I always look forward to your appearances and comments - very amusing and enlightening too - wez do need to be 'ducated me Lord!
Just heard on the news, there are Floating Voters living on local Canals.
I am very interested in those enormous car transporters. You know the type I mean . Loaded with tightly packed brand new vehicles in what seems to be precarious , unsafe order.How do they get them on board, how about the order of loading, unloading, which lever is for which car platform. ?
BTW, what has happened to the thread, misleadingly named SEX? It had little to do with sex, more to do with personal taste in humour, and lack of humour, dotted with personal insults & bad humour. I posted a harmless comment. Quite quickly the thread became barred to me & I was signed out.
What?
I think the mods and rockers are afeared of a IS attack on the site due to insulting comments about MEstern gentlemen ?
so let’s get this straight - they are living ON the canal not IN the canal? - we’ll take this one rather slowly methinks - there could be severe political ramifications rather similar to the SEX thread - anybody know where the SEX thread went to bye the bye?
Ps: they’re not Canadian migrating ducks are they?
pps: Pug - your technical skills are required here methinks?
My Favourite Hobby.
My favourite hobby is eating,
I just can’t stop filling my face.
You’ll have to agree that I’m not gree-dy
But it helps when I run in a race.
My favourite hobby is running,
Each week I can run several miles,
I run in me shorts and show off me warts,
Then write it all down in my files.
