But I still ain’t sure iff I’m cumminor-goin…as yer’ll notice…

gettin on a train drunk is a good excuse to travel to magicland - may your hiccups be big ones and your farts silent and may you wander freely where you will when you alight at the other end -wherever that may be??
I think there is an interface problem, between contributions, and, an ordered life, most like to get chaos, as a correspondence course.
Good morning scribblers.
The last time I caught a train it had transmogrified into a bus, and one without toilet facilities to boot.
Even though I had only consumed a moderate quantity of beer that evening, there was no way I could make it home on a journey twice as long by road without a bog.
When I enquired about this change I was repeatedly told, it’s on our web site. Big flippin’ deal. It wasn’t mentioned when I got on the train at my home station, or at any point on route, and not everybody has access to the wonderweb anyway.
I spent a cold hour and a half on the station draining the beer I had rented as often as needed until I thought I could make the return journey on the last bus out of the big city. Even then it was touch and go, but the bus driver was a good egg and made an unofficial stop as near to Fruitcake Folly as he could get away with.
Mafeking was relieved.
It has fair put me off doing the trip again lest I find myself in the same predicament. I think I should carry a small resealable vessel with me next time, just in case.
Beer, and public transport are best not combined, stick to “Shorts” next time.
Thank You.
Hello Possums
I hope you are all well.
You will have to read my post at the Candy Bar, to see what I have been up to.
Now then, I have heard the saying let the train take the strain, but, having troubles on the bus - What a fuss.
I was going to post Kevin Bloody Wilson’s new version of Silent Night for you, but it is now too late.
Good afternoon Christmas survivors.
Watched a bit of Dickens stuff over the Christmas “You have a way about you that most people wouldn’t find unpleasant” From ”The Old Curiosity Shop”, I suppose that was Dickens way of saying your OK. I love his writings.
Yes indeed Spitty I’m very proud of you lads and our sweet lassie, nobody’s been on the carpet this year, tip wood, only five days to go.
Thank God I have never led an ordered life, if I wanted one I’d have joined the forces.
A wise old man once said to me “Jem my son, never live an ordered life for an ordered live is not a lived life, it’s an endured life” He was bang on as far as I was concerned, I sure had a great time of it and I’d do it all again if I was asked to.
I made this one up specially for you Spitty, in your own style, I hope you like it.
I hear a lot of Bollywood actors have moved to Hollywood, MGM have a new musical in the can to be released in the new year, it’s called “Im a Yankee Doodle Gandhi”
Thass right,Jem-I saw that fillum advertised!
Apparently,his dog does a song-and-dance in it,which the director named
“I’m a Yankee Poodle Gandhi!”
[oh dear-this is getting silly]
Yes Pug, but I believe they forget to give the dog a wash before filming and they had to change the name to “I’m a Manky Poodle Gandhi”

If I had tried to board the bus wearing shorts in November I think I might have been refused service.
What the Dickens were you doing?
I’ve lived a very ordered life, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I’ve ordered beer, and zyder, and lager, and shorts and stout, and peanuts, and pasties, and soup in a basket, and black forest bolleaux, and all sorts of other delicacies, and pickled eggs.
I also lived a sheltered life.
Bus shelters, air raid shelters, taxi shelters … 
I made this one up specially for you Spitty, in your own style, I hope you like it.
I hear a lot of Bollywood actors have moved to Hollywood, MGM have a new musical in the can to be released in the new year, it’s called “Im a Yankee Doodle Gandhi”.
Thanks for thought Jem, I am aware of Bollywood, but don’t like to make a song and dance about it, and, I’m certainly not going to Bhangra on about it.
isn’t marvellous when xmas is over everyone becomes ‘normal’ again; despite the odds of not becoming so
xmas day we had our 'giving presents ceremony in an aircon environ and then ham and eggs on the patio surrounded by fans as it was getting a chill warm then!
xmas tree - yes - cut down from our forest and sprayed silver - it looked very modern - it’s quite amazing no one was taking photos this year?
then we all snoozed until 5pm and then to another part of town for a family get together and a 'pool for the kids to cool off in - at this time the rain clouds were gathering and everything cooled down - there was darts; casual chats and swimming feats.
we now have a cyclone developing off the coast and despite being 500kms away it is giving us a sound thrashing of wind and rain - how wonderful nature can be from the tropics and monsoons in 48 hrs!
you can keep ya bollywood anyday I prefer turkey and rye!

I once had the complete works of Dickens back in the 70’s they arrived one or two books at a time from a reputable book firm.and I paid £1 per book - imitation leather covers! gave the entire set to my daughter years later and she gave them away - a microcosm of his times. I do believe reading him stimulates the brain cells whereas watching a film can be a passive affair.
I do have “christmas carol” dvd with Jim Carrey - took a while to get into that one! bloody ghosts everywhere!
