HA-GOTCHA!
solo is an avid…sorry…THE avid,devoted listener that Radio 3 boadcast to! SEE? it’s all SOLO’s fault!
As Jems good lady will verify, making a good rhubarb crumble takes skill and we ladies have our own secret ingredient to make it that bit special, so being ‘put orf’ is no laughing matter.
I was just ready to pour the port into the mix (that’s a secret so keep it quiet) but after reading your Mongolian roobarby thingy I had to drink that port instead which made me unable to see the dial to tune into Radio 3.
I declare the fault lies with you .:-p
Ah. Bloody typical.
JUST when you’re winning the argument,a woman starts using LOGIC!
Now,look,solo;just this once,I’m prepared to let you think you’ve won.
However-do NOT think that means a manchap geezer is wrong.
It merely means ANY bloke knows arguing with a female is a waste of time.
So…yes,dear.:hug:
What I want to now is, where have all my tadpoles gone?
There is a large pond in our jardin, and every year since I bought the place over thirty years go, frogs have visited and procreated, producing galleons of frogspawn, followed a few weeks later by toads doing the same.
Every year the frog and toad spawn has produced tadpoles, followed eventually by tiny ickle frogs and toads.
We used to get visits from newts and sloworms, and even migrating eels, but alas they stopped coming a few decades ago for no reason I can think of other than the ever expanding urban sprawl.
This year, for the first time since I bough Fruitcake Folly, there have been no tadpoles. Plenty of frogspawn, (but strangely no toadspawn) but it seemed to varnish overnight leaving not a trace of the little critters.
Where has it gone. Has some school board decided to save money by skimming neighbourhood ponds for frogspawn to serve at mealtimes as we used to have in days of yore, and mine?
Have the local foxes and badgers been eating it? Is it a result of Brexit, or global warming? I have no idea.
Answers please on a postcard.
When any frogs go missing over here they can usually be found in Croke Park.
Pug knows all about the wildlife Fruity, he might know.
Thank you for your concern lads but there’s no chance of the wife battering me, beneath it all she still loves me, she know me well and likes the bit of craic, she’s a far better slagger than me I can tell you.
Anyway what’s wrong with having big feet or small feet?, I have small feet, size 7 in a shoe, that’s considered small for a man. I’m sure there are fellas out there who go for little women with big feet and big women with little feet, others like long skinny necks on the women, and some prefer the fat triple chinned look, it takes all sorts of strange people to make a world.:shock:
Who remembers Pansy Potter from the Dandy comic? don’t know how she came into my mind.
Believe it or not this is a girl “Pansy Potter the Strong Man’s Daughter”
Note the Christmas presents, imagine trying to pan them off to todays kids.

Size 7? I shall be calling you Big Foot then. My feets are size 38 or 5 1/2 in old money.
If they were any smaller I would fall over in a breeze. The advantage is I can buy kids shooze and save on the VaT.
As for the girl in the cartoon, she looks very simliar to Dennis the Mennis. I wonder if the illustrator could only draw one basic character.
chemicals in the air and the water - we are spraying ourselves into non existence!
yes tadpole collecting [in the wild but not nude] was a daring and exciting time of youth - then nurturing them [cornflakes and brown sugar optional] and watching them transform into frogs - we all felt like magicians - well my sister didn’t cos we wouldn’t let her join in - she always wanted to put them in a pie and cook em!
I am drunk at my bar.
Fruitcake Frogs Faring Frightfully.
Frogs are an amazing species.
Their dwindling numbers are firmly attributable to us Earthlings.
What’s amazing about frogs.
Simply stated, they breathe oxygen through their skin.
When that oxygen in the atmosphere is thin or polluted, the frogs are close to the first species to be “gassed”.
This is why their demise, WORLDWIDE, is an alarming issue.
Frogs are known as an INDICATOR species, if they get sick, then we will follow them in due course.
Chief Seattle spoke of this in his prophetic speech.
“Whatever happens to this EARTH happens to the sons of the EARTH.”
Goodnight Possums.
Fruity, sorry to hear about your Low Tadpole Count.
Still have flashbacks to when some orrid school boys who in the name of science put straws in the derriere of frogs and blew like mad to see how far they would puff up. They did and one exploded…hence the flashback.
Rapid future career thoughts after that.
Too much shade can interfere with frog spawn being laid or developing. Do some cutting back if pond is too shaded
An anatomical note on the size of any mans foot. Just so long as they can put their foot down when necessary who really cares.
NO desire to appear too ‘learned’ or ‘he noze evrykink’…not even for Jem. Today,have been been banned from two science discussion forums for correcting persons referring to themselves as ‘experts’ who have NO idea just how large a diversity is betwixt ‘science’ and ‘physics’. Mostly due to my putting them right,regarding Penrose’s incompleteness theorem [68] which highlights
the incompleteness of the ‘Schwarzschild/Kerr’ theorem and is a stable feature when operatedin the context of dynamics vs impetus.
BOOM!..and I’m now blocked. Oh…thank you,chaps…
So,iff’n yer don’t mind,I’ll just say “Try understanding Leptin,it’s values,what it’s requirements to operate effectively are…and just how few places are available today that ate totally free of mankind’s interference.”
Uvvran that,I don’t know nuffink.
I’ll go away now… sorry ‘n’ that…
Ai thenkyoh.
Pugsy Bear you need a hug.
I tend to give AI a wide berth.
So sorry PUGSYWUGSY, but , as I have discovered,
no one likes a smart arse.
But I believe you to be erudite, articulate, perfect in promulgation. well read, deeply intelligent, eager to impart knowledge .
An all-round good egg in fact, unlike the verger’s egg which was only good in parts.
i’m with RJ, Pugsy, you do big paragraphs, respect, and, there is only one way to deal with a Smart Arse, get a Bidet!!!
Anyone here a good snogger?
I dunno, never kissed any of um.
