It was a nasty day weather wise so I watched an old Dickens film out in the cabin, there was a female gang inside the house with Phyllis and several of her sisters so I got off side for a while. The film was David Copperfield, I really enjoyed it, hadn’t seen it for a very long time, wasn’t Dickens just about the best writer ever.
You all know the story, towards the end the crooked solicitor (Ron Moody in this version) is confronted by the aggrieved parties in his office, he’s not expecting what is about to happen, the old Aunt is looking very serious and he offers her a drink, she comes out with a beauty “No thank you, I’ll not be cork-screwed out of my senses”
Now if I had a fiver for every time I was cork-screwed out of me senses I’d be a wealthy man today. Phyllis says that I’d promise the Sun Moon and Stars when I have a few jars on me, I just can’t say no to people, she has to keep telling them up in the local and the neighbours on the street that I’m retired now and not doing jewellery anymore, so they try to collar me when she’s not around and ‘cork-screw’ me by buying me pints.
Come to think of it I had a few on me the night I asked her to marry me, Dutch courage, I forgot that I had asked her the next day but she didn’t, I supposed one could say I was cork-screwed into marriage too, Jem Twist.
Any of you lot ever get cork-screwed out of your senses?
Spent very little time twisting in my sobriety, that may have been influential.
now that’s just being cruel you know I feed Pug more than that!
you’ve been foiled again sweetie!
here’s me corkscrewing the night away circa 1978 HK
What the Dickens.
I think, there are more facilitators than workers on this thread.
I’m not a bee.
I don’t have a David Copperfield bottom.
I’m lazy too.
you had ya chance spittie - there was a ‘jackhammer’ instructors position vacant but with no offers it just ‘shuddered’ to a halt? :!:
Goodnight Possums.
Maybe Anomalies tomorrow.
nobody is playin with my anomalies but perhaps spittie will let you see his?
I doubt it, Mollie has not been active for a year or so now.
Now there’s a tale or two to be told as on my few pathetic attempts at drinking only led to total chaos at the time and having to live down very embarrassing dining recalls.
You see my love for travelling and drinking were meant for trouble from the start as if you put the two together you never knew where I would end up along with anyone who thought they had a chance of talking me out of wherever I had decided to go .
Weeeeeeeeee that was a tale of the unexpected.
I seem to have lost my long weight, I have a back scratcher so no worries.
My Passionflower is strangling my Jasmin, is that a deadly sin?
I used to love Travelling and Drinking, we used to call it a “Pub Crawl”.
I went on a haunted pub crawl once. It was great fun, I researched all the old pubs in the New Forest, for such tales.
The more we all drank the scarier it became:shock:
We had a sober driver btw.
BOO!
[there…that was especially for the timorous Miss Pie]
…coz a wellard big hunk such as…sayyy…GUMBUM {t’take a purely random name,y’understand} would be right in there,headbuttin’ they spooks with his butch feather duster!..
[y’know - he never did tell me why he likes dusting feathers…]
Hello Pugsy Bear, lovely to see you.
Do you keep any anomalies?
What are those deadly sins?
Actually, this is better for you.
