I love ya fingers SP!!
They are Ciderz.
A grand bit of variety here lately, the spice of life to be sure.
Quote Robert Junior.
“After Bob went he left the SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM written BY that chap Lawrence of Arabia.
I never read them cos there were only 2 volumes that I could see & my dad said they weren’t suitable for me to read. This was my first knowing encounter with parental hypocrisy, for in the sideboard behind the books on the CORONATION were the PERFUMED garden & the KAMA SUTRA”
That Kama Sutra book always looked like a lot of hard work to me RJ, 101 ways of making one look like a naked gobshite with the possibly of crippling oneself for life in the process, I’m old fashioned and like to be parallel whilst indulging it that sort of thing, I was never the adventurous type anyway.
What’s the Perfumed Garden about, Roses?
I’ve heard highly educated people say a lot of stupid things over the years, but I thought most of them would see the error in using that silly expression “He reinvented himself” or so and so “Reinvented the vacuum cleaner”
Even I with basic education know that once something has been invented it stays invented, oh yes it can be improved upon and altered, but never reinvented. Same with people, even though people are not inventions, they are the result of millions of years of animal evolution, they may be able to change their appearance and adjust their personalities, but no more.
Sad to hear learned folks use such untrue words, while still looking down on the unwashed.
Only yesterday at lunchtime in the local a professor from the newly opened college nearby dropped in for a sandwich and a pint, he turns to me and says “I’ll bet you knew a few of the real old spit and sawdust pubs in your day?” “I did indeed” says I “Well how do you like the new smoke free reinvented pubs now?”
I would have loved to hit him with an ash tray, but there ain’t none in these new reinvented smoke free pubs.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS REINVENTION.
Some say, there is no such thing as evolution.
I’m at your side holding up the flag of grammatical accuracy,Jem.
ReSTYLED,yes. Improved,…well,ok; [it’s actually a matter of preference] or even regenerated…but ‘reinvented’ oh,P155 off!
Bring back the dart-throwing,Guinness-swilling,insult-swapping,ashtray-filling,happy,pool-playing pub;along with the clientele who were everyday people,communing,caring and covering for their neighbours,their friends and their locale. Today,those people are sat at home watching Beastenders,Constipation Street and policemen pulling up stolen cars/drunk drivers/cannibis users,ALL of whom get a tuppenny fine and a ‘suspended sentence’ of a few weeks,plus 6 points on a driving licence they haven’t got anyway-WHAT is the point of banning a stoned,gobby teenager from driving,when he/she’s already driving without a licence,in a stolen car,whils’t stoned out of his/her tree?!? Bring back public lashing,I say-and the stocks. [je suis extremely forgiving regarding ar5ehole5 that ignore/laugh at laws put in place to protect,not to subjugate. I imagine that shows?]
I don’t know where to start;-)
Books OMG I had to google The Perfumed Garden:blush:
Whatever happened to Lady Chatterley’s Lover?
Pubs??? You can do what you like in mine:mrgreen:
Yeah, all the thugs and low life get thrown INTO yours.
Wah fancy saying that.:shock:
I see YOU there often:lol:
You have to bring a bell if you pop in today.
Umm…lifting the mood a tad -I saw a heron this morning,as I was bringing my boat into dock.
Haven’t seen herons around this island for years,so that was most pleasant. NO idea what it’s doing here at this time of year,etc-but if it want’s a home,I have a nesting place ready,all kitted out…and a mere 3 eggs a week rent!
Take a pic Pugsy.
It’s a bit late,Sweetikins…it was around three hours ago and I have NO idea where or even IF it’s nesting here hon. But if i spot it again,I’ll do my best,my loverhhh.
Never mind. You have other pics. X
Now,this’ll bore the lacy undies off of ol’ gummybear…
This is a photo of Radio Caroline. Yes,it does still broadcast,on a restricted licence. I sailed past it this morning…made a video,but that won’t let me post it,so - here’s ‘Ross Revenge’,the last of the ships to be used in the trilogy of vessels that made up Radio Caroline’s history and brought fame to several dj’s,who went on to become household names…and it’s clearly visible from Casa Puggy.

That is very interesting Pugsy. To post a video, you will need to use a hosting site such as Youtube, then post as normal Youtube. x
Yerwot?
Miss Pie,I’m treble-hot,regarding physics,String-Theory its alternatives and it’s quantifiable alternatives,such as Loop Quantum Gravity,Asymptotically Safe Gravity,Causal Dynamical Triangulations and/or Emergent Gravity…but regarding ‘‘soshal meja’’ and playing with the vagaries thereof…well…one’s insufficiencies show,regarding one’s ability to co-erse,converse,co-operate…or merely attempt to be accepted by ‘normal’ humans…weeeell…one is alone for a reason. Sigh-t’is true. To most humans,I’m a weirdo. It’s a truth that only within the universities am i accepted as a person,rather than a freak. Oh-and would someone kindly [and gently] explain to gumboil that the mental convolutions required for him to consider and assimilate imponderables,designates a reductive aspective asymmetry,resulting in complete deficiency of cerebral assimilative efficiency.
“naked gobshite” tsk tsk
I had the good fortune of running a bookshop in the 1970’s
Titles can be misleading
viz
Our Lady of the Flowers (not gardening).Jean Genet.
Portnoy’s complaint (not medical) Philip Roth.
Fear of Flying (not aviation) Erica Jung.
Fanny Hill (not for hill climbers)
I will get help.
Sorry, Young Robert Fanny Hill. I saw the play.
