Jem - hand over the keys; and the diamond cutter - NO not phyllis she’s got too many sisters - I couldn’t cope with that
this is an over take - hand up ya sticks - lower ; lower - right now slowly higher ya belt guns!!
I’ll try that again - from the bottom - roll drum??
Did you all miss the story!
I give up.
That story is a classic example of contentment Sweetie, when push comes to shove that’s all most of us want in life, unfortunately there are always the greedy who think wealth and power is all that matters. The truth is the fisherman has less worries, less to lose, and more freedom than the businessman, a good lesson in life.;-)
Ah Mags your a topper, thanks for bringing back all those memories.;-)
What about this instead of a summer house? It costs 1,188 dollars plus shipping from China.
You couldn’t get up to any mischief in that thing, the missus could keep an eye on you all day, a see through shed.:shock:
I remember watching a film Jem, the boy in the bubble.
Thank you Mags, you are a treasure
You are very welcome Robert
Talking about the wife’s sisters, Christ I’ve just had a bellyful of them here a while ago, there’re all gone off in a minibus taxi, they never stopped yapping, God help the poor driver,
They’re all off to an 80th birthday do tonight herself and five sisters, her brother is 80 today.
Unfortunately I had to give it a miss due to a badly sprained ankle, I missed a rung on the ladder yesterday as I got down from fixing an outside spotlight, but you won’t hear me complaining, I suffer in silence martyr that I am ;-), while she’s living it up guzzling champagne and doing the cha cha cha I’ll be all alone minding the Dog, but the peace is wonderful, I wouldn’t swap it a share in Guinness.
Jem, never get Monophobia, its better to be Stereo-typical.
I’ve donated my body to medical science?
That’s very noble of you Gummy, lets hope when they’re finished with you they do a better job than they did with Humpty Dumpty.
Jem can you stop putting so many utubes up - it’s overloading the site and taking up too much time for us to listen to?
Cheer up Gummy!
Tis the season to be jolly. X
No problem at all Gummy, anything to keep you from getting grumpy during the festive season, lord knows there’s enough of that about.;-)
Infamous names.
I saw a film last night (The Fly II) starring Eric Schultz and I immediately thought of the gangster Dutch Schultz, funny how that immediately clicks in the mind. Then I began to understand why you never hear of anyone with the surname Stalin of Hitler anymore, Rasputin, Himmler, Capone, Dillinger.
If you want to go back further there was Goliath the giant Philistine who was slain by a little upstart of a youth called David, there are millions of Davids but not one Goliath today.
Come to think of it, if my missus was jewish she might have been called Phyllis Stein, and if my name was Frank when we walked down the avenue folks would say “Hey look! there goes Frank and Stein”
Lets not forget the most despised name of all Lucifer, wonder what would happen if your name was Nicolas Lucifer and you applied for a job as a clerk in Vatican City? I’m sure there are a few innocent blokes called Ted Bundy still out there cursing the guilty Ted Bundy for shaming the name.
Personally I think your surname does make people think twice, remember the actress Hazel Court when she thought twice and broke off her engagement to composer Anthony Nutt.
If you inherited an infamous name would you change it?, I know I would, if you want to get ahead get a good handle as they say in show business.
I have a story for you all about those horrid Turkeys.
I will post tomorrow, as I have pics to post in the Christmas section.
Hope you are all well. xxxx
