I was thinking I may start doing my shop local, as in small independent shops. But it does mean I will have to visit about eight different shops, it will also take me most of the day. Or I could stick with getting everything under one roof, and grumble at the end of it :whistle:
 
Talking about downsides. I'm loving the weather, but suit and tie and dress shoes is getting rather hot now. Can't wait to be home and switch to shorts and thongs.

Got all the doors open, ceiling fan on, desk top fan on. Stripped right down to my shorts, going outside after I post this. Not sure if I have any cold beers left o_O

At no point, in the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme, does it say that Humpty is an egg.

There are a few ideas and myths as to what or who Humpty Dumpty was, but one idea that seems the most plausible is that during a battle in 1648, Humpty Dumpty was a big cannon, that fell from tower of a church in Colchester known as St Mary's by The Wall and broke.

Sounds far more likely than an egg! :lol:

I really like this sort of stuff. Most, if not all, nursery rhymes have a story behind them.

Warming up the coals now :) BBQ time, yum yum.
 
During my lunchtime walk at work, we passed the high speed test track where a few new Ford Rangers and competitor pick ups were being put through their paces by various engineers, they'd set up a BBQ trackside.
 
Wasn't me. I'm nearby but not that close :)

Far far too much information :p


I hate summer, all these people firing up BBQ's when I have all the windows open stinking out the place, :(

Stop farting then. ;)
 
So much poop on the TV, nothing worth watching. Nothing like the Cedar Tree on any more, to keep a boring old fart like me entertained :(

I can't even remember the last time I turned mine on to watch a TV programme,
and a few weeks ago to fire up the blu-ray.

Besides we have it all here, comedy, legal, drama's, and some of the best fiction you could ever want to read :thumbs:

Could do with a good thriller, or a kind of who done it mystery. But not sure how we would go about that :thinking:

I could always ban someone random, then you have to guess "who" it was, and whodunnit :D



We even reach "the other side"? how cool is that (y)

Well you dunnit, ;) now we just need to work out who you banned.

Used to like who Whodunnit with Jon Pertwee, ( convinced you spelt whodunnit wrong but no ) NO we would have to guess why they were banned. As most on this forum probably do, wonder why a member was banned. Trawling back through posts, and figure what it was that got them banned :D
