"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

@spendius,

Afternoon Y'all Very Happy

Busy busy day!

Won't be home for 'nother coupla hours - but in the meantime Spendi, as you're obviously in a talkative mood - if you'd like to enlighten me on what the quote below means - I'd appreciate it.

Huxley might well have been talking about this thread. The vulgarity is painful on here.

I'm obviously missing a piece of the jigsaw!

@Izzie,

I'm knackered over this cider. I don't have a fruit press, so I'm using a food processor to pulp it up in batches, then pouring boiling water over it. So far I've got a bit under 3 gallons of juice, my keg holds about 5.5 gallons. I've just whizzed up another load of apples, and will add the juice Thursday. Still got loads of apples left.

Spendi is commenting on an extract from Huxley's Eyeless in Gaza, which I posted because it reminds me of him. (Reproduced below)

Quote:

Ox in cup. The words, the basely comic image, spotted the home counties that summer and autumn like a skin disease. One of a score of nasty and discreditable infections. The train which carried Anthony Beavis into Surrey rolled through mile-long eczemas of vulgarity. Pills, soaps, cough drops and - more glaringly inflamed and scabby than all the rest - beef essence, the cupped ox.

Hey Zy - yep, I get the ref to Huxley hence my Sybille Jigsaw remark - I just don't get his reference to this thread - but I'm knackered too and not firing on all cylinders; am thinking he's having a pop at our chittering here. So, I'll press a little further I guess.

'eh, Brave New World and all that Wink

I was meant to be going to pick up something from t'other county but am too knackered - so gonna go for a zzzzzz - work was manic manic manic <blech>

Good luck with your pressing. Man, you're pretty handy in the kitchen - can't say I enjoy cooking or ought like that - but then I'm not that keen on food... or drink, 'ceptin' tea! Dayum, do love bovril on toast tho Very Happy

@Izzie,

I don't get his reference to this thread either. I've just been admonished by Spendi on The British Thread, for demonstrating my knowledge of a few French words. Guess I'm too macho (his words, not mine.)

Anyway, got to log off, someone else needs the computer.

@Izzie,

I don't mind the "chittering" on here Izzie. But if nobody has a pop at it it might become the normal style of conversation.

Four of us were discussing how best to save Europe from imminent financial collapse the other night when we were interrupted by a drunken bimbo who had come over to show off the flesh her skimpy clothing allowed to be dispayed. And mighty fine flesh it was I must admit. It was a pity that she continually oscillated between pulling her hem downwards and her top upwards.

Anyway, in no time at all, we were all happily chittering. Her "wedges" were the main topic of conversation. And what time she went to work. Which was four hours before I wake up. Europe was quickly forgotten. The only trouble was that she had big feet and a couple of bunions.

Hi JustBrooke, you're bringing a ray of sunshine to the thread, enjoy the days left before returning to campus, ready for the salsa?

Missed salsa with our sexy Dutchy. Sad

You do give rain checks, yes? (((Dutchy)))

Who turned the heat off? Was at the campground nightly off-and-on all weekend. It went from really hot and not wanting to sit around the fire at night -- to so cool that you couldn't get close enough to the fire, not to mention close enough to soak in the collective body heat of others. Wink

Rest when you get home, Iz. I hope you had a good day, albeit long and tiring. xo

Good day to all yabbers! xo

So, you simply wished to be snide 'because you can' whilst, on the British thread, opining judgements about things you know absolutely nothing about.

Great Scott! Supercilious sanctimonious rather hard mouthed Spendi! Who knew?

Your apparent need to put 'chitterers' in their place because someone has to, and spitefully remind us that there are far more important going's on in the world, just seems unnecessary to me and rather bitchy. I'm sure you'll continue to stomp as you wish.

Hi there Brooke! Hello Letty! Good to see you both.

So many folkses yabbering on the yabber liner these days. That's a good thing right? Wink

Izzy with a Y - your concoctions sound wonderful. Sounds like a lot of work though! I have friends that brew beer at home...that can be interesting sometimes... but not something I have wanted to have again. Yet. Maybe they will find a good recipe and stick with it! Wink

((JPB)) ((Dutchy))

Ahh hello darling FQ. Thank you hun. It's fine. All's well...think of you often as well. Enjoy Prague! Sounds wonderful!

hugs and kisses y'all...going to find something for the boys to eat. Smile

I have on the cutest little dress and apron - with 3 inch stilletto heels - just for you. Now watch me scratch my ass and pull my granny panties out of my crack as I walk away. Nice picture that - eh?

@mismi,

Not bad. 6 inchers tighten the ass up at least twice as much as 3 inchers.

@spendius,

Good luck with that.
