The Neverending "Conversation About Everything" Chain

@Dutchy,

Species of fish really doesn't matter to me. You are making me hungry, and envious.

@spikepipsqueak,

Envious women eh!!! The universal energy source of stock markets.

Markets are postively influenced by the confluence of economic optimism and available investment capital. Without one or the other, growth is minimal.

Minimal levels of income are required to achieve an adequate standard of living. Failing that it is said you're living below the poverty line.

Line your nest with feathers and you will sleep comfortably and warm. Our bird friends have taught us that.

Singer sewing machines are handy little tools. Whether they still use them in workshops where they make frilly lingerie I don't know.

Know Your Enemy: Japan was an American propaganda film. It never realized its purpose due to the war’s abrupt end soon after its release.

@Dutchy,

'Release'(d) from the noise of the butcher and baker' is the first line of a poem by Matthew Prior called 'Jinny the Just'. I've always thought she sounded like someone I'd have loved to have been able to meet.

*thanks for reminding me of that Dutchy- I'd forgotten all about that poem.

@Dutchy,

Meet me behind the shelter sheds, Spendi. Does that make you nervous?

@aidan,

You're a wealth of knowledge Aidan.

Nervous I would certainly be. Fancy meeting a strange woman behind a shelter shed.

I had an English professor (in America) who loved him (Prior)

Shed your inhibitions Dutchy and take a chance. She may not be THAT strange!

@aidan,

Strange as it may seem, I shall just do that Aidan and loosen the shackles. Where are you pipsqueak, what's on your mind other than reading one word poetry? Smile

"Poetry in motion" was how Alf described Mrs Jolly's descent on the spiral slide at the vicarage summer fair. It seems she displayed her pink bloomers all the way down and tumbled in an ungainly heap at the bottom nether end uppermost.

Uppermost on my mind, Dutchy, was giving Spendi a friendly poke in the ribs. He seems to have a funny, quite defensive, attitude towards women.

@spikepipsqueak,

Women are of such a complicated nature that defence is the only strategy to follow. Going on the attack usually leads to defeat and humiliation.

@spendius,

Humiliation is the abasement of pride, which creates mortification or leads to a state of being humbled or reduced to lowliness or submission. Spendi I do not think our good friend spikepipsqueak has this in mind!

@Dutchy,

Mind what you say, Dutchy, you seem to understand. According to Spendi that can only lead to badness.

@spikepipsqueak,

Badness is relative. Goodness is unmistakable.

Unmistakable evidence shows the world is getting warmer. Australia being one of the worst affected places.
