The Neverending "Conversation About Everything" Chain

@Dutchy,

Places where this is less obvious are round the coast. People in the interior are doing it tough.

@Dutchy,

Tough love is an expression used when someone treats another person harshly or sternly with the intent to help them in the long run. In most uses, there must be some actual love or feeling of affection behind the harsh or stern treatment to be defined as tough love.

Love. Can't find it at the market, can't grow it from seed.

Seed Hunter is a highly entertaining documentary about a topic that is vital for the future of the planet. Finding seeds that may help save the world from its greatest ever crisis - a global food shortage brought about by human-induced climate change.

"Change!!" shouted the stage manager, urgently, down the narrow corridor down which the can-can girls ran to where I had their costumes ready for the next dance. It was very stressful getting six of them, and all in the prime of life and giddy with the acclamations they have received, and still were receiving as well as feet stamping, , out of the national costume of Albania and into the Viennese polka kit in two minutes flat.

@spendius,

"Flat" would describe you as the stage manager during the polka section of this operation. I suspect you would be elated during the Albanian phase.

Phase one of my healthier eating regime: limit crisps. I haven't had any in over a week- that's down from a pack a day.

Day in, day out, all I ever used to do was working. Now in retirement I'm glad I did.

Did you know the world's largest second-hand book shop can be found in a small village called Hay-on-Wye which lies on the border of England and Wales in the county of Herefordshire? I visited it three weeks ago and regret not buying one of the books on photography I saw there; maybe I'll have to go back.

Back to nature gives one a sense of freedom. I feel, seeing the sights, listening to the sounds, breathing the fresh air brings back a sense of normality.

@Dutchy,

Normality is a relative concept. Reverting to nature is just as easily achieved in the costume changing rooms at the Folies Bergere as it is in the outback with one's SUV, rifle, mobile phone and cans of baked beans.

Beans are legumes, which are defined as a vegetable in the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating. Heinz is the biggest producer of this delicious little vegetable.

Vegetable vampires. You have to drive a steak through their hearts.

Hearts are beating when I read your post. A blood thirsty woman if I ever saw one.

One of the advantages of communicating over a distance, you can make throwaway remarks with no real consequences Very Happy

. I still maintain the idea of a vegetable vampire is pretty funny.

Funny people are everywhere and people of all ages and cultures respond to humour. The majority of people are able to experience humour, i.e., to be amused, to laugh or smile at something funny, and thus they are considered to have a sense of humour.

Humour can be found almost anywhere. My daughter and I were laughing at some of the multiple choice answer offerings in the driver's manual.

"Required reading" was a list of crap our teachers insisted we read to divert us from reading the good stuff. They taught Shakespeare, being so serious and all, so badly that they effectively rendered most of us immune to the world's best ever comic.

@spendius,

Comic Bob Hope became the most recognised profile and talent in the world whilst alive. In the entire history of show business, no individual travelled further to entertain so many.
