I have a drawer filled with longjohns and am wearing a pair now.
Have you ever been to Knive's Farm?
I have never heard of Knive's Farm.
Do they breed longjohns there?
My grandmother had a photo of something called Knive's Farm from a trip to England...I know nothing else of it.
Have you ever wondered why the sky is so dark at night?
No.It would be just as daft as wondering why it was light during the day.
Wouldn't you be more inclined to wonder if it was not dark at night?
I never really gave that particular much thought.
Why does winter have to be so windy?
I don't think it has to be.It just happens to be so.
May I retire now to the pub?
I would say you could retire just about anywhere you would like to, just play safe and friendly.
Am I the only person left who loves bowling?
Loves? ... maybe. I LIKE bowling, but I wouldn't say I love it. I wonder, do the blokes in Enlgand bowl or do they have a similar recreation to bowling?
Oh! devie's back.Where have you been my thigh booted one/Where have you been my darling young nun? I missed you.
One of my pals bowls.He has these big,heavy and highly polished bowling balls which he carries around in a leather bag.They put lead weights in them to give them what is called "bias".Women play too but most of them are looking for a sugar baby.
Isn't ten pin bowling about letting chaps look good in a specially designed setting?
Well, my dear Spendi-, I've had wicked electrical trouble which "blew up" my 'good' computer! When this tempermental monster lets me online - the cantankerous brute! - I get to come here. I've been so busy with holiday things and I just spent a week babysitting my 3-yr-old nephew and 1 1/2 yr-old niece, which apparently makes my relatives think I should be up for sainthood!
As far as bowling is concerned, it's just about having fun, unless your single and/or looking I suppose!
So what's up across the pond?! I hear you all aren't as "Christmas-y" as we "Yanks." Heard an Englishman complaining the other day about all the Christmas trees and how big they are and that they're 'everywhere'! Having not visited my fair country would you say this is so?
(Oh, and BTW is "Narnia" - the C.S. Lewis movie as big there as it is here? I'm a big fan of his writing>)
I'm afraid I don't know much about comparative Christmassing.It's a giant bore to me but I enjoy the long lounging.They trimmed the pub up on Dec 1 but I'm not sure it's had any effect.
The only thing I know about Narnia is that I heard it was sparking a Christian/anti-Christian row over there.I don't know anybody who goes to the cinema.
I think you are probably talking about 10 pin stuff which is considered here to be for equipment fetishists and destruction fanatics.We've tried it but it hasn't caught on.
Crown green bowling is the thing here.It's very popular with the oldies.Very genteel but quite competitive.It closes down in winter.The poshest places have very expensive dress codes.
Do you like being busy?
Only the dead bowl, as far as this guy is concerned.
Maybe, just maybe, they are all dead in Yorkshire.
Are you carrying a lap top to the pub Spendi, you seem to be living in the confines of A2K, construction industry must be slack in your little quarter of hades, eh?
Mathos-
Anybody who has ever seen a photograph of Einstein's cat knows that questions should be asked which anyone can answer.When you address a question to a specific threader,as you have just done,it inhibits others and if the person you addressed the question to happened to become indisposed the thread would cease it's cyber life and we don't want that.
Do we?
Just answer the question Spendi!
Your prattling on like an old washer-woman or a fish market slag.
Do you have problems with giving a response to a simple question?
Not really.What I have a problem with is people who think that there are simple questions at all.
"Could you tell me the time" for instance looks simple when thought of at a superficial level but it has confused the best brains when gone into deeply over the port.
Do you like port?
Oh yes. Port Arthur Texas is a lovely place...come to think of it I have never really been there. I honestly don't know if I ever drank port and these days I don't drink the alcohol at all.
Have you ever wondered what would happen if electricity and gas all ceased existing tomorrow?
I wouldn't be able to post here if that happened...
wait...are you suggesting something.....iv'e print-screened.....just incase you're a terrorist.....joks
I don't have any use for terrorists or terrorism. I just wonder sometimes how the world would be going if technology wasn't what it is today.
Do you think man could survive again if the current trappings were trimmed away and the surroundings were more medieval?
I think a big percentage of the population would wipe themselves and each other out in a mad scramble to grab what they could and that there would be a core of hopefully smarter people who would work together, organise strategies and defences against 'the others' and would manage to survive.
Do you think perhaps this is the kind of second chance we need - to try again?
No-I think we need 3% growth year on year unto the uttermost limits of time.
Don't you think dogs are simply awful?
