Very fair. It is a shame that there is not much gentlemens left isn't it?

Ah, gentlemen! One does not often hear that particular reference nowadays Little Imp.


What would be your or any other ladies interpretation of a 'perfect gentleman be?'

There are probably as many definitions as there are women, wouldn't you think?

Obviously, I heard Mike Tyson described as a gentleman once, would you concur with that?

I'm knackered tonight Mame to be perfectly honest, I have been helping a mate of mine who had an accident and broke his leg. Built a ramp, emptied two ton of soil from a giant 100 year old corroded ornamental hayrick, cut the steel up. At 5.30 his wife asked me if I could paint the wall as over the years the painting had been done around the rick. I told her I'd do it tomorrow. Women!

You alright love?

I'm tired, too. Got a promotion which means more work and hours; I'm a tad tired from not sleeping well. However, I'm still my ebullient self, so tell me how you are, M... missed you lately.

I have been very busy Mame, always is this time of year. I have a great deal to do before the end of October, then I have to take all my plant and commercial stuff into my garage, strip down pressure clean, service, grease and oil up for next spring etc. The waterfall section on my pond developed a bad leak, I think I have found the source, so that is switched off at present whilst I dig out, mix a batch of sand and cement and fix the problem. It is rather erratic and took some finding, the leak appeared intermittent, actually with trial and error and noting conditions I found the leak was only apparent when the wind blew from the east. It was blowing the main cascade back into a recess which has a fault on it, the power from the cascade has worn away some banking allowing the water to escape. Should be ok when I have finished. My wife wanted all of her nesting boxes taking down, cleaning and painting, thats done, plus she bought a couple extra, as she does every year, it's like a bloody aviary at times, I keep expecting Alfred Hitchcock to turn up and make another film. My dog has a large brick kennel, I have pressure washed that and painted the walls and door, the floor is tiled. There are a couple of young trees I need to move next month, then a massive box of bulbs came yesterday, about 1,250 assorted daffs, rose tulips, crocus and hyacinths I will have to plant those before the end of October. All good fun isn't it! Done a couple of jobs for a mate of mine who broke his leg recently as well. I sold my trailer and pick up earlier this year, but I really find I will have to buy another pick up. There is always something big to collect and I will not use my car for that sort of work, so I have done the odd borrow of a pal of mine. There is a great deal of back cutting and pruning to be done. Anyhow it keeps me active, I enjoy it. I have also been working on some empty property I have bought to re-sell so all in all its good.

Catch you later, going to Bolton right now.

God, don't you hate it when that happens??

You sure sound busy! And productive, and like you're loving it.

What's for dinner tonight, do you know?

The pub does meals old boy. Apart from breakfast and that's dead easy. Wives are not for cooking anymore are they?

Comes in handy Spendi old lad, they're dependable and like to give you their best. Your eating in the pub and the cook might not like you! I have seen what cooks, chefs, waiters and kitchen staff do when they want to have amusement with someone they don't like.



Did you see the two judges in the mail today. Old Bailey, one male one female, been shacking up. Then he's imported one of those fancy maids I was on about, she's ended up cavorting in god knows who's bed and has been blackmailing the daft saps! You can never trust a woman Spendi, but you'll be well aware of that, won't you bud?

Wow, I'm absolutely amazed that this thread has gone so far, especially seeing as I left the forum a bit after it was formed. Embarrassed
Wonder when it stopped being a questions thread though :wink:

Obviously when you left.

How could a thread possibly continue without the benefit of your words of wisdom?

I am not a scientist; I had to give up bilge in favour of Latin at 12 so never got into science, although I had a crush on the chemistry teacher and got a good O level in that; I used to think I was a scientist about language but I couldn't understand a word of my nephew's phonology essay.

Don't you find literary types tiresome when you get right down to it?
