I THINK I'M ABOUT TO RENEW SOMETHING! - Most annoying.

Nah, it was a ghost.

Speaking of ghosts...COLORBOOK!!! You're BACK!!!!!!!!! (happy dance)

This is an example of our pride and joy. It is a Boler travel trailer and ours will be 30 years old in 2007. Two halves of fiberglass belted together in the middle, it is a breeze to tow, great on gas mileage, and has so far proven rodent-proof. They were last made in the 1980's so are highly sought after now and definitely retain their value. We could sell at a considerable profit and buy new, but why?

we usedto have a trailer like that. It was called a Trillium, and we could tow it with a car.

They're kissing cousins farmerman. We tow ours with a 3.something litre engine, even up hills. (I'm curious; how many people did you fit inside? Did anybody actually try to sleep in the bunks?)

Knowing FM, he used it to take his livestock to market.

Trillium? Weren't they those little furry things that kept breeding all over the place, eventually taking over the entire USS Enterprise?

I remember that even Spock got annoyed to the extent that he raised an eyebrow.

"The Market Day of the Trilliums" yeah, I think I caught that episode.

Okay, I'll rephrase the question:

Farmerman, how many sheep could you fit in your trailer? (And did they like the mini bunks?)

Hah! I had a Sony TV for about 5 years when I gave it to a friend when
she moved into her first apartment, and she still has it. So that sucker
is close to 30 years by now. Can't kill it!!

I am with Prince - my cars are usually replaced every 3 years,
I have a fairly new (gorgeous) refrigerator, my flatscreen is 3 years old,
so the only thing that's around 10 years old, is my German Miele washing machine/dryer.

Oh yes, my lover is a keeper - so no exchange there!

My clothes washer and dryer have been going strong for 20 years as has my stand alone freezer. Quick, I need to find some wood to knock on.....

Tai chi. We could sleep 4 very comfy. 2 bunks and a bed that was momma and daddy(us). It was ok for just 2 but got a might snug with 2 kids. We then traded the Trillium for a 30 ft AWARD (another Canadian made baby that looked like the space shuttle) It had some neat and some very dumb features . The only problem with the Award was that it couldnt get smacked hard. A tree fell on ours and smashed it almost in half. We then got a Holiday Rambler and by then we were hooked on RVing.
I still miss the little Trillium cause we honeymooned in it all through Southeast Canada. Towed it with a 76 Chevy Suburban. So we hadda be careful , the Chevy was actually too much for it. Ours didnt have electric brakes so if Ize doin like 75 or more and I hadda quick stop, the Trillium would almost ride up onto the back of the Chevy

LE , youre thinking of "The trouble with Tribbles". the little fuzzballs that cooed and were soothing to pet and were quite fecund. Feed them quattro triticale and they triple their population in an afternoon.
Did I just repeat a Star Trek episode?. I was such a nerdy kid.

No, no fermented dew.



When my father moved into supported accommodation in 1990, I gave the old family fridge to a friend.


When we moved it, a top forty chart for 1966 was stuck in the heat diffuser at the back...so it was a minimum of 24 years old then.


As far as I know, it is still being used by the friend's children....if so, it is now at least 40 years old.

I still have my old Montblanc pen, the one I got as a present for myself once I got a real job (1965). I had trouble with it a couple of times, can't remember why, sent it back to the company as I think they advertised something about that, and they fixed it for $6.00. A few years ago I was using it again - I varied on ink pen enthusiasm over the years - and had it in my purse. I went to a lecture with a friend for the Native Plant Society. Don't remember the subject, just remember that the seats were rock hard and I had a lower back problem that week. To alleviate the problem a tad, I sat on my purse. When I got home, I had an inky purse and a pen in a dozen pieces. I'm still thinking of sending it back to the factory, as they're only the plastic bits broken.... though by now it would be more than a $6.00 charge.

In today's The Guardian online and pages 52 & 53

Lord Ellpus' main TV

Oh, Reyn!

Don't do that!

You just about gave me a heart attack. I thought Lord Ellpus was back.

hehe, I'm such a mischief maker, aren't I?

Where is Lord E??

sadly missed. I got a bit excited when I saw his name - but then looked at the date

Some things are timeless.

his "lordship" no doubt has a butler who has to do some posting for him .

lord E to his butler : "time for some exercises ! do 20 kneebends for me , james ! " .
