40 is only 104 Farenheit.

I lived over a month at 127 once.

It is a bit obtuse not to suggest the "niche market" to out of work ladies when it is so lucrative, provides job satisfaction and requires little in the way of qualifications or effort. And they can be their own boss. Coming and going at their own convenience.

It's better than being a pheasant plucker I should think.

Vielen Dank, Herr H.

But who measures the wind speed in British Feet? I don't believe that forecast. It will be windier. Don't forget, Holland is flat.



Imagine, they use the Beaufort scale in Holland.

That's fabby-dabby-Dutch.

Hey everyone

All OK in my neck of the woods on Dartmoor so far. Coast has had a battering and lots of power lines are lines. High tides about to hit.

Hope everyone up country is OK. Take care everyone. Smile

(Hi Smorgs - good to see you girl. How're ya doing? Smile )

Izzie, i'm fine, you okay?

----------------------------------------------------

The jobcentre DOES carry jobs for escorts...

Of course they don't cum under prozzies in the jobs A - Z, they are under 'entertainment'. We also had a job for a 'Crusher', I was thinking of applying for that myself, but I wasn't weighty enough - need to eat more chips and gravy.

thats funny because as I kid I was called sturmey, because....and you must not let this go ANY further, my surname is archer.

or three speed, i.e slow dead slow and stop (they were cruel, but I was never actually bullied)

later as we became aware of certain hormones...Spurmey

but I'm relaxed about all that NOW.

just

Cycling shoes my dear smorgs go with the cycling shorts and cycling trousers and cycling jacket and 4 pairs of cycling socks and cycling shirt with wick moisture dispersion which I bought from Lidls today for the sum total....and you wont believe this

of £37 Smile

Actually Lidls wont believe it either because they undercharged me on the jacket

They go with a number of other things as well but I won't mention any of them because I don't mind anybody presenting themselves in the best possible light.

I'm not risking clicking on it unless it's Clary.

Is it Clary?

That post is very interesting to me for the following reasons:

1. Mmmm - cycling shorts, you have to have confidence (and a spare sock) to wear those...

2. Sturmey Archer - I remember that name from MY bike (when I was kinder). I wasn't even sure if they were still going (are they?), or that anyone would know what I was talking about.

3. Moisture wick thingy - is that why cyclists have funny sweat patterns, when viewed from behind?

4. Archer - Ahhh, the last peice in the jigsaw! I now have enough information for my next stalking adventure. So, next time your out riding, if you see a pink-chubby running behind you (with a fag), shouting things in a Northern accent - it's me!

5. I love it when you get undercharged, or freebies in a shop. Gives me a frisson of pleasure, like when I used to be a shoplifter.

6. I was only joking about the shoplifting thing - I'm a paragon of virtue - y'all know THAT.

I'm now off to the dentist.

This moisture wicking thing is very interesting because as you know I'm quite cynical and I went into a climbing and outdoor shop to buy a big woolly sweater you know these Norwegian-knit things and they said oh no we don't sell woolly jumpers any more sir the very thought what you need is one of these here fleeces with its matching undergarment you'll never shiver on a hill again.
Well like I say I took a bit of persuading but it was Hobson's choice in the outdoor shop anyway like it or lump it so cutting a long story short did you notice I was doing that I bought the fleece with the wicky vest and you know the rest modern technology triumphed so much so in fact I can't wear them with any degree of comfort at altitudes below 5000 feet no I'm joking.

Surely that must have occurred to the manufacturers of sports bras......?

Otherwise, wear the bra (loose-fitting would be best) on top of your wicky vest, but I don't recommend it as a look....

Karl Lagerfeld, you can have that idea for nothing.

Oh sorry, forgot the dots.......

I was going to mention this earlier but I find it ludicrous that teenage school pupils are going to be required to swear allegiance to the queen.

And if they refuse?

And what about schools showing some loyalty to the thousands of pupils who go missing each year, often kidnapped and raped?

It is absolutely outrageous that thousands of muslim girls disappear from school registers every year AND NOTHING IS DONE BECAUSE ITS PART OF "MUSLIM CULTURE". Screw muslim culture. Smile
