Ps UYK. I also boycott all the big Oil stations here. If we all done this around the globe, they would have no choice but to haul down the prices.
They have massive tanker ships loaded with oil outside all the bays around the world. Waiting for the prices to go up and up.
How do i know this ? Inside information. Greedy Gits.

Hi Daddycool,

I to have tackle? In my fishingbox. I also have the best toolbox around these parts.
Your right,  so much of my stuff  dissapeared over the years just by loaning out.
I may put out some calls just to see what comes back. lol people genuinely do remember who owns the equipment, they just cant be bothered to return it.
Its not done i feel in a bad way. Your things just aint important to others i guess.

Remember this old tune Daddy?

Lovely Story.

Dont you just love the " Buddy System".  Im sure  this must still apply in the army still.
In everyday civvies now it seems its all about "Me Feiners". How life has changed.

I remember this joke from childhood.

Hitler sent one of his messengers to look for "Paddy Murphy " for undercover work.
His code was " Theres a red cow in the green field.
Messenger arrives in Ballygobackwards.
The First Man he meets He explains he is looking for Paddy Murphy!
Well says your man, theres "Paddy Murphy the post man, Paddy Murphy the barman
and im also Paddy Murphy!

Messenger replies. "Theres a red cow in the green field"!
Ah, thats Paddy Murphy the spy your looking for! lol

Being the eldest girl of a 8 brothers and 2 sisters. There aint nothing i dont know about kids. I love the challenge of them. Get right down on your hunkers and look them straight in the eye.. Talk to them and there putty in your hands. lol
No mystery at all to kids. Undivided attention is what its all about. oh! and guidence. if your happy with them then there happy.

Futons/ laundry room! a doddle Zurf.  {Den? The only den i ever knew was "The Scouts Den" that was part of my life as a kid.  My brothers were all in the scouting movement,  My sis Ella and i were cub mistresses,
so it beats sharing a massive Green army tent with all my family.[ Which was a gift from a Aunt in England}
Fishing for mackeral. gutting and cooking 53 in all one day with my Dad. All Cooked on 2 wee primus stoves. I can smell the aroma to this day.
Happy times Zurf. Not a lot of money in those days, but such happy sunshine days.

Your den /laundry room/ sounds like  " Trump Towers" In comparison  lol.

Love to you and yours from the Emerald.

My lovely neighbour has a beautiful cat.  She { the cat } brings all kinds of gifts ?
One's i can do without. The other day while my neighbour was at work, she { the cat } decided to present me with a baby starling ! I retrieved it from her mouth,
the wee bird did manage to fly, but i spent the rest of the day worrying, did it survive??.
Roger Guppy our admin here has great stories about his cats and what they get up to. I just cannot handle this side of nature.  Ah, give me dogs anyday. They just want to chew up the postman  lol and glorified  litter louts who fill up my mail box.

Hi Kapa54,
I have been many times in places like this. I love to flyfish so over the years i have sat by many lakes and watched nature doing its thing. Nothing better  to compare to it.
Not having a flushing loo never did bother me either. There are  other  ways to deal with this!!

Good song again.

What a great insight into the feelings of those left behind from this act.
I also know some people who have been through this madness.
They are left always looking for the reason  as to why ?.
Very well written Sir.

Just laughed my head off reading that post James McCormick.

Artfully Splattered LOL.  One of my busiest work times is christmas.
Christmas week 06  I had everything in order in my house. Lady the jack russell
loves being washed and pampered. Hops back into her bed delighted with life.
I guess its her age!
Ben my beautiful  black hairy hound doesnt like it at all. He disappeared from the house. 20 minutes later he arrived back smelling like a dung house. He had rolled   Himself all over in horse / cow shi# in a field near. I thought the quickiest way to deal with this was wash him in the shower as i had visitors arriving.
Popped him in  the shower stall and hit the on switch.
i never did look at the settings. Well the water was to hot and he bolted from the shower stall and the shock of to hot water.
He stood in the middle of the bathroom and shook his long coat vigoursly.
I nearly passed out as i watched newly decorated soft cream walls being splattered with  greeny  watery dropletts. Hundreds of them. I remember sitting on the floor of my bathroom wondering will i let myself have the nervous breakdown i felt rapidly coming on, while my beautiful mutt was looking at me totally perplexed.
He { Ben was taken to the yard and hosed down, while i told my guests on arrival
" If after using the bathroom they wanted to hear a shitt# story just ask ! lol

Hi Arkady,
What a sweet  Mellow song this is.  Your voice suits the lyrics.
I did listen and enjoyed " Where did it all go?
I only asked this question today ? Where did it all go?
Both my parents died on the 3rd of June. My Dad is buried in france. My Mam
on a mountain near my home here. 37 years Dad   / 21 years Mam passed. It sure is a long time without physically seeing or hugging them.
Where did it all go Indeed.

Thank You Ark.
