Racing snail for sale

Molly, while Scottish Snail has a certain ring to it, I think the main problem is going to be the testing.

First recruiting interested males could be a slight problem, although CS could provide a few prepared to give it a bash.

Second, if snails have to be eaten, my stallion is definitely not on the menu. Even if this works, I'd save him for someone special. However, I do know where to find many of his clan.

Third, if it is a case of the snails dashing up and down the apparatus to be tested, he is fast, yes, but only comparatively. So many situations require seizing the moment, not saying 'hold that thought, hen, I'll just get my snail out. Want to make us a nice cuppa while he struts his stuff?'


Don't get me wrong, I do like your thinking. Definitely outside the box.

And it's sort of, well, snail coloured. Maybe the next generation will have tartan shells. Gulp.

Non, cross my heart here, I had no part in any modifications. You make me slightly nervous that there could be a snail laboratory outside, and this is the first of a supersnail generation. I do hope they realize the ones crushed by the door were never deliberate.

RE: Is Spelling Still Important?

Some call me Legs because I said on one blog that I answer to Legs or Biff. Others just mangle the name any way they want.

I was Lizzy Legs at school (because I was so tall) (and Dizzy Lizzy, for no reason I could ever fathom and a few other names I don't remember now. Ginger, definitely. It was a long time ago)

As the old saying goes, call me anything you like. Just don't me late for dinner. I mean it. I'm a terrible cook. If anyone else is cooking, I want to be there.

Nay, Hans, he be frae me ain garden. Dinnae rain on mah parade, lad! This is for sure the quickest snail in aw Scotland.

Besides, if you listen right closely, you can still hear him panting. That dash took it oot of him, right enough. Mah wee champion!

No rush. I've finished my coffee and have to get back to work anyway. Catch you later.

RE: I did it again

Nice to hear your voice. More people should post videos, hope this starts a trend.

I have gooseberries. Will be making Eve's Pudding with gooseberries today or tomorrow - steam the gooseberries, then put them in a bowl and top with Victoria sandwich cake mix, bake, turn out, eat with cream in a state of bliss. Yum.

RE: hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

When there is a mutual attraction and need, a relationship is born. For as long as the attraction and need exists, it will continue.

Why do people break it? Every relationship has a natural lifespan. We change all the time, and so do our needs and requirements. It can be weeks, it can be years, but when it has reached the end of the track, that's it.

Sometimes, when there are kids involved, or real affection on both sides, or comfortable habit, it will continue longer but it is just running on fumes.

RE: Nutella...

I like it.

But then I like marmite too. Rebel without a cause.

RE: Is Spelling Still Important?

Cat, the the layout was a major clue, haha.

Spelling, capital letters, and punctuation are entirely optional now. As long as men have mastered lol, they are fully edimacated and can rite 2 all the woman they pleaz. Lol.

Yikes! Your male Muslim colleagues must be steering well clear of you now!

There's something about genuine rage that actually works - no BS, just straight talking. But your story WASN'T mainly your own actions, just reacting to unfairness. Good for you!

ah well, blog's about to fall off the bottom of the page and I never did learn what makes someone go kaboom. No idea when that final straw will drift along in the wind, settle lightly on the haystack and RUMBLE SHAKE CRASH BANG

Maybe they don't know themselves. In both cases i know about, it was the person's own fault that the haystack existed in the first case, maybe that's part of it.

Cat's the only one who added a helpful story and is unlikely to see this (to say whether that WAS an element) before the blog flips over. Och, weel. Cannae be helped.


Thanks for the comments, all, especially the ones that made sense!

Minerva, getting high on singing? You go, girl!

Yay, DC, I would certainly have sussed you as mellow. Seems that flirting eases tension, eh?

RE: The Relationship Type

Ms Witch - since you ask so nicely - I forgive you.

Please become my promotions manager

RE: The Relationship Type

Ms Witch, I just nagged you to go back to A&E on your own blog and by the way, you were not the person I was referring to. You may well have commented on Sola's suitability (who hasn't, haha) (sorry Sola) but it was in fact Snoekums who told him he didn't and wouldn't ever rock her boat, so there.

He's slowly coming to terms with it.

Now go. Off to A&E with you!

Sola, that was poetic, profound and utterly incomprehensible. It would rewrite beautifully into a haiku.

Cat, I think magistrates do special courses in tongue-lashing. Been there, had that.

I've redheaded and hot-tempered so I go off like a firework all the time, that's why I can't understand slow burners. Since I tend to go for laidback relaxed types (opposites attract and all that) it is probably something I ought to know!

Love and Niayana, go play elsewhere, and take your clocolate, it's fattening!

RE: Your First Impressions

Do you think the scar running across my face, and the false eye, have anything to do with it? You can barely notice. All the guys insist they hadn't spotted either at all.

The extra head is actually a relationship bonus, especially for boring guys, because it never goes to sleep. It means I'm a great listener, 24/7.

I would love to know, though. For sure.

RE: Your First Impressions

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

I do know every single time I have met up with someone on a 'blind' date they have looked startled. Not delighted, not horrified, just frozen, for a second. Every time. Of course I ask why and of course they are gallant about it. BS! Something about me isn't what they expected.

One guy I had talked to on skype previously, so he KNEW what I looked like, and he STILL looked stunned. HE said it was because I was so much taller than he had expected (nearly 6 foot in heels, but I say so, repeatedly, no secret!) So, more BS.

I'd love to know why

Not actually expecting comments on this, although I would find them very interesting, but hey, can't play right now. See y'all later when I take a writing break

RE: The Relationship Type

Nia, I really can't tell you how chuffed I am to see you and Sola on line at the same time, usually you are like ships that pass in the night and it is such a promising flirtation, hehe


Sola, I seem to remember that the person who made that comment is - um - quite choosy in her requirements.

RE: THE SNEEZE...

Ha, we are the most contrary people! I like that story. Chances are, tell a bunch of students they had to be blessed and half would rebel. Tell them they can't, and ingenuity happens.

RE: The Relationship Type

One message at a time. She talks, he talks, repeat. At some point you will press the wrong buttons and the talk is over.

One in a hundred, in a thousand, all the right buttons!

RE: Visual Creatures

Crazy, your instinct is probably sound but he's the only man who lets us play with him, don't scare him off.

RE: Visual Creatures

Wil jy 'n appletjie skil met haar?

I probably spelled that wrong but I can't believe I even REMEMBERED it from school. It was the baked apples prompt.

RE: Visual Creatures

And Avias, look Franco Nero up now. He is the hottest gent in his age bracket ever ever ever. And married to the Redgrave bint. It.just.isn't.fair.

RE: Visual Creatures

Ladies, time to behave like gentlemen and stop tormenting the Cat, he's claimed the Geneva Convention.

Bea of course is in the ideal position to keep up the needling off camera but until some gents come in to help support our favourite kitty, Tannie Lisbet is calling time, and I've got age on my side. Play nice.
