RE: All Up in Smoke.

Tried dagga politely a couple of times and never took to it so I never saw it as a big deal. However when they legalized marijuana in UK the theory was that the police could concentrate on the pushers trying to get kids onto it, instead of constantly being distracted by smokers all round.

Does this include the oil? I know at least one person who finds the stuff miraculous as a suppressant of chronic pain

RE: Rugby

See, Wen? Friendly discussion

RE: Rugby

Darling Molly, so do I. Springboks and All Blacks are aces

RE: Rugby

Wen, trust me

Molly, well, DUH, they HAVE done. Hence the jokers in the pack!

RE: on the topic of youtube

This was the only thing I really regretted scratching off my wishlist - standup. I finally had to face I simply didn't have the courage.

You go girl!

They invited you back any time, so?

RE: This place gets more like Youtube everyday

Vlogs are different

My my Hart

RE: JUST A SIMPLE QUESTION ?

Molly, if she arrived yesterday she will thank you. Monsoons. I put a sorrowful comment on my own blog last night and got zero sympathy so shall not complain further.

To be fair getting off pretty lightly compared to those battling with Florence.

RE: JUST A SIMPLE QUESTION ?

Sometimes, on the political blogs, it is to let some raving lunatic spew out an opinion you know in your heart of hearts is pure bonkers and yet - you do agree with bits of it - let him (or her) say it and that way they take the flak

RE: Rugby

A combination of accents is it, to be sure?

You do remember we have 11 official languages, ja?

I never ever understood how anyone could confuse the SA accent with a NZ or Oz one - until, a few years after moving to the UK, I did it myself

In fact I can be fairly sure if someone sounds as if they have no accent whatsoever, they are a Saffer. Alla the rest of youze hev them.

RE: JUST A SIMPLE QUESTION ?

Always been a lot of videos though

There are some blogs that are just videos in comment after comment

RE: NAFTA

Lou - it's odd how US vs Canada, UK vs EU, similar conflicts and uncertainties, are all happening at the same time. I take it in your case it is happening after the midterms?

I'm quite sure those pulling the strings of the leaders of countries know exactly what the outcomes are going to be, mind.

RE: Happy Birthday, BritishColumbian aka Jenny

Happy birthday BC hope you have lovely plans for the day

RE: THE WOODEN TOILET SEAT

John as someone who until a year ago was in Scotland and somehow found the money every few years for a mahogany loo seat, I am 100% with the dear old lady

Meanwhile here in Spain

I am running out of dry towels to blockade the door ways

Meanwhile here in Spain

By the way if anyone cares I am up past my ankles in storm water so if I vanish in a burst of sparks or with a final despairing glub glub, you'll know why.

Hasn't got into the living area yet but hoo boy you should see the outside bits.

Meanwhile here in Spain

John, ta and hello! There's a nice little trend towards photo blogs, hope you too will push it along

Mimi, can you usually see Tokyo's and Imp's? We use the same imgur site. So you found, as did I, that's Molly's recommendations carry a fair amount of travelling at a 45 degree angle, hmmmm, there's a pattern developing here ...

Z, the tourist authorities and the locals at war, it's Cornwall all over again. Large sign on the border, welcome grockles, please leave your money in this bucket and go home, thank you.

Molly I think more the strong euro, not a bargain holiday - NOW prices dropping all over the place, but for the most part too late.

Meanwhile here in Spain

Abagail, always the hope they will pick themselves up, look around and say hey, this is better than the other place

B, so not going to try it

Night all

Meanwhile here in Spain

B - posh, hmm - but the whole edible thing, does anyone eat slugs? yet people chomp up snails with relish. Or at least with garlic sauce.

Meanwhile here in Spain

Ooooh - so I'm gonna be slimed because of you - curses!

I did wonder if among all the many hundreds I have thrown over fences in the ritual exchange of snails in Scotland, there mightn't have been one that hid in my luggage

RE: The 3 Rs

And Luke I know that was tiny by comparison. Just sayin', the RRR defence is everywhere at every level

Meanwhile here in Spain

Viking, hon, I ain't getting debates

I'm mainly getting ignored.

I'm very good at being boring playing to my strengths here.

Meanwhile here in Spain

Lou, the bucket is forgotten believe me

I shall be super-rich by next year and will have the very fanciest mist money can buy. Or - faint possibility - I won't and will once again melt into a puddle for all of August

RE: The Games People Play

Get word to us somehow when you are arrested on a trumped-up charge and we will smuggle you a cake with a file in it.

Meanwhile here in Spain

Culchie? love it, another one for my collection

Meanwhile here in Spain

Maybe with a Canton or mountain accent? Because I tell you what, they say tranquile to me all the time. My builder said it when I tried to attack his subnormal assistant for nearly knocking down a wall, and the notary said it when I had a tantrum - sheesh, like saying 'calm down dear' EVER worked in any language!

I'm very sorry to hear it, I was delighted by the word I thought I heard

RE: Nice Witches

oh Harb you do go on

Don't stop

RE: Art imitates life, or life imitates art ?

This is an absolute win win situation

Sales boosted and accommodation needs covered for the rest of her life. Wonderful!

I need a husband, and I need one NOW.

Meanwhile here in Spain

Not commenting on my other giraffe blog because I'd said I was worried about Eks and there's a comment from her which should be left as the last one on view so that anyone reading it is instantly reassured!

Awesome photo, though.

Meanwhile here in Spain

LJ time for you to take more pictures - I find my own life very humdrum but am fascinated by the photo blogs of the lives of others

Meanwhile here in Spain

Guys, thanks, I just sprayed myself with my atomiser what I keeps in the fridge. Ever so cool and refreshed now.

Heat has gone out of the year for now, I will address the misting problem next June if that fella with the scythe spares me that long.

Right now I am boiling my brains trying to prioritize what needs to be done next on a budget of bread crumbs while working with a perfectionist who loftily demands only the best materials.
