RE: Where is everyone?

Aahh.... good day to you Sir Phoenix!

Yup, you got that right ... LAGOONA and Jan!!!! Amazing memory you have!

You spoke to Rusty? Such a nice person he is. When we were there in May he drove us all over Gozo showing us places many tourists never get to see. He could be a real Official Guide to Gozo!

RE: Where is everyone?

Oh no, reading my post it doesnt make any sense!

But anyways..... you keep going back and forth like an idiot never leaving more cannibals than priests on one side. Keep taking them over and over ... and somehow it works out. Hahhaaaa..... Like one of the posters said ... its like the old game of A Cabbage, A goat, and a dog.

The goat will eat the cabbage if left alone,
The dog will eat the goat if left alone.

Take goat over.
Take cabbage over.
Bring goat back.
Take dog over.
Bring cabbage back.
Take goat over.
Bring dog back.
Take cabbage over.
Bring goat back.
Take dog over.
Take goat over.

And similar with them priests and cannibals..... hahahaaaaa

RE: Where is everyone?

Ok, I tried it. Got them all over to the other side without anyone being eaten! Took something like 86,000 points or seconds of something or other...?

You first take off 2 cannibals, put them on the other side.
Load one cannibal back on raft and take him over (so each priest has a cannibal with him - two on each side and two on raft).
Unload the priest and put the right side cannibal on raft and ship over the 2 cannibals.
So you have 3 cannibals on one side and 3 priests on the other side.
Now take back a cannibal and leave him on the other side with one priest, and take two priests back to left side (more priests than cannibals)
Take a cannibal back to R side, load another one on, and take them back.
Reload a cannibal, go back load up the last cannibal and take them both over. Hey presto!

RE: Where is everyone?

You thinking of Rusty Knight in Malta? (Gozo actually) and his lady in Malta? (I forget her name now) but I heard she died - very tragic as she was such a vibrant and happy person, and not old!

I saw Rusty when I was in Gozo in May - he`s still the same - and got a very lovely partner.

The teacher of English ....... Yes, I remember her, have actually seen that sometimes she pops in to CS now and again. Her name also evades me for now. I seem to remember she re-married her ex husband?

Anyway .... CS does seem awfully dull - for single people anyway! Not much action going on for a long time.
Like an old coffee shop where locals sometimes pop in!

RE: Where is everyone?

Hello Kid at heart! You still alive?! (obviously) hahahaa

Hows the snow up your way? Lots of snow here this winter - keeps me house-bound.

I will have to have a try at your "missionaries and cannibals". I think I should just give up that stupid Pumpkins game .. it never lets me get over about 60,000 - just wipes me out all the time!

You married yet? Or am I the only old-timer here who`s married?!

RE: Where is everyone?

Howzit Conrad

Very well, thank you.

Nice to see you "hovering" here as well.

Not much of interest to comment on here, but dear old Phoenix does seem to keep the pot boiling - in his strange Irish way

Like a typical Granny, I`m waiting to see if any of these youngsters here get hitched to each other, or even just get to meet up. Seems Europe is just too large for much travelling?

RE: Where is everyone?

I`m still alive.

I hover in the background (happily married and all that jazz stuff)

Haven`t exited CS simply because I can be found STILL trying to get a high score in this stupid Pumpkins game!

But I do keep an eye on you all from time to time.

RE: Daft pictures and funny stuff only....

Dear Phoenix.

I knew you`d find religion interesting!

Who says motor cars were only invented recently?

More than 2,000 years ago Moses was racing around in his sports car.......... "Moses came 4th in his Triumph" - it says so in the Bible!

RE: Make your own mind up...

Because, Darl, that is the impression I have of myself! Hahahaaa.

Except, hey! I can still buy my clothes at teenager boutiques .... AND fit into them!!

RE: Why does Matla....

Dear Phoenix.

You really SHOULD go for a holiday in Malta, and Gozo!

In Gozo (I don`t know about Malta) you buy a 7 day bus ticket for 7 Euro and you can hop-on hop-off buses all over Gozo, to anywhere, anytime you like - and while riding the name of the next town comes up on a sign over the driver, AND a voice SAYS it ... so you get to learn how to pronounce the names.

And the people there (on Malta and Gozo) are SO friendly and nice.

MALTA .... What`s the weather like there in May (generally)?

Now THAT`s a good name for your business!!!!!

May it prosper and bring you lots of happiness and wealth!

I only had 10 days in Gozo. Now I`m back in the land of Switzerland, where the sun shines on hardworking people.

I like Gozo - it`s small and one can mostly walk everywhere.

I just wish that folk there would come to realise that wild birds need to be free - not live in cages.

"A bird in a cage .....
puts God in a rage"

An old Wise Man of the North American Indians is quoted as saying:
"A people who don`t respect the animals of this earth,
can have no respect for one another".

Smoky says: "When people learn to respect the souls of wildlife, as being connected to their own souls, as everything in life is connected ......then they will prosper. Until they do this they will have nothing but trouble and a hard and difficult life".

RE: do you want to make love ?

Hi Phoenix .... yeah ... lovely old song hey?

I wish someone with a voice would remake it?

Maybe I suggest that to the Singing Chef, Garry Jones!

MALTA .... What`s the weather like there in May (generally)?

Grüetzi Conrad!

Yes, old Rusty Crusty! He took us on a ride to places seldom seen by lazy tourists ..... in his big fancy new car. Still the same nice person.

RE: do you want to make love ?

First time I heard the expression was this song ..... from 1957

RE: Smoky wedding song list....

Here`s the actual real musicians who will be playing for us ....

Both "Swiss boys" - from Schaffhausen.



(Darn .... my linking doesn`t seem to work?)

RE: Smoky wedding song list....

Here`s MY favourite song - quite fitting actually, since my German is still not too fluent, his English is virtually non-existent, and we still manage to communicate .... better than if we both spoke the exact same language!





(How does one post the utube link direct like you did Phoenix?)

RE: Smoky wedding song list....

Thanks for your wishes Immanuelle!

I`ll be thinking of all you guys here, on Friday, and request the Universe to send you all perfect partners to share your lives.

RE: Smoky wedding song list....

Yeah ... right on Conrad!

I just got to get my Swissgerman fluent now! Hahahaaaa

Just shows hey? ...... Where there`s Life, there`s Hope, even for old granny me!

RE: Smoky wedding song list....

Hi darling Phoenix Thank you for those lovely songs!

Oh .... and the Thread of songs! I like your taste in music.

RE: Smoky wedding song list....

Hi darling Phoenix Thank you for those lovely songs!

Oh .... and the Thread of songs! I like your taste in music.

RE: What you feel about being single again?

howzit guys ...... My being single was good, while it lasted.

But you know how life is when one is so incredibly attractive, intelligent, etc etc blah blah blah ....... my single days end on 2nd May this year - like on Friday!!!

Being my very last wedding I intend to have, it`s going to be a nice big Country & Western bash in a barn on a farm, live band, make as much noise as we like ....... and then next day fly to Malta for the first Honeymoon I`ve ever had. Lekker hey?

So Granny will be married. For the last time in this life.
But now I knew what sort of guy I do NOT need in my life, so have found the perfect one to settle for. Finally.

Keep the faith. Know what you want. And it will arrive.

Love you all

And thanks for your cyber friendship here

RE: which one looks like you dancing?

Check out this 80 year old lady dancing!

RE: which one looks like you dancing?

Ja, to have rythm and energy to dance when one is old must be fantastic!

MALTA .... What`s the weather like there in May (generally)?

Thank you Primrose.

Is the wind cold there?

Just a jacket for the wind ok to bring? Or should one pack jerseys too?

Light cotton clothing ok to wear?

Are the evenings cool?

MALTA .... What`s the weather like there in May (generally)?

Hey Maltesers ....... I`m coming to Malta in early May for a holiday - what sort of weather do you generally have there then?

In other words ...... what sort of clothes to pack!

Or ..... what sort to not pack?

I only travel with "cabin" luggage, so my space is limited to essentials - +- 10kg.

Much appreciate some advice here.

RE: which one looks like you dancing?

Oh yes .... that was ME!

RE: which one looks like you dancing?

Oopsy, my link doesnt work either!...?

here it is again



still the same - oh well.

But anyway, if you copy and paste that, you`ll see the most amazing dance style!

RE: which one looks like you dancing?

None of those. Here`s my style!

RE: can someone define the word LOVE for me,i never experience.

Well, you`ll have to consult the Bible for the answer to that one - somewhere in the first book of Corinthians, Chapter 13.

But the OPPOSITE of love is easier.....

Everyone seems to think it`s "hate" - but that is not true.

The opposite of love is "indifference".

When one feels absolutely nothing for the other person.

Love is an emotion, expressed.

Indifference is "no emotion" so it is not even expressed - it is totally ignoring the other person, with no feelings.

And thus spake Smoky.

How do you feel about being observed by your "new digital" tv?

George Orwel/Eric Blair ...... well, I learned something new here!

Thanks. Love his style of writing.
