Good morning CDR!

Good morning John... it's horrible when you end up running late like that.

Good morning Adam. We appear to have had Hallowe'en a couple of weeks early. I hope the ceiling isn't too disastrous!

Combination of bothers.
Bother them.
If I can be bothered.

From today's Times newspaper


And they report that an 18 year old has been fined £90 after conviction for antisocial behaviour - scaring primary school kids - hopefully there'll be a few more dished out and this will settle down.

As a friend who is older and has been there...less drinking is better.
Nothing good ever comes from drinking. And you are such an impressive young man.

Philosophy.
"Oh, Immanuel Cant,
Was a real pissant,
Who was very rarely stable,
Heidegger, Heidegger,
Was a boozy beggar,
Who could drink you under the table.
David Hume,
Could have consumed,
In any drinking stable
And Wittgenstein
was a beery swine,
Who was twice as sloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche
Couldn't teach ya,
Of the raising of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill
Of his own free will
On 14 pints of shandy was particularly ill,
Plato they say,
Could knock it away,
Half a crate of whisky every day,
Aristotle, Aristotle
Was a bugger for the bottle,
Bond was fond of a dram.
And René Descartes
Was a drunken fart,
I drink therefore I am.

Socrates himself is particularly missed.
A lovely little thinker
But a trouble when he's pissed.

I'm 51 now and I've always been able to lift things that most folks can't. It's kind of legendary in my circle of friends. But ive noticed in the last year or so that my stamina is going away.
The moment I lift anything heavy, my arms start to shake. I can't hold it very long. Now I lift differently and have injured my back.
It's rough the reality of getting older.
My mind is still about 27.
The rest of me is in steep decline.

51 also.
I managed to lift a huge carpet the other day and carry it for a neighbour.
Then it took me about three hours to stop shaking and get my breath back.

She's very wise....

Lots of similar looking fungi.
Could be one of a thousand species.
99% Harmless in small amounts.

Is anyone here interested in getting a tortoise into the calendar?
I don't think I'll do it this year.
I no longer own Bertha and my other tortoises are very average looking.

Tidgy has insisted on entering again.
She thinks she is Twiggy.

this is the voting advice from last year's contest:

"Post, as a reply to THIS THREAD, your top THREE picks. If you post 4 picks, I will choose which 3 you really wanted. You may NOT vote for the same photo 3 times. "

So the voting is the same, however each 'winner' getting a prize is new.

I remember adding them all up.
Repeatedly.
Yup, three votes each.

Oh, Elsa is plenty big: 7.5 inches long and about 7 years old. I don't brumate her for 3 reasons: 1) i don't know how,
2) I'm kind of afraid to because I know things can go wrong even in the best situations, so I honestly haven't tried to learn how to brumate her, and 3) I'd miss her.

Same reasons for Tidgy.
No brumation for her.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

well my boss has successfully 'urated' me off this week. i am no longer going above and beyond, and looking for another job.

Got any secretarial skills ?
I could do with a secretary or a builder and plasterer.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Boy.
The news just reported that Mathew killed 800 people in Haiti.

Tragedy.
For several days now my heart has been going out to the people of Haiti.

Glad JoesSis is Ok. As you say - much better to take on a post than a tractor!
Definitely the lesser of two evils!

wifey put a big weevil and a little weevil in my digestive biscuits.
I found the big one but must have eaten the other.
At least it was the lesser of two weevils.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I'm hoping to encounter some piccies in a mo as I carry on with my catch up.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Boy!!
Three members looking to give away their tortoises to good homes and each got hit by TROLLS with no posts, ever, looking to grab them.
One guy had three posts....All inquiring about free tortoises and all different species!
My fingers are getting sore from warning these well meaning members about trolls lurking here.
It's getting to be really bad.

Shouldn't be permitted.
The system is failing us.
