Oh dear :-(

I'll be there with my bland of brothers,*says he stoically*

We few, we happy(?) few....it's not St Crispin's Day is it? :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I had to look St Crispin up!

I knew who he/they are, but I had to Google the date :-D :-D

How ironic if I had penned the post on the correct date :-D

Alas, it was to be, or not to be...

Don't get me started on that again ;-) :-D :-D :-D

It's a far far better thing Allan.....

She stood on the bridge at midnight,
Her lips were all a quiver.
She gave a cough,
Her leg fell off and floated down the river.

Not sure why that suddenly came to mind....... :-S

Mind boggles :-D

A singing Nun called Anna
Was caught in a flood in Havana.
As she floated away,
The other Nuns, so they say,
Accompanied her on the piana

:-D :-D :-D

Oh dear!

It is now 08.45 local time and the heavens have opened. I pity the poor guys on the first shift

Did the weather improve for your shift though Allan?

Maggie....keep them coming :-D

Its the way you tell um .No matter how far the fishes swim they never seem to sweat ;-) :-D :-D

:-D

:-D :-D :-D@Barbra ;-)

Caroline, the weather has been appalling all day. Went back to do an afternoon shift and left with 24 buns and a pack of sausages, which I paid for, to help defray the costs :-(

Will find out soon what we made or lost on the day:-(

It has been a long day, but win or lose, the day has been worth it :-D

A Tale of Two Cities? ;-)

Who knows Allan I used to fall asleep during English Lit classes....best sleep all week :-D :-D

Maybe you should be reading the Bible to get hints on building an Ark if it's raining heavy??

Or get your budgie smugglers ready ;-)

:-D :-D

Kathryn, how very strange! You must be psychic; I was just reading the following article about the Aussie accent in which the names used for swimwear in various Oz states occurred

Whilst Budgie Smugglers don't appear (in the literary sense, not the physical sense) nevertheless the term is more than closely associated with our ex-prime Minister Tony Abbot who, like Mr Putin, is somewhat of an action man :-D :-D

Caroline, what an experience you have missed, not to be bored by some of the greatest writers ever :-0 ;-)

As for an Ark, aren't we already living on Planet Ark?

Incidentally, if I ever return to the UK I would, no doubt, be accused of speaking with a thick Aussie accent, whereas here I'm accused of speaking with a broad Lancastrian accent :-S

Isn't life funny :-D :-D :-D

There is nowt wrong with a Lancashire accent if you came back to England though you would not recognize your old haunts x right my last post I wish you all the best Take Care .I will miss you ;-) <3 :-D Barbara xx

Don't worry Allan I revisited the greats...and found my English Lit teacher was hopeless as most of the stuff he presented to us was in fact quite good :-D :-D
