Yeah Don't dare pull it
I haven't got the shoes you promised me yet ;-) ;-)

Don't pull this thread, Eldrick, it's good entertainment. :-D

Eldrick :-D :-D :-D :-D

Too true, Dermot.

There's a lot to be said about that theory, Nyx!

'Do you know the different between sex and a chicken leg?

'No'

'Fancy coming to a barbeque tonight?'

Many people in the UK are more involved in attempting to survive in a country where economic betrayal is the new norm. Ask Mrs May.

Too many residents are still just getting by from day to day, and from election to snap-election. Existing, rather than living.

Asteroids have now been added to the growing list of survival worries.

Ah, but Rose, we can pass on our skills, and look after the children while the younger ones go out hunting & gathering :-D

That invitation did not extend to Rollo, by the way. I can't compete with his superior intellect.

This old soldier did survival training. Anyone want to join me on a desert island?

Here's a thought, D H Lawrence, though a tenuous link in some respects (strange how my mind works lol).

Given that the average age on here is I would think about 60 odd, is it realistic to suppose any of us would survive longer than a month or so, however good our survival skills may or may not be?

Isn't it much more likely that those young men of limited conscience and superior strength who survive will dispose of the old codgers, and those young women who survive will attach themselves to the said manly young 'Mellors', who can satisfy all their daily survival needs...sex and rabbit stew?

Now now children.

So you're not wiling to guess where we had minimal facilities, just, yet again go on about material possessions you have acquired?

Oh - by the way - its not often you're right - but you're wrong again - I WAS born in the South of England - but not in Hampshire.
I lived there for all of a year before we moved.
.

Poor response. I thought you would be able to do better than that. :)

Still, I admire your courage in confessing to taking DH Lawrence into the woods. Not many would lay their soul so bare in public, so respect for that.

Roll up roll up
Last day to insult Rollo before Eldrick kills the thread as he claims his subs run out today. We'll see.
;-)
I was once in prison in Baghdad. The shurta are a lot more scary than GR. Larfs.

At the time in Hamble my funds only stretched as far as a Mirror dinghy which does not really cut it at the Royal Southern lol. The Bugle is an excellent pub my father was very fond of it.

My tears were of the crocodile variety as you prob have guessed.

I have something in common with Maggie. I was not born in Hampshire or the south of England.

Pathos? For yourself? No, don't put yourself down too far Rollo, your feet may touch the ground.

Alleviate the alleged chip on my shoulder and show your wisdom.

I wouldn't say you were an inverted snob, quite the opposite.

I was a mere schoolgirl in the 1960's - certainly not a snob - bit difficult when you live in a caravan with your parents

When I read yr posts the word pathos often floated into my mind but it didn't quite fit. Now by consulting Roget I realise that I was thinking pathetic outsize asteroid on the shoulder.

Back in the 60s a certain sort of person was sometimes accused of inverted snobbery. I am sure I don't need to explain it.

Hampshire C.C. seems to be getting by bereft of your vast wisdom and experience. How can that be?

Rolo,
Oh, so you think I've only lived in Hampshire do you?
Thanks for letting me know!!!
clue: I wasn't born in Hampshire - so that's 2 places I've lived.

Without knowing anything - yet another post of derision.

How did the charm school go - did you get the badge? Or were you thrown out for developing an 'interesting' knife-throwing act, or not kicking the tramp hard enough?

Where, in Hampshire would they have places without electricity/gas, and where you could have peat for your fire if you dug it!!

Here's some news for you - shock!! horror!!
You're not the only person to have lived in different places - even 'wimmin' move around.

Here's a question for you, if we could have free peat for our fire - if we dug it, where were we (possibly) living?

Edit: I was going to give you a clue, but with your alleged ancestry, I'm sure you've spent a week or two here, soaking up the ancient traditions from the luxury of the (what was) Excelsior Hotel

Sorry were you crying for a week because of the beer giving you an iffy tummy or THE book or being thrown out and having to tell Nanny what happened?

My case is rested. I will refrain from pointing out the obvious - I don't think I need to.

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

OMG you were a snotty yachty from Hamble why am I not surprised.
