Hey Jayb, that water is dangerous stuff isn't it. We sure can't live without it, but it can be difficult to live with too.

I was doing some washing the other day. The laundry can be little dark, if you don't open the door, or turn the light on. I did not notice that someone had taken the bucket, filled it with water & some soaking fluid, put HER sneakers in it, & put it in the tub the washing machine discharges its water into.

Yep you guessed it. It blocked off the drain, & soapy water went every where.

Of course that tub sits on a cupboard where all the boxes & bottles of cleaning gear is stored, along with shoe polish polishing & cleaning cloths & sundry other stuff. Hope your cleanup & dry out is quicker than mine was.

When I was 16-17 my two closest friends and I were all B division players on the dating scene because we didn't play footy...however, we hit upon the brilliant idea that while the other guys were busy playing "yobbo ball" on Saturday we'd go and watch the girls play Netball and be loud, enthusiastic barrackers for the young ladies we fancied and were trying to attract.
Result: Word must have got out about our antics and a group of footy players jumped us coming out of the pictures one Saturday night, if not for the intervention of the old Greek who owned the chip shop we might have copped a really serious hiding instead of the few lumps we ended up with.

OW!, ow, Ow!

Now she wants new carpets throughout the house.

Suddenly, I feel very sad for you, Ludwig.

>>I’d rather be a single, free, non-HTist, nomadic beachbum who’s right into jogging, bushwalking and other good exercise... Nah… that old horizontal tango is very easy to beat in terms of adrenalin rush, endorphin-generation, health and wellbeing.<<

You have my very deepest sympathy.

Where do you get this fundamentalist Muslim for me Producer. They are the ones with multiple wives, producing as many offspring as possible.

I have never been in favor with cluttering the place with kids. Meanwhile I would take out the entire Boko Haram where ever I found them.

Hasbeen – You said

<<The old song, You Gotta be a Football Hero appears to be just as true today as it was back in the 30s, & even happens in school ever since we've had coeducational education.

Perhaps that's the problem, & we should never have let those girls go to school.>>

Naturally I assumed you were not in favour of mixing of the sexes or female education. This is a Muslim fundamentalist doctrine. As you are aware Boko Harem abducted a couple of hundred female students because they do not believe in female education.

You need to pick your metaphors more carefully I suggest?

With regard to Boko Harem I would give you a hand!
