Dave The Irish Gaelige and the Scots Gaidhilg for Sxxt is CAC Also the old english term for left handed (or awkward handed) is ....

Hence one lady who overstayed her welcome at a friends house was known as sack of caca. Officially 5he word is merde, which also means mud. Jamie I suggested to Aditi she could include the above in the next French Conversation meeting. Though she said it would be difficult as the topic will be about Debussy. 2 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that the song sung by the crew of a submarine, it was 02.00 at a Ceilidh near Stornaway, was "Nobody washes in a submarine". Jamie I think that's a bit of an urban myth, what is absent in a submarine is deodorant/aftershave, as the active (smelly) elements can impair the air filtration/recycling system. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was a puppy Torri, our Cairn, had a habit of biting power cords. I used to find teeth marks in the plastic sheath. He stopped doing that quite suddenly.

Nothing too fancy though. It's shipping by United Parcel Service and the crate just makes it under the maximum volume for a standard rate. The maximum weight is 50 pounds but it's well under that. It might be a bit difficult to dismantle without splitting the wood. It's held together with a lot of staples fired from a nailer that receives air from Edward my compressor.

bbishop Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I'm back from hospital, having had an MRI scan on my knee. I chose The Kinks as my music but the scan finished before they reached "Waterloo Sunset". One problem, I got an itch on the ball of my foot after about five minutes ..... Waiting time was used to draft an article on Adams' Radials. One moan about drivers. If one is second in a queue at crossroads, is it necessary to be on full beam? It just means the first car (me) is dazzled. And if there is any risk of a collision, I ain't moving. Bill 3 1 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How modern and decadent to have a choice. You Southerners. In Leicester, last year, SWHBO assures me there was no choice, just rap music.

Bill I had "A golden hour with the Kinks" as my aurally administered anaesthetic as I did the ironing yesterday. It was done by the end of side 1. Waterloo Sunset was playing in the bar at the market where we had coffe on Sunday as I paid the bill. The owner was astounded that I could sing along, and knew and could pronounce the words, unlike most of his customers.
