    3. DonB

      DonB

      don't run for the hills there could be avalanches and the beach ? expect tsunami, it looks like you are well stuffed!

    4. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      An avalanche? In urban Victoria? In a southern hemispherical summer?

  12. Why is it when you cut a piece of wire it always ends up short?

      Measure once, cut twice. That's right isn't it?

    3. Brian Harrap

      Brian Harrap

      Not in this house - measure twice cut three times

    4. The Blue Streak

      The Blue Streak

      It's only short at one end though.

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      I didn't know you had a dog. What gauge is it?

    2. DougN

      DougN

      It is a life support system for a nose really! Indiana is a crazy 2yr old beagle.

    3. Castle

      Castle

      Saturated - rather than superheated? The superheated ones are more efficient...

      Huw Griffiths

      Modelling?

       

      What's that?

       

      Wait a minute - it's that enjoyable / frustrating / satisfying hobby we'd all like to find time for - if and when we manage to complete all those chores.

       

      Only joking - of course!!!

  18. My boy's performing with the Melb symphony orchestra and national boys choir! We're very proud!

      XLNT...what's he play?

    2. DougN

      DougN

      No, sing in NBC, he's only 11 brittens War requiem so the Latin is challenging. Singing second soprano!

    3. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022

      Lovely piece but challenging as you say. Enjoy.

    4. DougN

      DougN

      Nope... No one guessed until I was giving the boss a lift and asked what are you up too for the weekend? Having a birthday was the answer.

  21. Wondering if they will miss me tomorrow to say home and do more modelling?

  22. Watching Life of Brian... He's a very naughty bo!
