Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
well tanks be to ya young fella for that warm welcome - it was a few years now that i was walkin along the banks of the Liffey in the glorious sunshine of Dublin. The pubs were full to the gunnels and all I could hear was the lilt of those colleens sittin alongside and they don't talk slow do they those Dubliners, music to me ears. What a more peaceful world it was too. well young fella I was just lookin at me world clocks and sees ya 1.30am over there right now - you must be getting ready for the w/end revelry!Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
We was headin for the castle with the blarney stone affair [no true story this - cross me heart etc] and strangely enough stopped in a lovely quaint pub on the way [ arh but aren't they all] and the place was quite empty at lunch time which I thought was rather strange. Anyhow we bumped into a fella with his young daughter in a perambulator and got talkin to him as ya do and he told us either he or his wife was a local doctor I think it was her? - and so he was out for stroll and bumped into the pub. Anyways we got chattin and told him we woz headin for the blarney stone - well he had this quizzical look about him that was just beggin the next question - wot? wot? - well he said in a hushed toneRe: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
oh you can put rude pics on then? but don't open the pc before 7.30pm?Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
now you will notice in this ozzie version which is permissible for children the swagman aka [postman bill] is sitting under the tree not doing silly things and sticking his head in it? He then jumps up and grabs a jumbuk aka kanga and sticks him in his tuckerbag aka [school satchel] humanely and still alive. Then along comes a squatter [aka farmer] and the troopers [aka cops] and stole the bloody kanga off of the swagman – lot of history wrapped up in that one spittie aka spitfire – ozzie history 101Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Hello bret, and welcome to the mad-house. Abandon hope all ye who press enter here.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Well thank you FC for that warm welcome and plethora of stories across the boards! - Yes I have spent some time in Perth a windy city at times the tall buildings and now narrow central roads cause wind tunnels! - I think it has been called windy city but the same would apply to Sydney and Melbourne etc.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Thanks for the kind offer.
