As Jems good lady will verify, making a good rhubarb crumble takes skill and we ladies have our own secret ingredient to make it that bit special, so being 'put orf' is no laughing matter.
I was just ready to pour the port into the mix (that's a secret so keep it quiet) but after reading your Mongolian roobarby thingy I had to drink that port instead which made me unable to see the dial to tune into Radio 3.
I declare the fault lies with you .

Ah. Bloody typical.JUST when you're winning the argument,a woman starts using LOGIC!
Now,look,solo;just this once,I'm prepared to let you think you've won.
However-do NOT think that means a manchap geezer is wrong.
It merely means ANY bloke knows arguing with a female is a waste of time.
So.....yes,dear.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
What I want to now is, where have all my tadpoles gone?There is a large pond in our jardin, and every year since I bought the place over thirty years go, frogs have visited and procreated, producing galleons of frogspawn, followed a few weeks later by toads doing the same.
Every year the frog and toad spawn has produced tadpoles, followed eventually by tiny ickle frogs and toads.
We used to get visits from newts and sloworms, and even migrating eels, but alas they stopped coming a few decades ago for no reason I can think of other than the ever expanding urban sprawl.
This year, for the first time since I bough Fruitcake Folly, there have been no tadpoles. Plenty of frogspawn, (but strangely no toadspawn) but it seemed to varnish overnight leaving not a trace of the little critters.
Where has it gone. Has some school board decided to save money by skimming neighbourhood ponds for frogspawn to serve at mealtimes as we used to have in days of yore, and mine?
Have the local foxes and badgers been eating it? Is it a result of Brexit, or global warming? I have no idea.
Answers please on a postcard.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
When any frogs go missing over here they can usually be found in Croke Park.
Pug knows all about the wildlife Fruity, he might know.
Thank you for your concern lads but there's no chance of the wife battering me, beneath it all she still loves me, she know me well and likes the bit of craic, she's a far better slagger than me I can tell you.
Anyway what’s wrong with having big feet or small feet?, I have small feet, size 7 in a shoe, that’s considered small for a man. I’m sure there are fellas out there who go for little women with big feet and big women with little feet, others like long skinny necks on the women, and some prefer the fat triple chinned look, it takes all sorts of strange people to make a world.
Who remembers Pansy Potter from the Dandy comic? don’t know how she came into my mind.
Believe it or not this is a girl “Pansy Potter the Strong Man’s Daughter”
Note the Christmas presents, imagine trying to pan them off to todays kids.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Size 7? I shall be calling you Big Foot then. My feets are size 38 or 5 1/2 in old money.If they were any smaller I would fall over in a breeze. The advantage is I can buy kids shooze and save on the VaT.
As for the girl in the cartoon, she looks very simliar to Dennis the Mennis. I wonder if the illustrator could only draw one basic character.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
yes tadpole collecting [in the wild but not nude] was a daring and exciting time of youth - then nurturing them [cornflakes and brown sugar optional] and watching them transform into frogs - we all felt like magicians - well my sister didn't cos we wouldn't let her join in - she always wanted to put them in a pie and cook em!| Thread Tools | |
