Oh dear Retlaw! I am not going to enter into a discussion about how I have trained him.
As for sitting up for biscuits...no, he just goes and helps himself to them

And if you knew me....I mean really knew me, you would know that I am the least selfish person you are likely to meet.
If I were as selfish as you think I am I would not spend time doing the things that I do for other people.
You have cut me to the quick.

Just checked out the seven virtues ... kinda boring, particularly the fides, spes, caritas stuff ... I think that's Latin for "feed us peas and carrots"

I wonder why there are only seven ... surely a creative species such as ours could have come up with another three, so that we could have a nice round number, ten ... like in the ten commandments.

I know what you mean Eric.I have this massive inferiority complex.

I keep thinking other people are as good as me.

That reminded me of a time when we were having a discussion with the boss after he'd cocked up big time, after a heated exchange, my mate said Geoff if I had to call you a **** you'd sack me would you, yes I would was the reply, but if I had to think you were a **** you couldn't do anything about it could you, well know not really, well Geoff I think your a ****, I'll let you use your imagination as the the word which was used

It wasn't my list of sins...and I don't need to dry my eyes.
Once something is cut, it stays that way until it heals...now, have you got any elastoplast or not?

There are far more uses for duct tape than merely sealing someone's gob.

I'm a bit envious. Nay, jealous even.

I'll take 'em off you. x

Lol, cheers Rindy, you are welcome to my stones. According to my scans, they are rather large. My gluttonous attitude means that I have been cultivating them for quite some time. When I have them out, I am wondering if they will polish up and make decent jewellery. I have promised my niece that she can have earrings...

I had cufflinks made out of mine ... can't for the life of me figure where I put them

(No, not in my shirt cuffs ... don't do shirts and ties any more; I'm into the dishevelled look

) They don't polish well; but you could clearcoat them.

Good luck with the jewellery angle of your stones......when I was in theatre, I was washing a very nice handful that the lady said she was going to have made into a necklace....they crumbled into sand and went down the drain in Theatre 2.
I had to visit the lady on Ward 3 and tell her what had happened to her stones...and why she would not be wearing them around her rather ample neck.

Was there nothing else hanging about in theatre, which had been recently removed, you could have given her, to make her dreams come true?

Margaret Pilkington · 17-11-2011, 08:11

Oh God! No.....couldn't do that......eeeew, would you want to be walking round with something hanging round your neck that had grown in someone else's inside?
Anyway she didn't need anything to draw attention to her neck....that may sound very unkind, but it was true. You accentuate your best feature to draw attention away from your failings...don't you?
