This is possibly the reason for Peter Stringfellow looking like he does?  

Funny you should say that.... got this the other day......





A doctor on his morning walk, noticed the old lady pictured above:,
She was sitting on her front step smoking a cigar, so he walked up to her and said ,
"I couldn't help but notice how happy you look! What is your secret?"
"I smoke ten cigars a day," she said. "Before I go to bed, I smoke a nice big joint.
Apart from that, I drink a whole bottle of Jack Daniels every week, and eat only junk food.
On weekends, I pop pills, have s*x, and I don't exercise at all."
"That is absolutely amazing .....
How old are you?"





"Forty," she replied

Love it Maggi

[Peter Maguire]

I hope I look as good when I get to forty. 

[David Nicholson]

Wasn't that Iggy Pop?

[Anthony Darby]

Flattery will likely get you flattened, Darby  

Happy Birthday, Anthony...... ( 27th in NZ!!) .... hope it's a great day for you, old man  

As the Chinese girl said to the stamp collector "philately will get you everywhere". Thanks Maggi, you'll catch me up again soon. Rather bitter sweet today as my Mum had wrapped up two shirts and my sister sent them surface mail to arrive for my birthday.

[Maggi Young]

Oh Anthony, that was  a bittersweet moment. Shows how your Mum felt ....a very nice memory of her for you.

[Anthony Darby]

There's even one for Lucy, but had planned to bring that one.

[Lesley Cox]

I wish you a very happy birthday today Anthony. Hope the weather is warmer than here - well it usuallly is, but not always. Anyway, have a good time and a nice cake hopefully.

John, the statue of Robbie Burns which graces the Octagon in Dunedin's centre is on a similar base but he is sitting, book in hand if I remember rightly. It is usually topped with a seagull doing what seagulls do so well and so often so that cleaning the statue is the major item in the city council's annual budget predictions.

[Anthony Darby]

Thanks Lesley. It's raining here today. The other day I cooked mussels according to a recipe from the 'Fresh!' book you so kindly sent for our arrival a year ago this week. Tonight we are going to the Vector Arena and to the Orbital restaurant in the Sky Tower tomorrow night.

Lesley - Lots of gulls but lots of rain here too.  I think most spend their time on Sir Walter Scott, who frequently sports a cigaette butt, at the opposite end of Victoria Park.

I thought I'd finished reading, but then spotted the last three words of the sentence.

I was really pleased today to meet fellow forumist DaveyP, along with a considerable number of lurkers at the Blacksmiths Nursery talks and snowdrop sale.  It was a very sociable event meeting fellow nutters who I haven't seen since last Spring, and beyond. A lovely day

You can beat an egg but you can't beat the Scottish National Poultry Show - a great day out. Next year 19/20 January 2013 at Lanark Agric Mart (see also www.fancyfowl.com

There must be other rockers that like poultry (and not just to eat),so some random shots - note over 4000 cage exhibits (= maybe 5000 birds) so just part of one the 3 halls on view.

Some really neat looking chooks there!!
