another commandment wouldn't be "thou shalt not post anything that might touch a nerve or relate to a subject matter which is still a wee bit raw in the memory of a forum user" by any chance?

there was far too much information of a personal nature in that last post. methinks theres a better story relating to that one.

Don't have the faintest idea what you are talking about Gen !! I just thought as commandments go it was quite funny, if it hit a nerve I can assure you it was unintentional !

The only thing my neighbour has that I 'covet' is his helicopter but as long as he takes us to the pub in it now and again we are fine

my bad, i thought you were relating a personal experience to us

good thing it doesn't say "thy neighbor's sheep."

Ah heard that sheep up in Aberdeen weer pink lipstick, but can yi believe uvrythin yi hear thase days.

A man wuz tellin me aboot this Forum thing the day, an he wuz wunnerin hoot wuz rang wi haen a wee covet. I tellt him it should be up tae yirsel hoot kinna cover yi pit on yir bed. Thae say they covets ur hoorafa warm in the winter, so ah think ah might get wan misell.

think your mixing up covet with oolet!!!!!

that'll make a few think?

Maist o them lakely donno hoot an oolet is Mien General. Could you stan ootside yir dorr the night between 6 an 7 o clock an they can drive past an see for themsells

Tell Dunoon an Dedalus ah wiz askin efter them the next time yiz ur thegither.

Its a shame that wan got the looks an the ither yin got the bren and you had tae take hoot wiz left. Even worse when you should have had first pick anyway.

Aye, nice boys the two o them.

Ahm naw ganti be in, so uf yi write wan o yir usual "cut the feet fay yi" replies tae this sose ti get yir ain back, ahll naw see it.

Gee mi regards tae the troops

And whit am I......chopped liver?

Sorry aboot that young man.

I dinna really know you cos you wurrna aboot as much as the other two.

I think you will find I cornered both the brains and the looks genes ( not to mention athletisism)

glad to say my progeny have followed suit #1 daughter just came 3rd in Ayrshire for the 100M ( think she did it just to shut me up going on about winning the argyll 100M all those years ago!

The only thing better than winning yourself is watching your kids do even better.


anyhoo back on topic - just read richard dawkings "the god delusion" highly recommended - especially for cynical b'strds like me - more ammunition than you can shake a stick at - I am now secretly praying for a visit by the mormons! - so that I can prove god doesnt exist.

best line in the book was - we are all athiests - I just believe in 1 less god than the Pope ( or something like that)

athletisism, i'll give you, well i could hardly run away from you with it, even on a good day, which i think was in april 1972. the rest, don't start, just cos i was never a soap dodging student doesn't mean i didn't get my share of the brains and more than my share of the hair(still do, and my share grows with each passing year)

my philosophy was always "ball to my feet" seemed to work for the most part, so i'm not getting into a p!ssing contest just because my shed is better than yours (his came in a box) and my treehouse is better too, ok i can't surf, unless its on here, and i do point out your name as school champion whenever i'm up at the grammar, tho your 100yds time is now down to 10.56 sec or something.

your daughter might get her speed from you, but that sarcastic wit? where does it come from? she could be my own with a lip like that, i know cos i have one of my own.

nevermind, i'm getting used to the idea of sweltered as chopped liver and can't be bothered having a go at the person that started this nonsense, superiority breeds contempt, ok i'm paraphrasing but the sentiment is the same, suffice to say HE is not a dalton, never was, never could be, not got the breeding, never had, never will, is that enough nevers?

What in gods green earth is that avator?

Yiv naewhere near enuff Generalissimo.
Yi cood ferr belt oot the "Twelfth of Never" ah hae tae gee yi that. Yir deep soprana voice wuz somethin thats naw easy tae forget.

i see this thread has been chopped too, must have been sweltereds liver comment, but why wasn't it moved to the best meal thread?

sorry bout the pic but the restrictions on size meant i had to crop it to that size, still it hides all this greying hair which is never a bad thing.

can't remember ever singing twelth, twelf, twelt, twelft, can't remember ever singing that song, you must be confusing me with donny osmond, must be the brothers thing that put you on the wrong road, as for soprano, bit high for me, shawpranos maybe?

how many different topics did that cover, might even get chopped into several unintelligible short statements and move all over the forum.

no, i don't want an explanation, just want to go back onto a topic the next day and follow it as it meanders, these posts are rivers, meandering their way to the sea, not bloody canals.
