Will the real Cowboy Troy please stand up, please stand up...

You have us all pointing fingers at each other, cowboy! This person thinks its so-and-so, that person thinks its that person over there. Personally, I am pointing my finger at my ol' friend Pop You can point your finger at you if you think you are him .

PM me and we'll talk about Beeville. I'll know in seconds if it is you.

If you are cowboy, that is very cool. If you aren't, the real Cowboy Troy should be flattered that someone from Scotland is pretending to be him, but we'll still string you up. Get a rope....

No, Pete, I don't really think he is from this side, but you know.. you give a guy enough rope he'll hang himself.. always got to pretend that you are falling for his sh**te, even when you know it is b.s. Sooner or later the truth comes out Since Cooboy Troy came on I've gone from ankle boots to waders, and the stuff is almost over my head...

I feel like the fly.. "help me.... help me.....

Interesting thread about prefabs. Do you know that Sears used to sell homes by catalogue from the early 1900's until after WW2 in the States Some were large 2-story dwellings that still stand. Apparently they had 90 floor plans to choose from. Here is a picture of a whole community that was built with housing ordered through Sears, shipped in pieces to Carlinville, Illinois and put together.

Also, there is a hotel on the Riverwalk in San Antonio that is many stories high. Each cubicle (room) was put together and totally furnished on the ground, all the wiring complete, furniture, fixtures, everything, and then lifted up into its place by crane until the hotel was finished.

that Bubbling Jock hombre........he'll be confined indoors soon from what I can gather....he'll have nothing else to do but resume posting.........

What do you mean by the above?? and I like you fine In that wee avator you remind me of the clan up here who have coal sandwiches and chew bubbling tar when the shop runs oot of gum. By the way as a troy fae the Davaar scheme you are kidding nobody. Away and learn how tae work a camera.

Bubbly, I'm just putting two and two together here and I hope you are not thinking what i'm thinking, because if you are you are completely wrong. I am not one of these people who would do that. Who you are I do not know, I was even mentioned as being you, I guessed who you may be, but i don't care. Maybe I'm reading this the wrong way, but i don't think so. Back to you to confirm.

A number of interesting points have been raised here by the learned participants of this particular conversation. I have often had to deal with a craving for coal and coal dust, but mostly in expectant mothers. It isn't normally on the menu for the rest of the extended family. However., in the village, anything is possible.

'Bubbling Tar' was once a reference to a prominent member of a famous Tarbert family, who allegedly forgot to release the tow rope on falling from his water skis. The resultant wash was of such magnitude that the perplexed harbour master took an asthma attack, whilst blasting for all he was worth on his 'Acme Thunderer' whistle. A damned inconvenience for yours truly, with the yacht rolling and halyards clattering, I was forced to grab the nebuliser and run to the harbour side, leaving poor Lady Snoddy to fend off the foul mouthed and menacing fishermen, who were working at there prawn and lobster pots.

As the harbour official was unable to provide me with a verifiable National Insurance number, I declined to assist any further regarding the situation. I did concede to offering to telephone for an ambulance, as I felt sure that the drivers would enjoy another trip to Oban or Glasgow. Besides, I was meant to be on holiday!

Finally, I think that it goes without saying that we must ask JDC in less than 100 words: 'What exactly does to + to equal?'

Tried typing the word "ess aych aye aye tee eee" above about 5 times and different ways. Had to resort to asterisks! Otherwise, it comes out as shiite, even when I typed it with three i's and a couple of s's! (Not that I would ever really use the word . No, never.. just testing ) Let's see if shyyte works. Yup, it does

The word censor catches certain naughty words. Gary tried to get round it one day so Davie added the "what was that Gary" line. Most folk self-censor rude words with asterisks but the odd word slips through and is caught with the word censor. I would say you could try out the word censor, but that might be tempting fate considering some of the characters around.

This wont happen though. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/4734350.stm
It's the story about a guy who was fined for swearing in public.

'It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time, and this should help get you started.' I said to Auld Pop following our initial consultation.

'During a pre-arrange visit to the local funny farm, Auld Pop asked me
what the criterion was that defined whether or not a patient should be
institutionalized.'


"Well," I said, "We fill up a bathtub; then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, a landing net and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub as quick as they can."



"Oh, I understand," said the intrepid Pop, who by now was questioning himself over who had persuaded him that he might find this trip quite interesting. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup, and well, who would be as stupid to use the net?.

"No," said I, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed by the wall or near Hurricane Jake at the window?"

Anyway, he fled, shouting something about me 'Paying for this!'

'Some folk pay good money to stay in places worse than this,' I retorted

Good for Pop..we'd miss his posts (run, Pop, run!) Ol' Hurricane Jeck checked himself in there and after a few unauthorized outings.. well, we've just never heard from him again

Well, ACTually.... Doc, you find yourself a nice bed and pop can visit you often. The normal person might pull the plug, but the smart person who needs to empty the bathtub as quickly as they can would use the bucket.... will you want pop to bring you anything? blankets? food? more comfortable restraints?

Dr Snoddy Esq., you seem to have stepped into a nest of black widows due to your furtive attempt to coheres the ever popular Pop into signing for the Gartnavel Cherry Pickers. Yes, the full force of the harem will descend upon you should you attempt to pull off another stunt like this.

Besides, if Pop is the Pop I'm thinking of, he wouldn't have had a plug anyway, as the bath only came out every second weekend, and was filled in front of a roaring fire. I assume that the only method available to empty the vessel would be via buckets and basins, unless he is guilty of draing the water awy through the solum.

Going by Malky's statistics, Bochan Mor and JDCarra will be the next for the frontal labotomies, courtesy of the site censors. I have a terrible feeling that the internet Police have already tackled poor bubbly jock, as he doesn't seem half as fowl as he was before Christmas.

Aye sanyanya you're right I have had my primarys clipped and my gas put to a peep.

I'm afarid the satire is misunderstood by all the sensitive souls on here. It's like walking on eggshells Think maybe leave it all tae the wan liners and the photographers. You see I canna help myshelf.

I'm jeest nasty through and through. I see it as an asset tae my lifestyle and the reason for my survival but others see it as offensive. Never could see why but we are all strange beasts. Sure we are?

Poor Malky is noo the man wae the scissors and as sure as that cat in the barn's a hairy beast more and more of my posts will end up on the cutting room floor But when you re playing wae the big boys the rules must be obeyed. It's jeest finding the way to obey. I am trying hard but it's naw easy

Maybe make a film with the directors cut or even a book Maybe my freen Bochan mor will know!

Now that's unfair bubbly, I haven't cut or edited any of your posts.

As I've said before, I'm not here to be a censor, just to moderate - there's a big difference.
