I knew I should be careful when it comes to BACON so it turns out to be a good idea when I used snowflake-repellant on my Corniche before the snow started and just be be even more careful I added fire-repellant wax just in case the guy at the gas station is smoking when he is pumping the gas
Oh. I've never had that good idea... ;) I did have a G&T once. My tastebuds declared it truly horrible, Chrsis. I found it reassuring a few years later when it was revealed that psychopaths like a G&T or ten from time to time*trust-me blink* It was on the internet so it must be true, but then I realised that there's a whole area of human experience my tastebuds will never permit me to succeed in... not without a tongue transplant so I got a trifle disappointed *look at bottle of Smirnoff* Thank you :) May I assume that's for me to drink and not for putting out a teensy conflagration at a petrol pump...?
*look enviously at everybody's pi's * I've been meaning to get one of those since before they came with a number attached because they intrigue me. I wouldn't use them as doorstops though because my doors are quite self-sufficient at stopping themselves and me - but I don't see why someone couldn't, if they could work out the programming for that...
@petroleum distribution engineers wherever they are: With the complexity of fuel types when filling up at an unfamiliar service station, I'd appreciate their expertise, I really would. They'd be quicker and less dithery so you'd be less likely to irritate people waiting. On a cold night, you could stay inside your warm car. It'd be virtually impossible to drive off forgetting to pay... which... judging by the list at our local all night garage - seems to happen a lot the more expensive the car is... and I'm not a huge fan of dealing with machines around my height or taller anyway... so I'd possibly add New Jersey to my list of places to visit based on Mikey's information alone :)

Time is magic
For awhile we were a whole year behind awestrailear, Robl... again.
I think we'd have to switch the international date line round to our side of the planet to fix that. Speaking of them, I never knew baby platypi ... platypusses
*scowl*
I never knew a baby platypus was called a good grief I've forgotten... hold on ... a puggle.
glad I wasn't sitting at that table
so was that you that got up and left then, MAGIC? :) "left" in the sense you were no longer sitting at the table obviously... Now I roughly know what to expect - I'm quite interested to know whether I would and at what speed/distance/direction I'd perambulate myself at...
Hope this new year is better than last
Oh me too, Kathryn :) Most definitely!
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

If you come to our local sanctuary you can have An Experience with platyplurals. Small groups of people are allowed to quietly wade through a shallow pool, supervised by a keeper, and have the cute little Darwinian weird examples swim around you. You are not allowed to touch them as some have a spur on the hind foot which injects a venom ( yes, you have gumboots on ). What a surprise that would be : Death by Platypus. Kind of explains why 'it has no known predators'. Yet another toxic eco-solution in The Great Southern Land. Rather like Bambi pulling out an AK47 on you ....
Cheers, Mike.
( edit ) Oooops ..... my bad. As it's only the boys with the nasty implements then one can safely wade with a girl in a waist deep pool. Or as we say in Healesville : no one has died since last time. As a protected species it is unlawful to handle and/or harass them in the wild, if not suitably authorised, not to mention the awkward task of reliably getting the gender correct. To say this contact is incredibly popular with the public is an understatement. To keep her stress down ( the platypus that is ) these are limited to 20 minutes tops for at most five times per week. Maybe less/not if she is unwell. Current waiting list to get in is over four months. She was a young orphan/foundling brought in a few years ago and was not able to be returned to the wild. However she took kindly to being tummy tickled, and the rest is history. The norm in the wild is for them to be highly averse to contact. The gag is that the keeper in the aqua pastel top is her 'personal assistant', and they have a one-on-one history together rather like a dog & handler. But who is really in charge here ? :-)
( edit ) Oooops again ..... reboot for 2017 Mike .... you can't be licensed to harass them.
I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter ...

You might be surprised how things taste if you can get paste the name of it! Mose nose, cows tongue, pigs feet and even hog brains all are pretty good if cooked the right way. I hear chitlins are good too but alot of it depends on how conscientious the cleaner is!

I have one of those too, soon I will have two of them as a 2nd one is coming with an Ebay thingy I bid on and won.

Just don't stay there long, SOME of the locals can be rather nasty tempered for no reason other than they can be!!

One day my girl I will buy you a large Tanqueray and Fevertree, and I will defy you to say, actually that isn't that bad. Otherwise the Barman at the Hilton would be a bit miffed.
Apros pos these blow raspberry pie thingys, this is just a modern rehash of the Turtle Logo Graphics stuff we had in the 70's. All about teaching kids to program robots and stuff on the cheap. Allied to LISP or somesuch wasn't it? Learnt BBC Basic and GW basic, a bit of Fortran, looked at Cobol, then Pascal with the OU. All different dialects of control programs going back to CP/M.
Now the thought of a smart fridge ordering my groceries rather gives me the collywobbles people, yes it does. But if you can show me how to program my Samsung smart tv to order more beer from the offy, then I could be up for showing a bit of interest in that. And if it could block Corrie Street for ever, then gosh. I'm your man!
Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)

Try telling a Southerner how to prounce Keighley and they won't believe you. Aye you're right there Obediah, they won't.
As they say, you can always tell a Yorkshireman, but you can't tell him much!
