Can't do that - I quit smoking way back in the last century. BTW, some friends
called us up yesterday, and asked SWMBO if I wanted a pile of spare lumber they have,
to build a shed with. The most amazing thing is that she said "Yes"!

Fortunately, Red Barrel died a deff when Which? Magazine pointed out
that had it been 桨 less in alcohol content, it could legally have been

In the early days of CAMRA they took a barrel of it to the side of the trent
and debated whether to pour it in. The two views were:
* it was so similar to the content of the river that it wouldn't matter
* it was the worst form of pollution imaginable.

The major problem with it was the high gas content, counterbalanced by
the merest trace of any perceptible taste. It wasn't the content of the
dreaded 'Jngarlf Party Seven was it?

Thank you, Shapemoc, for drawing my attention to this posting [my ISP doesn't
carry urs :-( ].
Whilst I deplore the sentiments that prompted this sad individual to have his
fun at the expense of a comparative stranger, I do commend his
imaginativeness. More than half a century of living behind this name have
rendered me somewhat inured to all but the most original of the humour it can
generate, and Guy certainly gets top marks for originality. In fact, I
rather like the "Subtly peer" and "Purely best" versions.

Hfr winzip to molish a self extracting flie, then bung it at yer mum
with instructions on how to change .not to .exe when it arrives.
What choo really want is a copy of pcAnywhere. I hfr it to untangle my
mum from time to time. She's got an icon on her desktop named "Let Guy
sort it out" and when desperate she rings me and tells me that it's all
gorn tits up. I tell her to hang up and not to answer the next call and
take over with pcAnywhere.
If you've never seen it, it's great. From my end I get a window which
shows her screen exactly [1] as she sees it. From her end she gets a
cursor wandering around doing odd things as if her chamine were haunted.
If you want to transfer files to her chamine, you can just drag and drop
them into an open Explorer window on her screen. If you're sending her
pictures, you can drop a bunch of them into a folder and then set up
I-View to play them as a slideshow and leave it running as you sign off.
You can even tell here that you're about to drop off line and that it's
safe to answer the next call by opening a Notepad window and typing into
it!

You have evoked the glorious occasion when I endeavoured, utterly
unsuccessfully, to demonstrate a similar but dross-based comms product,
perhaps Laplink, perhaps totally different, c 1987 or so. The victim was
the nppbhagnag who kept our private ledger in a bound paper book and had
little or no experience of computers. The intention was to transfer data
between locations.
We were in the same room, initially connected by cable. He didn't twig
which bits he was doing and which bits I was doing, with two pre-Windows
Windows in front of him on the, ta-ra, HP Vectra. Unforgetting sugggests
a choice of kermit or similar as a protocol. Quite frightening the way
some software is totally forgettable. I abandoned the 'training session'
when the bod was showing signs of tearfulness.
Come to gvx of it, he was the guy who cried 'I never wanted to be an
nppbhagnag' about half-nine one evening when they'd just shortened the
month-end timetable. He was last heard of dhvgr oynfr [JBPNO] nobhg

As a fellow member of the WOCAB-wife club, allow me to proffer the
following advice:
(1) Never allow the inlaws to choose the wine.
(2) Always get your claret delivered to the inlaws, and collect it
before the summer weather sets in.
(3) Practice useful phrases of flattery in French.
(4) Be prepared to discuss sex, politics and religion at dinner parties.
(5) Don't live in Manchester; a return to France will seem too attractive.

London used to have an alleged road called the "SOuth Circular", which was
about as circular as a bucket full of mating grass-snakes. It was
completely ignored on every road sign in the area, and as far as I can see
almost entirely fictiious

I try quite hard to avoid thimking. OTOH, Crowmarsh Gifford sounds like a perfect
place not to be asked to move from. The key is that it has to sound like it couldn't
possibly be a real place. Chipping Sodbury is another fine example.

ISTR it was a "South Circular Route", as against Road.
meanwhile, a post office in this area has an old brass NCR pressdownº, which
is still in LSD and would need little jbex to get back in full beqre, bar
for the fact that some low-lives broke in and nicked the keys for it, but I
spect there's someone somewhere who could get into it and/or supply keys.
dunno how much they're worth now, but hens' teeth territory, bearing in mind
it wasn't decimalised.

Henners is extant.
Unfortunately, the deep arm thrust is now denied me, but your phrasing
does put me in mind of an Australian show doing the rounds here, and
even there perhaps. It's called "Puppetry of the Penis (the gentle
art of genital origami) and comprises two chaps creating little scenes
with their goolies. The mind boggles as to how they might do this for
the duration of a one and a half hour show. Dashed popular, by all
accounts.
