I am cross-posting this to afba (follow-ups are set to alue) as there
was some interest in joining the fray.


Not much to say except this Saturday, 30th January, is Camden meet day.

Details and a map can be found at the address below.

I think it is likely that we will move from the Firkin to Dingwalls
(behind the building opposite the Firkin) at approx 3:30. Please look
at the map given so that you will know where we are.

If anyone wants my mobile number in case they cannot find us etc then
email me.

Is that Camden in Sydney, Australia or another Camden (Such as Camden
Tahhhnnn as Suggs might say)?

Perhaps it should be Camden in Sydney after all. At least we can
then expect better weather.

Well, it was a bit parky as I emerged from Camden Town Stn (somewhat
later than I'd originally planned). Smudge was there to meet me and
guide me to the venue where I fully expected to see Sarah and hand
over a book of hers I needed to return. According to Smudge she was
there when he left to meet me but she'd gone when I got there.

So I've still got the book.

<sigh>

It was a nice evening out, and nice to see everyone again.

Smudge is now setting up the 1999 Tring Meet for Sept/Oct which is a
"bring a musical instrument 'cos we're gonna do some jamming" meet.

I may give that one a miss....

That could be a very good idea---I've just acquired a didgeridoo, but
not any musical ability to go with it.

To practice cyclic breathing (which you need to be able to do to play
the didj.) blow through a straw into a glass of water, by pushing air
out of you cheeks (not you arse cheeks), whilst breathing in through
your nose, keeping a constant stream of bubbles, until you can do it for
5 mins non-stop.

That is what I was told. I tried. It's too hard. Buy a CD and mime.

Actually, it's been pretty much pissing it down in Sydney since Christmas.

(The air fare would probably be cheaper than getting from here to Camden on
public transport, though.)

Given that I was sweeping snow off my car this morning, I would happily
put up with a little Australian rain. It may be wet, but it's warmer.

National Express from Bristol to London is pretty cheap. That said,
the bus from BS32 to the bus station would probably double your costs.
Then there's the Tube fare in London. Yep, you're right. Cheaper to Oz.

Oh, we've had a few nice days but yeah, it's not good anywhere on the
east coast at the moment (Mary River at Gympie, N. Queensland has risen
21m over past couple of days).

If you're going to do that could you wait until the Aussie RL season

As they say in Vancouver (usually as it's raining for the seventeenth
consecutive day): "You don't have to shovel rain".

My walk to work is at the mercy of shovellers. Most of it is past a
hospital or across campus, and this is kept clear by cute little
snowploughs that are exactly 1 sidewalk wide. The rest comes down to
the people who live beside it; the owners of one house apparently
thought it would be a neat idea to shovel everything but the last half
inch of snow, so that when it freezes, you get an instant skating
rink, whether you want one or not.

It occurs to me that the Norwegian ø really should be struck through
the other way on the downward side of the wave, for the purposes of
symmetry and all that.

Ken, who should probably be struck through himself.

<grin> Not a prob, then all the non-Australians could come over here
floating on inflated inner-tubes. Perhaps they could erect handkerchiefs as

I think I'd want a spot of double-glazing and some central heating.

BTW, where's Michael? This is the second reference this week to nude
heavy-equipment-operating and he hasn't let out a peep.

I wonder if Spooner's J.D. has such a metal cage and if so does his body
turn into "OP-ART" in hot Southern Cal sun?

Nope, no metal cage and were the JD to roll over on me, my body would
immediately become an art medium.

Finger paint springs to mind.

Very soon it will be time to give the JD it's spring tune up, oil change
and this year a fresh coat of green and yellow JD paint.

(...give me a break!)

Spooner, holds regular office hours too...every eighth Wednesday and with
good reason too. I hear the EPA want to give him sanctions for riding all
over the S.D. beach front on his J.D. but they couldn't catch him. He's
quick that guy.

Sounds like he at least intends to qualify for a "DGO land sculpture
award"... in the contemporary sense (smeared like finger paint) and on the
magnitude of Mt. Rushmore... but with more chin then Washington of course.

"My body would immediately become an art medium". What a wonderful
turn of phrase.

Ha! Hyperbole is my friend.

While I'm not particularly willing to put myself to the test, suffice it
to say that I have every confidence that my body would suffer a serious
loss of structural integrity were I to become JD road kill.

If this is true, I think they will be forgetting about this one real quick
coz Reagan certainly is....

Now putting a totally unknown american up there would be interesting...
"Who is that...?" "What did HE do...?" "...oh that's Campo Man, Michael
Barton Spooner," riding nude on his J.D., with a big smile on his face, and
tipping his hat to the multitudes who come to gaze up in wonderment because
he was just an ordinary gas man...

That MD20-20 is good stuff huh? Many years ago I consumed an entire bottle
of the concoction. Soon I began to notice that the TV picture was rolling.

Later I discovered it was the room that was rolling.

No wheels on my tin box. At least, I don't think so. It's dark under
there.

Did you hear about the guys who stole 17 million bucks from an
armoured car company? One of them hid out in Mexico. The other one..
Well, he moved out of his old trailer into a $600,000 house, travelled
around in a limousine, left $900 tips in pizza restaurants, got his
wife some breast implants, and so on. His wife even took some of the
money, still wrapped in the armoured car company wrappers, to a bank
as asked how much she could deposit without them reporting her.

They're in jail now.

Or the local would be robber that showed up at an area bank and presented a
a hold up note with crude letters scrawled on a deposit slip. Seeing that
the deposit slip was actually from the bank across the street and noting
that the man appeared none too cleaver the teller said: "This is a Bank of
America deposit slip and we can't accept it here. You'll have to take this
across the street."

Umm, he's in jail now.

Then there was the guy who held up his own bank. When he wrote the
note on the deposit slip, he automatically filled in his account
number in the appropriate box.

He may be out of jail by now.

Sorry but I'm out of dumb crook stories.

I once saw a picture of a Eucalyptus tree in the on-line edition of the
London Telegraph with a caption that indicated that it was growing in Ohio.

Now that was pretty dumb.

Sorry, not on a par.

Not to stay on this forever but...

These just popped up in my joke box...

REAL SMART CRIMINALS:
Florida:
Wearing a ski mask and carrying a gun, a thief burst into the
bank one day. Aiming his gun at the guard, the thief yelled, "FREEZE,
MOTHER-STICKERS, THIS IS A ****-UP!" For a moment, everyone was
silent. Then the snickers started. The guard completely lost it and
doubled over laughing. It probably saved his life, because he'd been
about to draw his gun. He couldn't have drawn and fired before the
thief got him.

The would-be thief ran away and is still at large.

Tennessee:
A man successfully broke into a bank after hours and stole the bank's
video camera. While it was recording. Remotely. (That is, the
videotape recorder was located elsewhere in the bank, so he didn't
get the videotape of himself stealing the camera.)

Louisiana:
A man walked into a Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter and asked for
change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled
out a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk
promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled,
leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he
got from the drawer? Fifteen dollars.
If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, was a crime
committed?

Arkansas:
Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that
he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab
some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it
over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit
the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. Seems
the liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event
was caught on videotape.

New York:
As a female shopper exited a convenience store, a man grabbed her
purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was
able to give the police a detailed description of the snatcher.
Within minutes, the police had apprehended the snatcher. They
put him in the cruiser and drove back to the store. The thief was
then taken out of the car and told, "Stand there for a positive ID."

To this instruction the man replied, "Yes Officer, that's her. That's the
lady I stole the purse from."

Washington:
When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked
on a Seattle street, he got much more than he had bargained for.
Police arrived at the scene to find an ill man curled up next to a
motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesperson said that the
man admitted to trying to steal gasoline and plugged his hose into the
motor home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle
declined to press charges, saying that it was the best laugh he'd ever
had.

New Jersey:
A Newark woman reporting her car as stolen mentioned that there
was a car phone in it. The policeman taking the report called
the phone and told the guy that answered that he had read the ad in the
newspaper and wanted to buy the car. They arranged to meet, and the
thief was arrested.

Michigan:
The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a
Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan, at 7:50 a.m., flashed a gun,
and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he
couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the
man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for
breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked away.

Kentucky:
Two men tried to pull the front off an ATM by running a chain from
the machine to the bumper of their pickup truck. Instead of pulling
the front panel off the machine, though, they pulled the bumper
off their truck. Scared, they left the scene and drove home--. with the
chain still attached to the machine-- with their bumper still
attached to the chain-- with their vehicle's license plate still attached
to
the bumper.

...forgive me guys.

Nah, he just did the voice. Can't recall who did the body, but all the
police need do is hang around Hollywood---isn't he in the new series
of Star Wars films? They're bound to catch him there.

Differences in culture would preclude both of those products from being
marketed here under with those brand names and I'd say esp so for "Fairy
Liquid".
