Noah's Ark

Ah Lazey, the old 'White Australia' policy. Now be fair - it did not exclude all non-whites. If the prospective immigrant could speak a second 'beaurocratically selected' language they could gain entry. Trouble is, the language was 'Gaelic'....

 

Peace between us Forum members. We love boats, not politics. Bless ya LJ.

aww shucks, thats 10 people who love me and 100 that don;t,)
fact is I have too much time on my hands, in between cooking for my boys and my 87 yr old mum , who came for 4 weeks, Never mind, When Helen gets back from Ireland, where she is learning the Gaelic to be sure an all an all, I will be second cook again, and looking for a shed, trouble is most of what's left of my machinery is in NZ,
A man should NEVER EVER sell his tools, I sold most
Can remember, when I sold my spindle moulder, guy turns up with a station wagon, , we all stood around with grins on, sent him away for a trailer, comes back , and we lower it onto the thing, flattens it, he was a home handyman, he got a 1oookg machine with feeders, the works, he left with a very wide smile
hey but I have a black and decker 3/8 drill!!

 

Yo, lazey,

I second Timgoz's motion on no more politics.

You forgot, you still have the tool between your ears.

Nah, it's 11 and 99.

 

Trust you're not counting me among the ten who love you, Lazey...
So make that nine who do, and 101 who don't.....

Oh, and let's be pedantic. It is the Scots who have the Gaelic. More correctly the Irish speak 'Erse'.

And finally - trust Tim to be a party pooper....

 

ok mate well I still love you. and I disagree, we have an Irish teacher friend lives here, they MUST be fluent, but maybe she keeps it simple for my feeble mind

 

Well, OK, As long as you remember me on Mother's Day.....

 

be honest you are only disgruntled cos you can't get on deck by 0530

 

Perfectly gruntled, Lazey. Was up at 5.00 this morning seeing my youngest girl off on a school trip to Canberra...Mind you later this morning gruntle may slip....

 

so that's how it's spelt? always thought is started with an 'A' but niver mind!

 

Sorry Walrus..But a couple of Martin McGuinness' boys have persuaded me to tell them where you live....

 

Is now a good time to tell you I won't be online for the next week? Got me knees to think aboot! (doing a first aid course all week - honest!)

 

Hope they've hidden the surgical spirit...

 

Getting back to the topic (and I hate doing this ) I came across this gem recently:

Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

A bit of wisdom in there somewhere fellas?

 

Yes: In mythology, anything is possible.
