Is that a "naughty" sales pitch, care to share your commission??? "or are you happy to see me" - Now who said that - Oh yes Greta Garbot, on seeing a gentleman "rise to the occasion"

For shame missy lee - just because you "sell yourself on the street corner" or hawk "feelthy pictures" doesn't mean that all of us feel that need. Some of us are interested in being helpful without needing compensation. 'Course, coming from a country founded by convicts I understand that is probably a difficult concept.

Oh well convicts this side of the Pacific, Slaves on your side, bit of a piano-key thing... Is that why I like to look at piano keyboards and "Ivory & Ebony" - In my case was nearer to "Remittance Man" - if you know what that means?

Ayep. Don't watch the video or buy the book, but please go out in the next "intense" weather. We'll hold a proper wake for ya.

Not in it, after it - storm chasing from the rear... hard getting a bit of wind hereabouts, with Frosty up north & the1 over in the deserts of texas.... proper drought of fair or foul breezes...

Have a care Art. remember where we first sent our convicts - well you had to colanise (?) the place somehow! Remember the cry to Europe in general - 'send us your downtrodden masses........' well we and they did (and a lot of undesirables too! and your reaping the benefits)

Bow to the waves is easier said than done . Most sailbopats lie bow well off the wind when riding to any kind of sea anchor from the bow.
I have always passed the Oregon coast 300 miles off .

So have I, but that's bugger all to do with the 'wind', well maybe not to much!!
