Refresh my memory again. Where is the secret compartment?

Oh Oh! I am torn! :C I was going to give it to Bushmiller for his use of a possibly foreign word, But then Skew's girl comes in with her masterly rendition of chinglish! :C

Maybe the first one to post a pick can go next! :cool::D

[Bushmiller]

Thanks TL. Escritoire is, in fact, in the english dictionary. Also I had multiple attempts in a flurry of New Year fervour.

So you have a go Skew's_Girl. If we haven't heard in 24 hrs from now, I will assume you are relaxing on a sundrenched beach without internet connection and I will post in your absense.:D

"Escritoire is, in fact, in the english dictionary."

That does not mean much, as the first word in most English dictionary s is in fact Afrikaans.

The poms were, in the past, particularly adept at taking things for themselves and calling them their own as it suited.:D

There are very few truly english words as most are derived from latin, greek and the multitude of other nations that walked all over the poms for a thousand years or more. Once they had learnt their lesson they attempted to do the same to everyone else, arguably with some success.

Escritoire, tambour ..... clearly french words, but in the english dictionary, just like Aardvark:wink:.

Skew's_Girl, where are you? We need to move on:).

They were also good at invading other countries and then complaining when those people followed them home!

You make a good point and it lends weight to the recommendation to "be careful what you wish for" as it can return to haunt you:-.

Now would be the perfect time to find a spot on the beach. The extra half mile of ice sheet gives ample room for all and no need to bring the Esky!


Skew's_Girl, where are you? We need to move on:).

Sorry, basking, sled dogs just didn't want to leave the sun drenched freedom... or their feet stuck to the ice s' 50/50 really. New years fireworks through a cloud of your own frozen breath? Anyone?

[Bushmiller]

Did I say "sundrenched"? I meant "snowdrifted" :).

Following mafiosi tradition they made him dig his own grave, although still nobody has come up with a method of making the "hit" fill it in.

Yes the bucket is approved by Workplace Health and Safety, but really only as a digging implement, not an Elevated Work Platform.

Was forgetting you might be a little snowed under at this time of year considering where you are. I should have known better! Do you have trace heating on the computer keyboard?

It's been a little cooler here than normal too. Has hardly reached 30 deg C. Another couple of months of summer still to go and it could warm up yet.:p

Regards
Paul

[Skew's_Girl]

No worries Bushmiller. Skew and I had a good chuckle looking between the -2 thermometer and "Sundrenched beaches" line. It was perfect at that moment.

I'm in 'back to work after the holidays' mode and that always gives me a dry sense of humour. It's been unseasonably warm for us this winter too, but don't tell Skew that. If he knew it was supposed to be a solid -8 to -10 by now I think he would have grabbed a dozen migrating sheerwaters and flocked south with them.

Traces of heat? nah I just imported an Aussie :D.

"OK, what you do is: Hit the stick with the sledgehammer as hard as you can...the metal thingy runs up the pole... and if it rings the bell at the top you win a prize!"

(I'll probably get hammered for that :p)

Are you sure you drill for oil like this JimBob?

[Sawdust Maker]

[Bushmiller]

Amazing restraint shown by forum members here. There was clearly the opportunity for a risque comment or two and there were at least three subtle allusions but nothing that would arouse the censor:D.

I was particularly taken by mic-d's "I smell leopard. I hate leopard." as that reflected a caption I might have posted myself. It would have run something like:

"When Hercules remembers he is part lion, his lady friend may want to consider changing her spots."

Incidentally, Hercules is real and apparantly is the largest living felid. He is a 410Kg Liger, the result of a cross between a male lion and female tiger. This particular mating produces exceptional hybrid vigour, but it seems not neccessarily the normally associated aggression:). To put his size into perspective a male lion would weigh around 250Kg and a tiger perhaps 300Kg.

I think in the end it was the girl's strange, to my mind, choice of clothing that alerted me to some possibilities here.

However in the end I thought Pugwash's "Anastasia, enraged by the ban on animal skin clothing, decides to grow her own." was priceless and sufficiently quirky to take out the top prize.

Your turn Pugwash.

I was going to say something about Ayla with her totem, but I worried it would alert readers to my girlish taste in books. Oh, did I say that out loud?:wink::)

Now that rings a bell, I had forgotten about. I read a few of those books, but became all cave-beared out after the third one or was it the fourth:?. Canadian female author I think; Auel, or similar.

I seem to recall a large cat (prehistoric) which the heroine rode:cool:. I am going to have to be a little careful how I proceed from here, but from memory it was at least as big as Hercules and clearly we have a few girlie tastes in common:doh:. There I said it. However, I'm over it now though:D.

Regards
Paul

[mic-d]

First book was ok, then downhill from there. By the third it was distinctly Mills and Boon-ish:roll:
I forgot she rode a cave lion. I think she rode a horse too

Cheers

[pugwash]

Thanks Paul. And now for something completely different.
I have no idea whether this pic is real or not. Somehow I suspect it is.

[Bushmiller]

Where did the ball boys go?

You've got to have plenty of balls for that.

Sponsors had originally hope to host a game of "Real Tennis," but that was quickly quoshed when they realised the court would exceed the take-off weight and it was not until the advent of the Boeing 747 in the late sixties that this could become a reality. However by that time, the public killjoy, WPHS, had put a stop to all sporting activities on the wings of aircraft unless they wore high vis clothing.

Regards
Paul

[mic-d]

It's a little known fact that the term "ace" actually came from the days of wing tennis, when hardly anyone could return the serve.


cheers

[mic-d]

Very poor wing tennis etiquette. Monoplane for singles, biplane for doubles.

Is she short? :?

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Dammit, I'm too late. Again. :rolleyes: Still...

First we string the court, then we string our rackets!

Well, it makes line disputes easier to call!

In aerotennis, you only get dedicated hecklers.

Sleeptalkinman is my drug of choice too, TL! I think it may be a little 'enhanced' , but you can't make some of that stuff up :)

He can be particularly harsh on vegetarians too.
