Hello. Following its roaring success on the old 606 (winner of six Luckies*) I thought I'd provide a space on 606v2 for you to post any irrelevant little things you fancy sharing.

I'll start: I've always had trouble with the line 'Love grows where my Rosemary goes.' If they'd chosen another name like Anne or Susan there'd be no problem, but rosemary's a herb so it could be 'Love goes where my rosemary grows.'

Rugby - ball sport played on magic carpets

Devine - ripping up wineries

Curtain: a rude fecker.

Encryption - sealing up mummy's tomb

Bag of chips walks in to a bar and orders a pint.

Barman says... "Sorry, we don't serve food"

Knitting: laying eggs in someone's hair.

Crossword: angry

Having a handjob with yer left hand and with your right hand in a sling. Its like a having a whole new inner-relationship. If you put yer mind and your left-hand, right down to it. Its a virtual GF

Id like to say I feel sorry for people with no imagination or creativity. But I dont. Phhoke ye. Losers.

There was something on the box the other day about a study on aggressive behaviour. The gist of the experiment was that aggression could be reduced by 'forcing the subject' to do an everyday act using the opposite hand/arm, etc. (OK, they were talking about door handles and use of the mouse on the computer but the results were interesting.)

They then got someone to 'have a go' and verbally abuse the subjects and the ones who were forced to use the opposite hand coped the best and reacted less aggressively. They had become "more rounded characters" apparently... better able to cope with stress!

Apparently, you're using the opposite side of the brain (tick) and developing new neurone? connections to do a particular task with the other side of you. (tick)

Had a similar thing occur to me years ago when I had this persistent thigh injury (no treatment except for some deep heat) and I learned to kick using my right leg. Normally left footed. At first, I could manage only what felt like about 40% power on the right leg but after a few weeks this steadily increased. In the end I'm sure I was over 90%... maybe even more.

It was a physical and psychological thing. At first it feels so unnatural and awkward, then after a while you feel as though you have special powers. I can still give the pill a good heave with my right foot and since I broke my left leg about 5 years ago and had to work on building the strength on that peg back up to it's maximum potential I found that the 'connections' were still there (on my right leg) after about 25 years.

No British footballer with any self-respect would work on improving his other foot. We'll leave that to the continentals, who win things.

I'm sure Bingo Jazzhands would consider it and maybe Willy and the 4skins... but you're right lucky - it's out of most people's comfort zones.

When did this thread become a space for high minded debate?

Massive melons with cherries on top!

Watercress wrapped in delicate rice paper!

A single plum, floating in perfume, served in a man's hat!

A dandelion.... floating on a summer breeze, then landing in a pool of motor oil.

A man a plan a canal Suez

Make peace not Dempsey.

A Grand Slam and a Screwdriver, thanks Joe....
(nice picture of Lola, lucky... gorgeous!)

What are you Korean?

Wham SLAM, thank you Myfanwy.

How did you guess?

It's the split personality.

Exactly...

고마워요 친구.... thanks friend

That's all right Kim (or are you Kath?)

Ah, now there was a show.

oim not a hausewoife, oim a hournebaig...

Oi'm effluent...

I'm a purveyor of fine meats...

I remember seeing a butcher's van on which 'purveyor' was spelt 'pervayer.' It's quite a feat to misspell one word in three different ways.

Kath reminds me of our Prime Minister who once said "hyper-bowl" whilst trying to pronounce "hyperbole" and let's not forget her favourite word: "Neg-go-she-ate!"

I bought my youngest sister a Kath & Kim DVD for Christmas a few years ago. I might have to borrow it.

Try and get your hands on Big Girl's Blouse - the precursor to K&K. It's probably on youtube. You'll wet yourselves!

Are there any Australian TV shows that can help me with my constipation?

The best plumber's van round here is Peter Phillips' van

He calls himself P P Plumbing

We call him the stuttering plumber.

I remember seeing a works van at school once, the motto on their van was 'our erection is your perfection.' Such wit!

Sure... just close your eyes and pick any of them. Maybe start with Fast Forward.

Remember Round the Twist? That was a good show.

The kids in the lighthouse one?

I think they took a turn for the worse....

There was a kids show from Australia on in Ireland years ago. Ship to shore? That was decent

Please release me, let me go...

Look, I'm doing my best to find a toilet as it is. Your singing isn't helping.

I don't believe he's an out and out "7"....

Do you ever get that when you're half way through eating a horse and you think to yourself, 'I'm not as hungry as I thought I was'

Yes, had a similar thing happen with a giant squid today.... just wasn't as hungry as I thought I was.
Must have been all those anchovies I had for entrée.

I do. It's usually at that point that I feel some remorse for not having the horse killed before I started.

It's bad when you take the poor three legged creature back to the paddock and it gets shunned by the others.

I loved old Tripod. You could always tell which horse was coming.

Ever eaten a live lion?
Boy do they put up a struggle... hissin' and growlin'.
Until you get to the head that is.... then it all gets awfully quiet again.

Ever eaten a cactus? It's quite a sharp taste.

Kiss me, honey honey, kiss me...

Look, if you're not going to let me pay in my cheque I'll use the machine.

It's almost impossible to run and hit the ground simultaneously.
