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.'

Rin Tin Tim (Rin Tin Tin's often overlooked sibling)

Tony Blair wench project

The Ken Dodd Couple.

Gordon Brown is a temptress
Through the years she's moving West...

Neil Back to the Future.

Two baby seals walk into a club...

I know a mouse and he hasn't got a house,
I don't know why I call him Gerald Davies.

the Janice Long,

From the v2 sponsors.

You get three years free servicing and an enhanced package...

* that is the gist of the v2 banner ad

Wow, fair deal.

I have Adblock Plus so don't see any of the ads.

I need to get Adblock Plus, then. I keep getting adverts for things I've already bought.

Do it lucky. My computer's never been faster and it feels so light & quick.

Only thing... it also blocks some attachments on emails so you need to give them permissions through the firewall.

Is it free software or will I have to let the moths out of my wallet?

Keep the moths in your wallet!

I had to change from Google Chrome... it was becoming a hindrance and getting slower and slower and not remembering my passwords,etc... so I switched over to firefox and they have all the free ad-ons like Adblock and a good password manager there. I had to unistall all the google bits except for google earth... and also updated flashplayer and a few other bits and pieces too. Seems so much better and faster now.

Hmm, I've got Firefox already, maybe I need to activate the Adblock thing.

Incidentally, the moths in my wallet are the same as the ones in Silence of the Lambs.

Talking about moths... I had a tiny moth problem the last couple of months. I traced them to a pack of green tea leaves from Sri Lanka.
I used to catch and release... but I think they just hung outside the door until I opened it and they all made a moth-line back to the kitchen cupboard again.

Funny, no spiders, mosquitoes or bogong moths (large ones from the desert) this summer; only half a dozen small housefly, a few wasps and these millions of Sri Lankan moths.

I've seen quite a few wasps already this year. Big feckers, too.

Just get a couple of pet funnel web spiders breaker, they will keep the moths away... and any unwanted tourists

Ducks help keep the funnel web numbers down... and scottie terriers will go for them as well. Immune apparently. I have neither but then again no deadly nasties near me (unless I go looking for them)

Sorry but WHAT!!!!! Around every corner, rock, stick or blade of grass in Australia is a deadly beastie.

Hardly. I think the rain has washed them out to sea.

Where the box jellyfish will have 'em.

Or the great white sharks, or the crocodiles or the stone fish or the sea snakes or the ......................

Blue ringed ocotpuss is from Oz too isnt it?

The country is deadly

....tourists.

I'll have mine medium-rare thanks.

Seriously, watch discovery breaker. The land with the most poisenous animals on earth is?

I thought that was England? Oh sorry, you said poisonous animals.

I hate spelling

I hope you don't fill out the flight plans Billy... they'd end up in Accra instead of Aachen.

Or Bangor instead of Bognor.

I am going to watch both your spelling from now on

Oh, so you meant 50 gallons? I only put in 50 litres...

Doesnt matter, with the price of fuel these days, either will bankrupt you

sawdust substitute doesn't go as far as it used to either!

Doesnt sugar wreck fuel in tanks?

Yeah but it's OK in coffee... not in my tea though

I put coffee in my tea. Then I put that in the tank.

Does that get you to Brizzle?

I have never been known to put whiskey in my coffee

To Brizzle or to Brazil?

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes...

She should have steered clear of that bottle with 'drink me' written on it.

P.S. Me Grannie was a Wrestler.

I used to be a lesbian. I'd walk around in a t-shirt that read 'nobody knows I'm a dyke.'

I'm having a terrible week.

I went round to my boss's house for dinner.

His wife asked how many potatoes I wanted. I said "oh, just the one".

She said, "come on, there's no need to be polite".

I said "oh, okay then. I'll just have the one you stupid cow".
