That should do it.

I would imagine that most of the first uses of the Guttenberg press were to spread religious dogma and royal propaganda at first, similar, the Marconi radio.

Yeah, but the message took ages to percolate through the land. Now it's instant.

I did a naughty thing late yesterday/early today so I guess I'm guilty of a minor indiscretion myself.

The final 'defects' list at Chez Joey is now only down to about 8 items... out of 78. I've been getting a lot done but as always there's a few annoying bits of debris left over. I decided to rip out the old tiles on the verandah and front steps... chiselled it all away. That produced about 1 tonne of rubble though. Just when the whole place was perfectly tidy and looked so great.

I started sneaking in bits of it into the "general household waste" bin... about 75 kg at a time. So that would take about 12 weeks. Last week, I sneaked a bit more in and got away with it. However early this morning I got 3 red stickers and the council refused to empty. Fair enough.
I felt pretty guilty about doing it. If they call I'll apologise and tell them it was properly disposed of this morning. Had to get 3 blokes and truck.

About 45 minutes work; and around £140 for the convenience. Would've paid more.

I had visions then of a scene from "Porridge" whereby Fletch explains to McKay, that they got rid of all the dirt from the tunnels, by digging a hole and putting it all in there.

Similar stuff happens with parking in the big cities here, whereby the fine is cheaper than 24 hour parking.

(the fist para)

They also smuggled dirt in their trousers from digging tunnels in Stalag 17.
Scattered it around the 'volleyball court' from memory... casually walking and whistling at the same time.

Tom, Dick and Harry tunnels as well...

It's also how PJ escaped from Shawshank.

Then Holly Valance, then Anne Charleston

Then Val Lehman

Then Dame Edna Everage.

I saw ONJ live before she had her knockers off. Definitely would.

More of an Imbruglia man, myself.

I'm torn.

Can I Ednaswap?

Morning. Antipodean fist.

I have a quiz today or tomorrow, exciting times!

Sick

Looks like Jules didn't get the grant.

I am incapable of violence.

I once raged against a machine.

Actually, I couldn't imagine you putting your feet on the back seat either.

Hopefully you'll get the grant.

Morning all. I'm not what little remained of Michael Jackson's shattered reputation.

You Are Not Alone, super. I Remember the Time when Love Never Felt So Good.

People are being extra dumb in here today...

That is the type of quality we like on here.

Quiz today?

Fist

Quality fist, rick.

All OK today so far?

It is indeed all good, sun is shining, and it is Friday.

You?

Great thanks. The sun is just about to slip away for another day. Nice evening here.

I'm up for a quiz... hopefully some of the others are lurking around too.

Excellent, I will give it an hour or so, then I will knock one out... Fnaaarr

I had a good sleep last night so I'd expect to do very well in this quiz.

Very generous to credit me with number 9, rick. I had no idea of the answer.

1. Lobster
4. Satsuma

No worries, Jules, it is a friendly quiz.

Rosemary (Rosmarinus. Ros (dew) Marinus (sea))

I am in meetings now for a wee while, but I have another couple of rounds.

Damn - New York Stack was my next guess!

It was an easier question as the specials bored was actually in the pub where I was doing the quiz...

Is it easy to get your mouth around the New York Stack, rick? Or would it be?

Some of these burgers have way too many layers for my liking.
I had a perfect burger today though and some nice fish from way out in the Tasman... according to Nick. He was so proud of it. I believe him.

I would have to disassemble it by removing the load bearing skewer, to be honest, but the food is really nice.

Not a fan of Terry Hall?

Oops...

I once had to resort to a knife and fork for one of those skewered ones. Didn't feel right. The various parts bled everywhere. It tasted great though.

Apropros of nothing, I just lol'd out loud when I suddenly remembered the guy on the boxing board that went by the name of "onepunch" and who repeatedly claimed that there wasn't a person alive who he couldn't knock out with one punch.

What happened to all the genuine weirdos that used to inhabit this site?

I banned them.

And Tina died.

And Rowley (not Rowley) f*cked off to Tw@tter.

I am not air wolf

Morning.
