Because chips rule & they're not made out of creatures. Neither are mushy peas!! :p

Correction: "Belgian chips rule"... I already told you: what they call chips here in the UK is considered by us Belgians as "halved potatoes..." :D

Anyone have Sticklebricks when they were kids? Now they were cool!

[Desertfish]

Someone will need to educate me on the subject of "Sticklebricks..." Not following anymore...

Thes are sticklebricks, similar conceot to Lego.

I had some like this when I was a kid & loads of Lego too. It's bringing fond memories flooding back now!!:D:D:D

[Desertfish]

Bugger... can't even recall how we used to call them in Flemish... didn't have any of them though... But I had tons of Lego, Playmobil and matchbox cars... :D

[tornadored7]

Ahem :o,

Sorry DesertFish, can I rudely interrupt (BTW, isn't Desert fish a bit of an Oxymoron, or at best an extremely endangered species ?)

DH, I'm cross posting threads from the Dream Garage, Just saw the 'family photo album' :p.

Anyway, I can only say that you must be "losing your head" or at least "need your head examined" (from an avatar point of view)!

Give my regards to the family.

Sorry DF, pray continue ...

Mathbox cars! I had loads of them! They were made of metal & said Made In England underneath! You try to find either of those in a toy now! All plastic & made thousands of miles away so they can pay some poor sod a couple of quid a day if they're lucky!!
Anyway, I'm too excited about these ace toys af yesteryear to get heavy!
Did you have Action Man in Belgium?

Please, join the cool toy reminiscence session! Oxymoron is a fine word, although I'm never too sure what the difference between that & paradox is? Paradox being another fine word!

I can still remember buying them in cardboard boxes like this:

Holy poop! I actually had this one! I'm sure I did. Must have been about five at the time!!

[tornadored7]

I remember the Lesney/Matchbox toys, they were a feast for a little boy's imagination, particularly with a group of friends :o.

Not really a toy, really more of a hobby, do you recall AirFix models ?

This is tentative to say the least; might it possible to ascribe the lack of Engineering / Science graduates to the demise of Matchbox toys and Airfix models ?

Correlation time ...

In fact, on a deeper theory of learning note, is the choice of toys more influential on a child's future than we credit for ?
Sorry, I'm getting a little too deep ...

[Desertfish]

Ahem ,
Sorry DesertFish, can I rudely interrupt (BTW, isn't Desert fish a bit of an Oxymoron, or at best an extremely endangered species ?)


The origins of the name "Desertfish" are a bit hard to explain, but the oxymoron in the name was what I thought was really funny... Have been using the name ever since I started playing Unreal Tournament online back in 2000...




Did you have Action Man in Belgium?

Yes Action Man was also available in Belgium but I never had any of them. That's because they are from a time when I was alreay grow up and my favourite toys were wearing miniskirts... :D

I remember Airfix well! I made quite a few tanks & planes in my time! You may have a point there, toys don't seem to stimulate dexterity now, they're interactive alright, but usually on a screen! We needs toys that get little fingers working overtime in conjunction with busy minds, planning & building & inventing!

That's quite a cunning ploy. I'm not really a hardcore gamer myself, didn''t have much spare time (there was an episode during software integration testing involving UDP packets ... but that's a story for different time).

However, I can imagine other players subconciously trying to unravel the Oxymoron while playing, hence not being able to fully concentrate on the game, so enventually losing.

[Dudey Head]

I had a plastic crate type thing full of them, thay were all scratched because they were all piled in there! Every time I got a new one I promised myself I was really going to look after it & it wouldn't get scratched like the rest. Within a week it was in the crate getting scratched! :D

[Desertfish]

I'm not a hardore player myself. At least not online gaming... But back in the days when I was working at 3Dfx, it was compulsory to play UT during lunchtime... Everyone joined in. Even the MD... :D

:Blush:, I was marginally clued up, but learnt a great deal from this and the TDIClub forum. Over time and alot of effort, I've gradually been able to perform more difficult maitainence and repair tasks myself.

Believe it or not, that's actually one of the key reasons for this forum! Of course there are other reasons ...

If you can name it, think about, taste, smell, lick, touch, break, cut, saw, crush, mend or anything else, that is what the Horse said to the Fish and "Vicky-Verky"

In other words; blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and so on and so forth.

In fact, I'd like to see the Horse and the Fish re-enact the olde Les Dawson sketch whereby he is a gossipy olde fish wife rabbiting over the garden fence.

Whilst talking about Les Dawson, maybe Sam could lend us his Morris Dancing hankies so we could wear them on our heads and have an online gurning competition?

[Dudey Head]

I on the other hand, just kicked Ms Desertfish out of my life before all that stuff happened... :D:D:D

You need a lass with a fondness of talking bolox, that's the key! Did the Ms. Desertfish not appreciate a good bout of tangent tinged tish?? I didn't think women found talking bolox funny until I found Mrs. Dudey in the pub one night! A revelation it was, I remember thinking "I fancy her AND she talks more random surreal crap than I do!" Met through a mutual friend who's a yank, random-a-rama!! :D

Of course there are other reasons ...

Like what?

Assembling a motley crew of battle hardened rebels from the remenants of House Atrades to try and defeat the evil Harkconnan empire? Remember you can't fold space without it.

or is it to;

Read the mindless memoirs of blokes who really should be talking about cars but instead are trying to re-enact that rather tedious thirteen year old schoolboy witty comment phase to like minded blokes who are also trying to do it and who will actually listen?

I know do.

[Desertfish]

Did the Ms. Desertfish not appreciate a good bout of tangent tinged tish??

Nope... everything needed a deeper meaning... Talking bolox was a waste of time... so was paining and drawing, reading novels, etc...

Anyway... not all is bad... One day I kicked her out, put on my coat, went out and bought my Passat... :D

Actually Col,

I was trying to get the Essential Tools/ Dream Garage post back on track (http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showpost.php?p=218277&postcount=83), when I commented on DH "loosing his head" and some how ended up on this post !

So if you can, I'd appreciate if you could please spare a minute to reply to my post on impact tools.

Yeah... well I'm here till at least 7am... Graveyard shift... :(

Oh well, if no one is playing anymore, maybe I should go back to my movie... "Battle of Britain"... All those Messerschmits with BMW engines being shot to bits... :D:D:D

Harkonnen ...

D'oh, you spell it with an 'e' at the end not an 'a'. Good books those, did you see the mini-series a few years back? Also as a non gamer, you wouldn't remember playing Dune2 back in the early 90's? I remember it well on my then 486sx50 with 4mb of ram! Top game.

[MalcQV]

Phew read it all now.

Dinky and Corgi toys. Dinky cars were better as they generally had more moving parts. Matchbox were just too small.

I too dumped them in three big boxes that slid under the settee. My older brother's toy cars were in there too. They all ended up scratched. I seem to remember donating them all to my primary school as we got older.

Morning BTW.

I have now spent nigh on four hours trying to remove one shock absorber from the Mondy. The bottom bolt appears to be rusted into the metal sleeve on the bush :zx11: Wish I had paid to have it done now but unfortunately at a point of no return. I think the next one will be done by the specialist :p

wow, an eventful night.

morning all. 5-a-side footy tonight. cant wait.

Anyway... for all you gents who need to munch all day long because cereal bars don't live up to their promisse, try this one for for breakfast:

- 1 flass of mik
- 1 banana
- 1 handfull of porridge oats.

Put in a blender and drink it... Much healthier than cereal-killer bars and you won't be needing any more munchies until at least lunchtime...

sounds 'lovely'

Money well spent then?? Bit of a City fan myself, not hugely, prob not right to call myself a fan but I stick up for them. If they win great, if they don't, never mind, let's pop the kettle on! I'm glued to international football, but not that bothered about league footy.

Like myself with rugby then. I understand the game, all the rules and everything, but only bother to watch the internationals. Can never be bothered with the league stuff.

Same with tennis really, I understand everything about that, I just watch Wimbledon, and sack the rest as far as I'm concerned.

I was in croydon today, happily walking along, just about to cross the road when a tram came round the corner - i let it past and then noticed that it was indicating?

Indicating?

Why on earth does it need indicators?

It's not as if it could of gone straight on or right?

It HAD to follow the tracks which went left.

Trains don't have indicators, nor do roller coasters, boats don't have them.

I might fit some to my hoover, iron and son. All of which CAN turn left or indeed right without warning.

Hey, Creakybits Sansome, When I walked outta the door this morning there was a doppleganger of your car across the road! Spookadelic!

[dansansome]

thats no doppleganger, i've hunted you and your cheese and pickle sarnies down!

[bora(ing) nick]

jesus.....

Been "updating" on this thread from 8am this morning... (on and off...)

My my, i'm proud of my fellow Vagettes for acomplishing something i struggle with. Waffling!

circa 11 pages since i last logged on.

Anyway, I was sat in my car at the local morrisons, some old codger "parked" into my car . He must of been 80, and drove a 1989, G reg Lada Samara.

Theres not much damage, just a 4" long scratch to the lower rear (right) bumper.

He decided he couldn't see any damage, so i cleaned the offened area with some polish i had handy in the boot and not the scratch is clearly visable. Yet he still cant see it? bland as a bat!

Got his insurance details anyway, oh what joy!

[dansansome]

bad luck Nick, im all in favour of regular re-tests when you get to that age.

i was in a car park last week, and there were some unattended trolleys near my car, as i returned (sat in my car, engine just started), some woman was adding her trolley to the collection, as she did, the front one made a bid for freedom and slowly rolled into my front bumper. the woman just stood there going "ooh, ooh, oooh" as it bounced off, rather than stepping forward one pace, and grabbing the loose trolley. stupid cow. even stood there afterwards and said, "i dont think it hurt it" :zx11:

luckily there was no damage.

good luck getting yours sorted Nick :)

[Dudey Head]

i was in a car park last week, and there were some unattended trolleys near my car, as i returned (sat in my car, engine just started), some woman was adding her trolley to the collection, as she did, the front one made a bid for freedom and slowly rolled into my front bumper. the woman just stood there going "ooh, ooh, oooh" as it bounced off, rather than stepping forward one pace, and grabbing the loose trolley. stupid cow. even stood there afterwards and said, "i dont think it hurt it" :zx11:

luckily there was no damage.

good luck getting yours sorted Nick :)


Why think & act when you can just panic?!! :boggled:

This thread has been really boring today.

How about a good old fashioned petrol vs diesel arguement.


Diesel is a better way of propelling a car.

Yeah! I'm up for an argument :)

Diesel is by far a better way to propell a motor vehicle.... The le mans 24 hour endurance race proves it! Only diesels have won it since 2004!

Diesel Rules!

In fact that arguement is soooo pre-fuel crisis.

interesting that there is two threads for non-smoking, and then the "this bloke is a 'swear' head" thread takes on the no-smoking topic lol.

We shouldnt bother with thread titles in here...

I think Mr. Creaky Bits, that by now you should have realised that it is somewhat of a VWAF tradition to waffle about anything you can think of, apart from the topic mentioned in the thread title.



Because there are far too many stupid people in the world & it's better to be safe than sorry?!!

Nuff said... Amen to that.

At your service, Lord Fish.

Anyway, sorry for you Nick. I'm sure neither my father, or my two father-in-laws should be on the road.

Myself and Chris (my son to you lot who don't know) have a good giggle at one of my father-in-laws, who decided to re-paint the whole rear bumper of his Honda Accord after scrawping it on his gatepost. It wasn't THAT bad. So in the end cos he's as blind as a bat he's ended up with a matte green bumper on a metallic green car. Could he not have just asked for a little help from myself if he's that bothered. I spent more time re-building cars than he has spent at the dinner table.

Anyway, Lord Fish... how is the shift of death ? All those numbers, they must get on your breasts...

Paul

[Desertfish]

Anyway, Lord Fish... how is the shift of death ?

Pffffff... The night would be passing a lot quicker if there were actually some problems that needed attention... It'll be a lot healthier for my credit cards as well... :D

Anyway... one more nightshift after this one and I'm off for a few days... (two days to be exact...:()

Poor bloke.

Anyway, somebody tried to get an arguement going earlier in this thread... and yes diesels are better !

To be honest, I reckon Audi would enter a diesel F1 car. The only thing is, to make the diesel fast, they would need a turbo, which is banned in F1. So, if you hear of turbos being bought back to Formula One then expect a VAG group diesel car to enter one day. After all, as a technical exercise, it would certainly grab attention.

Back to you Lord Fish, is there something I can do to give some muppets a few problems, and therefore give you something to do ? :p

Paul

[Desertfish]

... somebody tried to get an arguement going earlier in this thread... and yes diesels are better !


Yeah... everyone so far who answered that one went for "diesel" as an answer... Not much of an argument left if everyone is ageeing...

I do agree with Audi entering F1 though. Considering that they stuck a V12 TDI in the R8 and made it go even faster than the petrol version, Audi might be able to cause some real fireworks in F1... :D. As you said though, FIA would need to allow turbo's again...

On one hand I don't see them doing so, but on the other hand, its kinda ironic that they banned turbo engines because cars were going so fast FIA felt that in the interest of safety it was better not to allow turbos anymore... But it took only two seasons for cars to go faster without turbo engines than they did before with turbo's... :biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

Aye, these guys are useless at making the cars go slower. I mean, for next year, they've taken downforce off the cars, therefore less grip. Fine, that should decrease speeds as the cars will have to slow down more. But... they've gone and bought slick tyres back ! Slick tyres = more grip ! So all the speed that was decreased they've only gone and bought it back !

Anyway, Paul B is signing off for the night. Keep plugging Lord Fish, with your swords and your Lord Fish cape, and your Black Beauty as a chariot, may you keep the blessed tinterwebnet thing running long into the night !

Oh well... I guess that BT exchange fire will not happen tonight then... :(

Right... I need some scoff... What should I have; Pizza? Kebab? Chinese Takaway with a numbel 32 egg-fly-lice...? Oh I got it: Hex69's favourite... I'll have a "shmoke and a pancake"

[Dudey Head]

Greetings arrid aquatic one! So I'm an insomniac, so what!
For the record, diesels are crap. They sound crap, make a big plume of crap when you clog 'em & they have the rev range of an asthmatic OAP on a bike! My dirty old V6 revs twice as high, sounds 'swear'ing 'swear' loads better & don't give a 'swear' if it uses twice as much fuel! That's put the cat amongst the pigeons! :D
You ordering some grub in then? I'm still off the smokes & I've still not assaulted/ killed anyone yet! :D God it's making me greedy though! Your little grub list there looks too damn good! I've got a chinese restaurant literally 5 minutes round the corner, but it'll be shut now. Poopants! :(

[MalcQV]

I was in croydon today, happily walking along, just about to cross the road when a tram came round the corner - i let it past and then noticed that it was indicating?

Indicating?

Why on earth does it need indicators?

It's not as if it could of gone straight on or right?

It HAD to follow the tracks which went left.

Trains don't have indicators, nor do roller coasters, boats don't have them.

I might fit some to my hoover, iron and son. All of which CAN turn left or indeed right without warning.
:D

That made me smile. I like the last comment about the Hoover, your son :p You should give up the day job :D

DH I only started watching F1 in 2005, never watched it ever before that. Cos of the Mondy someone bought me a Ferrari F1 book and I was just gonna bin it, but read it instead. So here I am an F1 fan (though not yet been to a race).

Diesel engines are crap, DH has said it but so will I. They create clouds of black soot, they run out of steam a 4000rpm, they sound like tractors (except the Honda diesel), you should have your own lanes at the petrol station as the stuff is greasy and stinks like 100 year old engine oil and gets all over the mats in my car.:D

As for Le Mans well that is even more boring than F1 :D. The TeDious's are in complete contrast to proper petrol propelled racing cars the're silent.:p

So to sum it up. They stink, they make a racket (unless a racing car) and produce hazardous shoe fodder.

I will probably never own a diesel.

The debate continues...

It's quiet today! :(

[dansansome]

shhh. trying to sleep.

joining in the diesel argument, diesel i think is the better fuel. the bigger the engine the more efficient (in relation to petrol engines), however diesel just cannot beat the sound that is produced by petrol engines.

i cant be bothered finding out where this diesel argument has arisen, but for me, diesel wins every time.

it's not the MPG, it's more the torque and the solidity the sound of a diesel gives me, must admit though i do like being able to run a car at a fast pace and STILL average above 30mpg :approve:

[Dudey Head]

If you want high torque at low rev's get a tractor! :p

I can understand all the diesel pros. No really I can, but the sound of the engine is pretty naf. I could live with a Honda diesel as they seem to be reasonably quiet at idle.

I won't though :D

well, it seems my alarm goes from one extreme to the other.

first it goes off uncontrollably, even while driving around. then it behaved and did what it was supposed to. now it refuses to make any noise at all. the noise of the indicators flashing is the only audible clue to the alarm being triggered now. *sigh*

Guess i need to spend £85 for a new alarm siren. dont think i can be bothered with tearing it open to replace the batteries.

I love the smell of petrol. They ought to bottle it and sell it as aftershave :biglaugh:

It reminded me of being in kid in the car. When my pa used to fill the car up, the initial smell of the petrol was great. So much so I used to look forward to it.

I don't know now what all the fuss was about, maybe you just get used to it because you are constantly filling the car with the stuff :p

Seems like I have entered the cafe while empty. Am I to be served quicker ? Oh yeah... that's not the point.

It seems the diesel vs petrol thing was an eternity ago. Well, after seeing the boss at work maybe it is !

But I bet if a diesel powered F1 car became a success then these petrol heads would be converted ! :p

I've lost track as to where this thread is now...

Paul

Well... reading trough all the posts of today, I can somewhat understand where the "petrol-pro committee" is coming from, at least where the sound of a diesel is concerned.

When I was given an 1.9 TDi MK5 Golf to use for a few weeks I was amazed about the torque of it, but it did somewhat sound like a lorry (was the reason why Ex-Ms. D'fish hated it). Then a few months ago when I got my new car, I initialy went to the dealer to look at a black 1.9 TDi 130 PD Bora. Started it up and there was the lorry sound again... But when I got in the Passat with exactly the same engine I was amazed of the difference in sound... It wasn't the only reason I drove away with the Passat instead but it surely helped in my decision.

Besides, Mr. EE is right as well... the torque produced by diesel engines nowadays is amazing. I learned how to drive in a diesel 17 years ago. If you compare the engines of that time with what they're producing now there is lightyears difference. I'm not smoking any GTi's (will need to wait for my remap for that) but I'm keeping up with them without trouble. I think that says enough about diesels...

[MalcQV]

Well my thread is coming along nicely now, though tis others who speak testicular words not me, ohhh nooo not at all sdfsd ergt srtgaera GNNNNN FMNNNNNNN rfdRTTTTTT guffaw guffaw :crying::eek::bigeyes2::boggled::dunno::fing02::gr ouphug::hitwithro

Paul if F1 turns diesel then I will stop watching it, cos Ferrari will no longer participate.:D Ferrari do not make diesels.

I do think it will go green though. Next year they are doing this regenerative crap. Bolox it is, how hypocritical can it be, motor racing is pure pleasure how can it possibly be green?

I drove the Ford S-Max the other week and the diesel engine was superb torque and all. They are quiet at speed, much more so than a petrol cos they are still ticking over. I just can't get used to the idle noise and the lack of revs.

Each to their own. Diesels make far more green sense than all this hybrid crap ;).

[MalcQV]

Administrators, could we please have the thread title back to VAG Cafe? I rather like it and it is mine.

Thankyou.

[MalcQV]

Friday afternoon bolox, great fun.

BTW, the is post #899 in this thread, will it be on 1000 by Monday?

Look at the contributers. Mine are all 100% class of course :biglaugh:

[MalcQV]

I am getting like Mr Fish, talking to myself :p

Sorry for leaving you on your own there Mr QV... Was out getting some scoff to help me get trough my graveyardshift...

[Desertfish]

Actually I do disagree with you there on that point... All forms of motorsport are generally for pleasure appart from F1 and Road Rallying... You'd be surprised how much stuff is tested out in those area's and eventually makes it into production cars...

Take traction control for example... what do you think the testing ground was for that one...?

[Desertfish]

Besides... I've lost my love for F1 years ago when at the 2002 Austrian Grand Prix, Barichello was asked to move over for Schumacher and give the win to them... Oh and what cars were they driving... Wasn't it that same brand that was accused in 2007 for espionage and sabotage...?

Stupid stunts like that are the real danger for F1 loosing its appeal... not the fact that they want to pioneer green technology... I really don't see whay innovation and fun can't go hand in hand...

[Desertfish]

Talking to myself again... Oh well, at least this time I have a good excuse... "I'm doing my bit in bringing us a little closer to post No. 1000 by Monday...:D

[Desertfish]

And is someone needs to call me "monologuing madman" again for that, then so be it... :D

"Monologiung..." Is that actually a real verb? Hmmm... need to contemplate that one for a bit...

[Desertfish]

Actually... and Oxford Dictionary of English might also help with that one... :D

[Desertfish]

Sorry for leaving you on your own there Mr QV... Was out getting some scoff to help me get trough my graveyardshift...

And still no reply... 9:30 in the evening and they are all gone already... Can't be that everyone goes to Bedforshire that early on a Friday... :(

[Desertfish]

Oh... hang on a sec. I just figured that one out. Need to make a note about it for myself so I don't forget :
Everyone else has a life you stupid git...!

Should have though of that before took the job tending 1's and 0's... Job description should have said:

"Be willing to completely ruin your social life...!"

[Desertfish]

Oh well... 940 posts... only 60 to go before we hit the big 1000 (hopefully before monday).

Erm... 256MB of RAM is not enough to run XP my friend. Especially as you have on board graphics and sound eating into you memory as well... Celeron processors are slow but I'm affraid that your main problem is the amount of RAM in your system. If I were you, I'd go for at least 1GB of memory.

Sore head this morning? :)

On with the kitchen fitting for me! Wall painting is finished, most of the units are assembled, I've just got to get the old ones out and tile the floor today.

[Col]

It is Saturday and the forecast is not good.

Has been dry here up until the heavy shower we've just had.

Clouds are moving fast from the South West.

Looks like the day is going to be a washout in terms of cleaning the old banger.

Is it raining where you are?

[RichardCranium]

Banging in down here:( ..and on my birthday as well. Pah

Been lashing almost ever since my post above.

There was so much I wanted to do outside today as well. Instead I've got two kids here with cabin fever

[k9max]

Weather report from the South East....
Been raining on and off since lunchtime, had showers yesterday morning briefly but other than that it's been bone dry and very humid!!! The worst of the weather seems to avoid us here.

[Ben]

Its been inclement here in coventry today as well.

could do with dry tomorrow, not fussed about sunsheine but no rain would be ideal.

[MalcQV]

Evening. Been persisting down all day more or less. Still trying to remove a £$%^ing bolt from the bottom of the shocker on the Mondy. Attempting to drill the £$&@#rd out but it keeps blunting my drill bits. Down to B&Q tomorrow to get an angle grinder and cold chisel :(

DF mate I know F1 develops technology for road use, (that alone can't justify it surely) but I was pointing to the fact that it is trying to be greener. For it to be green it has to cease ;)

It is like me saying my Mondy is green cos it only does about 1000 miles a year. It ain't because apart from the 60 miles appx. I use it for work (two return trips a year on average) it is all for pleasure no purpose whatsoever other than pure enjoyment. That can never be green :Blush:

[paul b]

I decided to do what I was going to do... in the rain.

I've built a new garden shed, well... assembled it. ;)

Got soaked. I hate the weather. It's <swear>ing useless !

Maybe not.
The bottom bolt of the shocker (Mondy) I mentioned a few pages ago is still sat there after being chiseled, drilled and ground as well as having seven shades of crap knocked out of it. I hate Italian **** heaps. If it was not for the fact that body panels are not only expensive but difficult to obtain it would now be full of hammer marks :zx11:

OMG. My A6 now has a proper scratch on the front bumper, on the offside corner. Obviously the wife has done it, yet she claims she hasn't ! It's not been hit by another car, there isn't another colour of paint, it's been bumped into something concrete or similar ! :zx11:

I'm deeply disappointed with you all.....

I expected to see at least another half dozen pages of utter waffle when i logged on this morning to get us closer to that 1000 mark.

I couldn't contribute due to computer problems at home... so i excuse myself :)

[Desertfish]

Hey... don't look at me... I've done my bit of waffling... nearly done two pages of mad monologue on my own again... :approve:

Reminds me of the joke about the Invisible Man and Superman

Superman is flying over Metropolis keeping his eyes vigilant for anything that he may be of need. Suddenly, a naked figure laying on top of a roof in a complete spread eagle position catches his eye. He has super vision after all. Then he realized that it is his girlfriend Lois Lane! He pondered this for a short minute and decided he may swoop down there, do some super fast and fun “super-action” and swoop out. He is faster than a bullet so of course Lois wouldn’t even know he was ever there.
Suddenly - a very fast wind and loud swoosh noise catches Lois’s attention and she says “What on Earth was that?”. The Invisible Man says “I have no idea but my @$$ is killing me”.

Heinz tomato soup for my dinner. It had a use by date the end of August. I brought it in on Friday only to find it was that old you need a tin opener thing to get in.

Tin opener fetched today and soup consumed. It was a bucket sized can and I am feeling rather full. Most likely be $h1771ng through the eye of a needle all day now (or some other strange thing) well all that liquid has to go somewhere??
