Been lurking awhile but decided that males are poorly served in this coven,thought I'd be safe from
as live below sea level but have seen evidence that she could wittle a snorkle.Also realised that as a
originated in Holland it will work at low level
(still perhaps she's busy embroidering welsh dragons on her knickers ). Need a recipe for sticky biscuit dough to fix to my fly swatter for DIY garibaldies. 
. Glad to be here if you'll have me . Roy.

Hi Seth
thank god for another bloke, we are knee deep in shoppin lists and handbags here,
the few of us that survive around the edges of this amazon jungle of girlyness welcome you with open arms (well we would if we could put the bloomin washing basket down )
my favourite recipe for garibaldi (or more accurately sticky brown stuff) dough is
2 parts finishing plaster
1 part Portland cement
2 cups used engine oil
and dandruff to taste
they taste bloody AWFULL !! and you break your teeth regularly BUT nobody pinches them !!
great idea about flies in there i use beetle's but they are a bit crunchy
come back soon we need backup
ps bring your own mug and we will put another nail in the shed wall
welcome brother, sit a while and kick off your shoes ,(but put them on the rack or the comes out )
TTFN MOS (you dont get kisses yr a bloke )
OH alright just one x
Naaaah i take it back cant kiss blokes its icccky x-x =

Tried centipedes dipped in marmite last night tickley twiglets went quite well with my smashed monkey sarnie (Ladies it's corn beef ,never be the same again will it ?) takes a little while and a few
before they drown.

just tried the centipeeds !! bloody horrible ,i don't like MARMITE.
like the sound of smashed monkey
corned beef and red sauce is known as blood and thunder here (for obvious reasons)
glad yr karsi if draught proofed ,and just in time for those winter winds ,you never know where they come from but know just where they go to 
mite just crochet myself a pair of long-johns with attached hard hat for those longer articles ,
i tried chargrilling woodlice but they kept walking off the grill
and on a seriouse note they taste like shrimps yummi !! MOS.

- head above parapet ,all clear,removes tin hat ,sits on it now. Once upon a time a czeck oligarch returned to his home village in the forest to meet his first grandchild.Peacefully sitting in the sun nursing the child he was attacked by 2 bears one of whom snatched the child and swallowed it whole ! The old man got up and rushed to find the forest ranger and together they set off in on the trail of the bears.After a short time they came across the bears asleep in a clearing,"That's the one,that's the one"said the old man pointing to the bigger boy bear.The ranger raised his gun, BANG ,the surviving bear woke up and fled into the forest. You've shot the wrong one shouted the old an.The ranger strode across the clearing pulled out his knife split open the bear put his hand inside and retrieved the still sleeping child. "But how did you know that the baby was in the girl when I told you it was in the boy"? 'Well' said the ranger 'I'm a country man and learnt years ago never to believe anyone who tells you that the czeck is in the male!.'
