I had all my kids around me the other night, that doesn't happen often.

I brought up one of my fears, I announced that I don't ever want to live in a vegetative state dependent on a machine and fluids from a bottle, and that they should respect my wishes.

They then took the plug off my computer and slung my wine out........

:)

Yup. Be careful what you ask for.

I can get along without the wine but my social life would be ruined without my computer.

Take away the whine but not the wine. I'z likes the wine

Hahaha....Thanks Bruv. We need some fluffy threads to lighten up the board at times.

I'd whine if you took away my wine.

Not to be argumentative and I'm not attempting to derail this thread but I can't help but notice the way humorous is spelled. No U after the first O. Which leads me to believe that Americans spell humor correctly after all. Ha!

Bruv's an AMERICAN??!?!?!?!?

No, and that adds even more weight to my brilliant argument.

It does, doesn't it?

(Is that REALLY a question?)

You venomous haridon you. How could you possibly imagine that a language as complex as Hinglish can be spelt proper like what we do.

It's just lazy that you leave the "U" out . Spelling humorous is not clever and not funny you know

Funny, that is exactly what my Aunt Nell, told me back in '57.

Aunt Nell? Is that YOU???

We been wondering what happened to you after you run off with that English chap.

Did you just call me a hardon or do I need new glasses?

Yes. You're a venomous hardon if you are American and like to subtract arbitrary letters from perfectly good words

So, alcoholism and social disorders are considered humorouuus now eh?

I think you missed a ewe.

You can pack that up. I wont have words with added letters. There are far too many "u"s and they're not even in the right place. Jeeeez ! The grammatical integrity of the English speaking world in going to Hull in a handbasket.

And if you had ever been to Hull, you would know where I am coming from

Do they have sheep there?

Yep. Just across the river from Ottawa.

But then, THEY talk funny English, there, too.

Ahhh, I see what you did there. Did my smilie not show up at the end. Sorry bout the extra U'sss but us in the US dont't get to use U's as often so we get nervouus sometimes when typing them.

Speaking of Sheep, I got to help a friend with Running of the Sheep Reed Point MT 2012 - YouTube

A far less salubrious place I'm afraid. More like the actual Hell, is Hull. I went there in the 70's and everything was in black and white, with a few shades of grey. Only a few mind, not 50. It wasn't THAT exciting

I have to say, the thrill of running with the sheep is hardly the same as facing a herd of large irritated horned critters.

But is a great excuse for sharing a few beers.

A handful of sheep run alone, overlooked by a couple of large shepherds on quad bikes ?

Is that living in the fast lane Montana style ?

I have found that they have a similar event in New Zealand.

They move the sheep from summer pasture to winter camp, and find it cheaper to just run them through town than all the trouble and expense of packing them on trucks and hauling them.

It has been going on for the better part of a century, but in the last few decades, they made a party of it. It seems to attract a lot of tourists, and brings in some extra kibble for the locals.

The quads are a fairly recent innovation.
