POLL: the final step before ninth_wave reveals all!

quote:

know that the club isn't that exclusive

So long as you can take as much stick as you give everything wiil be fine, some exchanges may seem a little exclusive, but that's when you kick down the door to join in, all part of the fun

If the pics are hosted on your own site Thurston it is OK to use them but if you are not hosting yourself this is called hot linking and is quasi-illegal and can be considered theft of bandwidth.for example I used one of your images last week on another thread on here "I am lazy" https://community.auctiva.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/455609321/m/3081050762/p/1 and I hosted it on Auctiva. So in short if the pics on emotipics are yours I see no reason you cannot post them here. I have never actually heard of an individual getting in trouble for it. But...
Edit: More than likely you already knew this but I am going to leave the post for others to see that may not be aware of this.
Edit/Edit

I am testing straight from your site to see if your links work with this pic. Hope you do not mind?
Did not work for me I uploaded the image to Auctiva and it should now, kind of strange if you ask me!

Wow, JeffS why on earth did you use off-the-shelf avatar pic when you have your own great picture like that, have enlarged it up to take a closer look.

With such a shine to the paintwork suggests its a preserved engine working a mainline special, right ?

Mainline, oh yes. Chesapeake & Ohio #614, that last passenger steam engine manufactured by the Lima works in 1948. A 4-8-4 Northern class (called the "Greenbrier" on C&O), it was freshly restored when these mainline runs were made between Hoboken NJ and Port Jervis NY on the old Erie mainline. The 90 mile trips were a sight to behold, with speeds up to 79mph on some sections. These trips were run in 1996 - 98 in the fall (8 trips each fall) and the summer of 97 (4 trips) when I was lucky enough to ride one. In Port Jervis NY they restored an aging turntable that was just barely large enough to turn the engine so that it could be on the head end for the return trip.

Google C&O 614 and you'll find lots of hits, and a number of sites with my pictures (including the full size original of my avatar). In all, I took hundreds of photos and hours of video.

Here's one to start you off:

http://piercehaviland.com/rail/co614.htm

You'll find many more online.

There's also several dozen videos on YouTube of the Erie Mainline specials that I just discovered! I'm sure some of them will show this engine at it's best. This link should get you there:

That must be the K-4 I saw at Steamtown 10 years ago. I have a picture of it somwehere with the smokebox open and the boiler shield removed. You can see all the firetubes with the superheaters running through them.

I certainly don't mind. I think I know why we can't link directly - something to do with this sites forum software. If you see the links page to that image you'll notice 2 different types of forum links. Some forums support them, some don't. I suspect this is one of the latter. PM me (here if you can or on ASM) if you'd like further details.

Alright now! There is NOT enough silliness goin' on here!

JeffS, your pic is awesome! Have to agree with Choo on the avi. I live two blocks from a track intersection so it can be loud when they go through - often. Especially when there's a North wind. Once used to the loudness, I enjoy listening to the different whistles.
When my grandkids were here during the summer, my grandson (six come Groundhog Day) would get all excited and run out back to stand up in a chair and watch, just mesmerized. Or best is when his sister or I would hold him up at the fence cause it's closer. He loves all things train! Holding him, I could feel it's soothing to him. I won't be surprised if they're somehow a big part of his adult life.
To me, in the distance, it's such a lonesome sound. Not here though.

So does this mean the showdown is over? I still say what'd I miss? Did I sleep too long? What time zone are we in?
Is it time to change our avis back? I'm suppose to be howlin' at the moon now. Think I'll go change it.

Taz, I should've known what you were up to! You don't make a good spy though. Yep, cookies are all spoken for!
As for the DeLorean, it's MINE next! Don't you go tryin' to get it first! I've got dibs!! Miss M said!

Keep after Choo, Miss M. Surely he'll tell us eventually!
Come'on Choo! Give us just a tiny little hint. Please!!

Hi Pete!

Thurston! Welcome to th' Asylum! No exclusive club here, just folks' reluctance to post. Still can't figure that one out. hmmmm
Anyway, glad to see you and JeffS hangin' around. And N too.

Does that mean we're not SO crazy after all (hah! not a chance!)? Or are ya'll just venturin' on over to the darkside? Cookies are all gone but Taz might have some pretzels left. Ya might ask Miss M 'bout some o' them rats too. I bet she'd be happy to share!

Off in search o' that sweet li'l fly. OMG! Now which wall to start with!

edit: Holy cow! That's forever long! Have I used up my allotment for th' week?

Hi Shadeaux, I thought all this steam buff stuff frightened you girls off, yes it was getting eerily sane around here.

Well even with all the new recruits appearing here the playing field is still relatively level boys to girls all though I am sure you and Ms M can be a lot sillier than us, none can beat the freezer rats yet, and 'witch' of you was it with the broom stick ?

I have already called Taz treachorous for confusing me, the train wrecking literally got derailed when JeffS blinded us with his pictures of his enormous engine !

Ms M won't accept a VIP ticket, do you want it instead seeing as you are both being greedy with the DeLorean, where are you Pete, time for another mutant Tele-tubbied attack

quote:

yes it was getting eerily sane around here.

Yes, and we just can't have that.

I wonder if Miss M will still have those rats whenever it may be that I go see her.

That train derailing, those pics are just somethin'! Yes, I know, quite the understatement there.
I'm sending that link to my granddaughter so she can show it to her little brother. They'll both enjoy that. Thanks JeffS.

I just don't know what to do with Taz. His sweetie needs to get back and straighten 'im out. Or would that be pretzel shape 'im.

I'm not bein' greedy with the DeLorean. It's mine next, fair an' square. Taz is tryin' to take cuts, and I don't know what's keepin' Miss M so long with it. Maybe I will take that VIP ticket after all, thank you.

edit: I know it's gettin' late for ya Choo. I may not be here when ya go nighty night. So sweet dreams. I'll be waitin' on that ticket. 'Course I'm still waitin' on that check from Miss M too. (love ya missy.)

Aha, someone did not read the small print about the VIP ticket a page or to back, he, he, he, too late now

You'll need to cast a web of protection around you otherwise the fly's litle spider could end up a flat as a bug on the windshield

Oh Noooooooo!!!!!!!!
!zaT dna enoz emit 'ht no ti emalb I

Stop th' train!!!! Nooooooo!!!
Ohhh help me my li'l fly!!! Hellllllp meeeeee pleeeeeeease! I've trapped myself!

"flat as a bug on the windshield"... I'll never have th' guts to do that again!

I'm a goner!

OH MY goodness, sorry Jeff, forgot about the Cap no no......I can't keep up here. I had a bunch of sales the last two days!!!!! yeah!!!!
newbie is happy......
I glanced over the "choo'ss" on here- omg all of them, (and I like Jeff's best) and read briefly...I barely know ya all and I gotta figure out which choo is whoo.
I'm getting ready to leave on a 15 night vacation in sunny Cabo San Lucas.....I cannot wait to see the sun!!!
Gotta close up my store for two weeks ...now I have to figure that out!
Yep it's bloody fun to see the sun in the winter.
Hola mi amigos, and adios for the next few hours.

OH yeah maybe I should say this choo has left the station for now, be back online, track, soon!

Hey everybody....Miss S we keep missing each other here..
""I wonder if Miss M will still have those rats whenever it may be that I go see her""
Well, the darn things are still in my freezer, so maybe (psycho lunatic)
OK the DeLorean is yours now, just be sure to give it to Taz when you're done with it
I want my eyes back, I'm lost without my x-ray power, but the train has gotta stay for now - maintenence - tomorrow morning for sure

EDI - Oh alright, I cheated for now to get my eyes back Boy that sounds kinda creepy doesn't it

Jeffs yes Steamtown around 10 years ago sounds right. K-4 #1361 in it's full glory

Miss S not trying to usurp the Delorean just asking to utilize it after your due course!
Even if I have to outfit it with the Trash Compactor!

OK all new topic! Dum-Dum of the day question! Anyone game?

Originally posted by TazFromPA:

Because they don't read the listing.

I got an email the other night for an item I had up for sale . "Does this unit include the manual?"

Listing stated no manual included.

Guys bids. Then sends me an email telling me to cancel his bid, because he didn't know it the unit was without the manual.

#1 - I never read any of this until the auction ended.
#2 - cancel your own damn bid.
#3 - read the listing, idiot.

And all this from a user with feedback in the high hundreds. You'd think he'd know better.

Fortunately he got outbid, so I didn't have to deal with a jerk who wouldn't have paid anyway because he'd claim "I made a mistake" or "you didn't cancel my bid."

quote:

Fortunately he got outbid,

Another good reason not to cancel a buyers bid even if they ask, let them do it and it ends up on their profile as a bid retraction.

For all you know he does it a lot and by getting the seller to do the cancelling keeps him squeaky clean.

If you had cancelled and there was only one other bidder of course the sale price would have been the start price. There is a chance they would fend of a genuine bidder but thats part of the 'game'.

Quote : "wouldn't have paid anyway because he'd claim "I made a mistake" or "you didn't cancel my bid."

Don't think this would hold any water in an unpaid dispute because as I expect you are aware he could have cancelled.

That's e-life

So, choo, and you are choo this time, the crux of this is that it's best to "make" them cancel the bid rather than me doing it....right?
Jeff's post looks funny! Lots of blue space from my vantage point!
It looks as if it was a BIG picture!

Edit wait, now it looks like a little choo choo..

Just a quick HI before I'm off to work..

N - the buyer would have to retract, the seller cancels. But it's a moot point once the auction is over..Then there is a winner (or whiner, as the case may be) and they'll either pay or they won't. Most bidders don't even know HOW to retract a bid, and even then it's only allowed under certain circumstances or the seller can report the person. However a seller can cancel any bids s/he wants, that's their call. But in JeffS' case, the auction was already over...nothing to be done.

Hi N, JeffS's picture is of a big choo choo alright it's just that he has uploaded a large picture and sometimes on my slow PC it is showa as abig blue space or full size image momentarily then shrinks down to avatar size.

If you expand it it up you will find the picture is of a massive steam engine in full flight, impressive machine and photograph.

Regards cancelling, definately, they messed up let them take the blame and if they don't and someone outbids them you are even beter off !

If you cancel it and then they change their mind afterwards they may complain to eBay about dubious practice/favouring other buyers, need to be on your guard.

I would never cancel a buyers bid except in exceptional circumstances, but I will readily block any that have messed me around so they don't do it again.

edit - Hi Ms M have fun

Leaving now, Choo

I see you wait til I'm almost gone to make an appearance I think you like it when I ignore you That way you can make sure you don't get a whackin.

I'm sure you read that I gave Miss S the DeLorean but not to worry..WE will take good care of it, but when Taz gets his turn, well...let's just say it was a nice car while it lasted

I have a disclaimer in all my auctions that states "PLEASE do not bid without first emailing me for permission if you have any negative feedback in the past 30 days or you have less than 10 feedback. I reserve the right to cancel any bids that do not meet this criteria!' Also this piece "All PayPal payments must be shipped to a confirmed address.
Due to a problem with a less than honest buyer I must insist on this."
Very few people actually email and I have only cancelled 2 bids despite having alot of bidders with zero feedback.
Miss M!

You are going to pay dearly for that one!

Anyone interested in seeing any more pictures of 614, at rest and in motion? I'll just post them as attachments to a message.

I've been up for hours Ms M, what's your excuse ?

Not sure whether Taz was fitting a garbage compacter to soup her up or to repair the damage inflicted by you two shopping for next season's fashions by going a year ahead and buying them at post season prices

How could I ignore someone with your personality, charm, wit and rat cudgel

Sure Jeff I am interested and virtually positive Choo is also! Right Choo?

No, got to disagree with you wholeheartedly on this approach Taz ...

I am glad to say I have not had to resort to this in my listings, as a buyer I would think what a nasty piece of work this seller must be and avoid them like the plague, what's he going to be like if I find a fault or there is a problem.

You can block buyers who are negative and received what is it 2 upaid strikes in the last 30 days, and cancel at will anyway so why say it, no I would not apply aggressive text.

I would rather deal with the odd time waster and subsequently block them rather than add an aggressive piece of text to my listing.

I looked at the pro's and con's very closely over many sellers before I started seriously selling and decided to keep the t's & c's part of my listing very concise and freindly with enough protection to give me the strength to deal firmly with time wasters.

I have a firm belief that aggressive wording loses money or even excessive freindlier texts of which some are mind boggling to the equivelent of a large sheet of typed paper worth of do' and don'ts, I never buy from these sellers.

Besides many buyers don't even read the descriptions, postage or any other details so why would they bother reading your version of the riot act, the only ones who would are more likely to be the nervous innocent ones.

I find that buyers who are new certainly below a profile of 10 bid wildy and prices will always be higher than from experienced buyers. When buying I do not try to outbid these people as they will get carried away, so why frighten them off due to the odd timewasters, think again Taz my friend, it's not good business to scare off the highest bidders around.

Hi JeffS my 'No' was in answer to Taz's listing information, didn't see his reply to you until I posted.

Yes, regarding image attachment if it can be done via the private message route as I prefer to keep my anonimity (if I could spell it ) at present.

Awww Taz, I know ya still love me Besides, Miss S and I want you to hot rod that car into the ground...Choo is EXTREMELY paranoid and won't even tell me his real name (privately). So this is what you get Choo

Looks like I'm the only one with no life tonite so I'll probably be talking to myself, but I usually do that anyway so I guess it won't make much difference.

BTW, Miss S and I tried to use Auctiva for messaging but it doesn't seem to work..if anyone can figure it out let me know.

No posts for over 12 hours! This will not do!
Alert the authorities, Dial 911(I tried that but couldn't find the eleven on my phone?),Declare a national emergency! (Well it is you know!) More like international cannot forget our English contingency

Hey Mr Taz,

How ya be? Oh you're right, we cannot have this!! Where is everyone? I think Choo is mad at me for letting you have the car after Miss S... He probably eas expexting to get it back in one piece Not gonna happen Choo!

I can't find the 11 button on my phone either

(Taz are you blond BTW?????)

quote:

(Taz are you blond BTW?????)

Now Miss M I have to keep some aura of mystery about me don't I?

No you don't

There's a couple of posts about folks not being able to access Auctiva, one said s/he was from the UK. Maybe Choo is having some kind of problem?? (Well we know he has problems but I mean with his computer)

Just posted on that one Miss M. But if he can access here then Choo should be able to also.. Just like when maintenance happens the community is still up.

I am trying to figure out how to close my store for 2 weeks.....I just have to pick one way or another.
I am listening to my International language learner....Learning Spanish in your car....had to bring it out for a refresher...all I could remember was dunde el banyo!!
Guess that's all I need to know! hee hee.
Ms M is that 8880?
I figured out Ms S YAY!!
Also trying to decide whether or not to take the laptop.....if I do I will check in here all the time.....if I have access. Shucks! that's not a vacation, right?
So who owns the car? And why is it circulating???

Hola N Que tal? Como esta? Muy bien aqui. No problema que encuentra el bano
Miss M is 8880, the car is community property and only a figment of our rampant imaginations! How in ever got in Miss M's hands we will never know. Believe she and Miss S were going to do the Thelma and Louise thing and drive it over a cliff!

Ahh, as I commented yesterday about the charm of Ms M "Well we know he has problems"

And the wit (and smelling) of Ms M :-

"He probably eas expexting to get it back in one piece Not gonna happen Choo!"

Ms M answers my other question, Taz's garbage compacter is to be used to repair the DeLorean

And not forgetting the frozen rat cudgel :-

"That way you can make sure you don't get a whackin."

On the day of reckoning Ms M will have a book of her own

Here is how to put your store on vacation. http://pages.ebay.com/help/specialtysites/placing-store-vacation.html

Hey Choo posting at the same time as me I see! Jinx you owe me a cold frosty one!HMMM? Over there you guys drink it warm don't you?

What, it was the sequel model it can fly, grooan ...

Why don't any one read the manual, whoops mustn't get Taz going again, you didn't read that Taz, ok

quote:

drink it warm don't you?

Yep, thick, dark and warm, not like fizzy fly p**, (no offence to our MIA spider and fly)

Particularly to the spider last seen speeding west on a cow catcher to spider-heaven, ninth fly has not come to rescue his spider ?


Now Ms N catch up please, the DeLorean is as real as our imagination, and we are only using that because Pete waltzed off to Germany with the Tardis and left us stranded in the 21st century. Clear ?

Well Choo I captured a few little birdies for special occasions such as this. Time for there maiden voyage. Going to send them overseas
All in good fun of course lest anyone gets the wrong idea! just got a call from Magoo's have to go to work. have a good un all

si senor~Los Cabos.

Muchos Gracias....I had read that,but don't know which option to choose. Seems to me like closing the whole thing down would be best and least problematic.
Anyone ever done the vacation thing?

Aha Ms N. Yes I drive and I like the idea of the fancy car. I am dangerous, had one wreck in my life....2 yrs ago...bad one but I was unscathed! Car was totally totalled.!

Tu hablo espanol?
dunda el banyo and cuanto cuesta? all I need to know!!! Los Cabos is very Americanized. almost need no hispanol!
I can't write it!

Maybe I could have the "car" while I'm down there. Cheaper than renting, no?

Miss S do you see this! Aarrgghh
Men are SO annoying (Yeah, like we're not)
Actually we're gonna do the Thelma & Louise thing WITHOUT the driving off a cliff part...we're gonna stop at Taz's, pick up the pieces of the DeLorean, and go deliver it to Choo. OOps can't forget Pete - we'll need to pick up some boxers for him as long as we're there. Or maybe a thong, whatcha think?

Sorry N, no car for you..Taz will have it in little pieces by then

How about this for Pete?? Opinions?

*screamin' from cattle guard*
Aaaggghhhh!!!!!!!!! Miss M!! My eyes!!! My Eyes!!!!
That hurts MY EYES!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe you'd torture a spider so when in such distress!!

Heeellllp meeeee!!

What?? You don't think Pete would like it?

You know I'm not trying to torture you, that's ninth's job

I think poor Pete will be in shock!

No comment.

OMG this may be toooo racey a group for me......my goodness!
That hat he's wearing sure looks funny to me.

I thought he'd be back by now ?? And what do you mean 'no comment'? You always have a comment I'm gonna get Pete about 10 pair of these, all in different neon colors.

Haven't seen much of ninth lately around here either...he's probably waiting for more cookies from ya

OK so you have the DeLorean now, Taz gets it next. And Choo never gets it back
'Coz I have to wonder about anyone who would drink their beer warm..ewww Ice cold for me even in ice cold weather

Miss M. what are you trying to do, get us all sick?! That pic is an abomination of the highest order, an obscenity beyond comprehension, a massive assault upon our sensibilities.

As for Miss S., you are quite correct, I do love to torture my tricky little spyder, and do so at every opportunity. That's what she gets for fooling me into her web. Don't worry my little arachnid, your fly will rescue you soon! I only have to figure out which of the 1000 images of you is the REAL you! I only have 999 more tries. Hang-on, almost there!

Miss M, I missed your previous post. My eyes are in such shock, I can hardly see!!
You'd think these guys surely know by now we've got more sense than to drive off a cliff. hmmmm I did fall into Choo's trap and have myself stuck on the cattle guard though. I guess you know what that means!

When I get rescued from here, I say we head out Mexico way First. No, now... I insist!

Too racey a group, Ms N? Surely you jest! I didn't even notice th' hat. It's the shoes that got my giggle box goin'!

edit: I knew my li'l fly hero would be here to save me!
Here I am... over here... barely hangin' on!!!

What's the matter ninth? You don't think those are the sexiest underwear you've ever seen? (I thought those were the kind YOU wear)

Oh boy, I'm gonna be in for it now
Help Miss S! Should I delete the picture?? Is it that bad?

This was one of those "crate of kleenex" pictures...someone at work had the bright idea to show this to me there...it took me quite awhile to pull myself together

Miss S..what is cattle guard?????

Oh heck, gotta go..hope you guys will be back later

quote:

Miss S..what is cattle guard?????

Oops! I see I'm confused yet again. Choo's got me on the cow catcher.
A cattle guard is a row of big pipes or boards placed where fences are open, like an open gate. They're spaced apart enough to prevent cattle crossing and getting out.

Underwear?! Is that what that is? How could it be the kind of underwear I wear, when I don't even wear underwear?! Have you ever seen a fly with underwear on? If you have, then I'm not sure I want to take what you are on.

Don't worry my bulbous little honey, only a few more tries, I only have 998 left to go! Won't be long now, hold-on tight!

quote:

How could it be the kind of underwear I wear,

Am I glad to hear that!!!!

Holdin' on tight!
edit: like this one better. lol

"Am I glad to hear that!!
Holdin' on tight! "

Not to worry my sweet little eight-legged creature of the night. No underwear does your little fly wear. (What do you think I am, a cross-dresser?!)

Oh no! I'm getting train smoke in all my eyes! The rescue effort is being hampered, and it's all Choo's fault!

quote:

(What do you think I am, a cross-dresser?!)

Oh no, no my little fly! Unless your glist'ning gauzy wings and super hero cape make it so. Holdin' on tight... careful not to tangle your cape in all my legs lest we both be caught in the smoke!

We'll use my super-hero cape to shield our eyes from the evil smoke of Choo (and the prying eyes of lurkers, while I give you a bite or two )(hey, that rhymes!) Wrap those eight legs around me (oh my!)but not too tight, then away from Choo we will fly, off into the night.(and you didn't think your little fly was a poet. )

Oh goodie, I'm back...just in time too my computer is almost in flames again.
GAR anyone????

Hey how bout these for ninth C'mon, you know you love them...



EDIT--wow, never expected them to be so big! (Take that any way you want to)

Well now....Those ARE quite spiffy. I might be persuaded to just try them on, only one time you understand, us flys have our reputations to consider. Hmmmmmmmm....

"wow, never expected them to be so big! (Take that any way you want to)"

There's only ONE way I can take that! Hmmmmmm...?

I had a feeling you'd like them

Miss S, I found an avatar you might like :



Whatcha think?? I already know ninth likes it

quote:

and you didn't think your little fly was a poet.

I wonder how, my little fly, you think this in your pretty head. You cloak us in your hero cape and protect us from such dread... as we fly away...

Wow Miss M, you found the perfect ones, undies and avi both. Of this I do swear, even under oath.

Miss S, Your rhymes do so charm. Much closer, Oh please do, and we'll go arm in arm.

We can handle anything. And I think we're DSB's but I'm not sure...We've probably been called worse than that

Now it does seem I saw you say this somewhere back there, maybe waaaaay back there on this thread? Maybe not. hmmm
One thing I think we know for sure... it doesn't happen for either of us very often.

"I have no further comment either (for the first time in my life)"

Hey youse ain't so dumb, musta been born wit a big brain. NOT like me...DUH!

Right you are Miss S..doesn't happen to us too often. (I think I DID say that once before, waaaay back when)

Ninth, you sound very 'Chicago'

Well, of course, I was there ONCE ya know.

edit - AND saw a few Al Capone movies.

Oh you were, were ya??
The gangsters used to talk that way...hmmmmm..and don't tell me you're related to Al Capone

I've seen all his movies, and I visited Alcatraz, does that make us related? Oh i do hope so.

I hate to leave such good company. Got myself a hot date here in a bit.

My sweet pretty fly, I'm forever indebted to you for rescuing me from the wrath of Choo's cow catcher! (not to be confused with a cattle guard) Now don't you worry 'bout that hot date. I'll tuck you right in my pocket and keep you near.

edit: Got so excited I forgot to say bye. Have a great evenin'/night/mornin' ya'll!

Whew! You had me real worried there, but your little smooch makes me feel muuuuuch better!

You had me real worried there,

No worries my super hero. Glad the smooch cleared that up. Sooooo glad!

Awwwww....

Aren't these 2 just too cute together???

Should we take a vote here?

1. Don't they just make ya want to puke?
2. Don't ya just want to whack/hose/Raid 'em? (That's MY vote)
3. Do you think they're really romantic and will sail off into the sunset together? (gag)
4.Or are they both right where they belong, in the Auctiva Asylum?
5. No Comment?

C'mon people, lets hear your votes..you already know mine

Number 2 definitely! Miss M, you little vixen, how did you happen to catch that photo of me!
I knew you were part of the Stalkerazzi!
I told meself should have worn me fuzzy pink Steel-toed bunny slippers that day!
Edit Whack em , raid em, and hose em is my vote

Hey Taz,

Yep, caught ya on a good day didn't I Too bad you weren't wearing those awesome fuzzy pink steel-toed bunny slippers..what a picture THAT would make.

I knew you'd be with me on this one..
Whack em ~ Raid em ~ Hose em

But I have a feeling even all three combined won't stop those two

My vote is #1 - "Don't they just make ya want to puke?"

However in their defence they brought this thread back on topic with their compelling lovey-dovey ('scuse me, puke) threading

Ms M needs #2, one minute the DeLorean is with her next minute with Taz, one minute to me next not on your life.

Not to worry (as if you were)I was controlling my train by radio control from a hilltop so I was quite safe, oh well another gripping yarn comes to conclusion starring spidergirl and flyboy.

So Taz was the sand fairy picture before or after frosty beers changed you into the snow fairy ?

And BTW some one went yuck over warm beer, well let me point out that fizzy warm beer is grim yuk, but room temperature real ale is a very different thing becuase it does not need to be filled with sugar, CO2 and chilled to be palletable.

Choo that was me with the YUCK (sorry)
I know hubby likes to drink those dark ales warm and I believe HIM to be crazy also obviously that's not the only reason....

It was a toss up between #s 1 & 2 for me, but I figured I'd go with my usual whackin

So now Taz is the Sand Fairy??? Ooooo he's not gonna like that. So how long did it take you to catch up on the thread? Lots of posting last night by our resident insects

quote:

Ooooo he's not gonna like that

Well after his last reponse to me he can't get any worse without damaging our reputation

Anyway you recognised Taz in that sand picture in which case he must be younger than he makes out. Do I take it you were both there in similar cozzies ?

Catching up on our resident bugs antics only took about half an hour, it's even more amusing seeing their message one straight after the other the next day

Welcome relief, I don't play here for the sanity of it, still, typing of lunacy Pete should be back soon, back yet Pete, you gotta a lot of reading to catch up on ?
