Have you guys noticed the remarkable similarities shared by Phyllis and Grandpa Munster?

I say again, YIKES!

I'll start off by saying that I have only read about the first 25 or so posts when I started laughing out loud about this thread... Not sure where the commentary is now, but it struck me that this started out by sounding just like the beginning of a Monty Python skit, one where they start apologizing for something and then interrupt several times apologizing for the apologies... if you haven't heard it, my attempt to describe it will not evoke any response, but those who have, will get laugh from it as it was quite funny...

Anyway, sorry to interrupt, you can now return to reading whatever was going on when I barged in with something completely off topic and from left field.

You haven't lived until you throbb from seeing such a sight.
He YAY Haw!

It is now time to let dear ol' BSmith13 off the hook, and to let sleeping dogs lie! We cannot fathom the follies of youth, nor can we ever revisit them with wisdom of age.

Dear Landrocket,

This is a thread to bring up any topic you may wish to air. Just don't peddle hard on : politics, sex or anything touchy. I am fed up with getting zapped by the site gremlins, and we have to keep in mind that the audience is a family one.

I, personaly, have nothing against sex, politics or drugs or rock and roll. In fact, we often find that all of these may be found in the one location ( well, perhaps not rock and roll ), but we have had several instances of members going crazy, and ol' Atticus Finch has had to be called out to shoot the mad dogs down ( myself included ).

We now tread carefully, the better to discuss everything else.

Now we can all have a multi-member collective hug and glow with righteousness ( except Skunky, unless he takes a bath! )

Help! We're being invaded by aliens! Or, maybe not.

Do any of you have any good 'flying saucer' stories?

I thought that I saw one once, but it transpired that I had witnessed a Goverment weather baloon exploding in the upper atmosphere. It was filled with a chemical, they said, and therefore was phosphorescent. I thought that I was seeing two moons at the same time!

Boy, was I glad! I didn't want to be taken away by advanced beings in order to have countless experiments conducted upon my person to see how I reproduced!

[MoMo]

I see that Skunky has done a runner!

Penelope the cat was able to lure Pepe le Pew in 1949, so we'll just send one of Jim's cats out to attract him back

This has been a day of gains and losses...all losses!

Mrs moMo got her boring VW at the weekend. It had clocked up 104 miles by today. We were taking her clapped-out HD TV back to Curry's Electrical for the second time ( still under guarantee ) when the car started to produce loud metalic grinding noises which seemed to get worse over bumps and when she had to take a hard right turn.

At Curry's : they had to threaten me with the security man ( who arrived promptly ) after I had lost my cool and told the manager to stop ' handling me ' according to company policy, and to start to act as a human being. I wanted the damn thing replaced as it wasn't fit for service. He quoted company policy at me. I pointed out that they had repaired the damn thing already and that there was a good chance the board would burn out again!

I had to leave.

Mrs MoMo had to get me to calm down in the car park. Will I ever buy anything from Curry's again? *************** !

Then we get in the car to go to IKEA. Clunk, Squeal, Grind, Bump!

" We gotta go to the garage where we got the car ! "

" Oh, it'll go away!" MoMo.

Grind, clunk, Twink!

" OK, we'll go"

When we got to the garage, the guy there told us that it was too late for a courtesy car, but if we drove it over the road and called the breakdown service that we would get a car from them. We did, when we got home. We were told that the breakdown waggon could only come to the car and that there had to be someone there, on the spot!

Further phonecalls.

The guy from the dealership had to drive our car to our house then we had to call again!

Result : car is being towed as I type. Mrs MoMo is speaking to no-one! She has missed her favourite soaps! I dare not say that I hated the VW in the first place.

What a day! I almost got arrested for sticking up for my rights. Our new car is in the repair shop ( " maybe a stone got picked up in the caliper?" I was told ) and I am in the doghouse!

Skunky, move over!

Take heart MoMo, things can only get better from here on - in the interim go and buy yourself a nice piece of die-cast (retail therapy ) and watch a good movie ...
