I can see how that would get your goat.

Re: What Has Made You Laugh Today ?
You're going to have to tell us the story behind that - did it actually happen?!
I've done some spectacularly stupid things in my life. Like, when I was about twenty, one of my pals at work had a Honda 500 motorbike and his pal's dad resprayed the tank. He brought it to work next day, we were all admiring the lovely new paint job and I asked - just out of curiosity, like - "Has the paint fully hardened?" Before he could answer I pressed a thumbnail into the paintwork just to check...
It hadn't.
If I had my time over again that's one of the numerous things I'd fix, but we can't, can we?

It was here.

Very odd place.
Big unused gates, going nowhere really, but into grassy fields. Big house way away across the fields, but the gates hadn't been used in years.

Re: What Has Made You Laugh Today ?
It certainly did but a long time ago when I was about 19. My mother kept goats to have milk which was supposed to be good for my asthma. ( it's not ) There was a few nannies had given birth to several kids that year and they were about four or five months old by then.kylecycler wrote: ↑28 Jul 2021, 4:11pmYou're going to have to tell us the story behind that - did it actually happen?!
When I was 16 I bought a Morris minor 1000 ( vintage by that stage ) cos I hadn't much money and was cheap due to it needing a bit of restoration and I thought it would be good to learn welding skills on.
My good friend Dave who taught me how to respray my bicycle also taught me about spraying and welding cars. He's my local equivalent to Brucey but in almost every subject except music. Everyone needs a friend like Dave.
As soon as I was 17 I passed my test and used the minor to travel to college and back. Within the first year I crashed it due to black ice and inexperience.
I took a few months to fix everything and change the engine which was getting a bit rattly. A respray again was done in the wee makeshift garage I'd built.
I had just finished, the paint was hard and polished shiny shiny. I reversed the car out and went into the house to tell everyone about my latest achievement.
When I got back out with everyone I was greeted by the clanking sound of 16 little hard hooves bouncing with unnatural vigour all over my pride and joy and then my 2 younger brothers laughter.
Wet and dry time again

Re: What Has Made You Laugh Today ?
Chatting in the pub yesterday afternoon.
Chap we know was complaining about the Emmets walking the lanes and not knowing to keep on the outside of the bends. Nearly a nasty accident.
(Emmet is a tourist to Cornwall, similar to Grockle in Devon. Emmet means ant in Cornish because they swarm all over the place.)
Any road up, chap said that he heard a new word for tourists the other day.
Hemmy.
They come out, get red, and then go back in again ......................................... haemorrhoids!

Re: What Has Made You Laugh Today ?
Wondered why my Fifteens have survived the kids over the last week as I have enjoyed one a day with my tea.
Then it dawned on me they have a covering of desiccated "COCONUT" the kids kryptonite!

Re: What Has Made You Laugh Today ?
Reminds me of a conversation with a pupil when I was a driving instructor, a pawky wee character from Drongan (pronounced Drungun), a village in Ershur (Ayrshire). It was around the time the racing driver Jenson Button was just starting out in F1 with Williams; he'd been interviewed and it just happened to crop up in the interview that he couldn't name The Beatles. Some found that sad, and slightly shocking, but he was only in his early twenties, you tend to forget how long ago The Beatles were together, and when you think about it you fairly seldom hear their music nowadays, even though I'm sure most of us are hugely familiar with it - and their names!
So just out of curiosity, I asked the wee fellow if he could name The Beatles, and he thought for a bit then replied, "Dae ah ken The Beatles? Aw aye, aye, ah ken The Beatles, aye... Wan o' rum's cried Paul, an' 'e yissed tae be mairiet tae a Welsh burd wi' wan an' a hawf legs... Twae o' rum's deid... An' ah hink th'ither yin yissed tae be Thomas the Tank Engine."
Fame is but the blink of an eye.

Wonderful!
Love the way you've written the accent too.
Lived in Scotland 1974 to 1980, then 1982 to 1983, then 1991 to 1993.
Rather familiar with the accent.

Re: What Has Made You Laugh Today ?
Quite incredible yesterday. I've zero interest either in dancing or michael jacksons music. But........
After an afternoon visiting a famous historic university/cathedral "city", on walking across the cobbled market square came across the most incredible street performer I've ever seen. Impossible to know whether he/she was of either gender, but done up as michael jackson, and the fast paced michael jackson dancing was quite an incredible performance. Technically, it was quite stunning!
Within minutes there were 40-50 people crowding around, en masse cheers and clapping from a sensible, middle aged or past it "gentry" crowd; have to admit probably the only occasion I've ever felt a donation to a street performer was without doubt, impossible to avoid giving
