First topic message reminder :

Lorry, I have heard of the game called Life. Have you heard of the breakfast cereal called Life?
Do you remember Mikey?

by Breezey Breezey Sun Jan 24, 2016 5:40 am

Well... I was a bit worried..how you'd roll them and light them up, but I see you might mean something entirely different!
This coming summer... going to try doing just that with fish and such on my grill/ smoker.
It seems we both quit smoking around the same time.

by Tater Salad Sun Jan 24, 2016 6:14 am

I bet you feel a LOT healthier by now, don't you? I know I do!

by Breezey Breezey Sun Jan 24, 2016 6:17 am

Oh my goodness, we are on the questions only topic?!!! lol
Healthier? Would you believe I am not so sure about that?

by Tater Salad Sun Jan 24, 2016 6:40 am

Don't you at least notice that you don't get winded nearly as much or as quickly when doing something strenuous? Like climbing multiple flights of stairs or walking uphill? Fewer and milder coughs and colds?

by Breezey Breezey Sun Jan 24, 2016 7:02 am

Hmmm... I have other issues... multiple flights of stairs isn't really a thing here....
I don't know... I'm not dying, but I don't work the way I use to... maybe I need new batteries.... or something.

by Tater Salad Sun Jan 24, 2016 7:34 am

There's a very scientific term for that sort of thing. Its called "getting older". scared smiley

by Breezey Breezey Sun Jan 24, 2016 7:36 am

If it were that simple, it would be great.

by Tater Salad Sun Jan 24, 2016 7:57 am

Oops, did we both start forgetting to ask questions again? Did you know that forgetfulness is another sign of aging?

by lorry p Sun Jan 24, 2016 8:20 am

What is aging? Isn't it all just numbers? Aren't you only as old as you feel?...

by Tater Salad Sun Jan 24, 2016 8:34 am

Yeah, but what if you feel...older?

by lorry p Sun Jan 24, 2016 8:50 am

Can you just not "feel" older? Touch nothing!!!

by P Sun Jan 24, 2016 9:17 am

I've never smoked! I just couldn't see the appeal under the hype. As far as smoking is concerned the best I can see is kippers, and they have far too many bones for me to enjoy?

by Tater Salad Sun Jan 24, 2016 9:48 am

I don't think I've ever had kippers (at least not for breakfast, like in the Supertramp song); are they anything like sardines?

by P Sun Jan 24, 2016 9:51 am

Are they full of bones, or what?

by Tater Salad Sun Jan 24, 2016 10:14 am

Sardines are full of bones, but since sardines are very small (a couple of inches), they are very small bones, and quite edible. I prefer canned mackerel, which are filleted, and boneless too!

P.s. I only added the last part as a joke, since several of our local supermarkets have taken to advertising fish as being "boneless fillets" lately, as if there are any fillets that contain bones...

by Breezey Breezey Sun Jan 24, 2016 10:17 am

What shall we talk about next?

by P Sun Jan 24, 2016 10:20 am

I regret to say I've had many fillets that contained bones! Aren't you like me in that respect?

by Breezey Breezey Sun Jan 24, 2016 11:00 am

What does anyone expect? lol Maybe we should clean our own fish? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

by P Sun Jan 24, 2016 11:17 am

I may be able to clean the plate?

by Breezey Breezey Sun Jan 24, 2016 11:26 am

You mean AFTER you clean the fish, right? Rolling Eyes

by Tater Salad Mon Jan 25, 2016 4:15 am

Why do we have to clean the fish? They're in the water all the time; how dirty can they possibly be?

by P Mon Jan 25, 2016 7:11 am

Have you seen my pond?

by Tater Salad Tue Jan 26, 2016 2:59 am

Can you describe it?

by P Tue Jan 26, 2016 7:26 am

Yes I can. Square, deep, and wet. The fish are all asleep in the bottom at the moment, they don't like the rain. Does that give you some idea?

by lorry p Tue Jan 26, 2016 8:43 am

Cleaning the fish.. Have you ever caught a fish.. an edible one that is? Not a goldfish!!!
You have to "clean" the fish of it's scales and gut it. I prefer to catch fish from the shop myself. I also hate touching worms.. so no fishing for me unless someone puts the worm on the hook.

by P Tue Jan 26, 2016 8:47 am

Would you believe my biggest fish don't have scales?

by Breezey Breezey Tue Jan 26, 2016 9:22 am

Would you believe I don't have scales either?

by P Tue Jan 26, 2016 11:53 am

Thats a very tempting bait! Were you expecting me to fall for it?

by Tater Salad Wed Jan 27, 2016 2:02 am

Would you believe the only scales I have are in my bathrooms?

by Breezey Breezey Wed Jan 27, 2016 6:43 am

How many scales and bathrooms do you have?

by Tater Salad Wed Jan 27, 2016 7:02 am

Would you believe 2 scales and 2 1/2 baths?

by P Wed Jan 27, 2016 7:51 am

I have 1, isn't that enough?

(We call 1/2 a bath a bidet!)

by lorry p Wed Jan 27, 2016 8:25 am

Would you believe i am not a fish and i do not live in a bathroom?

by Tater Salad Thu Jan 28, 2016 3:07 am

Lorry, why would anybody think you were a fish, or that you lived in a bathroom?

P, do you mean you only have one bathroom, or one scale? And isn't a bidet a special piece of equipment that washes the, uh, special pieces of equipment?

by P Thu Jan 28, 2016 7:33 am

One set of scales on which to weigh myself (Oh how I hate those scales !!!!).

Your right about the special piece of equipment, as I said, half a bath. I leave it there for everyone to draw their own conclusions. Needless to say anything invented by the French, as far as the English are concerned, has to be suspect (REMEMBER AGINCOURT!).

Talk about stealing a march, I was driving through London one day when a plumbers van pulled up alongside. The numberplate B 1 DET. Nice one! I did wonder, hovever, if he was Polish but it was a very English sense of humour.

toilet reading

by lorry p Thu Jan 28, 2016 8:33 am

Tater.. would you believe i asked that because Breezey wanted to know how many scales we have? Something pretty fishy about that question...

by Tater Salad Fri Jan 29, 2016 4:17 am

Is it true that a scale in the kitchen is worth two in the bath?

by lorry p Fri Jan 29, 2016 5:05 am

Depends on who else is in the bath with you.. I don't have scales in the kitchen.. so i'll take the bath.

by Tater Salad Fri Jan 29, 2016 5:14 am

If a person weighed their food on a kitchen scale, would they be inclined to eat less?

by P Fri Jan 29, 2016 5:54 am

You think that would make a difference in my case?

cooking

by Tater Salad Fri Jan 29, 2016 6:58 am

You mean your suitcase, or attache case?

by P Fri Jan 29, 2016 7:32 am

Suitcase, but like me it always seems to come back from the hotel weighing more! I wonder why that is?

by Tater Salad Fri Jan 29, 2016 7:40 am

Could it be because you buy more stuff than you give away?

by P Fri Jan 29, 2016 8:10 am

Anyone want soap, toilet rolls, or towels?

by Tater Salad Fri Jan 29, 2016 8:31 am

I admit I've taken soap, shampoo, and tissues (I mean, we are talking about tiny little one-use cakes of soap and bottles), but most of the towels I've seen at hotels aren't worth taking, and if they are worth taking, don't you feel a little guilty about it?

by Breezey Breezey Fri Jan 29, 2016 8:57 am

Why would anyone believe that?!

Ooooohhhh....BAAAAADDD Tater!! sarcastic

Why does anyone want those tiny bottles of shampoo and hotel towels? lol

by Tater Salad Sat Jan 30, 2016 1:57 am

Those little soaps and shampoos come in handy when you go some place where there may not be ready access to them. Don't you think they'd be ideal for camping, for example?

by P Sat Jan 30, 2016 6:52 am

The way I view it is they are complimentary and included in the price. Its only thrown away afterwards and I consider it an efficient method of recycling. Hotels are wising up to this though and screwing refillable dispensers on the wall. Even so we rarely need to buy soap. Shampoo seems not to last so long but dont blame me!!!!

It's the same with meals. Doggy bags don't exist over here but I can eat quite a lot when it's self service, and I always ask for honey when it isn't . Now you see why I put on so much weight when we're away. It's surprising how long that extra weight lasts when we get back!

I never liked those tiny bottles of shampoo and conditioner! Biggest pains in the butt! A friend gave me a huge bag full of them once and I found it to be a real hassle.

Sounds to me like you better stay home more often!! rollonfloor
