Well Gypsy, I hooted & howled till I choked!

What is Semtex?

Please send me 3 cases of self-rising Yorkshire pudding...COD of course.

Was Tarquin's lover's socks a pretty baby blue, by any chance?

Plumber butt rules...ha ha ha...but I wouldn't think it would go down well in Victorian England...

I'm sure Keith Richard's name would more than ring a bell to them...

Angus is far too Young & Pete was always ahead of his time...

What's this tho, Gyppo, a shopping list for the kitchen of the Irksome Romany's Army?

Did the poor woman recover from the sight of you scratching your flea bites? Love the idea of crank up laptops...does it have an ear piece and micropohone too...you could start a whole new internet cafe theme for regressive or time warped bloggers...;-))!

By the way, Dale, Pet wasn't just a head, he was THE head of his time..lol

By the way, Gypsy, did you hear about the the Americans who went to an art gallery up north and saw a painting showing three black men sitting naked on a bench, but the middle one had a pink willy.

They asked the curator of the gallery to explain the painting to them and he told them how it represented the intermingling of races and the condition of the human spirit today and the usual twaddle like this. Nodding seriously the Americans accepted his explanation, but a moment after the curator had gone, this Scotsman came up to them and told them that the curators explanation was a load of pretentious piffle.

"How can you say that?' asked one of the Americans. "Well, 's easy", said the Scotsman"I should know cos I painted it!"

"you did? So what does it mean then?' asked the Americanos
"It's simple" said the Scot" It's just a picture of three coal miners, and the one in the middle went home for lunch.."

OK
We need to tell jokes, here is another one about the mines.
It works best in Dutch, but with a bit of grammar bending it works in Eglish too.

Two nuns on the train to the mining area.
When they approach the black country the nun closest to the partly open window does sniff-sniff sounds and says: mine?
Says the other nun: I thought it was mine!

Thanks god she's safe, Gypsy.. I know what you mean about being helpless...totally powerless to do anything..but at least Dale knows where she is now.

She can stop worrying about the worst that could have happened. Now, the why's will come, and that might also be a tough call...but most important..she's safe. Worth celebrating just for the relief.

Night Night to you both, Gypsy & Val.

You are so sweet!

I will sleep better tonight, but no further word yet.

I toss between anger, fear, grief & helplessness.

There is a power at work here that I have no control over - my daughter is growing up & spreading her wings...

She is strong.

...and so am I.

Thanks from the bottom of my fragile heart.

Hi Gypsy

Beth is still not home, but I suspect she is having a "right knees up" - school is out for the summer...

This morning we have a meeting with the school board about my son who has been having trouble with his school work.

Does it never end?

I'm hanging in there :)

OMG, Gypsy!

I have been so selfish.

With all this going on I have not given a thought to you being stuck in a Victorian pub/cafe with crank-up internet!

How ARE you doing?

Have you run into our favourite busker?

Are you sure they're just only slightly familiar with Mick?
...oh, come on - they must be ribbing you.

Did you ever manage to find a pair of trousers with a Victorian waist?

Nice picture you've painted there...

It's 10:40 pm & I just got back from picking Beth up from work at the grocery store in town :)

I was watching the movie "Nanny McPhee" with George & Jenny.
Bobby's out sailing in the no wind with the neighbours...

It's a beautiful evening here & still light out. We are quite far north & I west in our time zone, so at this time of year the sky in the north stays light (shook me)all night long...

Things are well here.

I'd trade the sulphuric acid with Visine, if I were you...

Sweet dreams & look forward to a no shit day.

*LOL* You lot have me in stitches with your posting, Gypsy, and all the jokes!!

I hope Victorian England is treating you well, Gypsy, despite the lack of air conditioning, which would drive me mad..... perhaps with your 2 pounds, you should stock up on valuables and bring them back to our time to sell on Ebay? You could be rich forever, selling precious antiques, jewellery, and the like....instead of 5 litres of cheap wine, you could buy the second-to-cheapest wine...and I bet Alfie wouldn't mind a sampling of what Victorian mice tasted like!
