GYPSY!!!! I'm shocked!!! You are beyond redemption! A total degenerate!! How could you laugh at such a.......hysterical scenario!!
But then I must be tooo....ROFL! oh I'm crying now...with laughter!
OMG, I must be awful but I could just picture it too..it's like something from Fawlty Towers...you just want to die! Those poor poor people....splutter...choke
val thankyou i was so worried that it was just me being a blackhearted bitch!..lol..fawlty towers..dont mention the war!!!...lol..
Now that we've mentioned the war, how about someone threatening to fall over forward and trying to avoid disaster by walking faster and faster until at last the result is what he tried to avoid: falling flat on his face - at high speed. This seems to make some people laugh uncontrollably: a sign of extremely bad character indeed. Rofl.
BTW Nice profile pic. Reminds me of the good old days before even I was born. Makes me go all soppy.
lol koos one day i was walking with some tight jeans on with my hands in my pockets..i tripped and fell flat on my face cause i couldn't get my hands out...everyone just creased up laughing as i lay in a heep...lol..who mentioned the war!??..
i know what you mean dale my friend eilene and i were biking in the countryside and she crashed..hurt herself badly..but i was no use what so ever as i couldn't stop laughing ..as i tried to unscramble her from the wrecked bike i kept falling over in the mud in stiches...she was laughing and crying at the sametime..
try telling angus his face is a picture!...
lmao...why do your kids put their hands in their shirts??..
oh forgot to mention dale none of the horses were hurt they just got a fright..
Well that's a relief...as long as the horses were'nt hurt...heartless *b* that I am...snigger.
Gypsy your story about your hands getting stuck in your pockets made me laugh even more...like something from a Norman Wisdom skit...lol
The war IS over...I know..it really IS..BTW Gypsy, your profile pic makes you look like you've caught sight of yourself with that hat on..and had a shock..chuckle.
And you need an optician, dear...more pics on my blog??? you must be imagining things...;-))
maybe to keep them warm... i don't know.
...they're kids!
I just don't want them falling and smashing their teeth...
I think your new pic looks great.
The look on your face is priceless...
Gypsy, your face is a picture.
I don't know if you've heard of the Calgary Stampede - a big rodeo.
They have chuckwagon races where a big camp wagon is pulled by a team of six horses.
Four teams race around a track together and often get in huge wrecks.
It breaks my heart to see some of the injuries and deaths to the horses involved.
They are only doing what there drivers and trainers tell them.
...the innocent victims is how I think of them.
fucking bleeding heart I am
Ha Ha
My kids get to bring their boogie boards and noodles to camp today...
lol
You're right Dale. I'm actually serious when I say 'as long as the horses weren't hurt'. They are always the innocent victims of man's drive for speed, power and even transport. We use them...and sometimes abuse them too. The Calgary Stampede is famous, but I didn't know there was a risk of injury and death.
I always hate seeing historical movies where horses are used in battle. I know they say that the animals in the films are never hurt, but just the idea of what they used to go through is horrific.
I couldn't laugh over a story where animals are hurt in the same way as I laughed over Gypsy's story about the coffin..what does that make me, I wonder?....thinks pensively...
i agree val i cant laugh at animal cruelty in any form..it makes me cry and feel sick to my stomache...lol im laughing at my pic now cause i see what you and dale mean about my expression its as if ive went for a make over dressed as a nun and got swished round in the chair and they went ta-da!...and i go yikes i was a gypsy then a nun now im Hermann Göring!!!
val im going to double check again i sense mischief in your voice..lol...im sure they are expanding everytime i go..ive not heard of the stampede thingy but i know that one of the biggest horse races of the year the grand national used to have too many horses running and every year some would get injured and have to be shot so in more recent years they have ..by public demand decreased the numbers there-by causing less injury to said horses...
ive just realised our dale swore...oooh this has really raised her shackles somewhat...dale calm down dear its the heat...
Yes, Gypsy, you must keep checking those pics...maybe they are breeding...lol
I keep looking at your pic and chuckling...
Dale swearing is definitely a rare event...must be a very emotive subject..I know it is for me. I've also heard about the Grand National, Gypsy. They still lose at least one horse a year I believe..one too many. I think Dale has it on the button when she talks about innocent victims..we have choice and if not, we have knowledge and awareness. Animals have neither.
You're right, I don't swear very often...
I was just thinking about that when I logged onto your page when your comment about my swearing smacked me in the face. Well... sort of.
...it must be the heat.
Yes I've read National Velvet several times and I'm familiar with the Grand National steeple chase.
Trust the English to come up with a sport that chases churches on horseback...
The Scots can take the credit for coming up with a game where you chase a white ball over the landscape...
I'm off to your page Val to see if I can catch your pics in the act - I'm feeling rather voyeuristic at the moment.
im wearig exra rim jam-jar geek zone glassys to check again val..dale mon petit chéri you know my page is a den of iniquity you can say f**k/sh*t/c**t?ba***rd/and anything beginning with the letter H..
i'll even don a green mohair cardican geek myself right up!..
Hell!
well it worked i saw the rogue pic...
It's far too hot for mohair!
...someones bloody car alarm is going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going...
It even caught Henrietta's attention.
shoot the bastard...the car alarm that is not henrietta...why do people bother with them nobody gives a toss anyway..the car could be on bricks and all we care about is stopping the damn alarm!!...the shopping trollys are on bricks here same with pushchairs if you leave it outside the shop comes back its on bricks even wheelie bins..
what do you call a muslim alarm?.halarm
LOL Gypsy - we have to put up with tourists for two long summer months and they are always in holiday mode...
Our quiet peaceful town gets noisy and rowdy - fireworks at 4 am... car alarms at 3 pm!
I won't let Henri read that comment... she frightens easily.
...here in canada they end up on cinder blocks...
get her an i-pod so she can listen to beethoven then she wont here it..we dont have tourists here just tourettes types..
cinder blocks ?...what is this strange material you speak of woman!...
ROFL Gypsy, shopping trolleys on bricks!
Do they clamp them too if they're parked in the wrong place?
I've decided you and Dale are totally addled by the heat. My photos are definitely not sneaky!!
Holy Henrietta...hallah be praised...it's Dale's fire halarm!
...big grey bricks with two hollows on the inside...
...bigger than regular red bricks.
Not very becoming at all...
val wheelchairs on bricks!!..its one hellova struggle getting up hill with bricks for wheels..they clamped the milkmans float for stopping to throw in my milk!!...val you have been adding photos to daze and confuse us as we are already of our nuts with the heat!..
I wonder if Henri would like Beethoven...
I do call her my "rock and roll pig" all the time because she seems to enjoy my music... not that she has any choice...
LoL Val - my fire halarm.
... i feel like i'm looking at the world through rose-coloured glasses.
verification: gujy axed
certainly not very becoming i certainly wont be wearing one...or carving a handbag out of it..
...i wonder what val's going to sneak in next...
im looking at the world through broken glassys dale..
she has been very cunning today she has had us in a right cuffufle..
Oh Gypsy..I don't know how to spell cuffuffle either..rofl..it's such a lovely word..
OMG maybe you've spelt it tight...scurries off to find dictionary...
val i cant find it its not even a real word so we can spelt it how we want..
Cawfoffle...that's the posh way of saying it...he he!
Gypsy, you'd better check those photos again..they've taken on their own life now and are morphing....or at least one of them has...
i like the posh way it sounds like we're coughing...i see you have sneaked a koos pic in you devil you!...
cough up a bubble...
I see the photo of the Skipper!
...my mum and dad had a dog named skipper...
i thought skippers were fish ..mud skippers..oh i got a pain in my tum..i made some toffee apples today and some toffee nut crunch..ive made a pig of myself and now im paying the price...sympathy required (she says looking up with pleafull eyes and rubbing tum)..oooh woe is me....
Snort...grunt...snort..oink oink....that's sympathy in piggy...lots of it, that means ;-)
The skipper's been there for a while..he snuck in during the last phase..but there is something else I believe..you have to spot the difference..if you can..lol
i get it i crawl off the bed to come and see you and i get nil sympathy..hmmph!!..well ive studied the pics and left my finding for your inspection..
oink oink is VERY sympathetic in piggy language! Really! Promise!
Sleep well dear Gypsy and hope your tum's better in the morning...no more pigging out, mind! lol
Better go to bed myself now..getting on for 2a.m here!
ok val you sleep well speak tomorrow..x.
Sleep well both of you.
I am speaking to you from the past...
yes dale you are in yesterday..
Gypsy you are killing me to tears at Neil's! I love that photo BTW
thankyou alicia..he's trying to sling us out but we're staging a sit-in...
No, no, it's not you...I was snickering the whole time reading this. The only part I find sad is the guy in the car who died...unfortunate, really, wrong place at the wrong time...but I can see the horse and coffin and all that happening in my head with comedy music playing in the background.... At least the coffin didn't open! Now the dead guy gets more rememberance with all that crazy stuff happening than just from his regular funeral. How ironic.
I've reached today!
you have reached the point of no return dale..thankyou mary beth for being on the same warped wave length as i...
Very smal NEW FLASH!!!!!!!!
Ahem....there's a new bit of Africa for your delectation...lol
If your poor tum's still giving you grief, it's something to read in bed..xx
HA HA HA I remember the story she told me about Balrubador, then burst into tears, how tragic, no really Jasmine, she is tragic!
