Janey,
Remember I'm an import, so most definitely Wellies.

I have been told it is best to sit on ones hands at times.

Consider sitting on the hands as an option.

I have become very adept at sitting on my hands particularly on the doom and gloom board.

LadyBarbara, if you are unable to find the exit from this thread, someone will be happy to help you.

Let me try to help you before you go. The conversation to which you were not a party went like this:

... I am able to hear the mob from UK snoring, even over on this side of the planet.

Boring lot on that little island in the North Atlantic, aren't they?? ...


But I'm sure it looks different on your monitor.

**Sits on hands**

LOL - We both had the same idea at the same time.

Numb hands now.

Now how can you possibly demonstrate wellie-pitching prowess if you are all sitting on your hands??

Perhaps a competition for cow riding while sitting on hands ... that would take skill, that would.

Just joined Viv in the anderson shelter.

Do you understand the connotations of every person's nom de plume Viv. I've often wondered how you thought up yours.

Boring lot

No........... even I can understand that.....

I join Debs.

Well, it looks like Canadians can only ape other people's dorky competitions.

(Yes, if you google *strange canadian competitions*, it tells you.)

"Back to Britain, where this curious and frankly dangerous competition sees hundreds of people throwing themselves down a hill after a wheel of cheese – often sustaining hideous injuries. The competitions usually take place in Gloucester, but have recently arrived in British Columbia, where the “Dairy Farmers of Canada” hosted their first Annual Canadian Cheese Rolling Festival in August. The fastest one to the bottom wins the cheese."

Explains for aunty......

Its in Cymraeg/welsh you see bach.
You know, in one of those countrys that you can hear us snoring from over there.

I've been called a lot of names.......but never "Boring"
I'm sure those that know me can vouch for that.

Deb

To go with the cheese rolling.
The sack of coal race .
The tin bath race,on water that is.

I think the Poms are just about to retire for the night. I'm awake, or is this a bad dream, so it must be bed time.

I have my snorerometer set to register the noise level. I'll warn them there will be an IQ test in the morning. The inhabitants of Nut Lodge will enjoy that. Most of them have mastered writing their names and the more advanced even fly broomsticks, dance on tables, crochet parachutes and eat mole stew.

It might mean you will have some lurkers to this thread but it matters not ,they have been trained in dignity, decorum and catapult usage.

So you gonna go chase some cheese then Debs??

"We want to give families in BC a chance to experience Canadian cheese in a whole new way this summer"

Poms, I always have to remember what that is. We just call 'em Limeys. ;)

Oooooo do tell some of the names Debs.
I cant put the ones Ive been called on here as I would be struck off with immediate effect.
But the worst one that I was called I pointed out to the person that I had NEVER taken money for it and had always given it for free!!!

I have warned my fellow nutters that as the Ashes tour draws near I will be referring to them as Poms. Oh heavens, Ashes tour. Cricket match between us Aussies and them Poms.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi

Oh I am in more trouble.

Nah!
I'll be in Vegas then. Maybe next year :)

Deb

I;m going back to my thread. It is more ummm peaceful there!!
