Rummaging around up in he attic the other day, I came across a bundle of war food ration vouchers.

The young Corner Shop assistant had to call her boss to see if they still had any value. It seems a scarce toilet roll would be more welcome.

I didn't fancy popping them into the church collection basket this morning. I'm too shy for that sort of thing.

:-D :-D :-D@ Bob

Tawny, I started this Thread a few years ago when I was amazed and amused (I wasn't quite sober at the time) about all the RR's which were taking place on another Thread; the entire content just seem to read 'post reported' :-D

I tend to resurrect it at timed of multi reporting

"Give me your tired and poor" and also the oppressed ;-)

Given I annoyed a few people on another site when they started a thread on politics here I’ll just say chicken.

For Lagooner, in response to her post @13.40. here's one I prepared earlier (July 15, 2017, to be precise)


To renew, or not to renew, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous RR’s,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them: banned, to post
No more; and by post, to say we end
The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
That Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To renew, to post,
To post, perchance to offend; aye, there's the rub,
For in that renewing of GR, what posts may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coin,

With apologies to Wil. Shakespeare

On the other hand I can give you a definite maybe

Hi Barbra

In answer to JoyLouise's post @12.06 I think the actual phrase translates as 'I'm pink therefore I'm spam'

Perhaps I/m just putting Descartes in front of the horse

does it annoy you when presenters of tv programs, ask


"WAS you to to win any money what would you do with it?

MY thinking is
"If you were,..... or Were you to......"
