Because you are a very wise man.

Das verdammte Englisch und Brexit!
-
That's not your wife, is it?
-
Try living here mate. Great packs of the buggers riding three abreast, especially on a Wednesdays. Christ knows why.

Watch out, the Jocks are getting violent!

More Naval terminology? First sign of you bellowing Avast, scuppers etc that's me done with this.

My tongue was so firmly in my cheek at that remark, it was cracking my teeth.

Thus speaks an Officer and a Gentleman.

Quick thinking, well done sir.

Why is that bloke calling you Jumbo? A bit rude I think.

I think it would be a crying shame if you did get independence, but can understand why you do. You're correct that more Scots are moving position and wanting it now, possibly due to the mess created with Brexit and the majority in Scotland wanting to stay in Europe. My wife is fiercely anti Independence, as she says 22 years as an Army wife as maybe coloured her thinking. However, all the other members of her extended family are really pro Independence and can give chapter and verse on why it should happen. If you asked the "Man in the street" in England for their take on it, I suggest they would say let them carry on, and see where it gets them. Not a lot of sympathy there I think. Thorny question that would take some resolving. I have had lots of discussions, often quite heated, with my in laws, as I am a firm believer in the Union. Time and Wee Jimmy Krankie will tell.

Still 39 degrees here at 2000. No working for me till Friday, then down to a mild 26.

No, sorry. I'm not having s Scotsman taking the high moral ground.

How dare you criticise the Left! Shame on you Mr Johnson.
-
Thanks mate. I was just getting in my van when I saw it, I thought it was a piece of blossom. Luckily I saw it before reversing out of the yard. Absolutely beautiful.

Found this beauty next to my van wheel this morning. Not a clue what it is.

Quite a quantity of gin has passed my rosebud lips, time to visit my cabin boy in the wine cellar. Who says Matelots have all the fun. Obviously Mr Johnson does, anyway, into the cellar I go. Apologies to any Matelots. Apart from Mr Johnson. I am now signing off.
-
I did indeed Mr Johnson, and quite a bargain he was. He was an ex cabin boy rescued from a passing Royal Navy vessel so he obviously knew what was expected of him. He was particularly interested in the old cognac barrels I have in my cellar, something about it being his turn in it.

We bought our neighbour's son for his birthday years ago over here in France, a good, folding knife. When we gave it to him, his dad reminded him to give me a coin. I assume it's the same as luck money. Seems to make sense now.

I never sleep, young man. I'm like a coiled spring in case I see a blatant spelling error on Arbtalk.

Who the Hell is Gail, and why would you go to her?
-
No Stubby, for the Love of Christ, no!
-
You're not doing yourself any favours, mate. Rap it in while you can now. You're looking like a prat.

Skyhuck and Eggs, it's Saturday, he's obviously at a loose end and bored. He can carry on like this all day, this thread could run longer than the Mousetrap in the West End! He's not going to run out of steam, don't feed him, for the Love of God, don't!

Leave Vespasian out of this!
