Male/female brain

Hi Frank,

Why your antibiotics should be standing there looking at that nasty cold and not doing anything, I just do not understand, maybe its the wrong kind of nasty.

I know antibiotics are getting very fussy these days, being now fed to top class salmon, racing horse and even, I am reliably told, to Bulls in Stud!!, as a result some have started becoming the prima donnas of the medical world, only willing to work if they have their own publicist and U tube clip!! – there goes the neighbourhood again!!

Cheers Brian.

Brian,

Check your private messages.

As for the puns, may I use the excuse of being on antibiotics regarding a nasty cold ? 😀

Hi frankvw, or may I call you Frank for short, a moderator, just the specialisation I need, in Photographic – civil aircraft images, I have created a thread in which I am showing old aircraft photos that I took/from the fifties, I have been putting them in ‘Albums’ – today in uploading some new pictures, I have received a message telling me to join a group and apparently put these pictures through the group. I know understand how/why this has happened – your advice(printable of course) would be most appreciated

Cheers Brian Doherty

It was intended to be a discussion about how the same event can be perceived entirely differently.Apologies for being an air-head,I didn’t know this was meant to be the Brains Trust .

It is about different perceptions, I’ve never thought of tumbleweeds having brains! – how do they steer those things? 😀

Hi Frank – yes, you are right – you should be ashamed.

As if it ever had any, it’s like a tumbleweed just blowing along in the breeze.

Brian, yes, I am a moderator, but hay, don’t worry, I was just getting back to the roots of the discussion. 😀

Ah – yes – I recognise that, the vertical violin!! – at some of our local jazz club gigs, one of the guy’s – Johnny Van Derrick, now dead unfortunately, used one of those and on occasions in the middle of a 1920’s jazz number, would even play a hornpipe on it like a guiter. He and his mate Stephen Grappelli?, same age, used to get together on occasions but Johnny went the full jazz route whilst Stephen went more the orchestral route. I have to say though that they never seemed to sweat as much as this Fender lot, must have been tougher in those days.

Cheers

Nearly right it’s Stefan

Hi BB (If I may call you that?) – Yes, I am aware of being a certain age, but I’ve stopped asking about it, it became rather confusing. My Granny had a lovely brass one too, but it was probably because she was born before the turn of the century, 1900 that is, before that yankee bloke Ford (no – not the president, the one making horseless carriages) started all this nonsense. That reminds me, that Aussie guy I referred to previously, used the term ‘bumper’ – now I thought, through my readings of the colony’s newsheets that this was a local term for a glass of beer, obviously they lost the use of the word pint somewhere.

Anyway the state of England and English is terrible, but I must go, the wife needs me – to clean the filter on the washing machine – I knew I was supposed to be doing something ……

Cheers

:D:D They lost the use of the word pint because they brew horse P instead of Beer:) They try to tell us it’s lager but I don’t believe them

Great thread everyone but I’ve been thinking – takes a while – that Aussie guy some time ago called a bumper a fender – now thats plain wrong – a fender stops hot coals from falling off the fire and setting light to the carpet – nothing to do with cars? – is that where this started?

Carpet? You pampered person. in our house it was there to stop the hot coals rolling across the floor and burning our feet or setting fire to our slippers:D (We had flag stone flooring in our kitchen and the front room was for Sundays or other occasions when you had visitors. I don’t think it was ever used on a daily basis until I was about 12)

She replied to my post first .

Thanks BB, sorry frankvw, bad day, missed the joke, Anna – who’s Anna – lives next door to Alice?

Cheers Brian.

You guys are very close to the hedge of being off topic. Please be careful that nobody gets offendered 😉

Took a long time but I spotted the “offendered” joke eventually.Topic?What topic?Haven’t we established that Anna and the guys are right ?

Agree re being close to off the topic! – meandering is the word! – the only person likely to be offended is Cees who wants a ‘shrubbery’, which is unlikely – the rest is too general to be of any offence – other than someone worried about using their own language in its proper context for fear of upsetting someone who like them cannot speak or understand it properly in the first place. Suddenly realised, should have asked this in the first place, are you a moderator?

Cheers Brian.

Yes, don’t look now, but I think there’s one around and about, he keeps asking for a shrubbery!!, probably does’nt realise that its such a giveaway!

Cheers

They write series of books about hedges?

Good grief!
