Well duh ! Couldn’t you just have left the BOOTS in the bath for 2 hours without you in them then turned them upside down and seen if any water came out ? If I’d been that daft I’d keep quiet about it,but of course being female I never have.Thanks for the laugh anyway.

No, I also wanted to see if they made my feet sweat whilst the boots couldn’t ventilate in the normal way. Which they didn’t, the inner liner acted as a wick…which was new fangled technology in those days. They cost over £150 in 1981, that was about 250 pints of beer in those days. A LOT of money. In today’s terms, 250 pints would be £825. I’ve never paid that for a car!

Obviously you haven’t met my Mother-in-law!!!

I’m sure they go for training in some conspirational anti-men camp. Maybe it’s virtual training on some sort of secret Darwinian female internet. I know!….It’s those hairdryer things they sit under for hours….it’s a mind altering machine, like in that Arnie film on Mars (Or not).

Tell your wife that you love her relatives, especially her mother in law.

Your head’s loose.

Another stupid record involving water was when I sat on the end of a bath for two hours, with my new Boots in 5 inches of water. They were supposed to be 100% waterproof, so before I used them in anger in the cold wet grass in Denmark, I tried them out in the comfort of home. They were indeed waterproof………and, I never did get to Denmark!

Yes,he’s a bachelor – that is,a man who’s missed his chance to make some poor woman’s life a misery.

Women live longer than men because of the stress free life we give you!

Two HOURS in the bath ?Didn’t that make you as wrinkked as a prune ? Oh, and who’s Jimmy Young ?

My record for a bath soak is 7 hours. A whole Saturday. I read the Weekend FT from front to back as part of my studies. I did get out occasionally, for cups of tea and the obvious.
Just keep topping up the watter, letting a bit out every now and then.

LoL. Getaoudda here BB LoL.
As if you don’t know who JY was. 38 years on the rack and 3 score years and one. Even “pop” music of the 50’s was played by JY.

And how, exactly, do you work that out? :confused:

It’s a term of endearment.

…especially for Bass players. 🙂

The Titanic was a luxurious ship, but she was Butt ugly (In the same way that the modern Queen Mary is actually).
The most attractive ship, IMO, and dare I say it…was French. The Normandie. It was the most luxurious and possibly the fastest liner ever built.
Stolen by the Americans at the outbreak of WW2, during its refit to troopship, sparks from the welders set it alight. It ended up getting sunk due to incompetent firefighters in New York harbour not listening to the French crew about how to put a fire out in that part of the ship. The firefighters water just became unwanted ballast and over she went.

Surely if you like something,you like it regardless.I’ve just gone from Richie Havens to Keane by way of Linkin Park and Youssou N’Dour.If I have a box of Quality Street I don’t have to eat all the green triangles before starting on the orange creams,it’s a random selection ( though the green triangles are definitely the best ).

That’s the sort of link Jimmy Young would make. And yes, I snaffle all the purple ones first.

I couldn’t possibly jump from say Beatles to Chike, or dance to folk. I could never go near Opera unless it’s a BIG production like Carmen and I could never jump from Carmen to The Smiths.

I’ve just spent 2 hours in the bath, Mp3 on with same Genre. Same Album actually.
Defence and Aviation monthly, 2 pints of tea (Very large cup), packet of Fig biscuits (Fig Newtons to you americans) and 4 Walnut Whips (Well, they are only a mouthful big these days). And a LARGE purple Q. Street.
Luxury!
