I have a question relating to our highly regarded co-resident of California & New Zealand.

I refer of course to Lon.

Do you think that when he was an infant, he was known as Babylon?

I'd ask him myself but I chickened out when he said he does Hexes

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

This is an interesting question, I am uncertain how I could go about finding out the answer. You need have no fear of the use of witchcraft, it is only effective if you believe that it is. A bit like religion then eh?

I apologize if my replies to recent posts has been a little slow, my excuse (and this is 100 percent honest, honest) is that my dog ate the flippin ac adaptor's power cable for my laptop, what about that then?, they don't cover that in the manual let me tell you. That actually could be a thread, i.e. "what are your pet's annoying habits?"

I do most of the cooking, and occasionally I do the washing up 'If I've told her once, I've told her a million times. Buy Fairy Liquid and not that cheap Happy Shopper stuff...'

....why can't women do as their told, Galbally ? The Happy Shopper washing up liquid is false economy...

It is oneof man's eternal quests to find a compliant mate. My advice is to preempt your better half's activities bybuying the fairy liquid and then deducting the cost from the household budget.

Interesting, this problem is more common than I thought. I shall contact the Hewlitt Packard corporation at once, to determine an appropriate course of action.

I presume that your better half is also Scottish? After having lived with my ex-partner who was Scottish for 5 years my advice would be to do as previously suggested, but hide the knives, you understand I'm sure.

Talking of memories, I was in liverpool over the weekend at the liverpool-charlton match, so seeing as I was in Liverpool I decided to do the magical mystery tour of the beatles houses and things like penny lane and strawberry fields. I must say it was a fun thing to do, and educational as well. I shall show you a picture of me outside the house where paul mccartney grew up.

That's cool and it's a great pic Doc.

Is it the one with the thing that looks like it might be a plaque?.

This tour sounds like a must-do for anyone that finds themselves with time to spare in Liverpool, and can remember that halcyon era. Good one.

Thanks kram, it is the house with the plaque. All the other houses were on the tour as well, along with famous liverpool landmarks, and places immoratalized in song, penny lane is best because there is a shelter on a corner in the middle of roadabout, and the barbers shop showing photoraphs is across from that, and a bank with the banker and the motorcar is across from that, and nurses from a hospital whom I'm sure must sell poppies on rememberance day, and children laughing, and when I was there we were under a blue suburban sky, and it all fits together perfectly. I have loads of pictures and will include them if people would like to see some beatles trivia.

Unfortuatly that was impossible to achieve as I was in Liverpool and Abbey Road is of course in London, However, perhaps I will do it when I come over to the Capital in April.

Yes, we need to discuss that. I also went to anfield to watch the pool play, even though I am a born and bred villa man, still it was great even though that fowler goal was onside, still better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Okay here are some more pics, one with me and the European cup that liverpool won last year in instanbul, one with the magical mystery tour bus with a mate on penny lane, and one in the stands in anfield before kickoff, I demeaned myself to put on the pool scarf to please my friends and for personal safety reasons!

Dear Arnold, yes there was a disturbing shift in the earths graviational axis during my visit to merseyside right at the moment of that visit to the cup room. I think Barca are gonna skin you alive tonight but you can laugh at my opinions as I am only a villa fan. Oh well.

As an Aston Villa supporter, I have been in the illustrious company of fellow supporters, Prince William, Tom Hanks, Nigel Kennedy and even the new Conservative leader , David Cameron, but to find that the legendary Galbally can be added to that list makes me want to celebrate by posting a picture for your pleasure. Come on you Lions.

That is sound advice sir. Well it seems like the pool are gone now as well. Any advice required by liverpool fans on how to deal with the teams poor showing lately and gabrial cisse in general, do please get in touch.

Is there really any need to ask?

Drink.

Personally I am not a great fan of paddy's day, its a bit of a busman's holiday in Ireland, seeing as we don't need much of an excuse to drink round here, still it is our day I suppose so I might as well make the most of it.

No, that is true, there are no snakes in Ireland, but whether St. Patrick got rid of them by banging a crozier 3 times on the hill of tara is anyone's guess. I suspect that its got more to do with the country being a relatively isolated island. Anyway, how are you doing LC, havn't talked to you in a while, I must of course retain my professional and detached demeanor on this thread.

I'd rather have a fish supper....as for St, Andrews Day? it goes by like any other, unless maybe up north. But it's as you said, who needs an excuse.

You are a man after my own heart, thou I am quite fond of the haggis, nips, and tatties I must admit.

OK

Is there a whim-inspired fool,

Owre fast for thought, owre hot for rule,

Owre blate to seek, owre proud to snool,

Let him draw near;

And owre this grassy heap sing dool,

And drap a tear.

Is there a bard of rustic song,

Who, noteless, steals the crowds among,

That weekly this area throng,

O, pass not by!

But, with a frater-feeling strong,

Here, heave a sigh.

Is there a man, whose judgment clear

Can others teach the course to steer,

Yet runs, himself, life's mad career,

Wild as the wave,

Here pause-and, thro' the starting tear,

Survey this grave.

The poor inhabitant below

Was quick to learn the wise to know,

And keenly felt the friendly glow,

And softer flame;

But thoughtless follies laid him low,

And stain'd his name!

Reader, attend! whether thy soul

Soars fancy's flights beyond the pole,

Or darkling grubs this earthly hole,

In low pursuit:

Know, prudent, cautious, self-control

Is wisdom's root.

Its written in a scottish dialect, but I think its good.
