Its pretty straight forward all I want is weeds removed and the trees trimmed a bit, Karen takes care of the mowing. Oh and the occasional trailer if mulch put down.
The chauffeuring would pretty much be a 15 minute drive to the airport every third week, then a collection from the airport two weeks later.
And maybe driving me to jobs round Perth on my week off, you would also need to pick up subway for my lunch, you choose the sub....

if you haven't seen it its a true classic if you like 70's coked out comedians.

Phew though you were taking my attempts at humour seriously.

Only thing I take seriously is Scotch, knives and weightlifting !

Last time i saw Shane McGowan he looked bit different. Excellent musician btw. Few legos missing. Must be hard life of an Irish ballad singer.

"...I have a villa somewhere. It is white and by the coast..."

"...It is always summer; warm, but not oppressively so; the fine lace white curtains move in the breeze and the jasmine is always flowering and pungent..."

I'm feeling rather lyrical; I feel a poem building in my soul, but it is time for my bed and I'll simply lie in bed with lines and verses and whole complete ideas and feelings writhing and turning and coming to the fore, only to be turned over and over and written on my brain like pencil on slate washed by the innocent morning rain and so forgotten with only a faint, slight scent remaining; like the scent of sage in the garden when you get up and go out to see what the day is like, and smile at the sun. And stretch.

Nice post there, Carl. Interesting how you are manliest when you are writing free verse. Hemingwayesque, almost. I've been sitting in my attic all day, and I gave a few moments of thought to you. My conclusion was that you don't want a new jacket, or even pair of boots, you want a new you.

Just look at what you're saying.
You don't like ties;
You want to be somewhere else, but don't know where;
You want to be where there is no struggle for life.
You want to do what you want to do, but you don't know what that is.

Instead of a jacket, how about you try your birthday suit?

That's a very nice post there Franky, thanks very much for the words...

And I think you're correct on all counts. Isn't the attic a bit chilly?

Foot long or 6 inches?
Italian Herbs and Cheese, whole wheat, white or honey oat bread?
Any cheese?
What type of cheese?
Toasted?
Salads?
Pickles?
Sauce?
What TYPE of sauce?
Cookies?
(there's probably a type of cookies but I've never gone there)
Eat in take away?

I just want a SANDWICH, that one up there in the picture. Stop hassling me.

I to have just said "I would like the one in the picture." All you get back is a blank stare....

My daughter who graduated this spring and is killing time waiting for her new job to start this fall is staying with us. She has worked at Subway and another sandwich joint. She said i refuse to work another service job again. Subway was the worst having to deal with indecisive people!

Well he is earnest, and his hems would get in the way, unless he rolled his trousers up, or buys those trousers that are 6/8 length on everyone else.
