I reckon you need to get out there and start using these words and report back to us on new ones :yess:

Didn't he do well!

Fortunatly the 2.5m snake that I disturbed went in the other direction, which was good as it was going faster than I could run.:runhills: Even after getting back here, it was months before we got out of the habit of picking up stones from above, rather than putting your hand under them in case...

Totally agree with you Gemini.

My family holiday every year at Carrick Bay. Rock-pooling, beach walks and sea swimming for the hardy. Gem rock museum at Creetown worth a visit but the Butterfly farm closed a long time ago even though it's in the brochures and the local tourist board don't know. Gatehouse of Fleet is a nice...

I think you've been at the sherbert this evening Ziggy.

Armandii, apparently the new film is called 'On Stranger Tides'.

Loverly pictures sheal. Brings back memories of the two weeks we spent there. Capilano suspension bridge... now that is a challenge but well worth the visit. I`m not a city guy, but I have to say I really enjoyed Vancouver. As far as the weather goes it`s a bit like ours but does tend to have...

Got mine probably March 2010, still not needed to use it, though..

Cor, you like the hard stuff Ziggy. Years ago I was given some vodka in a re-used tonic bottle. The only ID on it was a white label saying 100% proof. It had to be drunk with a mixer or it blew the top of your head off and tore your throat to shreds!
