How did you find Gerber? I've only seen him once but he kind of rubbed me up the wrong way when I saw him Maybe that's just 'cos I'm a demanding so and so

I can see how there's potential for him to make a nuisance of himself, not that he'll get the opportunity with me. _________________ The Daily Turnout - First for profulgent flatulence

One of the girls 'round the corner collared me on the way back from Sainsbury's. I guess she's about ten or so.
"You do look like a man. Sorry."
I had my driving license in my pocket, so I showed it to her and her younger sister. There was no arguing with that.
"I have a hormone problem", I explained.
The older one winced.
"Will you be having plastic surgery?"
"I'd rather not."
"Are you taking any pills?"
The inquiring mind was gathering momentum, so I told her just enough to satisfy her curiosity and explained that "some things are a little personal" and left it at that.
The younger one said that her mum had warned her about talking to strangers, so I said, "Quiet right, and you shouldn't ask strangers such questions as 'are you a man or a woman'. Some people can get quite upset."
They've been pleasant enough; I just hope they get it from their mum and dad.  _________________ The Daily Turnout - First for profulgent flatulence

Herbie's been stringing too many victims from his favourite lamppost >>
Later, we saw a vivid rainbow >>
Herbie had a look in the tree but all he could find was a crock o'shite. He doesn't win them all.  _________________ The Daily Turnout - First for profulgent flatulence

The power went at half past twelve and Bozric died on the spot. Harris carried on because he's a laptop. I switched him off anyway because he's not up to much without a network to play with.
I phoned ScottishPower and they said no juice until half past three, so I went for a walk in Calderglen (a nearby gorge) for a few hours. It pissed with rain and I was soaked to the bone by four o'clock.
Good job Somerset folk have webbed feet. _________________ The Daily Turnout - First for profulgent flatulence

Hi Reenie,
I was just reading your story about your two neighbour children who were asking about your identity ect (I think you handled them very well, btw). I hope you'll forgive me for making light of the situation, but I was just struck by the thought of those two girls as the little twin girls in League of Gentlemen. You know the ones I mean, they're evil and they seem to know entirely too much about the local adult's secrets. Just count yourself lucky you weren't being cross examined by those two! Well, it made me laugh...
Joel

I'm not familiar with the League of Gentleman, though I have heard of it. I'll watch out for it...
I see from my diary that I stopped smoking three years ago today. _________________ The Daily Turnout - First for profulgent flatulence

Never mind Reenie. If you were a fan of the program you'd see the parallel. But the sense of humour is definitely NOT to everyone's taste.
Anyway, your story just reminded of how much kids really do see and understand far more than we usually give them credit for. I liked what you said to the girls because you didn't lie to them, but you did remind them to mind their manners by respecting other people's privacy by saying "some things are personal".

oh, yeah, and congrats on the smoke-free-versery. That's a huge accomplishment. I don't know if I could do it.

I found an old Mensa test in an unopened envelope that I've had for a year or so. I thought I'd give it a go and see whether the grey stuff still works.
It's supposed to take 45 minutes so I did it in 27. Had to order another one.
Later, I put some clove oil on my tooth that's been aching. It subdued the pain so I wondered if it might work on my sinus pain. I diluted five drops in 10cc of water and loaded it in a syringe and squirted it up my hooter.
Not dilute enough. Clove oil is a lot stronger than chili...
Well, my trigeminal nerve lit up and went on fire and I could feel the heat all the way across the left side of my head. Don't try it at home, kids. _________________ The Daily Turnout - First for profulgent flatulence

Deep Heat is another to be wary of. I've known lads scratch their balls just after applying it...  _________________ The Daily Turnout - First for profulgent flatulence
