It's all about the way it's said, Bob. :)

That's why we chose that.

Hard to mess it up.

I have changed the wording of the verse Heather, it was a bad idea, I wouldn't want it thought that I condone being a crass oaf to young ladies. :oops:

Ah Nev took about 80 percent of the funniness out now.

I know Heather is a real prude who never swears or sends out rude e mails but i would put it back.

Oh Neville, you didn't? Put it back, put it back; it was funny. Go, on, you know you want to!

Are you trying to impress the young ladies Neville? ;)

Neville, now the rest of us just look strange making comments about something that isn't there anymore.

A bit of fun never hurt anyone. :lol: :lol:

It is a fact that laughter is good for you.

I'll have to think about it. :roll:

I know what you mean Darren, that's why I put an explanation on.

Me being just an old pensioner/dag, I haven't a hope of impressing any young ladies, Heather. ;)

HAND - Hang about - no don't - bit of a worry to a bloke with a groin problem :lol: :lol: or maybe not.

Most check out chicks do a good job - dealing with the public is not easy - anyone who has knows exactly what I mean :roll: I was just curious as to how Neville could tell she was gay not that it matters :?

When I get the "Have a nice day" from the CC I'm always tempted to say "Thank you, but I have other plans." At least HAND doesn't require an answer. Around here the mantra seems to "and how has your day been so far?"

Mind you that can lead to some interesting conversations. I'm sure I've told it before but at the risk of sounding like an old fart (well I am actually :lol: ) here it is again.

Conversation at Woolies checkout.

CC ... and how has your day been so far?
me .. not so good I just found a snake in the bird aviary
CC .. oh what did you do?
me .. I hosed it, I've discovered they don't like to be hosed and will move on.
CC .. I've heard that works with crocodiles too.
me .. I hope I don't find one of those in my bird aviary
both of us ... :lol: :lol: :lol:

then me walking away wondering if anyone has ever tried repelling a crocodile with a garden hose, ummhh. :?

We're 'different' in Ipswich.
