Now I had a set like that,  later on a green book by Chambers,     Long time ago,  then we got a electric multiplier with built in Sin, cos and tangent.  Now that was the bees knees.  The very latest in 1967

Mine was green, too, 640, but the internet was wanting. I think the 'buff' immediately predated ours.

Are you left handed Timothy?

Haha Might explain a lot

Trying to take my mind off all things Dees, I just bought the magic, bread fresh container from Global Direct.

I am looking forward to eating bread that is not covered in mould.

Just wait 3 days. Better than waiting 3 weeks.  Or a McDonald’s burger 3 years or more !

Labi Siffre a favourite of mine.

It must be love.

Yes the strength is rising. It seems that every subject is treated with silence by those in power. It appears we are as usual just excepting all the [censored] the media and others dish out.

Can we try a Although come to sub thread of Rhyming slang here?

Cockney Slang like Bristol cities can also be included.

But I'm very interested in Australian ones.

JimmyGrant ( immigrant) apparently gets the nod for one of the first ones recorded.

Australian idioms and sayings like as Happy as Larry will be permitted if they are explained.

Interesting the origins of who Larry was are somewhat obscure. Some believe he was a boxer.

Although if I met someone who spoke not stop RS, I'd be inclined to kill them.

 

Melbourne supporter Titus O’Reilly covered the saying with Mick Malloy on their excellent podcast Sports Bizarre a while ago. It refers to an early Australian pugilist Larry Foley (1847 - 1917) who never lost a fight. He retired happy at 32 after collecting a purse of £1,000 (probably close to $1m today) for his final fight.

Dear, sweet 640… you do know there’s places on the internet other than Demonland that are teeming with Bristols, right? These sites are also free, and you don’t have to trawl through the MFCSS in order to see said Bristols… and they’ll bring more than a smile to your face 😜

What ever floats your boat, but I like reading demonland and watching pretty things. But fishing on the internet is not my thing.

question.  Does it matter where you get your appetite, if you only ever eat at home.

Doesn’t matter in the slightest. Unless of course your appetite is being whetted at an inappropriate place, for example, your mother-in-law’s house. 🤭

Yeah, it’s not a footy act.

Unless of course your feet leave the ground and you wilfully slam your shoulder into your unsuspecting wife’s head, knocking her out cold and consequently ending her career. Then it IS a footy act.

'Lefty' Orchard was not me, Neil.

However, whatever it is that you have noticed about me is evidently possible in a right-hander.
