I only want news of injury recoveries and no new ones.

We start the season with several injuries as usual.

I'm getting a bit mulish about the repeated use of bullish.  Maybe time to spring the Club a thesaurus!

Is it just me or does there seem to be a big influx of new arrivals here at DL?

Good to see.

Who ever put the ads into Land with the young ladies in duplicate and sometimes very little that walk towards me. 
I thank you, not into purchasing their stuff but I cannot help watching it all and smile.

Life membership takes these from us!

The repeated use of bulltish plagues the odd thread too...

We are full of vim and vigor! Overflowing with Elan!

Or maybe it is time to go hard;

"We have great confidence in our prospects for the coming season, and I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Gawn when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

Twin girls, one with very prominent Bristols, almost staying within a very lovely gown,  and its all in duplicate.

 

Some very canny advertising,  nothing totally outside any rules,  but like the show Saturday night Live said   

very interesting

Bristols

Righteo then.

Nothing to see here folks.

Being British and all. What what.

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.

 

Sad day for the Dees and even sadder for Gus.

I wonder if people realise the ads they see...if they see them are tailored to them. They are a result of algorithms based upon the individuals search and pages read.

I'll leave it at that....

Keeping in mind this thread prohibits B$   .. I'm detecting the 'aroma' of the Elephant variety these days..    more and more.

I was wondering.  And I was always very good at mathematics. Algorithms have a lot to answer for.   Still.  A healthy mind in a not so healthy body. And the ads do bring a smile to my face.  I will just put up with it.

the latest is very quick, moves st quite a pace,

I have never searched morning sickness meds, acne creams, incontinence pads, teens jewelry, or hotels in zurich to name a few

I'll leave it at that

Another quiet week for the Dees.

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.
