Bitter but optimistic

I'm going to take you down Jizz!

Ok you're on softy. May the beast farmer win!!!

All of the above dc. However when the tough times come ( ie the paper is late, the toilet blocks, Biffen tries to cadge a free lunch) that's when the real Alpaca farmers stand up!!!

The "lads" signed me up for Febfast - no grog for a month! (I suspect my GP may have put them up to it) . I have had no such abstinence for about 50 years - a significant number hereabouts. Any thought I'd mention this to show Jizza what real 2 balled farmers can achieve. Want to go head to head with me Jizz? My booze for your fags ( tobacco variety) Anyway aim to inhale a couple of shiraz tonight

Yes and no! Even I am wary of the ones who find a toothbrush growing between my toes erotic I need to speak to Lothario!

Told you so! Dairy farmers, govt subsidized, WAP!

Please note! We of Romsey's polite society will not be drawn into any puerile discussion of toilet or personal hygiene habits. Although, for those who have a genuine interest, I will note that the chronic fungal issue appears to be under control.

"drinking more water" There 's your problem Red!

No Earl Hood just wanted to give one of my delightful cousins her 15 minutes of fame. BTW are you enjoying a spot of Royal Tennis?

Just for you Moon

Just thinking about those little woven bracelets

Soft as butter at the beach. Won't last long.

You'd cheat you bastard! Your four teats to my two!

Is today "love bloody dairy farmers day"? I've been to more than one pub and club and never heard Alpaca farmers whingeing about work loads.

We "real farmers" always considered dairy farmers as bits of hobbyists and soft to boot!

You can purchase miken quite cheaply here Biff!

A few of those hand woven bracelets moon

I'm betting Biff won't sell his booze at Yogya prices BTW in Bali ATM - still a shite hole around Kuta legian

That's funny JVF those impromptu meetings often happen in Indonesia and are memorable . Last night I shared quite a few large bintang with 3 prostitutes and their pimp I was walking through a particularly sleazy gang (alley) when it started to bucket down so I heade fo cover . The girls where hilarious and enjoyed my imperfect Bahasa Indonesia I paid for the beer and had a very relaxed couple of hours The beer wasn't overly cold was the only problem

If so....... What a ....head!

I've tried arak in the past in village in Bali It made my eyes water. In keeping with my ambassadorial role I'm epitomizing the good tourist and sticking to Bintang

[quote name="jazza" post="1041401" timestamp="1420952836"yIt is every day people who abuse Muslim women on Melbourne trains. It is everyday people who swear at and vilify islander bus drivers. I am not naive to the reality of politics. My point is if every day people were a little more understanding to the fact that, if one looks,one will find common aims, desires and beliefs then they may be slower to stereotype. ]Nah,he's just doing what those 48ish woman do after visiting bali,they become all "spiritual" and fluffy. Until the next all you can guzzle bar appears.[/quote You are correct on one point Jizz- I did guzzle beyond reasonable limits last night and an only just emerging from the fog. Actually it was a warung and the grizzled old girl who ran it had a profitable sideline. Young guys would choose a bottled alcoholic drink which would then be dispensed into a soft drink bottle. They then head off on their motor bikes.

I hate to do it but I must be serious for once. Today I had the pleasure of visiting two Islamic Indonesian families. One was an older couple who had their daughter , husband and three kids living with them The other were a younger couple with 3 kids who had developed an agricultural business from scratch . I visited them because I know a relative in Australia. Their hospitality was warm and generous. We discussed ( with some language limitations) a variety of topics. like us they aspire to a good life for themselves and a better one for their children. They practise their religion but were unconcerned by my lack of it. They were appalled by recent events in the world. I have Been to Indonesia a number of times and find this attitude to be typical. I just wish more people had the opportunity to see everyday Indonesian people in their own home

I have to say I've never considered that line as a conversation starter! "Hi, my name's Uncle Bitter, are you familiar with fungal infections?" I think it needs a bit of work Red - perhaps some advice from Lothario?
