Red and Bluebeard

Like most things, OD, I guess it is a matter of getting out what you put in. We have a beagle, who is about 3 years old, and very good with the kids. We haven't trained out of him the desire to go screaming out the front door at every opportunity, and he goes on digging and chewing festivals every now and again, but it doesn't sound like he is in the same class as the boxer.

That poor mutt looks like he has just been caught weeing on the carpet ...

No albatross either, I suppose ...

Now that is an alarm, DF! Sleeping through it might become permanent, though ... :-)

Sounds like you need a new alarm, Redleg

So no fingers on that clock either?

Nearly misread that last little bit, OD ....

Some get given the finger when the alarm goes off ... For that matter, clocks have hands, don't they? But no fingers?

Hard to knock that for a start to the day, OD ...

Hope it is a better one tomorrow, OD (ritual mantra of Demon supporters ... )

The Jesse Hogan of cats? I can't recall too many times I have seen an alligator on the wrong end of a fight ...

Obviously not a digital clock then, Redleg ...

Those of irish/scots descent?

Just slag off all nationalities -- that way, everyone gets offended ....

I don't like the sound of those "shady lawns" ... shady characters only!

There are those who claim the only thing better than beating the Pies by two points is beating them by one point .... Not me, though -- I am in the camp that says a twenty-goal win is twice as good as a ten-goal one ...

As long as your neighbour is neither a lyrebird nor an albatross ... :-)

Should have known to look on a golf course ... :-)

Where is DF at all? Hope the thieves didn't steal his internet connection. I thought he and OD would be swapping war stories as they both scrabble around on the floor trying to find their jaws ... :-)

You mean the People's Democratic Albatross-free Republic of Romsey, where lyrebirds are nervous, and alpacas roam free ...

You ran over an albatross as well? You must drive a tank! :-)

Is that like killing a mocking bird? You sound like a sick man, BBO :-)

Perhaps he did some dancing in the dark? And were you born in the USA, WJ? :-)

Hope it all goes well. But if the anaesthetic is Grunters whatsit, then you may need to allow time to recover from that as well ...

The comments on the thread I will let go through to the keeper.As for Kingswood Country and the like. I think it is reasonable to say that it reflected the Australia of its day - a rougher, cruder and arguably simpler place than today (which is not necessarily better or worse, just different)
