Hi Wings.
I didn't realise I had posted the name of the photo'
Mavis was my good lady wife who I sadly lost a year and a half ago.
I used to take Mavis all over Europe in my lorry and yes she is sitting next to the beer keg/water barrel. The photo' was taken in Izola in Slovenia.

Puncher:
Can't read the truck - what does it say?????

"Stuart Taylor International, Specialists in Temperature Controlled ????". Is this truck the place where all the penguins will go if Lee's "stuff the hole in the ozone layer with Andy's old sox" fails?

Who is "Mavis"? Is that "Mavis" in the photo, next to the beer keg?

The added benefit of sock-weighing is also eco-friendly as one doesn't need to throw out a sock which will easily do another two days!
Doesn't really matter if you end up with an odd number of socks as, the next week, you may have to demote a singular sock!
I wonder how many penguins I have saved by my ritual sock-weighing?
Andy T.

Mate, how much environmental damage are you doing by weighing sox with a battery or electric-powered scale? Likewise, how much environmental damage are you doing by NOT reusing or recycling your 16 gr. sox? Will you now also weigh your underwear to avoid similar embarrassment?

Suggest this be next Wednesday's topic.

Crap products........... but what about the delivery service??? Second to none - same day, anywhere!! Top of mountains, middle of the desert ........... no probs. Should have concentrated on freight instead of products ........... DHL??, TNT?? ..... none can compete with ACME.

Not sure if the products suffered from poor quality or abuse/misuse by Wiley Coyote.

Agree with you concerning ACME's near instantaneous delivery service to even the most remote and desolate areas. Have you noticed that Wiley Coyote NEVER filed a damage claim?

Finally, now that I'm of an age and size whereby I'm actively having to consider starting to think about planning to take exercise [:'(] I have to ask - if exercise in general and swimming in particular are meant to be good for me - Why are Whales so fat???

1. Whales aren't fat; they're just solidly and muscularly built.

2. Alternatively, if whales are fat, you're not a whale.

3. Simpsons, Pinky & the Brain [in particular, its parody of Star Wars, The Third Man, The Island of Dr. Moreau, ABBA and Bill Clinton, and all the Pinky questions], Bugs Bunny [in particular, its parody of Barber of Seville -- remember Elmer Fudd's face when he thought he was growing hair only to discover it was grass?]

I like Tom & Jerry (sans socks)

Re: 4th Wedesday of July

I think the reason they huddle together is because of the lack of ice to walk on because of all you peopole out there who don't weigh their socks properly!
No wonder they don't look happy.

Andy T.

BTW Like an obsessed Beophile, I bought a Beomaster 1700, Beocord 1700 and a pair of vox S30s today for £16 plus P+P
I think I'm turning into a museum!

We could plug up the hole in the ozone layer with socks?

As for the Penguins, i'm sure they would welcome a bit of warmer weather. I see them huddled together in the snow storms, and not one of them looks to be having a good time!

Nice of you to point that out, Jonnie.
60% wool
38% polyamide
2% Elastane Lycra

Penguins Do you send them the worn out ones to stop them getting cold
Jonnie

By not throwing out both socks together, I am therefore buying less socks and saving transport which is wrecking the atmosphere,thereby enlarging the hole in the ozone layer which is ultimately melting the polar icecaps and the friggin' penguins have nowhere to walk.

It says "SOCKS FOR AFRICA"

When they get less than the required weight, they are donated to charity and shipped en-masse by a collective of sock-weighers to less than fortunate countries where sock weight can be acceptably less due to the increased climate.

Dear All:

The Looney Tunes (old) and the new are not bad; specially, Pinky and the Brain.

Music will continue to evolve by taking from the old (the good stuff) and re-interpreting. As Picasso said, good artist borrow, great artist steal.
