No ..it's thanks to you all of you and of course the Archdruid :-D

Waits for the next shop that the Archdruid goes into.... :-D

Well done Sue - Da iawn. This has been a most entertaining thread.
Can't wait for your next thought provoking "subject" :-D

Tec, in anticipation.

Sue, That letter was on Blog Menai, I am sure. But it is not to be found at all tonight. Don't even know when this incident happened. Sounds like it was well before Christmas.

Those who live in or near Pwllheli may well remember all the customers fighting in the shop, the cashiers in tears, police vans arriving, this tall man of 83 being dragged across the car park into the Black Maria struggling and screaming "Rhyddid am Feirdd" (Freedom for Poets).

One thing is for sure, over 1,000 Genes posters will be rivetted to their screen next August when the old boy wins the Chair for his piece about Spar Change (Ceiniogau Spar) :-D

Was Hayley such a good girl in Barry at 16? Very disappointed - was looking forward to some excitement there ;-)

Awwww, I missed the 1K post :-(
Well, just gonna have to make do with the fame, fortune, fantastic physique, and an overactive imagination, I guess...

<3 Sue

:-D :-D :-D

((can I get out of this soggy hole now,pse ???? And the helmets leaving a rim on my forehead, so not '13-sih!:-S))

MrD. Are you in a soggy hole in your onesie? Too flippin cold tonight for the elderly to be out. Keep warm :-D ;-)

I was shopping in a supermarket in Aberdare this morning. Got to the checkouts and chatted to the young man about the snow, about how expensive Welsh lamb and tinned tuna has become. He then asked me if I needed any 5p bags or a bag for life for 12p. Then he asked if I needed any savings stamps or if I wanted cash back.

He then said how much I owed "deugain punt, hanner can ceiniog". I asked him to repeat the amount in English, my chosen language. He simply repeated "deugain punt.......... :-\ :-\ :-\ ;-)

Diolch yn fawr iawn Tec :-D

Hmmmmm I wonder what news report I can find next, that is current and reported as soon as possible after it happened John!

MrDaff go home now and get into clean civvy clobber. ;-)

We were in our local supermarket and the young man at the checkout said "how are you today, guys". I said I'm not a guy and I would prefer to be called 'madam'. I also said that I would like a girl to serve me and one who speaks with an Aussie accent ;-)

Well done on reaching 1000+, Sue :-D :-D

Don't believe that for one moment, SueMaid.

Surely they do not yet have supermarkets in Australia :-S :-S

On a more serious note, I have noted waiters in restaurants (Nandos last week for example) calling everyone guys. Young women, mature ladies, young men, old fogeys. I prefer the local boyos or the cockers of my childhood :-D ;-) Guys are what went in a pram first week in November to beg for our fireworks money.

Oh, Sue ! Can't go home yet!!

Recording my 1969 'Blodwyn Pig' LP to PC ... gotta wait til that's finished at least :-(

Besides, cats have locked the bl**dy back door, so gonna have to squeeze through the cat flap - can hear them chuckling now :-(

Enough room in onsie to be a twosie now, John, sigh.....

Are you saying I'm telling fibs John:-0

Certainly not fibbing, SueM. Economical with the truth, perhaps. Anything to big Oz up. ;-)

And I am also doubting that men work in any service indusry in NSW :-S

You must be worried. Sue's thread is less than 60,000 behind your Oz thread now :-)

I'm sure it was just a little job to tide him over until he can afford a horse so he can herd the cattle and sheep. Must ask the waiter in the coffee shop if he's gay :-0

Your cats ain't as daft as they look :-D

Of course you coul lob a stone through the front bedroom window....scratch that, you still won't get in ROFLMAO :-P

Sue, I'd big up Oz for you, although the supermarket layouts confused me for ages..now the markets were fantastic for fresh fish and seafood. In Sydney ate loads of it. :-)

Perth had less supermarkets but meat, fruit and veg and fish all separate. Although pricier the meat was good quality.

Cattle and sheep???

Over in the West we still try to herd the Kangaroos, and what's a coffee shop; I'm still waiting for my billy to boil :-S

Well done Sue , ??

She just lit the blue touch paper and stood back ;-) ;-) ;-) Good tho wasn't it :-D:-D

She was a side liner...tho credit where credit is due her half a dozen posts ;-) ;-) were well expressed and extremely eloquent , a bit difficult when you're flat on your back for half the time.

Blinking heck , Barry Island got a mention , I used to go there on Sunday school trips.

Yeah nice one Sue, bring on the next topic .

Hope your legs are going in the right direction for this forthcoming op, you don't want to end up in Bodelwyddan ;-) ;-)
Take care
luv
Sandie.xx

Aaaw Allan shall we send you some via freight? I did hearStarbucks was coming you way because of the tax breaks ;-)

I have one leg going in the right direction the other one is static...circles are boring after a while.

I have promised myself a lie in tomorrow, my brain needs a complete rest

I am off to bed, nite, nite x

I suppose next thread is "is it possible to be gay and Australian". Now, I have some gay friends (in a friendly sort of way) but none have been Antipodean. Not even in Starbucks.

Australia has whetted my appetite for a visit. My mum loved it when she visited one of Colwyn Bay bridesmaids about 1980 who had settled in Barwon Heads - near Melbourne, I think. And Sue Crutch, SueMaid and Allan (on the edges of civilisation as we know it) make it sound a great place. Daughter and sil are there now. 3 days in Melbourne and I think they are on an island in Great Barrier Reef as we write. So will look forward to their report :-D :-D

Nowhere approaches Wales for me, though. Would just prefer to erase 1st December till 28th Feb from our Welsh calendars :-( And the neighbours are not so nice :-(

"on the edges of civilisation as we know it" - hilarious :-D :-D It takes more than that to goad me JLC ;-)
