Yes, Persie, a bunch of geriatric ones

shoe repairers?

Evening Grumpy Bum ;-) :-D :-D :-D

As Sir Humphrey asked, "Who is Round, and to what does he object?" :-D :-D

I thought it started with bol...

That's a load of bal....

Oh never mind ;-) :-D :-D :-D

My daughter's puppy dog slippers when she was little were called Ping and Pong.. Don't suppose that counts.....>>>>

Yin/Yang?

I get mine sorted on Tuesdays :-D

True! I live in Hippyville. See my thread about mugwort

:-(

My Yin is OK, but my yang is bent.

Persie, it wasn't a story as such.

I was on Mersey's happy thread being my usual grumpy self. I'd also just received some bad news about a friend's health, which I said was a chink in my armour.

I then made reference to Ying and Yang (more correctly yin-yang) and no doubt you can put two and two together come up with five, and a possible racist slur.

The posts were reinstated ;-) :-D :-D :-D

I will be watching.. bleedin' cold here this am.. but sunny as so going out to keep warm..

Persie (BTW you will need to pm or e-mail me the story that led to you being RR..d I wasn't around LOL. as Sergeant Schultz would say I know nussing)

G'day Persie :-)

I'll PM my other verses to you...not too far out ;-) :-D :-D

Allan

PS I've now got my brain into gear for SH, I can't wait to find out how long it will be before it is RR'd :-D :-D

And as for fortune and as for fame
You never invited them in
Though it seemed to RRer
They were what you desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions
They promise to be
The answer was here all the time
You'll stay on the boards
What will be will be.

Jem, I believe that dragons also have a Chinese affinity. They represent wealth and power :-D :-D :-D

I should also mention at this point that my sister in law is Chinese, and still returns there frequently to visit her family, who are wealthy

In also know a joke about three ladies in China who were asked by their father about the type of men they would like to marry. I'm pretty sure that dragons were involved somewhere ;-) ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D

Mersey, to be serious for a minute (and the time starts now! ;-))

I know that I have a weird sense of humour, also a wide vocabulary, particular after spending 14 years in the Army Reserve and 5 years working at the Fish Docks in Grimsby, but amazingly from a very early age, my parents taught me to exercise my judgement and to know when certain actions are appropriate, or inappropriate.

I believe that I have also taught my two children the same thing, so I do actually find it demeaning when a third party tries to exercise that judgement on my behalf.

I have posted things on the Boards that some people have had a gripe with, but they have sent me a pm: post removed, no problem.

But, hey ho.......... :-S (30 seconds :-D :-D :-D)

THE DRAGON LADY IS BACK!!!! :-P :-P :-P

I've been an Ozzie for long enough!!!!

The kangaroo has been put away, until the next meeting of the SWAA (Solidarity With Allan Association)

How many members are in this club so far I wonder??? ;-) ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D

Allan smiles will always win....we had a good laugh with GP, now you have impressed him so much he too wants to be a Humbug :-D :-D

Thanks, Mr_M :-)

Mersey, no doubt the RR'r will also have to Google (not a pretty sight ;-) :-) :-)) but even then I doubt that they will grasp what I mean.

Now, if the person is a fan of Terry Prattchett, then they will know right away, but I don't think that anyone who enjoys his books would have such a small mind :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Glad you're staying Allan........ :-D

I confess I had to google :-D :-D :-D ;-)

Bob, I certainly don't cry Wolf, and I wont let a poor excuse for a person hound me from the Boards,

I have been RR'd before, once for a limerick (about limericks) which did not contain anything untoward unless you don't like the English words 'virgins' and 'erotic', but I let it slide, as I did when I was reported for using the word Vaseline, which by the way is in the dictionary.

However, when someone chooses to use anthropomorphic personification to convert the philosophical principles of ying and yang into objects of racial vilification, I draw the line ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D
