    Good on you guys for reminding me.

    While away on a youth camp we heard an excruciating scream from another room racing through the door only to find every fellow in the room in stitches except one who had the after burner system trial back fire Needles to say for a few days he couldn't sit down.
    Fuel was camp food for a week and tank water a good methane source.

    Flatulence. Never ceases to amuse people and yet it must be one of the top five basic actions of the human being .

    Btw, you know the old saying of lightening never striking twice in the same place (a bit like swinging an axe for the uninitiated), well I met somebody who had been hit twice by lightening. In both instances he was leaning against the same copper drainpipe off a church. Presumeably he survived as the copper was a better conductor than the human body. It was enough to give him a hot, fuzzy feeling . I also imagine that under the circumstances he lost count of exactly how far away the lightening was as it had just been demonstrated beyond doubt .

    I also assume he propped himself against a very different piece of wall after that.

    Regards

    I'd be interested to know what subject that man was discussing before he was struck and who it was in the group who asked for 'a sign'. Not only might he stand in a different spot he may talk about different things now lol.

    Not sure how your daughter will react to the free dating benefits you've advertised Dave. One can only hope she doesn't check on your forumly activities.

    WRT the lighters, it's all well and good to admire a good bit of muzzle flash, but have mercy on the poor people that unwillingly release a projectile at the same time.

    I was in Adelaide last year for the show. You should have messaged me then. In could have introduced you. I'm sure you'd be better than when she is with. You do woodwork yes? You must be better

    Default Nothing to do with woodwork - got that right!!

    When I read the thread heading & knowing Dave lives in the country I was expecting some sort of educated discussion;
    BUT WOW was I ever wrong... a whole list of tales with a lot more laughter is what I got.....
    BobL, remind me not to attend your prayer times unless outdoors...
    Paul, your mate was fortunate to be a good church goer....
    And the rest of you best get to see a "continence" specialist before you loose it all.
