    Of course, best wishes to Rubes for a rapid and complete recovery but do have a thought for Mr. Chucken, parting with a Scirroco. This must be a painful time - he may even be devistayhid.

    I don't think many lady-type people understand the man - car relationship: there is usually ONE car that "does it" for a man. It becomes his friend and confidant. All ailments are attended to immediately and without grumbles and, even in a packed car park, THAT car stands out. The man - boat relationship is very similar.

    My brurdder has a TT - lovely car, dark black, moody, with a low purr until roused - but a Scirroco! Wow! To the uninitiated, the Scirroco is to cars what Wonder Woman was to legs.

    I brought my unit of transport / best buddy into the motor hostible recently. The work required wasn't complex (a new window regulator) but, if not done correctly, I knew that buzzes and rattles would result. On handing the keys over, I fixed my glare and told the nice man in the overalls, in cold, measured tones, that I had a wife, two kids, one grandson and a spanial woof, all of whom I was quite fond....."but I love that car! If you hurt it, it will tell me."

    Several tired phrases from cheap Hollywood movies were swapped but, when I arrived to pick up the car, that man was polishing my car.....with a clean cloth. That almost made me jealous! And my car isn't even a Scirroco!

    Commiserations, Mr. Chucken.

    Remember when they used to say "now, this won't hurt a bit" and then "YEEEOOOOWWWW! BLUDDY 'ELL"

    At least they're more honest these days. When approaching with a syringe, the nurses here usually say something like "you won't like this, but it'll do you good....." Reminds me of Gracie Fields singing voice.

    Sentiments I understand. My little darling was a black capri many years ago. I had to get rid of it after it was vandalised. But I still have fond memories.

    Some of my motoring adventures are posted in here somewhere, if anyone who has not seen them would care to look.

    My next car would have to be one of these if anyone can lend me the cash on a permanent deal?

    Yes, I foolishly established its from Oliver :p

    As for the injections...rat poison (aka Warfarin) into your stomach can be a nasty one...I have the bruises to show for it.

    I know this isn't a competition but, if it was, I'd win. I'm not allowed Warfarin anymore. It's too easy. Instead, I have the DAILY pleasure of injecting MY OWN TUM TUM with Innohep and / or Fragmin. This is an ouchy and unnatural act which I cannot get used to.

    However, I have developed some respect for junkies who seem to be able to inject themselves like Martini, i.e. anytime, anyplace, anywhere. Maybe it'd be easier if I wore a grey hoodie ..........


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,108 ✭✭✭Jellybaby1


    Yes Looksee, it is indeed a mewzikle, and you already sussed 'Olivah, Olivah!'

    Brens, that stuff you are injecting, Innohep, sounds like a Pharaoh I once knew, or was that Amenhotep? I bet he made you say your prayers all right!

    Folks, any news of Rubecula? Hope all went well and he's back on his keyboard soon.

    Oh oh! You've just reignited my fascination with ancient Egypt. That kept me busy for months in the early noughties. I came across a bewk written by an engineer (not an archaeologist, most of whom appear to be only able to communicate with themselves) describing the actual construction of pyramids in terms that even I could understand. Mindblowing stuff! I had no idea that simply getting a pyramid to stand up is an amazing / surreal achievement or that the flat, featureless exteriors ofter conceal intricate labyrinths of tunnels, chambers, traps, slots pointing towards specific stars that still work, etc!

    However, our very own Newgrange, while maybe not as pretty as the pyramids, is also an amazing / surreal piece of work. Precedes pyramids and leaves Stonehenge looking like an abandoned building site. (Crouches behind sofa, with woof, in anticipation of full frontal attacks from Ingerland.)

    So, in an attempt to distract possible aggressors, (thank Heavens this isn't AH) may I take this opportunity to recommend info-bewks written by non-specialists. For instance, the best bewk I ever read on physics was a biography of Einstein (and I hate to say this but...) written by a non-physicist journalist. In my type of plain English, he explained the maths, theories and concepts, wrapped in amusing anecdotes, that I just couldn't grasp previously from qualified people. Sorry, no links, I'm afraid. See, these bewks were made out of papyrus - very popular stuff in my youth. This new-fangled vellum will never catch on.

    Rubes got through his operation with flying colours. Last update was Thursday night when he was having fun on his painkillers. Apparently he was talking....A LOT. Not like him at all ;)
    I'll give a ring again this evening and hopefully will be able to talk to him.:)

    Excellent news, thanks!

    If he hasn't had it already, he should demand diamorphine. It's a fancy name for heroine and it's great stuff for what ails ya. Tastes great too, a little like aniseed. The nurses gave it to me for dessert for about a week and I've never even owned a grey hoodie. Mind you, I can remember the week before and the week after but not much of that week except that it was very colourful........like surreal!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,108 ✭✭✭Jellybaby1


    Has anyone else noticed that the week Rube has to 'go into hospital' (oh yeah?:rolleyes:) is the same week someone won 86.7 million Euros in the Euro lottery?

    Its so quiet in here.........have ye all forsaken me and taken off with Rube to some Caribbean hideaway?

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,552 ✭✭✭Layinghen


    Don't worry Jellybaby you are not alone here &#55357;&#56832;

    Just finishing up the celebrations here in the Kingdom after our victory yesterday (any excuse for a party&#55357;&#56860;&#55357;&#56860;&#55357;&#56860;&#55357;&#56860;)

    Celebrations to welcome the team home starting soon!!!!!

    You are right though that the timing of Rubes disappearance is very suspicious....


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,075 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    I have just stickied a new thread folks. Because everyone ignores Stickies (including me) I am mentioning its existence here so you might go and have a look. :D

    Ta very much!

    "I have just stickied a new thread." Ya whoh?? Is that a polite reference to incontinence? Maybe that seven year-old could translate for me? But I might disturb him for life.

    "....everyone ignores Stickies......you might go and have a look". Maybe the seven year-old knows what and where stickies are. But, if I asked him, would I have a noisy visit from his parents?

    Better not risk it. Safer not knowing nahfing about stickies.
