Off Topic The 'why' thread

I prefer the Yellow Tail Shiraz myself, not bad at all and goes lovely with a nice Pecorino (spelling) and a slack handful of unsalted cashews.

 

That's some reply, mate

I've just seen Sammie to bed after an emotional night. She's really opened up, which is great and eases my anxiety about her.

I'll see you on Tuesday. Are you coming for a drink afterwards or will you be heading straight back to work?

 

Why did the chicken cross the road?

 

Where did all these replies come from all of a sudden

All I can say about Gordon, is if you were to meet him he's actually really laid back and far from pedantic. It's a shame he's coming across the way he is to posters on this forum.

He's really stepped up for me this last month, in my personal life, and gone beyond what I expected.

Anyway chaps, I'm off to bed. It's been a long day and I've got an even busier day tomorrow

 

@Burly Hurley

I can see you have been sorted

Welcome to the forum.

 

Thanks for sorting that out Santa Tel.

Keep that thread going though. It looks like it's the only way on here at the minute. Bit weird that.

 

Glad to help, Comm got you in.

Enjoy pal.

 

To meet Burly Hurley and welcome him to the forum.

 

Cheers to Comm as well then.

 

Would've been nice southern fried but cheers mate!

 

Just a pm mate. Seems it worked.

 

Got to be higher up in the pecking order for that.

 

I haven't got a clue mate, you'd need to ask the chicken, but it sounds plausible.

Welcome Burly.

 

Why are wimmen so sensitive to humour? Told the wife there was a patch of water in the kitchen and to be careful (H&S trained) so she asked me just to wipe it up. Just 'cos I said I would as it was important that she finished the pies she was baking she took the hump.

She took it again when she asked me to take the towels out of the tumble dryer and I asked her where it was. No pie for me though when she said I would starve when I was left on my own. I reeled off the takeaways and pie shops along about half mile over the road and she lost it completely.

 

Fair play

 

That sounds great about Sammie, and I'll not be working on tuesday

 

I like that, too, but last night was for one of my favourite Chardonnays (with salmon)

p.s. I've never tried Pecorino

 

Why did both Reid and Bruce build up bloody good teams, then ultimately it went tits up?

 

It wasn't originally a rabbit. It's a medieval belief and originally it was hare. Because of the way that hares give birth, people never encountered very young and helpless hares (like they would with rabbits, perhaps mainly because they kept rabbits for food) and so assumed, because they never saw very young hares in the spring but saw adolescent ones later on, that hares laid eggs. Because, like you say, eggs are a symbol of fertility the egg and the hare became linked in peoples minds and the hare (which later became a rabbit) became the distributor of these symbols of fertility became the hare. God knows why they didn't just pick a chicken.

 

I can understand Santa's post (no.28) better now that it's about a tortoise and a hare
