Some things I will never get. Office speak? out of the Box, Blue Sky Thinking, At the end of the Day, how on this earth did I manage to run both military and Civvy offices without resorting to such silly sentences. As to Bonding, every one cuddle? sing the song for the day or works anthem? all go Paint Gun Playing, well I did use guns, Real Bullets, far better result. Golf definitely a good walk spoilt, better off walking the pooch.
Three of the lads in the family have motor bikes, they were discussing a long distance ride from Stockton to Whitby then on to Scarborough and back over the moors. Maps were out mileage worked out times set. I sat listening and never said a word_______ about the six winter months I rode from Aldershot to Stockton after parade on Friday then back again after lunch Sunday. It was during the winter of 1955 cold wet snow and ice, I had waterproof trousers a leather coat and helmet apart from the odd stop to warm up it was in one go each way every time. Six months later it was back to the Desert.
Motor bikes fast cars were all the same to me they got you from A to B, we did the Defensive and Offensive driving course with the London Met, they came to us and were more interested in firing our machine guns. A mornings driving a liquid lunch in the Mess then a very interesting afternoon, we set up a row of weapons plenty of ammo and took off in their cars, bumps dents and grazes were part of the course. Having learned to drive in trucks they were my first and last love everything else were classed as toys.
I didn't get the pile of scrap girders they had at Chatsworth the other year.
I don't get why people complain about a lack of lifeguards on beaches, but how many do you think would put a quid in a collecting box for the RNLI at the beach entrance?
I always thought that Picasso was having a huge laugh on the Art World. He knew that from a certain point, he could turn out any old rubbish and the art world would ooh and aah and put a high price on it. He generated thousands of paintings that only came to light after his death, so that if they all came onto the market after his death, the prices would plunge.

Frank.
did someone say golfers are dull?
Not sure but I'll say it - but only going on the ones I know. They also seem to be Bridge players which is even duller.

I don't get the need to quote an entire post instead of deleting the unnecessary bits - especially when immediately following it with one's own.
Several people do it on the walking forum I use. I usually skip their posts - life's too short...
I don't get apathy. but I can't be a***d to do anything about that....
Scroggin - I do like Modern Art, but I can see why others don't. Can I persuade you with this?
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
