EXCUSE VOID! I had rheumatism when I was 11  

Well....they said it was rheumatism, but as a word it doesn't mean much does it? My knees would collapse as I walked down hills and stairs, I grew out of it eventually, and it got me out of doing PE with the eeeevilest PE teacher ever, so I was happy

This is actually reminding me of when Rincewind is transported to the land of XXXX  
And he flies his bullroarer and makes it rain the first time anyone has ever seen rain in the land of Fourecks   

Huh?

 

The last continent, by Pratchett, part of the discworld series :

Back in the present, Rincewind attempts to run away from his destiny, but in fact runs towards it. With the secret assistance of Scrappy, he eventually ends up wrongfully arrested for sheep theft and taken to Bugarup, where he is hoping to find a ship to escape on. Along the way he subsequently ends up inventing several things that are considered Australian Icons in the real world, for example beer soup(vegemite), putting corks on a string round his hat to keep flies off, as well as becoming the subject of a ballad that is hinted at being a parody of the song "waltzing matilda" when he is caught apparently stealing a sheep by a billabong.A gigantic circular storm surrounding Fourecks prevents any ships from leaving, however. The people of Bugarup are enthusiastic for Rincewind, since they regard sheep thieves as folk heroes and encourage him to escape, while not actually allowing him to. He finds a hidden message on the ceiling of his holding cell telling him to check the hinges on the door. He discovers that he is able to lift the door off its hinges and escape.

Well worth reading if you've never done so    

Thanks Gel. That's much clearer now.

Oh

Erm......... how about senility?

You would love it, honest  

I'm great fan of the discworld series, they are hilarious.... anyhow not a book club I realise... so back to the inanities of BB  

Suffered with it all my life.

Wouldn't be a JJ fan if you hadn't

I've got it, how about incontinence, I mean you wouldn't want me peeing all over the shack now would you?

Did you happen to hear the new girl Rachel going on about she's already had a 'mid-life' crisis!   

I don't know about her, but I'm having one being stuck in here!!!

Well that explains the smell.

Menty, it doesn't matter how old, senile and smelly you get..... you will always have a seperate room here at the shack. Cos we lubbs ya.

You survived the afternoon then Ditty?

My brother is back to being my brother again...   the influence of the twin set & pearls ex bird has worn off...   twas ok!  

Lawnmower is fab... and still in the back of my car!

This is cruelty at the highest level, there must be a society or something I can appeal to, the RSPCM or something! 'goes to google'

Mentalist Association
