There are still lambs in the fields round here, they aren't the 
fluffly little spindly legged and wobbly things. They are about 80% of 
their mothers size but still suckling. Poor ewes, they get their back 
legs lifted of the ground when a lamb goes in and head butts the udder 
to get stimulate milk production...

That's the ovine equivalent of putting them through college. I can feel 
myself getting head butted in the wallet every six months when the 
tuition bill comes in.

Every 6 months??!!!! You're lucky....!

Mine still like a drink and there's always some band or festival or other 
trip.....

And I'm STILL paying my own University fees!!

And a wife who goes to the shop for bread and comes back three hours later 
with so much stuff that you can't close the fridge door! When it gets to 
half an hour I ring her mobile to cry, "Shhhtoppp!!! - but she has it turned 
it off - "TO SAVE MONEY"....

And all I ask is a holiday... just a little one... a couple o' nights 
away.... one even... OK, a Mars Bar and a good film...

That isn't a sign.

Lambs ont road, yes, big fat ones, all ready for eating. No! Noooooo! I
can't, I can't. I don't eat lambs.

Edith

New sign-and this is true .-

Beware-Oncoming traffic in the middle of the road. Oh how we laughed at that
one.

Have you ever eaten 'dog?' That fat dog of yours would make a fine grill.

Could be shortened to: "Beware - Tourists"

I rather like the "CATS EYES REMOVED" signs. Obviously the vets are touting 
for business in Cumbria.

I got off lightly #2 cost me $54800 total for four years at Texas A&M.  That
an all inclusive price, food, housing, playing, auto (not the capital cost),
tuition, books, etc etc.  Ain't Quicken wunderful!

Mind you I had to work for a year in the Magic Kindom to finally clear the
debt.

That's not bad. Fortunately we're regarded as In-State, so this saves me 
$7000 per annum. She's entitled to this, so long as she had spent 2 
years in a recognised NY High School - regardless of whether she was 
'documented' or not. But of course, like the illegals, she's barred from 
most scholarships, until her Pop gets his Green Card. There are very few 
advantages to going through this the legal way.

Aye....in my mouth, rotating my faulse teeth and sucking, I'm glad I'm
reaching my after years. My son stuffed 30 in my hand today for watching
his son last night and today. Corse we went to town together and managed to
spend half of it, on him, his son, at the Horten Makrell Festival :0)

Grandma.

That reminds me of the time when I stood outside a petrol station waiting
for the bus and looked up. I was standing under a sign that said,
selvbetjenning (sorry, I can't remember the word in English.)

It makes me smile when I see the sign "Danger - men at work".
What exactly do they mean? Are they saying that men are 
generally so reckless and incompetent that some major disaster 
may occur at any second? Are they concerned about women 
drivers who might faint in shock at the sight  of men working?
They needn't be: in my experience of roadworks, there is almost
never anyone doing any work. Maybe they're just being ironic.

The best advert I'm remembering from the side of a Cumberland or Ribble 
Bus about 25 years ago, was a picture of one of the smaller lakes, set 
amid the fells, with the text: "Have You Passed Brother's Water?"

Morning Sleepy. Oops! It's after twelve. How are you?

Road workers-same all over the world. There's always one leaning on a brush
shank.

Not exclusively Cumbrian, though. You'll see that anywhere there's a tight 
bend on a narrow road. Older drivers still honk their horns when approaching 
these spots.

There's a firm in the Edinburgh area who make portaloos: they're called

I'm hoping that sign is carried by someone employed to 
follow Edith around, and means "Beware - mad woman".

Ah, it's always after twelve - morning Edith. I'm feeling much better,
thanks ... I've started singing to myself again, which is a good sign
- it means I'm happier, stronger, my brain is working a little
better...

Me too... er, the dressing gown I mean, not the woman bit...

You haven't seen the signs here that say 'topp fart.' Fart meaning speed in
capital letters-titter.

rofl. So you've got a brain, hey? Not bad. Glad to hear you are feeling
better. Nice to know you are singing to yourself again too. It's when you
start talking to yourself that they come and take you away. (cussing doesn't
count)I could do with some of that 'brain working again. Mine seems to have
stayed in Cumbria on holiday. I keep getting flash backs.

I thought so. I keep finding bits of your brain kicking around the streets 
here. You'll be glad to know I stopped the dogs from eating them.

Singing to yourself is good. I do it all the time. I feel it's a sign that 
I'm in control of my insanity. What do you sing?

That's good. The vitamin C in them will make your lost bits of brain 
re-grow.

You don't have to tell me about the flashbacks, I lived there for 14
years - it was hell !     ;-)

You can't be unhappy if you're singing. :)

I usually do medlies, such as the Beatles ...
"If I Fell (in love with you)"
"I should've known better (with a girl like you)"
"Baby's in Black (and I'm feeling blue)"
"Ticket to Ride" (which because of it's rhythm is invariably 
followed by Fleetwood Mac "You can go your own way")
Elvis Costello songs that I don't know the titles of, but which
usually starts with "Watching the Detectives"
....the Monkeys ...
"Last train to Clarksville"
"She (told me that she loved me)"
plus Herman's Hermits "I'm into something good"
.... or I do ballads:
She (may be the face I can't forget), complete with Elvis Costello
impersonation, and "Windmills of your mind" (by ?)
Another favourite is...
Nick Kershaw "Wouldn't it be good"

Hmmm. Looking over that list, I realise I'm beligerent, hard hitting,
bad-assed dude, and clearly not someone to be messed with !
;-)

lol. Yes, you have to stand your ground there or be fed to the wolves, true
enough. I was 19 when I moved away for the last time. I missed my family the
most every single one of them. It was like I had  been cut off from
everything I was used to. Luckily enough I had my daughter, a strong will
power and a nice Mother-in-law. They got me through the worst years. I
appreciate Cumbria much more now.

Off to make coffee for Orly before he goes to work.

Edith.

Looking over that list, I feel you're giving away your age!

Yes! Mince Pies, pickled onions, Malt Whiskey, Piles, Fisting, the rip
of flesh and warm trickle of blood...those exhilirating screams of
passion as you wumped it up her doggy fashion. That overwhelming joy
of the curve of exquisite deep throbbing pain as she sinks her fist up
to her elbo......Yes.... 

Those were the days my friend....the way it used to be....I remember
them well.
