the nothing ,anything ,everything thread

[opmania]

This is a thread with no particular

Topic so no one can be off topic 🙂

So if anyone out there has something 

To say about anything you like now

Is your chance

Keep it clean 

And be nice 

See how long that lasts

Can we keep politics and religion out 

Of the conversation

On the box it said this is the easy to assemble model...

Stawks, I was sorry to read your sad news.

I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Stawks - thinking of you.

[ecar3483]

Subtle, Dom.

I like it...

Three horses - Nag, Nag, Nag... Now I wish I'd thought of that, ha ha.

I gave the birds an afternoon snack because they'd gathered under the pergola and I could no longer see the ground for birds... ha ha

The old man bird felt that his safety was in jeopardy, so he sought shelter from the seething mass...

He came and stood between my feet... ha ha.

"Don't think this means I like you, I just don't want to be squashed by them..."... ha ha.

The hungry horde were both hungry, and a horde this afternoon...

All I have to do now is convince them that Summer Time, daylight saving, means the clocks go Forward one hour...

What was 4, in the Winter, becomes 5, now... and not What was 4 in the Winter becomes 3, now... ha ha...

A week ago I would have said, going on past experience, that about now the old man bird would be acknowledging me, but  would still be a little shy.

I think his taking shelter between my feet was more a matter of necessity than an expression of his absolute trust and faith in me, ha ha....

I'll give it another half hour or so and then I'll go out and see if he scowls at me and shuffles away...

If he does, I'll know where I stand with him, so to speak, ha ha...

To stawka, I have no idea what has happened but I hope that you are okay

Stawks has had a death in the immediate family Martin and she is very upset.

Mart, I wondered what they actually put in meat pies, I heard people say I saw what they put in them and would never touch another one.

I'd love me a pie, In QLD I thought they were pretty good. When visiting NZ I thought they were one of best pies I ever tasted.

[martinw-48]

Joz, depends on the bakery but the one I worked for only used good quality meat and it was the meat that was claimed to be in there.
Look most bakeries do the right thing but a good friend of mine worked for a large establishment that used very old skinny sheep and the pies aren't called Mutton pies so that's misrepresentation
Also be wary of pies that are very salty because salt is used on rotten meat to cover the taste.
I when I lived in Adelaide enjoyed a certain brand of pie until it became very salty because I believe they were using bad meat.
The modern meat pie is plumped up with very thick gravy now but if you find a good meaty pie that isn't full of salt I think you're safe
