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

I remember when it was all the rage to have a Pineapple ring in your burger with the lot.

I can't think of any place I've been to that does it anymore but I also don't really go into a takeaway shop anymore except if I'm traveling and really desperate to eat

I heard a bird call that I've never heard before so I went outside and I believe that they're Currawongs

I remember pineapple rings in burgers, and pineapple fritters - a pineapple ring deep fried in batter.

I remember biting into one and  there was a gush of steaming hot pineapple juice that ran down my chin and landed on the exposed skin just above the collar of the tshirt I was wearing.

The agony and the ecstasy! ha ha...

When I was little we used to occasionally go to the Old Spot Hotel and my sister and I were always given the Chicken Maryland to eat.
It was quarter Chicken (leg) crumbed and deep fried with a crumbed Pineapple fritter and a crumbed deep fried Banana

Round here, those are typical currawong noises, but I can't speak for currawongs further afield.

It used to amuse me, as a youngster, that the magpies here, in Canberra, sang differently to the magpies in Melbourne.

Regional variations in dialects? ha ha...

Given the fires, and now with the Winter coming, it doesn't surprise me overly that birds like currawongs are spreading out into areas that they wouldn't normally have ventured into.

Some, well one Magpie got me good one day.
I heard a horse in the front yard and as I don't own a horse I shot out to see why I suddenly had a horse and it was a Magpie horsing around 😁

I've just startled two cockatoos, out the back...

They flew away to the trees and stared at me - Who are you? We don't know you!

The nights are getting cold, and with them the birds who would otherwise be quite happy in their own little patch, but for the fact that their own little patch is only just starting to regrow, are spreading out in search of new feeding grounds....

It's a little bit like a virus seeking a new host...

Ain't Nature grand? ha ha...

Senior's shopping hour... From 7 to 8 am...

If I find myself wandering the aisles of a supermarket, with the cold overhead lights shining on my face, then I will know I am in Elysium...

No, wait... ha ha...
