The Temple of Grockle

[LandyAndy]

Hi People.
I see after the dimise of the Skullers the "chat" seems to have shifted to the "Stars" thread.
Started this thread so we can all chat nonsense and sense if your that way inclined with our overseas ambasador Grockle.
Please abide by AULRO etiquette and rules.
Cheers
Andrew

On being demobbed from the Merchant Navy she stowed away in a box marked Darwin(she thought Darwin in Lancashire not to far from Wigan would get a free trip home)only to wake up in Darwin NT. here she made most of her mistake giving etiquette lessons to all who would listen,latterly here on AULRO forums but at her age thought she would hand the task over to a younger member,being...............

Andrew

[easo]

Some little, no good, poor excuse for a living being, air theif has stolen both Janelle's and my bikes. No only that but my bike had a tow bike on it and Janelles had a kiddie trailer for jack and clancy on it too.

Unlikely that the bludging, got nuffing better to do toss pots will be caught but I might start tieing the dogs up out the front from now on. Put them on a quick release so I can let them go nuts. (the Lab will lick them to their demise).

[LandyAndy]

Hey Grock
Our "Chooks Foot" is a Merc 6410 prime mover,Chooks Foot is a non endearing term for the Merc badge up front.
The driver is making up a swastika to replace it.
At work I get called "The Fat Controler in the Wheelhouse".
Basically refering to my rotund shape and the fact that I bark orders from my Grader cab,that looks alot like a wheelhouse.
No need to worry,LA aint crook.I didnt eat the croutons:twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted:
Andrew

[easo]

I am sitting down if front of the computer sweating my ring-gear out at 20:29 hrs as we are trying to lower our power bill this quarter as much as possible from the last $900 odd bucks.

However I am enjoying the refreshing taste of a cold green cordial.


Its hot! Dam hot! Its so dam hot you don't know what I'm talking about! Its so dam hot I saw this little guy just burst into flames!!! Its so dam hot in my shorts I can cook things in'em, just like crock pot cookin! Be nice if you were in be with a lady, but it aint no good if your in the jungle!!!

Here lettuce is $3, strawberries are $6 a punnet, grapes are $15- $18 a kg!

I used to drive a 2424 for a living - hauling super-phosphate for topdressing.

Your work sounds like my house - here I am called The Fat ATM

and... $900 a quarter is common for bills here - electric in summer and gas in winter - aircon and central heating...

Warn me if you are going to run aground - this drifting off the port bow is quite pleasant in this heat...

[easo]

It cretanly sucks being a single income family when its a duel income world out there.
I reccons anyway.

But we cost save every where.
