I recall that. My late S in L was the kingpin when it came to arguing the toss over answers. She died in her sleep about 4 weeks ago so her cards were numbered from the 80's. She wouldn't have listened if anyone tried to explain that she was "Doomed, Doomed I tell you, Doomed" (Spoken with a Scots accent). Argumentative bugger she was.

Her passing has settled a lot of family conflicts & beliefs as it happens.

Chin chin.

Being there national bird and protected, I don’t think too many people will have tasted kiwi (unlike our national bird)

When I was in Christmas Island I spoke to some locals about there protected species, the coconut crab, and apparently it tastes a lot like the smell of the island (musty and dirty)

I wonder if kiwis smell like that island??
(Or is it “the mainland” or the “other island”)

Another trip to NZ soon and I might find out

Speaking of Trivial Pursuit and faulty goods, does anyone remember the Seinfeld episode where they play Trivia with the "Bubble boy" IIRC and one of the questions is something like, which Arabian tribe invaded Spain and the answer says "Moops" instead of "Moors"? The Bubble Boy gets so upset because George won't allow a different answer to the card, that he gets taken away in an ambulance?

In the army one the guys got so angry with us winning TP all the time, he tried to throw a rock at me, but broke one of the barrack's window instead!

The only true method is to ask South Sea Island Cannibals.

Job done.

Good grief! I had no idea Boot polish was made of Humans. I thought it was made of Birds.

Amazing, when you are next for the little round & brown tin with the stupid opening lid thing cuppa.

Do you think there is a chance Xmas Ilse might even be a Clean, Healthy pong but just that your hooter is unfamiliar & contaminated with City & Suburban crap?

Mix them together & what have you got? Summat that pongs of Coconut Crab of course.

EDIT.
Anyway, XI is tropical or semi tropical, so those joints always smell ****. Usually a sad lack of Housekeeping IMHO.

I opened up the PS to see if I could repair it but it is so tightly packed, I gave up that idea.

It looks like I've been scammed. I received no follow up emails with shipping details, etc., and when I tried contacting them there was no reply. I Googled their email address 'suuy2020@msn.com' and found many threads complaining of them.

They'd hijacked a legit website.

Hopefully, PayPal will reimburse me.

Not necessarily. I have had a a couple of dodgy ones over the last 5 years I (both Chinese) which I believed were waterproof & the cunning buggers have the sale tied up in knots in some cases & will argue their way out of a wet paper bag which went on for about 3 weeks. PP knocked me back because of the blatant lies told to them by the Sellers.


But it is worth a try, but maybe you shouldn't hold your breath just in case.
