A Garden party......How nice. Great to socialise in the open air in an interdepartmental evening. Nice cool breeze to waft the Pharts away.

Mr and Mrs Phart are not invited, last time they brought their cousins, the Unfortunate-Followthroughs. Hung around for ages as well.

lets make it a lamp swinging evening. lets hear all the yarns.

Peeping over some foliage could be very interesting -- but also stupid!

I hope that that is a Mr. Volt and Ms. Ampere or vice versa. If it's the other vice I don't think we want to encourage that sort of thing on GD!

I find the family Phart are related to the Often-Buttinskies. Seldom invited always turning up. When they're in the mood 'though, they can be quite a gas. It's the Phart-Browns that always leave a nasty taste.

it may not be in their Capacity to resist the charge Varley.

That's shocking Sire, those poor people might just have their wires crossed.

remember once someone threw me a Capcitor and like a fool i caught it....OUCH!

a capacitor from a distributor held with tw pairs ao pliers whie engine runnng will charge itswelf. you can hold either end and no problem. But catch one and you get both ends....Wham! I never forgot that. (and managed to catch a few folk out with it myself later in life)

I couldn't resist having a gigajoule at that while I was driving ohm. :bounce_angel:

Tom, get back in the car, it's not safe with the bonnet up at 60.

What?...He's 60? thought he was younger than that. He's only 15 years behind me!

Why would a Jap get a stronger shock from one of these unfriendly tricks?

Because they're very into High Q

reckon some of the sparkies could tell a tale or two of tricks they had played at sea Varley. shocking as they may be ha ha.

It was a dark and a stormy night, and the Captain turned to the Sparks and said "Tell us a tale!". So the Sparks began....

PARTY TIME on the helo deck....

Normally a bring and braai back aft.. this one's on me.. (er.. our fearless leader... just don't tell him)...

Celebrating the Lads winning the Stanley Cup last night... beverage of choice .. Ahrn...

GO PENGUINS!!!!!

Oo Err!...spooky....please continue.

Hello fellow crew members of the GD. You may have noticed that I have not posted for a little while? That doesn't mean that I have not been checking in occasionally to see what damage was being done and what naughtiness was being discussed. I have needed the humour and I always get a chuckle out of what you 'boys' are getting up to. Was it like this when you were at sea?

Anyway, the garden party. If you need a hand with anything Farmer John I am ready, willing and able. I take it that you have secured the mules, remember the debacle last time. Hopefully Pats chickens are not part of the menu nor my lambs????:eat_arrow:

Question; This has nothing to do with this thread but I wondered if any of you knew crew members of HMS Cassandra in the early 60's.

One dark and stormy night, three smugglers sat in a cave,
Tell us a story, Bill, said one, and so the tale began----

Ad nauseum! :shock:

For the disappointed Predators, it was their inability to beat Penguins goalie Matt Murray in the final two games. Murray made his hometown of Thunder Bay, Ont., proud by stopping the last 64 shots he faced in the series.

What would you do without us Canadians??

Congratulations, however, I'd be honored (American spelling?) to join you for an Arhne or three in celebration. :pint: :pint:

Hi! Red -- Sorry I can't help about the crew of "Cassandra" -- I'd already swallowed the hook by then. :bye:

Au contraire, ad astra!

It is an old and oft repeated tale, but at least I can follow the plot and remember all the characters. Well suited to those of limited attention span.

ha ha look at SSR in his yellow and white boxer shorts. really getting into the spirit of the Penguins win eh!

I just read this, and I applaud the sagacious observations of the...

Oh, it was me!

I have just put in a bid at the local sale for a baragraph. I shall use it to be nostalgic about the weather.

Put your pound in your pocket and try looking out the window.

Foxgloves, all I see is Foxgloves.

SSR, I'll raise a glass to your teams success. May all your Penguins be Emperors (with a slight edge to their mood).

If all you are seeing is Foxgloves then you must be having a wonderful Spring and all in the garden is rosy. :hippy::)

oh a happy crew! skipper looking a bit fierce though.

Maybe to do with all the empty bottles lying around heh heh heh

Attaboy SSR bring it aboard.....

Ahem.. do not forget about His Excellency Lord Sidney of Crosby of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia...

and you should feel honoured... :pint: :pint: :pint: :pint:

That's Phil Kessel.. and he is a Stanley Cup Champion... again.

When we celerbate aboard the GD I think we should turn that auld mug upside down --- it will hold a lot more booze in the bottom than that piddly little cup at the top. :pint: :pint:

Good thinking there Tom. Chuck a bottle of everything in it and give it a stir. should be some good booze there.

What on earth has pressured you into getting a gadget for recording your inventory of handcarts?

Varley, you know how it is, one, two, many doesn't do for insurance purposes. I need to manage my collection, I have tried counting the legs and dividing by four, but it works better for sheep.

Handcarts?...Oh I see...its a "Barrow meter"

Another libation gentleman and indeed ladies?

Actually, it was Christmas in the bunkhouse, and the boys were feeling Rosy -- but Rosy didn't like it so she left. :angel:
