Hi Jack
Glad you survived unscathed.  Hopefully by the time you see this it will be all over.  The cartoons were all top notch.  I've seen x-rays where patients have swallowed things.  Mostly coins & batteries.
I'm giving up trying to post cartoons in the middle for the moment :-R  I'm obviously doing something wrong/stupid >:D

Not a patch on the real thing but quite amusing in a silly sort of way!

Fingers crossed that the golf course is playable in the morning.  If all else fails hire a boat :laugh:
Ciao

Hi Pen,

I was amazed when I rang this morning that the golf course had only had an inch of rain yesterday - it must be in a rain shadow.  The Sydney Morning Herald this morning had a map of the rainfall distribution across Sydney and there didn't appear to be a pattern of why some suburbs got record amounts and nearby suburbs got little.

Anyway, golf was good this morning although my performance was nothing to write home about - I ranked 50 out of the 72 people who played. But that's golf - One day you are a rooster, the next day a feather duster.

Good cartoon and sketch.  But on a different topic, why do women wear mascara? Is this the reason?



I'll have to go and sleep on that one.

Hi Jack
I'm glad the golf was good & not washed out :)
I don't wear mascara any more.  That picture is a bit weird but does prove a point I think.  Maybe mascara & eyeliner.


Some work & some don't ???
Might have a small celebration!

Roll on going home time & bring on the weekend!

Hi Pen,

A celebration is in order  Don't overdo it.  I find that not all cartoons work and if giving them an extra click doesn't bring another copy that does work, Kismet.

Given yesterday's weather, I wish I had found this one earlier.



I suppose you know that golfers are obsessed with finding a better golf club which will solve all their problems and cannot be distracted by anything.



I only meant to be out of bed for five minutes so I am heading back there.

Thanks Jack I will :)
Weather's lousy but it's a good excuse to read a book or do a jigsaw.  That is after No1 daughter & I have wrestled the Telegraph crossword into submission! Bit of a stinker today!
Here's half of the Two Ronnies for you

Hi Pen,

I liked Fletch.

Peter FitzSimons didn’t have a joke of the week in the SMH today but he did have a poem which is appropriate to your situation.
Quote
It rained and rained and rained
The average fall was well maintained
and when the tracks were simple bogs,
It started raining cats and dogs.
After a drought of half an hour
We had a most refreshing shower
And then the most curious of all
A gentle rain began to fall
Next day but one was fairly dry
Save for one deluge from the sky
Which wetted the party to the skin
And then at last the rain set in.

Our weather is strong wind and a dust cloud being blown in from the west.


I have been kept on the hop this weekend.  We have two old (perhaps I should say long-standing) friends who we have not seen for more than 20 years visiting from the Gold Coast.

They told me about two of their friends who recently toured in Wales.  On their way they saw a sign for a place called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch and decided to go there.

In the main street, they had a big blue about how to pronounce the town’s name.  They were hungry and went into an establishment for lunch.  The only other customer was a woman called Anona.  They asked Anona, “could you please settle an argument for us?”  Anona nodded.

“Would you please pronounce where we are for us – very slowly?”

Anona says very slowly, “Buurrrrgerrrrr Kinnnnggg.”

Practice keeping your toes apart, Pen, that way you wont get webbed feet.

The famous unpronouceable place-name in Wales pales into insignificance when compared to the full name of the Thai capital:

Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amonphimanawatansathit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit.

or in Thai script:
กรุงเทพมหานคร อมรรัตนโกสินทร์ มหินทรายุธยา มหาดิลกภพ นพรัตนราชธานีบูรีรมย์ อุดมราชนิเวศน์มหาสถาน อมรพิมานอวตารสถิต สักกะทัตติยวิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์

Thais usually shorten the name of their capital to 'Krungthep' ('City of Angels').

Gosh, mk, that takes me back.  Growing up in Thailand in the 50s/60s, I had no problem saying that.  Sadly no longer.  But I think it would still be easier to get my tongue around the Thai name than that Welsh one!

 I find it hard enough pronouncing the names of the Thai golfers and they are probably shortened. :D

Oh, I don't know.
'Tiger Woods' is not too difficult to say!
