Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 He's had his tea and has gone upstairs for a shower. Who knows if he's planning on packing anything or not . He did ask what time the trains start in the morning . He's 21 in 10 days' time so doesn't even have the excuse of being a teenager .

Alis girls Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 How much later? 30's 40's - I sometimes think maturity passed OH by then he surprises me and hes 60 but I love him nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Well, mature or not, he got the train to Stirling at 10.33pm. He had a big bag with him so I'm assuming he packed something . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a particularly tasty photo of him in the office - I think it comes from the from of one of the Sunday mags - he looks all dirty and rough... *sighs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'm scandalised but yes, he is. I've been working (voluntarily working - most unlike me!) alongside a bunch of ex-coppers over the last couple of weeks and OMG! I had forgotten just how much they like to gossip. I also now have a copy of my record of service with a dodgy 70s photo of me looking very sad as though I've just been nicked and I took a photo of my signature of when I got my posting. Couple of weeks to go and have seen some very interesting books and also some very boring ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Is there any group of colleagues that doesn't like to gossip ? I've just had the surveyor at my mum's house and when I pointed out that the back door into the garage seems to have come away from the wall, he said that someone had obviously got into the back garden and tried to push the whole door plus frame in. They probably peeked through the gap, saw the mountains of rubbish and decided not to bother! Glad they didn't attempt to break into the actual house .

Olly Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Gossip is what makes the world go round. As my friend once remarked when we'd been indulging in some derogatory remarks about another member of our group 'yes, but at least we only say it behind her back, not to her face'.

chooksRCute Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Attended a wedding yesterday & because it was local I was able to nip back home at 6pm to walk/feed the dog, check on the chooks & throw them some mixed corn, & feed the fish. All was well Was rather late when I got in so admit I didn't do the rounds This morning I got up to find I had no fish! Some pesky creature had had the lot, 4 koi (bout 6" long) & 6 significant goldfish. I'm gutted, to top it off whatever it was had also managed to puncture the pond lining so the water is now down to the first sill .... So, major rebuild needed, I loved those fish. No evidence of a disturbance, not a single scale or body found, no obviously broken foliage....I live in a built up area, never seen a heron, so what or who is the culprit??

The Dogmother Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hmmm, do you think they could have been stolen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Most likely a heron. You don't always see them as they are such silent fliers. We have one here, and this is a built up area next to a dual carriage way. Especially as you say the liner was punctured, seeing as they have long thin beaks. They are such graceful birds, but so sad that they do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooksRCute Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Bluekarin/Dogmother Update, found 3 fish hiding in their bolt hole! Very scared, & won't come out. My neighbour heard a raucous from the local crows bout 05:30 this morning so I'm thinking that's when it all kicked off. Unfortunately I was too comatosed from my partying at that ungodly hour so missed my chance. Yes I agree probably a heron, awfully sad but nature will have its way! So, Fox proofing, heron proofing, intruder proofing.....Welcome to Stalag! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Good you still have some fish left! Just hope they aren't too traumatised by the events of this morning. It is such a shame that you need to cover a lovely pond with netting, but if it means you keep your fish safe, then it's worth it. I think you can get statues of large birds, which are meant to deter herons, so might be worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
