The Beach.
The beach is a state of mind, where we escape from the must to the maybe and what if, where thoughts may be lightly etched on the shore or sculpted in the sand, admired and commented on by others, then swept away by the waves or jumped on by small children of all ages...

I ventured in this direction early this morning intent on planting the first footprint in the sand and was repelled by a forcewall. Glad someone has removed it.
Bit late for breakfast, but fresh sandwiches on the bar for lunch.

I banged my nose on the same force field this morning. A couple of ice cubes from the bar when I finally got on to the beach helped to stop the pain. I rescued them from the G and T I had to alleviate the shock!
Anyway, mornin' all, great weekend of rugby to come. Any takers for England to beat Scotland by at least 20 points?

Things I've learned from my boys (honest and not kidding):
A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.
A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 4 stone Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 x 20 ft. room.
You should not throw cricket balls up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.
The glass in windows (even double-glazing) doesn't stop a cricket ball hit by a ceiling fan.
When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late.
A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies.
Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.
Super glue is forever.
No matter how much jelly you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.
VCR's do not eject Jam sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
Bin liners do not make good parachutes.
Marbles in petrol tanks make lots of noise when driving.
You probably DO NOT want to know what that smell is.
Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.
The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
It will, however, make cats dizzy.
Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
Those who pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without boys do it because:
a) For those with no children - this is totally hysterical!
b) For those who already have children past this age, this is hilarious.
c) For those who have children this age, this is not funny.
d) For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning.
e) For those who have not yet had children, this is birth control.

The Ballad of the Woggler's Moulie
(To the tune of 'Clementine')
Joe he was a young cordwangler,
Monging greebles he did go.
For he loved a bogler’s daughter,
By the name of Chiswick Flo.
Vain she was and like a grusset,
Though her ganderparts were fine.
But she sneered at his cordwangle,
As it hung upon the line.
So he stole a woggler’s moulie,
For to make a wedding ring.
But the Bow Street runners caught him,
And the judge said-"he will swing".
So they hung him by the postern,
Nailed his moulie to the fence.
For to warn all young cordwanglers,
That it was a grave offence.
There’s a moral to this story,
Though your cordwangle be poor,
Keep your hands off others moulies,
For it is against the law....Ohhhhh!

(To the tune of 'Foggy Foggy Dew'
When I was a young man
I nadgered at my splod
as I nurked at the wogglers trade.
When suddenly I thought
while trussing up my groats,
I'd whirdle with a fair young maid.
We whirdled through the summer time
until the winter came,
and the only, only thing that I ever did wrong
was to tell her my foggy foggy name.
Now I'm married
and I've put away my splod
and my son's at the woggler's trade.
Though sometimes I still think
as I'm trussing up my groats
of whirdling with a fair young maid.
I'd whirdle her in the winter time
I'd whirdle her for dear life-
But the only, only thing that I'd have to do
Is to keep it from the foggy foggy wife-Oh!

I have just become aware that today is "Mothers' Day" according to a local pub doing a special Sunday lunch for it, or "Mother's Day" according to my son, or "Mothering Sunday" according to the local CoE church, and I looked it up and found that in English it was Mothering Sunday on the mid-sunday of Lent but people also call it "Mothers' Day", and "Mother's Day" is an American and Canadian day for celebrating mothers but happened on the second Sunday of May -- but it's an old dictionary (1988) and I would quite like to know whether the British and the Americans and Canadians still do celebrate their mothers on different days a couple of months apart.
If so, Happy Mothering Sunday to all the British mothers who have come to the Beach for it, and if there are any American and Canadian mothers here I'll try to remember to say something nice to you in May, okay? If not, Happy Mothers' Day to all and sundry who are female and have children...

O Lady Sue, all this typing on a Sunday!
Verb transitive

2. to personify, as in poetry, art, etc.
3. (Law) To impersonate with intent to deceive. See synonyms under 'imitate'.
Adverb
1. (Bot) Masklike; masked; said specifically of a gamopetalous, two-lipped corolla in which the mouth of the tube is closed by an inflated projection of the throat.
2. Impersonated, feigned.
So says the Webster's dictionary.

Outraged staff turned up, not very sure what they could insist on legally, and ended up helpfully pointing out that the burgers were worth 49p...!

It is a fact that a Jam Sandwich makes a really good 'Sand Magnet'. In fact it can make a pretty good 'Wasp Maget' as well.

Hesidos, you need to update your web page.
Most bookshops these days prefer to use the 13 digit ISBN (or EAN if you prefer) and it is 9780872201798.
Actually the 10 digit ISBN, 0872201791, is derived from the 13 digit as you can see. The reason the last digit may differ is because it is the 'check' digit.
And I hear you ask why use the 13 digit ISBN (or EAN if you prefer)?
Well, since you ask, it is because the number range for 10 digit ISBN's has been exhausted so the 13 ISBN (or EAN if you prefer) was originally prefixed 978 AND 979 for books. So you can have a 13 digit ISBN ( or EAN if you prefer) that starts 978 of 979 so you get double the numbers for your money!
However newspapers and periodicals still remain prefixed by 977.
For further late night reading then here is a useful guide to the EAN!!
DiY, helpfull(ish) as ever.

Whatever the number, the particular translation is highly recommended. The man (Professor Stanley Lombardo) knows it's oral poetry, and his translations are scripts.
I also commend his Homer and Sappho. And his Lao Tzu. As to tipiglen, that goes back to the days when we were restricted to eight characters, and by sheer seerendipity stumbled upon an almost unique combination...(search it)

Mansaylo: boxty is a mix of grated and mashed potato made into a round or a loaf, cooked in some way (the real Irish amongst us could explain it better, I'm sure) then cut into slices and fried, traditionally for breakfast along with bacon, eggs, sausage and black pudding. When you mentioned the latter I presumed you must have had Irish roots and would know boxty. Potato bread is another variant and, despite having had breakfast, all this talk is making me hungry.
Now it's my turn: what's "square sausage"?
DIY - don't even think about it or you'll go straight to the naughty step.
Complain about this comment
Hi Lady Sue, No Irish ancestry as far as I know, Black Country born and bred. Mrs mansaylo is half Irish, half Scottish. Both halves are pretty good.
Square sausage is just that. Usually about 3-4 inches square, cut into slices and fried or grilled.
Incidentally, the best black pudding I've ever eaten was made by the Ordnance Corps butcher in the British Cantonment in Nepal. You had to be quick to get your order in when he made some.

Mansaylo (192) : No need to head for the Border - unless it's close by.
You can get square sausage in Corby and many surrounding towns. Along with (should you be daft enough to want it) Export, Heavy and Tennent's Special.
