No hoss, what it suggests is that I don't have time to scroll down
somebody
else's long-ass,
This is a UK newsgroup - what's a "long ass"?
I didn't mean to revisit this thread, but the dog returneth to his
vomit, etc. In Australia there's a large univalve mollusc known as a
"Long-Arse". I imagine that's what our friend means: you probably
unscroll them from their shells when you want to eat them.
Ah . . . I did think he was possibly being a little "shellfish", I must
admit. Quite what it has to do with gardening I'm not sure. Trying to
"mussel" in here, no doubt.
Mind you, I do have some cockle shells in my garden, so it might be on
topic. No silver bells though, and as for pretty maids - well, one is
quite
enough for me!
By the way, a bloke I met in the pub says he is paying good money for
people
who want to do a bit of cockle picking, so if our friend ever needs
something to "tide him over" . . . ;-)
A perfect posting! I wonder if it'll cause him to clam up.
Mike.
We should be working at a way to "Winkle" the truth out of things like that.
Cheers LJ.
