Mainly lurking these days, 'cos I'm too busy out there ......
selling Kleeneze, would you believe! ;-)

You can't do that on a motor bike! Doesn't count. Has to be on foot - with
or without legs.

Urg's erstwhile Kleeneze-rep is a portly little chap with no teeth
who
was fond of boasting about his vehicle, so it could be the same one.

When I was a kid we had to make do with a one legged Breton onion
seller on a bicycle.

I had an uncle who came second in a one legged

I don't believe I have read such absolute twaddle on a newsgroup as this and
the above 3 posts. Do these people really think they are funny? It is
pathetic. This group now seems to consist - with a few obvious exceptions -
of too many people who have too much to say about nothing very much at all.
Do these people have so very little of interest in their lives that if there
is not a lot to do in the garden, all they can do is sit at a computer for
most of the day? Come on folks, it's almost New Year resolution time. Let's
all make one to widen our horizons a bit. Another one for some could be to
post here less.

I agree. Let's start with you resolving to widen your horizons a bit by
learning to tolerate the
foibles of other folk.

Another one for some could be to
