Insane dreams about binoculars (1 Viewer)

You're a very simple man Patudo, if all you want from Karlie on Valentine's Day is a Swarovski. I would have thought your "insane" dreams would have at least included Karlie being up close and personal to show you just how to properly hold those Swarovski's.|;|

Joe you are so right about today's kids.

When I was a nipper, near bonfire night when we could buy fireworks, me and my pal would buy extra 'bangers' and in the early evening when the local farmer took his cows away for milking, we would climb over the wall into the pasture and search for the biggest 'cow pats' or piles of cow poo. We would then stick a banger in it, light the fuse, and then run away to try to avoid the explosive shower of sh*t that followed and we would do this about 5 times before neighbours came out to see what all the BANGS were all about.

Don't try and tell me that todays kids wouldn't be better for doing this in real life instead of just the equivalent on Facebook :-O

Lee,

Tell the truth now! Did you steal those 'bangers' from your mum's pantry?

Don't you like "bangers and mash?" Blowing them up seems a bit excessive! I would think they would go good with a pint of ale!B

Actually my mom let me have an old frying pan to take to my den next to the brook accross those pasture fields and I did take some of those bangers and some bacon to fry up. That would have been in 1960-61. My den was behind a tree that had fallen in the brook and had remained rooted so branches grew up from it vertically making a screen behind which I had my den at the foot of a 10 foot high bank. Last year I went back to have a look and my den was still there although the fallen tree has died off and the branches no longer form a screen.
Watching fish in that brook (Brown Trout, Bullhead, Stone Loach and Lamprey) was my first brush with nature.

That sounds like the creeks (cricks) we had near where I grew up in a small village near the Pocono Mountains in NE PA. We had native Brook Trout and Brown Trout that survived and thrived after being stocked. The cricks also had Bullheads which were small Catfish and a couple of varieties of Minnows which is their proper designation. The Horned Dace was one of them. The cricks also have fish with the name Sucker. They swim with their mouth on the bottom sucking up food.

In the western part of the state, in similar streams, there is a fresh water salamander called a "Hellbender." It can get to be about 2 feet long.
