By the way, are badgers found wild in North America, I wonder? Must look it up.
I think we've concluded in other discussions that we have things called badgers here, but they're not the same animal. Help from people with animal knowledge?

Welcome back, piscepedaller. You left at the time I arrived. And I'd showered that day. Was it something I said?

Hi! and welcome back, Fishonabike, your reputation for inspired postings preceeds you!  I think you left just as I ventured onto the board for the first time, but I have perused many of your delightful offerings, and look forward to many more! You are, indeed, a "storied" member of the board!

As said previously, not sure how much I can live up to expectations, but I'll do my best. a "storied" member of the board Now who did this quote come from: My story's a mystery,
His story - that's history.
What's your story?Before you ask - no, I can't remember either.  Fisk

Hi dxb (I keep thinking tsb and "It's the one for me"
(bank and advert for non-Brits or younger Brits))Fish – piece of ivory etc. used as a counter in gamesYes, I recall this from somewhere. It's some particular game that you have "fish" in, I fink. Anybody out there know any more? Of course dxb, you'll know we have the Sussex game toad in the hole where "toads" are the pieces. So called I suspect because the game involves lobbing coins into a small hole (or on to the surface of the board near it), and they tend to hop a bit. Toad in the hole is also the name of a world-famous English dish  , which I believe has been mentioned previously on this Board. I'll find the reference if anyone's interested. dead badgers on our country lanesHaven't seen too many of them - very occasional round where I live, thankfully. Of course East Sussex and Lewes especially are renowned as representing the height of civilisation: http://www.cliffebonfire.co.uk/- so it must be all those wild and pictish residents round where you live Do you really call the area Mid Sussex?

piscepedallerYo Cap! I thought our times overlapped for quite a bit, actually, accepted that my memory is just a tad accident-prone. Why on earth should the presence of more than one Kiwi on the Board make me want to leave? Fisk

but an infant then
Greetings, fellow denizen of the deep (and, of course, the world's most famous etymythologist).
Have you googled on your name recently? My web site acknowledgement (I think) has put your AWAD incarnation on the list. Not at the top, mind (reserved for your wikipedia incarnation).

"men are so sensitive about their anatomy." If memory serves, women are extremely sensitive about some parts of their anatomy.

Do you really call the area Mid Sussex?Well it is kind of in the middle of the county. Only problem is although there are some very attractive villages and superb countryside of the domesticated variety, the towns are pretty useless. We generally end up going to other places to browse-shop, even Lewes or Tunbridge Wells. Still, as I said, ideally situated to get to Town or to the beach, close to Gatwick, not too far from Heathrow and the various ways of crossing the Channel and full of fine Wealden countryside and buildings. Silly Sussex is a good place to be. This board appears to be falling apart around us - what to do?

Oh! Praises be! Prayers answered.
Must burn incense and send up thanks for the return of our fishonabike!
This late greeting because I have had computer troubles - lots of lightening storms here in New England last few days!
Oh-so-glad to have you home again.
'Mid pleasures and palaces though you may roam,
be it ever so humble there's no place like home!"
Welcome Home
Your delighted High Priestess,
WOW
