I can't agree. I think these would work well:

A stick in the spokes
Fish oil on the road
Tell him the pub's at the other end of the road
...

tsk, tsk, tsk fellows. Play nice. Shona is our friend (what about a bucket of bait). You can`t try to stall him in his tracks like that (maybe one of those Daredevil lures) just because he multi-posts (ooo, worms, fish stop for worms all the time) especially since he does bring up a point (I've heard you can get 'm with a net) in every post.

Was it you sent daurelie here? Why hasn't she posted any more?

I sent her a private message, telling her she had some nice responses to her question. I did that because I've heard from someone who made one post, then couldn't find it again. I hoped a private message would encourage her to check, or at least ask for help if she needs it. We'll see.

To be sure, the only way to be sure is to use th'old dynamite, at all. 'Tis the way we kept Salmon on our plate during the bad ol' days.


N.B. - I have found that dynamited fish has a bad taste - almost as bad taste as this posting My apologies to you, Fisk, mien kaere venn.

Yo Rhuby Tuesday

Oh, Gee. does that bring back memories!!!

Not least of an old Austin Seven, painted Ruby Red, with the name Ruby Tuesday beautifully sign-written - and a great big Clockwork Key mounted on its roof.

Ah, the wonderful sixties!

I knew it! Another aging hippie...but those were fun days, weren't they?

And tsuwm, I think you're onto something with your subliminal supposition. But I wonder who the message was intended for?

It stuck up out of the roof of the car, making it look like an oversized clockwork toy - an excellent conceit!
