[manicscousers]

[Twirlie]

I like the jokes too!  I always read when I can even if I don't post!  My brussels have started to grow in little green house!!  Also chard,cauli and sunflowers!  all from the swap!  Ooh! nearly forgot the beans!  I took some of the purple violettas and borlotti!  Very limited choice without tinternet and I'm too chicken to buy online!  So thankyou all. ;D

[carolinej]

Of course you count, Manics ;D

Well, that's 3 of us. I know there are at least 2 others, so come on, confess ;D

Glad your seeds are growing well, twirlie ;D

Twirlie re: beans, are you in the bean swap?
Does the parcel go around again or do we donate it to The Christmas Cracker Joke writers fund ?

[star]

Oooh........talking of strange seeds, One of mine has germinated ;D ;D. I took 2 out to see what they were, I think Jeanine said something about bids nest gourd or something like that. It will be interesting.

I love the jokes too Caroline and the clues, which I am so good at guessing ::) ::)

Trouble is with work and allotments/gardens to tend i guess its difficult for everyone to get online every day

Best to sow something indoors today, or you and the seeds will get blown away!!!!

[Twirlie]

No I'm not in the bean swap, I have plenty and won't have room to plant any more this year.  Plus the ones I have enough of to swap are bog standard runner beans!!!!!  Not to diss runner beans though!  I bought them cause I like them!  Just not unusual!
Know what you mean about the wind today, got my sheepskin back out it was freezing.  Hope its warmer tomorrow, I'm on the market all day.  Fingers crossed its like Thursday, it was so sunny I even took my coat off!  Got a little worried today as I put my broad beans in on Wednesday!  My poor little babies out in the cold!

Day 43.

Ah well, another quiet day in here. I will have to do it........

High Above Fifth Ave. and 34th Street 

Two men were drinking in a bar at the top of the Empire State Building. One 
turns to the other and says, "You know, last week I discovered that if you 
jump from the top of this building, by the time you fall to the 10th floor, 
the winds around the building are so intense that they carry you around the 
building and back into the window." 

The bartender overhears this and just shakes his head in disapproval while 
wiping down the bar. 

The second man says, "What, are you a nut? There is no way in hell that 
could happen!" 

The first man says, "No, it's true. Let me prove it to you." He gets up from 
the bar, jumps over the balcony, and careens toward the street below. 

When he passes the 10th floor, the high wind whips him around the building 
and back into the 10th floor window where he takes the elevator back up to 
the bar. 

The second man says, "You know, I saw that with my own eyes, but that must 
have been a one-time fluke." 

The first man says, "No, it isn't. I'll prove it again!" And again he jumps 
and hurtles toward the street where the 10th floor wind gently carries him 
around the building and into the window. Once upstairs he urges his fellow 
drinker to try it. 

The second man says, "Well, what the hell, it works, I'll try it." He jumps 
over the balcony, plunges downward, 
and passes the 14th..13th...12th..11th... 
10th... 
9th.... 
8th... 
7th... 
6th.... 
5th... 
4th... 
3rd... 
2nd.... 
1st.... 
And hits the sidewalk with a splat!! 

Back upstairs, the bartender turns to the other drinker and says,"You Know, 
Superman. you're really nasty when you get drunk.

cj :)

[star]

OUCH!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

No news again? Does anyone know where the parcel is? ???

C'mon folks, Caroline has gone to a lot of trouble organising this PTP. It would be nice to keep it moving or some feedback at least :-\

[carolinej]

I think it is on its way to 'toms lottie' in Tyne and Wear. I pm'd him and it hadnt arrived, so its just a waiting game now :(  I hope it isnt lost.

Maybe Tom will  make contact later, or I will be back with another groaner ;D ;D ;D
