Skydiving... or Groundhugging?

Per Mummified's request for more vignettes.

Stay tuned for a blast from my past, though not quite so far back.

Looking forward to it. BTW I will probably make it to the River Styx before you - but only just. How about I scope the place out, work out where the good wine bars, bookstores are etc so you settle in easier ? You know how I like to "mother" people...

If your 'chute doesn't open you can do both, but it'll be the last hug you ever need.

There was an old saying, the only thing that falls out fo the sky is bird crap and fools.

hey tea - get onto seb's blag - he is foaming at the mouth about the labor party and sleaze claims. I think he is having what my mother used to refer to as "a conniption fit"

Mummified, given we're only a year apart (probably less), I'd say we'd be neck and neck at the River Styx (poor you! stuck with me!).

Lol on the wine bars and bookstores. Why don't we split up the place and scope it out separately, then get back together, compare notes, and go have some fun? :-D

Lol also to Seb. A rabid cat makes for some interesting imagery. Make that a rabid, corpselike cat. Tee hee! I saw your posts there and had a good chuckle.

PK: First you compare me with Hitler, now you call me a fool and further compare me with bird droppings?! Oh, wait...

Never mind.

Didn't compare you with Hitler, just used him as an example. As far as skydiving, if you want a crater named after you, have at. For me there is absolutely no reason to leave a perfectly good air frame.

T. We miss you.

righto - you go left, I'll go right. first one to find a cocktail bar with decent french champagne wins.
At 24 March, 2006 21:12, Fuff said…

LOL. Yer on!

Mummified: You're on! Whooo hoooo! :-) Champagne!

Fuff: Thanks, dear lady. Was forced away from blogland but I've posted my skydiving story, so hopefully that will appease. :-)

Hi, Charlie, would be honoured to be linked to the Writer's Blog. Thank you!

PK, I stand corrected. You did indeed use Hitler as an example... as for no reason to leave a perfectly good air frame, you're right, but tell that to the paratroopers, please. :-) Then read my story and have a good laugh at my expense.
