....... I just thought I'd fly the idea by you


"I've just had an eye dear". Said King Harold to the Queen.


I stole someone else's idea for a stage drama.

Does that make me a playgiarist????

 a fledgling author!
 

I think that at your age, you author know better than to go into such a flight of fantasy.


Oh, c'mon, Don! Do you really think I have any author choice???

Donnah, it's insane the way you collect large bird feathers.

It's just plume crazy.

We found a dead crow in our front yard but have yet to hear the caws of death.

I bet the caws is that the crow's spirit has flown.

Could be. I do know that the crow always carried some rum above its head, because it needed to lift its spirits.

Was it about some early seafares? You should have turned it into a comedy film; I can see the billboards now:

Staring Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Kenneth Connor, Babs Windsor, Joan Simms, Bernard Bresslaw and Charles Hawtrey.

A Peter Rodgers Production. Directed by Gerald Thomas

Carrion up the Crows Nest.

Unfortunately, this might not turn out too well for Don: I sincerely hope he realizes - that in all his enthusiasm for this Production - in Don's international traveling to promote said comedy film, the airlines will only allow him a limited number of carrion items per passenger!

I recall, many moons ago, looking at the new fangled 'home computers' in a branch of Currys (other IT retailers also available, as are other foreign foods) and happily chomping on a piece of fruit.

A salesman asked "Have you got an Apple Mac?"

"No," I replied, "I've got a Conference Pear buddy."

Oh yes, I well remember my first computer, I still have it to this day, look:


Sometimes the beads would fall off the top rail resulting in my issuing forth with expetives. Yes, I would ab a cus then start over again.

Presumably, he has no trouble putting it into 'sleep mode'.

The bargain store promised me a free abacus with every purchase, but I wouldn't count on it.

No trouble with 'sleep mode', that is correct.

But I just can't bear it when the computer 'hibernates'!

I hope you don't feel shut down by my remarks.

I'd like to string along with this convo, and maybe take a byte or two out of it. Someone get me a cookie please?

Chem, after burning a cookie that I made for you, I felt very crummy.

And this reminds me of the times when I used to talk to her about computer hardware, I made my mother board.

But of course you may, or you can restart another. Ether way, welcome back to the mouse house of pun.

Ah well, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

That's nothing, I've spent my hole life boring people, you know the drill...... "Blah blah blah blah rabbit rabbit blah horizon horizon blah blah drone......" And after all that, I'd go on a bit more.
