You forgot to mention that yeast extract is a waste product from making beer

so people who like beer tend to like Vegemite as well.

My monitor misted up

I'm sorry for that Makeo, it was all finbars fault, what he did to the poor camelia was criminal.

Wanna play some civ hydey?

Hmmmm....so you do have pork rinds.
I'll bet you like to eat bacon bits straight from the container too.
And pringles....mmmmm....pringles.
In Hydey's defense, my diet used to consist of a large sleeve of Pringles and a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream. That was a meal for me.

finbar · July 25, 2002, 21:51

Was? Your side view in the wedding video suggests otherwise.

SuperSneak · July 25, 2002, 22:13

Well, I'm what you'd call distinguished, of course.

I've noticed a picture of you is rarer than a Yowee's...or is it bunyip?

And thanks for not remarking on the back view.

Yeah we noticed

But Hydey has redeemed himself in so many ways in the last few days

a. He went to the dinner at quite a lot of personal inconvenience - drove 2000 kilometres and brought the charming Mrs Hydey along. Bravo!

b. He attacked Makeo. Get into him son!

c. He showed that the reason he turned up finbar's fine food is he eats a simple healthy diet. Nothing wrong with that.

d. Er,............it'll come to me............

SuperSneak · July 25, 2002, 22:33

10 hours...that's incredible. That's like me driving to San Francisco from here.
What a trooper.

But to go all that way just to sneer at Finbar running around in his apron...seems like a small price to pay.

I was going to say - the screen went totally black as soon as you turned away from the camera. I thought, at first, that my software had failed. Then I realised the black screen had a sort of shiny cottony hue to it.

Horse has pictures from last Saturday night. Unfortunately, most of them appear to have been rendered useless by a plague of "camera flash red-eye".

I've still got the pics from last year's bash in the camera. In fact, I finished the roll just the other day. I should get them developed and do some posting.

He's an annoying little rude ba3tard...

We've heard Hydey's side of the story, which I must say was decidedly unconvincing, when are we going to hear yours Deity?

So , thats common knowledge.

At least i turned up at the dinner, you live down the road compared to how far I drove but you could not make the effort.

I would rather be an annoying little rude ba3tard than a slow civ player.

Hydey · July 26, 2002, 05:16

I might not be around tonight, cricket function on with free beer.

The free beer may stop so I will come home .

for civ

Make sure you nail the mobile to something solid about your person.

Careful Hydey

I don't think "effort" was the problem and finbar and I , and our better halves, were really sorry he and Mrs Deity couldn't make it.

SuperSneak · July 26, 2002, 15:36

I can bash whoever I want to. Thanks to my questionable parentage, I'm as Australian as the next guy.

Too bloody right, cobber. Only an Australian would use "whoever" instead of "whomever".

Hydey · July 26, 2002, 19:19

Bore it up him Finny.

SuperSneak · July 26, 2002, 20:06

The funny thing is, I almost changed that, thought of your pleasure in correction and left it as it stood.
I could set my watch to you!
(Yeah, yeah....mixed metaphor).

Yeah yeah, the hoary old "I almost changed it but I thought I'd leave it there for you to delight in correcting" excuse.

You think I came down in the last averse?

Quote:

That's not a mixed metaphor. A mixed metaphor occurs when you combine two - or more - figurative expressions overlooking each expression's original context.

For example: "The mountain of paperwork winged its way to his door". A "mountain of paperwork" is a reasonable metaphor. As is something "winging its way" somewhere. Combined, it's nonsense. A mountain can't wing its way anywhere.
