Good film for its time... watch it if you have the time...

[Boac]

To save time iaw BM's 'Nuggets', can you tell me whether she has a lovely bottom and if we would get to see it in the film?

[Wodrick]

Morning all,
Warm, 26 down from a high of 27 at 09.30.
Clear skies.

Had a lie in today, dogs not whining 'till 07,50 back at 09.00, must be a bit warm for them.

Waiting for the Plumber to ring, he promised. It's a breed thing isn't it if unreliable then plumber.

SM "can't possibly have a shower" ! I managed quite well, the solar panel got the water nicely warm.
700w/sqm on a 2sqm panel must do something to 100lt of water I would think.

still waiting WhatsApp in 15min.

She clearly does have a lovely bottom Boac but you have to imagine it. It is a charming old world film much admired at the time it was made...

The Farmer's Daughter - 1947 film

There are many other, not so wholesome, places on the tinterweb where other bottoms are to be seen, allegedly...

Morning.

It's Star Wars Day.....a change from Groundhog Day.

Been out for our alloted hour's walk.
Tis a tad warm.

[Rossian]

Re Pinky's disparaging remarks about farmers' daughters.
As these descriptions came from farming communities there were lots of refences to animals, reproduction eg
"good child bearing hips" , the remark attributed to Henry VIII ( if it wasn't him it should have been) " an arse to build a kingdom on", "she'd calve easily".
None of these remarks implied a lack of prettiness, although expressed in basic terms. Because, generally, farmers are not known for their "Wokeness".

The Ancient Mariner

A university pal was of that stock. His finest comment on seeing a curvaceous young lady was "Jeez, that'd keep yer balls off the thistles".

[ribrash]

Come on,own up.What,s happened to OFSO ?

[Wodrick]

Plumber eventually showed,re-did my diagnosis steps and pronounced boiler elephant.

At this point he would normally have driven to the supplier, got an element, returned and fitted it.
This he can't do in lockdown so he has to wait for one to be delivered, mañana he expects.

SM, who smells, has not showered for three days, and is loosing the will to live.

I knew a girl like that, once.

[Ex-Ascot]

Morning folks. Usual weather. Going into town. Already have our pass so no need to mess about at the Chief's office. Minimal shopping so shouldn't take long. Hate to think what our shopping list is going to look like after lock down.

Maybe that girl had been to Harvard and had swotted up on shower frequency;

Do I detect a whiff of early social-distancing?

[Ibbie]

Morning folks.

Another blue and sunny day. Presently 18c with a high of 26c expected.

Time to bring summer uniform out of storage me thinks.

All girls smell that we stink.

[Capetonian]

That Harvard article made some valid points. Most of us in cool/temperate climates probably bath/shower too much and it must have a detrimental effect on the skin drying out. People who don't habitually smell know when they do, and those who do habitually smell don't seem to realise it. I remember a chap who worked for me and I thought 'how doesn't his wife notice it and tell him' until I met her, she was a real stinker, worse than him.
I have spent much of my time in a place where we have severe water shortages and had to take very quick showers or just wash the bits.
As for people who spend half an hour in the shower, that's stupid, wasteful, and selfish. You don't get cleaner in 30 minutes than you do in 3 if you do it properly.

[Boac]

few Americans I have seen would be able to clean the whole surface in 3 - or 30, Cape

[Pontius Navigator]

Cape, I once visited an office staffed by about 8 civil service women and for some reason an RAF Corporal. I noticed the odd behaviour of the women when he moved around the office and he went near them. I asked what it was.

It was not so much he was smelly, they said, but rank (smell) and had lice in his hair.

I had a word with his boss. She had a separate office and never got that close.

[Fliegenmong]

Perhaps I shower too often then.....
