Congratulations to you both :-bd

Mrs T does not need anything with rubies in - she has you and your a "Gem"

(sycophantic outburst over.  Normal p**s taking will resume shortly)  :D

Well you have to admire her perseverance if nothing else.


Congratulations to you both. That's a ruby anniversary.



Interestingly,  on 3rd July 1976, the Supreme Court of the United States rules that the death penalty is not inherently cruel or unusual and is a constitutionally acceptable form of punishment.

Congratulations to you and Mrs T from me also, Phil.   <:-P

Of course, such an auspicious occasion is not only a reason to celebrate but, for us guys, a time of angst. How should we celebrate? What gift will I buy her? How much will I spend, etc.?  :-\

Well, don't worry, I'm sure all of your chums here on the forum will come up with something that will ensure many more years of wedded bliss and future happiness.

For example, for tonight's celebration, how about watching the France vs. Iceland game? And by way of a special anniversary gift, how about that Dyson vacuum cleaner you've always promised her?   :)

Do you really want Techno to spend tonight in A&E waiting for them to remove the said gift including the "motorised" head from his nether regions

Congratulations Phil ... and Mrs Phil too!

My parents celebrate their 65th anniversary next Thursday.

My wife and I have been married 38 years this August ... of course, we haven't lived together for almost a decade now. #secretofahappymarriage :)

Thanks, Gang !  :)

And for the chuckles.  ;D ;D ;D

Cheers - Phil (We had a celebratory 'going around a couple of the fields pulling up small bits of ragwort, this morning'... ;))

On reflection, the Dyson does suck ......

..... but at least he'll get to see old friends.

:P

Post by: Techno on 03 July 2016, 01:15:20 PM
PAH !! They're no friends of mine.  :P

Dysons ?

The first one we bought, made me finally realise I really was getting old.....Because I was actually impressed with a vacuum cleaner.
Not a new pair of speakers, a new amp or a graphic equalizer.
A sodding vacuum cleaner.
Sad, or what ? :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Cheers - The Ancient One.

Well it's Techno, so he has a really, really globally evil idea, then gets distracted by a) horses, b) the MIL or c) little men.

"... so, that way I can bring down the global value of gold bringing about the destruction of the capitalist system and ... oooh! Better finish off the goblin's with mouths full for the Dark Lord first."

"... so nobody will ever drink alcohol again. Must dust off my evil laugh. Mwah-ha-ha. Used to be better than that ... oooh! Must go and look at a horse's foot. Can't remember why ... better check them all, just in case."

"... and so Donald Trump becomes President! That's a good one. What's that Mrs T? The MIL has escaped again? Well use the lasso! She's had her Weetabix and now she's too fast! OK, I'll come right away."

Sadly.......A tortoise can move faster than the MIL...... X_X

She can barely move a yard per second......If that.  :(

What worries me is that is the only thing you picked up on. 

The rest apparently is plausible.  :-\

I didn't want to be too picky.  :P

I was listening to John Finnemore's radio program the other day, and he described in graphic detail the horrors of a tortoise stampede.


BTW, that evil laugh is coming on a treat.
