Odems,
I don't get it. Could you please explain for me?

Hint: Where is the hat perched?

This topic seems to be going the way of that music thread........way over my head.
I have come to the conclusion that you guys up there on the other side of the globe talk in some sort of EEC code!

It's a play on words: 'Me cap' instead of 'kneecap'

And that has to do with........?????

Please excuse my ignorance!

'kneecap'/'mecap' - is humour - right? I will need you guys to teach me some more of this stuff so I can bamboozle everyone down here!

Thank God for that!

Ormond - a cap (hat) on his knee - hence a 'knee - cap"

Admit it - now it's been explained you are rolling about on the floor laughing - aren't you?

Oh yeah, there's a huge puddle on the floor now!!!

I finally get that part, but now I have no clue as to what this side splitting quip relates to, in this thread?

You can never find a dentist when you need one...

Let's recap on that knee cap.

Maybe it should go on ahead.

Aaaaaanyway - my grandmother's farm (no longer) in Mid Wales, where we used to spend the whole summer holidays - it was different then - huge kitchen garden and orchard now flattened. She and most around there were almost totally self-sufficient.

My mother's great aunt Matilda had a huge wart on her nose! Three wombats lived in it, rushing out to take a bite of whatever she was eating at every opportunity! I think those bloody wombats were actually the illegitimate offspring of the two papier mache donkeys that ran around in circles all day in her glass ashtray! I told you about the donkeys before! I'll never know how those donkeys had time to procreate anyway. 24 hours a day they just ran and ran and ran, never even slowing down for a toilet break. I suppose they though if they stopped running the papier mache duck in the corner would bite their legs off!

Sorry, I just couldn't help myself....got carried away.....must be the cold!

Halcyon days, John!

What a truly beautiful place: about as idyllic as it gets!

The cap goes where I go tripping.......

Advantage Odems!!!

Judging by tonight's posts, it's Ormond doing the tripping!!!

Do you grow birds of paradise in your garden?

Nah! that bird of paradise in the pic is my wife.
sorry Áine had to do that. yes they do grow in a couple of places in the garden. Slow growers but they propogate fairly well so we move some every now and again. As for the rest, plants is plants I plant what looks good and to 'ell with the name.

Odems, I just got the mecap joke. I thought you had a towel over your head. It's all clear to me now.

The Montgomery canal borders 'the bottom field' - but in those days it was totally overgrown - reeds, lilies.



It was made un-navigable after the war - the hump backed bridges were causing problems with increasing traffic speed and there was no money to replace them with bridges with gentler approaches, so they knocked them all down, well, the ones taking the main roads, and simply piped the canal under the road. Like here at the Nags head Inn at Garthmyl (not my photo) ............



....... where, one day in 1940-something, a guy with a crane swinging an iron ball was swiping away at the hump backed bridge there.

One more swipe would probably do it - then he saw a pretty young woman on the far bank and invited her to be the last person to ever cross that bridge - she tottered over what was left and then he took it out.

That's how my parents met!

Come on guys, stop teasing poor Ormond.

We all know that what Odems is telling us is that he drives a taxi.

It is plain to see that it is a hat on the knee, and not a cap.

Hat-knee > hack-knee > hack-ney > Hackney

Hackney cab > taxi.
