Hand on heart – looks like he’s been chewing Beetle Nuts … and that’s a mean looking sausage … full of saltpeter? Dangerous stuff in more ways than one. My cousin got shot with a blast of it once, when pinching a pomegranate, the dear old lady owner would sell them for threepence if you asked for one and used a “saltpeter gun” on kids who reached over her fence. Ah, thems were the days.
Blimey!!
I’m alright Jack! 😉
Hopefully there was not the same outcome for this soldier as there was for a POW on SS Ivernia in 1915.
Meiser died after eating a sausage sent by his relatives in Germany.
It took some time for it to arrive and Meiser died from ptomaine poisoning.
That’s most unfortunate.
I have everything I need thankyou hope you are doing ok!!!!
Who’s saying that to whom……?
The woman of course – with her piece of cheese and memories.
Nick: How did you add an emoticon?
the old fashioned way, semicolon dash bracket
This marvel of modern wizardry converts it automatically 😉
Was that sarcasm Sid the man to her of course look at his booty
Oh my emojis didn’t appear in the text kinda loses the effect…..sorry
Margaret – No no no – just my observation of the top right corner lady.
Nick – thank you – I’ll have to look up short cuts (?) and try them – here’s trial using yours 😉
Yay ….. it worked – Thank you Nick 🙂
Well done Sid learning new things every day. I’ll shall have to ask son how that works the old fashioned way.
