Last Person to Win?

[_Lynn_]

Who was the guy that started the original Last thread?

His AV was a rubber duck as I remember.

I think the duck might have changed his AV.

 

[TxRad]

He was a sandhog from NY. His last AV was a devil duck.

That reminds me of the former Mrs HP

Happy memories I trust, HP

Happy memories I trust, HP

That may depend upon which of the former 'Mrs HP' is referred to.
I managed more that 20 years with the middle one (God bless her memory),
The most recent one (20 odd years ago) was a Big Mistake and cost me a $$ lot.

But it is very warm tonight (+30C) (and this at 9pm local).
What I really need is a mug of good Tea.

I am pleased to hear that one of them turned out well, HP. And, yes, tea can be rather refreshing on a warm evening.

#Warm does not describe it adequately, I fear.
Effin' 'ot comes close, though.

The sweet sounds of the birds singing is rudely interrupted by the trash man coming through to pick up the trash ...

The truck drives through here as early as 3AM sometimes.

 

[TxRad]

The trucks arround here don't seem to bother the birds one way or the other. Now, the logging truck that comes out of the subdivision across the street between 4 AM and 6 AM wakes me up a lot of mornings.

Our Rubbish-emptying lorries are fairly quiet, thank Heaven.

 

[Rustyoznail]

Ours are around 9am. Good for those stormy nights that blow bins over.

It's the obnoxious Beep -- Beep -- Beep of the backup warning that really makes it annoying ... since I live in a cul-de-sac ...

I thought that it was the Little Nash Rambler that went 'Beep. beep, beep' - but perhaps I'm showing my age

 

[TxRad]

An old favorite for sure.

 

[Handley_Page]

'Beep Beep'
It raised a of of smiles when it came out over here.

You and me, both, Sam ...

 

[Handley_Page]

The version recorded in England, had, I think, a "Little Bubble Car".
But it was fun !

Anyone tired of summer yet?

 

[Rustyoznail]

Tired of winter...

 

[Handley_Page]

Anyone tired of summer yet?

Well, Summer round here lasted all of 4 days, so we hardly had time to register it.
With luck, Winter's too far away for now.

But we have sunshine and a cool breeze.
All I need now is a nice drink.

We keep getting days with temps near 100. Then a few days later it drops to 70, which I would be happy with all summer. I'm going to have to put the AC on if those hot humid days stick around.

Those temperatures are, I suspect, awaiting us.

Back in the good old days, once Wimbledon got underway you rely on a spell of cold wet weather.

Either that or Very Hot, with heavy intermittent showers, as I recall.
