Unfortunately not buddy

I'd been contemplating on joining a band a few times before, but there aren't too many (If any) bands that play any amount of delta blues, since most of the guitar playing I do is with a slide

I used to do a lot of sea fishing many years ago,we go miles across the country looking and trying hot spots as told in magazines.My all time favourite used to be chessil beach in the dorset area,we had some cracking cod in the winter months and used to fish fishing contests which used to be there on a regular basis.Sometimes lucky and sometimes not,i had some looks though as i would give it all i had when casting and how i never severed the line with my gigantic cigar hanging out of my mouth i would never know,im sure the chaps who were in the contest were taking bets on whether i would burn my line when i casted out as they all stared as i got up either to retreave the line or cast out ,lol.naaaaaaa not me as i had a slight grin on my face as i knew what they were thinking,lol.

Hi Smokiejoe,

Long story...apols in advance...and I'm still not sure whether it's funny or not...but here goes:

About 12/13 years ago, when my youngest daughter was about 10, she and a friend went for a walk with our black lab-type mongrel called Phoebe. They went to Arthur's Seat in Holyrood Park in Edinburgh, not far from where we lived at the time. If you know the park, it has some big hills and cliffs in it. Anyway, they took a path that some clever dick had removed the "No entrance" sign from...and it led them across the top of a very crumbly set of cliffs. My daughters friend lost a shoe down the cliff (how, I don't know!), and went to get it..and got stuck. My daughter went down to help her and got stuck herself. They screamed and shouted and a guy heard, clambered up to them and made sure they didn't fall off...but couldn't actually get them down.

First I heard of it was a phone call from the Park police (it has it's own force!). I ran up to the park in a panic, only to see a huge crowd, 2 fire engines and a fire tender, 3 police cars and a Mountain Rescue van. I almost s*at myself!

The mountain rescue guys were in the process of getting them down. When my daughter was rescued, and safe and sound, one of the Rescue guys came up to me and asked me if it was my dog. I said yes, not knowing what to expect. "You got a really good dog there" he said. Apparently, the dog never left the girls at all, and went down to where they were and stayed right by them. The guy then said the only problem was that they had to cut away a lot of gorse and other bushes to get to where the girls were stuck...and every time they threw the sticks away, Phoebe would go and retrieve them and bring them back, wagging her tail!! A great game for her, but not really what you want when you are trying to rescue two very upset and in danger kids!

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry! Still don't really...kids and dogs, a lethal combo, probably shortened my life expectancy by some years!

[cohibaIV]

LOL,labradors are nice we had two dogs one was a springer and other was a red setter,we had to get rid of the red setter because he was so camp,he had a thing for the springers backside,he wouldnt stop trying to ride him,so had to go as it was starting to be a joke as we couldnt stop him, and everytime the setter came near him the springer would try and weld his ass to the floor.i dunno dogs eh,,of coarse it was the springer who ate my lamb joint and pork chops by the way.
