Crikey Dick - Foot Rot Flats...

.

"Crikey Dick's Mate!" is right Ms Rat, you know my stuff better than I do!  Think I'm a bad egg when it comes to hijacking.  Have to work on self-dicipline there.  I'm sposed to be running out the door any min but here until me Mammy says "we ride!"    

Yes, I forgot about the Australian Shepherd.  I met one once, very lovely dog and not a bone of cunning in him.  Totally loyal to his person though.  

All about the food!  That's the way isn't it.  We had a fox terrier who had really bad portion distortion issues.  Would go into the swamp and hunt the pukeko's (swamp hen), eat their eggs.  Also help herself whatever she could find, dig it out of the compost heap  -  offer her a slice of cucumber and she say "are you kidding me?" but if she found it in the compost she's make off with it like it was some kind of treat that no one else could possibly understand.  Same with banana.  

My dad killed a lot of the Australasian possums (they need culling, they are decimating the native bush there), cut their legs off for pet food and the body would go into the ground for the fruit trees.  Oh my goodness, if he didn't bury it straight away the dogs would get into the guts and there'd be entrails all over the lawn (no bears to worry about) and they'd eat the contents of the guts cause that's where the greens would be, already partially digested so excellent way to get your greens if you're a dog  -  but heck, the farts!  potent beyond your imagination.  Poor dog.  needed a visit with Jenny Craig.   That appetite she had probably gave her kidney issues  -  all the rotten offal the neighboring farmers would occasionally not bury  -  she found it.   Eventually we got a grip on her eating habits. Can never really blame the dog, we are the stewards after all.

I used to smoke Makins.  Half the fun was the 'makin of them   Bad bad bad.  but I loved loved loved it!  until I didn't.  

So Tara is that a scan from your own comic book or did you find it on the net?   So impressed you know about it!  Wish I had some.  One of my fav characters is the magpie, Pew.   So funny.  Might ask my sister to send me some comics over if she can find them.  Not made any more but perhaps can find some remakes.  Or ebay.  Will take a look.

My husband likes  Speights.  He drank it before I liked beer  -  I'm real fussy about it.  Gosh, small world.  Would have to go to a specialty booze shop for that I guess.  We NZers seem to have a way of making ourselves at home wherever we go.  When I was in London once went to a pub that was called The Slug and Lettuce.  A NZer pub, Steinlager boxes on the pavement outside.  

I like oilskins too.  If you look after em well they will last a life time.  My only gripe with them is that they are so heavy.  

Got to scoot, deliver my Mum down the road.  Thanks Tara, nice sharing a good cooeeeee with you  .
