Frederick Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 This all brings back memories .......standing with other kids outside a house when the bride came out to go to church and her dad throwing handfuls of pennies for us kids to scramble for ....and if he did not "hoy oot " shouting "shabby wedding " ..........do it today somebody would be arrested for causing a breach of the peace . As for Penshaw Hill .....have sledged down that into the barbed wire fence at the bottom ...... on a sledge with runners made in the pit head workshops .... where most of the kids got them from . .

Cassis Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 We could see Penshaw Monument from me mam's house (we moved to Springfield, near Washington, from Blaydon in 1970) and I always thought the hill looked good for sledging! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 The pub was The Albion, the drink was Double Maxim. The headache was epic...Especially the lock-in the night before the 1973 Cup Semi-Final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I have no recollection of any important events in 1973. You might have to speak to Jude about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I onli spek gud English, with a very posh aksent.Sorry but I thought this thread was about worms. If I go off topic my knuts get chewd orf.We get some huge worms in our garden, about 18 inches long. They are wonderful things and how they ever get through the reinforced ground we have beats me. Long may they be with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Yes - they seem to have the ability to burrow through concrete (such is the consistency of parts of our ground in summer, like yours). For something that's soft and wriggly like a piece of wet spaghetti it's pretty impressive going.I think as long as we go off topic when the teacher's not looking and come back on again when she is, then we can get away with it in short bursts.

mooky Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 I'm too frightened to ask about the big slug I have found incase it starts you daft bxxxxxs off again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Sorry, Mooky! Jude and I went for a (rare) walk in the forest on Sunday and on top of a recently cut tree stump were two of the most enormous slugs I have ever seen. They were a tan colour, one about 6 inches long, the other 4 inches. Probably not record beaters but certainly big enough to give you a good fight if you took them on. I guess they were interested in the sap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooky Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 I like your funny bits in this post? I don't know what your'e all on, but it cheered me up.I raked up a big catterpillar today? I thought it was a slu but no it's a catterpillar: It is about 4" long when not moving about 6 when. Brown and fawn, with a spikey black horn on its bottom. I took a photo on my digi but I don't know how to post them on here.I keep seeing 'big things' in my garden!!!!I would love to know what it is.

Cassis Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Do you live in Brobdignag, by any chance? That's a phenomenal size for a caterpillar!

chris pp Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 That's nice, I hope you put it back where it came from, looks just about ready to pupate.I reckon it's a convolvulus hawk moth, any other ideas??Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 That's the blighter you identified for me on our barn door a few weeks back, isn't it? You never told me the caterpillar was such a beefy beggar! No, I correct myself - that was an eyed hawk moth[img]http://www.biopix.dk/Temp/Smerinthus%20ocellata%2000002.JPG[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
