Oh, and the 'can camels go upstairs' question. I seem to remember hearing once that cows can go down stairs, but not up (or maybe the other way round). It was in relation to a (sad) news story where some pranksters had led a cow into someone's bedroom, and it was having to be destroyed as they couldn't get it out.

Maybe the camel should stay downstairs just to be on the safe side?

A darling friend saw I was struggling with no guitar, and bought me a new one. It is lovely, a sweet little Guild in tobacco burst. I love it every bit as much as that old Martin, more so perhaps as it was from someone I adore.
Giles has a lovely little face, doesn't he! I have sent the application in, and enquired about 'emotional support dog' status, so he can trail me around town. I can't wait to be able to make an appointment to go and meet him in 'person'.
Im working like crazy on the book, writing articles, generally trying to make a career. I haven't had a day off for 8 months, but feel so much better for taking control of things.
So, can't get a van to help me move, and the shelter is deciding to get all soap opera dramatic over the weekend! I try to avoid the drama, but fucking hell....It is actually hot here right now, and the city has collectively lost its mind.
Hello to Lang, the amazing shero that she is! I miss the Thighs, I am glad they are well, they always made me giggle.

I 'saw' one of the Thighs recently ... think it was on the platypus thread....yes...
If you have a look in here you can find one to DM. It's a nice thread too.Smile

Hello peeps! I am a Thigh, we fly undercover these days, we went underground in the end (due to haterz and cunts), but it's lovely to see you all again and is really nice that you've mentioned us!

Hope you're all good?

Hi all,

lovely that we are remembered. As said we now lead a troglodyte existence far from MN. We make our own fun there now

Hello Rufus!

We're very normal you know, when we're not having one of our episodes, it's just a case of catching us in between

In the 30 sec gaps between week long episodes 😀

@highame

I'm a high without the T and I have it on good authority that Thighs are the devils work

Excellent news Detroit

Really? I'm a long time lurker and name changer and thought they were just quite funny

Thigh-ing Undercover would make a great album name...just sayin'. Far from forgotten, lovely Thighs! Joy spreader is about right.

I'm doing fine, what's this about peeing in castles!? Was there chewing too? Grin

This is a great pub! Fabulous patrons.

Detroit we can do so many tricks, peeing, shitting and chewing ALL at the same time!

But that's about it and then we have a lie down. Completely puffed out!

I like this pub too, can I have a pint of wine please?

Hi all, not a regular visitor but pop in very occasionally. Detroit I’m delighted for you and hope you get your pup, I remember your story from when you were camping. Would you mind pming me details of your book? I’m in the US (originally UK) and live up a mountain so need regular reading material or I go nuts from the isolation (as much as I love it here)

I’m glad you are still about on MN incognito. I thought you might have decamped elsewhere altogether.

Counting down the days now! Moving in on Monday! I really can't wait. I walked past the apartment building today and was staring longingly into the windows. I just want to get in there now, and get out of here!
Tea anyone?

I think we were very wise to let the camel in, BTW. Otherwise the all-powerful CRA (Camels Rights Activist) lobby would accuse us of being CERFs and bigots for not allowing camels in everywhere, no questions asked, even if the camel doesn't actually look much like a camel.
