Rodney you comforted us and put into words what we all wanted to say, and said it so well. I've also been comforted by some curly covered brackets in the past

Not a lot of it in the bottle shops here, most goes for export. We have become a bit fussy here in what we drink.

I had a good laugh at your post m8, I was in a supermarket the other day i always get drawn to the booze section cant for the life of me explain why
As we walked to the checkout my wife asked me was that girl holding a big finger on a pole which read this Que please a girl who lived around the corner from us, OH yes i said she had words with me the other week after her cat attacked me after ambushing me on the road in her hedge clawed the bloody ears of me, So i clawed it back with my size 10 boots. As we entered the checkout she recognised me she must have been on one of those job creation schemes. So i asked her { WHO ARE YOU POINTING THE FINGURE AT} Revenge is sweet Regards Terry.

Hi All.
After reading all the bad reports on Dr Penfolds cream of life, the ( ) stuff I was weaned on as a deckboy on the Aussie coast in the early 50s, I have come to the conclusion that the wrong { }was being used to conclude that it was [] plonk. I'll have you know that at the time it was the dearest drop I could afford, and even my cabin mate used to put some water in the empty bottle to see if he could wet his lips on the necter.
Now of course everyone and his dog like Camilla simply puts the Penfold out of our price range once again, as of course it always was, I could as a deck boy only afford one bottle at a time, thank God.
Cheers Des

Thinking about curly brackets brought to mind some other curly bits, mainly curly hair.
There are three kinds of hair, the very straight stuff. Left long and cut with a fringe looks like the cinema curtains.
Then we have the ocean hair, the very wavy stuff that often went it's own way much like the waves on the ocean.
Then we have the curly hair. Now the only ones who have this are the ones who did as mum and dad said and ate the crusts.
