'screw or two'... hm.. how about sixteen or seventeen?...

...or... Forty-three? One for every year?...

I've only got three brain cells all in a row to secure so a couple of screws is enough in my case

Default Life Lessons...

well not to toot my own horn (toot toot!) but I have THREE number 3's...so I'd need at least nine, nein? Did I tell you that I was a blonde in sheep's clothing? Wait a minute.. I'm mixing up my analogies now. Time to lay off of the recipe...


I'll be down to 3 brain cells soon...

I wish the movies were like that today, I only really watched movies like this when I was forced to with my mother at a young(er) age. I hated them then, but now as I'm a little older and can tolerate the "non HD semi-colored TV's" I really tend to enjoy them, the life lessons most come along with; films that could actually make you think and act differently, to aspire something to be great such as this clip from The Waltons.


Yep, but those Land Rovers, something else... a screw loose or two wouldn't be enough for someone to keep them. You'd have to have an electrical problem or two up in your brain; corroded brain terminals or possibly a loose connection or two, that would allow you to relate to the Land Rover's terrible electrical gremlins, and allow you to love even more

Hi Dane, now you're 'cooking on gas', the Waltons, great stuff, sadly, like many other programmes it disappeared in favour of todays mindless TV rubbish. I rarely watch TV now just the odd documentary or programme of serious interest, oh, and of course, MotoGP (Rossi ) and F1 but apart from that there's so much cr*p taken over our screens. As for French TV, well forget it, it's worse than UK TV and that's saying something. I'm off now to count my loose screws ................
