Shirlz, I have decided that somewhere in our orphanage family history we have been seperated....

I thought the same thing..... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

And I even had very clear visuals of two butch girls setting up camp in a whitewashed country cottage with chooks and what not and the countryside all a-mutter....

Every time I read his posts, I thought "You GO GIRLS!"

No, The Radiators! :mrgreen:

A New Orleans funk, blue rock'n'roll outfit that's been around for 25 years or so, and still goes 200 gigs a year! The guitarist is Camile Baudoin. Very, very rockin' music.

Oh, and for boots and the other Aussies - not the Australian band of the same name (who are pretty good too).

Poor Camile! I knew you were a bloke.

You have to realise that in France a lot of men have girlie names. Like Dominique de Villepin, the Prime Minister! :mrgreen:

The grumpy old git (man) next door is called Danielle. :lol: :lol: :lol: Well maybe it's spelt Daniel but pronounced the girlie way!

oops .. so everyone things I'm a girl then :oops: ! thank you lads ..

Camile is my nickname (even my parents calls me like that) .. everyone knows me as Camile in France ..

and you would pronounce it like Ca-mill ..

and it would have been girly if it was Camille ... but with 1 L it's the masculine version ..

you can call me Jeremy if that avoids any confusions !

and indeed in France we have the masculine and feminine version of names .. usualy pronounced the same way .. with a L missing .. or an E at the end ...

and this was my avatar for a while:

I thought that would I gave a hint ..

sorry for the confusion ... you made me feel bad now ..

and I'm sure you would have had the tales of the 2 girlies living in a cottage in rural ireland ..

somehow I don't think the neighbours would like us as they do now ..

Oh Camile or Jeremy, most manly of men, I'm so sorry for my genuine mistake!!

Please don't feel bad.. it's my ignorance of the french masculine and feminine that is at fault... Great photo - I will never make that mistake again!!

M3 - you aren't living next door to my ex boss are you? He was danielle (spelt Daniel)

Stoney - I'll have to Napster The Radiators and see what I can download!!

Boots - we'll have to get together then sometime and talk about our missed joint upbringing ;)

At least we all know now - Camile is a Mr!!

I remember the house... but I don't remember the bloke in it AT ALL! You sure that is the same pic?? :mrgreen:

Don't feel bad Camile. I don't think I've laughed so hard at myself in ages. Tis good for the soul.






Oh, and Muddy - it's nearly as kinky as this.

Is he a grumpy miserable old sod? Then probably yes!

Back to who is male and who is female, I thought Boots was a bloke at first! And Shiney! And Nick, but I think that's understandable. :lol:

Nev,

lets think laterally here. For the last 30 years Mrs W obviously didn't think it made you look old. Now there is a bit of grey she does.

So.....what about a quick trim and on with the zebo fire black!.

Have you thought about a restyle I think a 3 musketeers look/cardinal Richelieu would be great!

You could combine this with Boot's idea, and go Billy Connolly, he's dyed his goatee/tash purple.

Perhaps you could go Green!.
It's not easy being Cheezy
So you know how great Salsify is as a veg, what about Cavero Nero,great leaves all through the winter , then in Spring sprouting broccolli like flowers! Takes up half as much room as broccolli
