After that I made sure the pouch was on a section that wouldn't come loose by mistake. -- Jeremy C B Nicoll - my opinions are my own. Email sent to my from-address will be deleted.

JGH Or who's shoes are not already brown... Squat bogs in Chinese trains scare me with all the rattling around... The worst one in the world was at the Chinese Opera in Beijing. It was a strip of concrete with a hole every few feet and a liberal scattering of turds. I suddenly lost the desire to go. Nope, the worst in the world are in India where you dont even get walls at all, you get to **** on open ground in full view of everyone. I bet the Indians laughed at you almost as much as the members of uk.d-i-y -- geoff |

That didn't bother me as much as the corrosion around the hole in the floor, the corroded away chute and seeing the track ballast whizzing past... It is a valid point about getting old though. Balance, is just that we always have chairs or similar when we don't want to stand. Resting squatted down is not something we do and we are generally more portly than is really good for us. -- Cheers Dave. |
