    What to say about this one? :)
    Now as a boy-scout, we were told to “Be prepared”.
    So I would have thought it better to get that brolly up, before it started to rain. :)
    After all we don’t put on sun cream after we have got sun-burnt. :o

      I did hesitate about the comment because I didn’t agree with it, but then I thought it would lead to a discussion on the idea. Oh and it was just perfect for the demo I was involved in today not least because of the weather!

    ah yes but……
    I have a photograph of an Arab holding aloft a black ‘city gent’ umbrella to shield him from the sun as he walked along a dusty road in Dubai.
    :)

    It’s probably not going to avail much for the lambs to protest about being eaten while the wolf is of a different opinion.

    Last answer (so far) is what could change a lot.
    Not that I don’t like wolves.
    Which is why I’d (try to) not use the names of animals when it comes to name evil human beings eveil human beings.
    Sometimes I’d call such evil human beings bucking fastards; i.e. when thinking of that calling them fucking bastards might be considered one step backwards on my quest to become the politest bloggers in this universe and those yet to discover.

    • CherryPie says:

      I much prefer your description of evil although I am too ladylike to use it myself ;-)

      I am actually rather fond of wolves (the animal that is) :-)

    I love the quote, Cherie…nor crossing the bridge before you get there! Nor needing the ticket till the train arrives. And so on and so forth! :)
