So much for the power of advertising; I still can't tell on bland from another :-(

One of my grandchildren made himself a ball from rubber blands. :-D

He even picked up the blands left on the drive by the postie. :-D

Footballr was originally a game played over a mile of a village street with a ball made from a pigs blander. ...

As Sue Cash put it - " they crashed through the wall and into the street, kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer"

Old traditions die hard and and Australian Rules Football does its best to keep them bland (not).

Bit like Shrove Tuesday traditional football, then Rollo?

Funny you should mention a pigs blander 'cos the very same grandson was asking me about that this week. I was able to tell him that I was around when footballs had a rubber interior ball that had to be inflated. My brothers played with them.

He probably looks at all of us with amazement that we are so ancient. :-0

It's blandingly obvious that I never got beyond 18. :-S

(In spirit that is.)

I remember those footballs, JoyLousie.

Ah the joy of school sports in the middle of winter wearing nothing but football strip, freezing cold, and the ball, which was heavy enough on its own, getting covered in mud and weighing twice as much. :-| :-|

Oh no is this going to be allowed to slowly bland away to nothing...surely not......

NOOOOO Caroline. This will go out with a bland :-0

who do you think will win the Japanese GP tomorrow?

Hamilberg?
or
Rosberton

(I blanded those two names because the originals are getting bla....boring..)

Sorry, folks, I've just been recovering from a bit of a shock since Friday :-(

A while ago the air-con and heater in the car packed up. Car was due for a service so I booked it into a local garage that also advertised repairs to air condition units.

Picked the car up air-con still not working.

I was told by staff that they could not isolate the fault and I'd have to take it to an auto electrician.

Sounded very expensive so I delayed booking the car in anywhere until last Thursday when I went into Bunbury. The day was wet and cold and with no air con or heater the car quickly misted up. (It was a good job I was mobile and not parked up anywhere ;-) :-D :-D)

I was so fed up of having to clear the windscreen that I diverted from my original object in Town and went straight round to an auto electrician to book the car in.

Took it in 8.00am Friday morning and got a call at 10.00am. I sat down expecting the worst when I was cheerfully told that the car was ready for collection.

The main fuse had cracked and broken. It was difficult to spot and even the technician missed it at first :-S

Upshot was that it cost me $82.50, when I was expecting at least a few hundred dollars.

Mind you the car is over ten years old. I've had it from new but don't really want to part with it as it does the job of running me about. We also use it for carting all the smelly garden stuff rather than using OH's rather more modern car for that purpose :-D :-D

Fuse boxes on PSA group cars are very liable to corrosion, and wet damage.....
they seem to corrode on the underside where you cant easily see, and also the pins on the various relays and plugs deteriorate rapidly

Hmm! I wonder if they played with balls with internal bladders?

No Allan, they played with balls with internal blanders. Did your machine blandy well use its own mind then? :-|

wouldn't call it actually "playing"

they just blandered (blundered) about.............

In the kingdom of the bland the one-eyed man is king

Keep well away from the blander-buss

Well, what an indignity!

I found this thread blandguishing on the bottom of page two :-|

It is indeed an indignity.

How dare we blanders do that! :-0

Strike up the bland again, Allan. :-D
