I was ordering a burger and asked the girl at the counter if I could have it with cheese and bacon. She looked at me a bit odd, then called her manager, then whispered to him, then he whispered back and then she said "sorry, we don't have bacon". I forgot that bacon is a dirty word in Muslim Malaysia! But to be honest, I didn't actually want pig bacon, they have a very good beef or turkey bacon here. She must have thought I was really ignorant. I tried to explain to her about the beef and turkey bacon but she wasn't really understanding me. Vincent and I were having a good laugh about it at breakfast again this morning, we wondered where the beef-bacon comes from and I said: from beef-pigs of course!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15061935263412550072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-89572921913804930542007-11-08T16:49:00.000+00:002007-11-08T16:49:00.000+00:00LoneGrey: they are extremely entertaining... still...<STRONG>LoneGrey:</STRONG> they are extremely entertaining... still as entertaining today as the day I got them ... definite £22.50's worth!<BR/><BR/><STRONG>Liz:</STRONG> actually I had this daydream of going into politics but I wouldn't know what party to join?

They're harmless, the most damage they'll do is to the garden. As for their noise, I think it is made by them doing something with their wings, but don't quote me on that. And their noise is not like the normal cicada sound, it's very high pitched, electronic sounding and if there are lots of them as there are here, it actually hurts your ears.Puss-in-Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313418336654760327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-2890263170803939052007-11-08T09:13:00.000+00:002007-11-08T09:13:00.000+00:00Hi Gleds ~~ Well done giving the hammies a new ho...Hi Gleds ~~ Well done giving the hammies a new home.

Geeze, I guess I am just speaking for myself, because when I was growing up, I ONLY cared about consequences. My actions had nothing to do with a sense of right or wrong, but rather, the likely hood of getting caught. Later my conscience began to form and my actions were molded more from this development, than from any fear I might have from the consequences of bad behaviour.<BR/><BR/>No responsibility until 16!

Yes, total agreement with you. All those books we read as kids were full of what would happen to the naughty children, nothing nice. Being unruly at school would have the teacher throw something at you or the deputy head would make good use of the table tennis bat ..... every kid knew there would be consequences for their actions and kids learn quickly. They learn how to manipulate wishy washy parenting. Recently one of our local radio ladies was saying she believed the traditional fairy tale books were too frightening for little children ....

I love Annie's blog (Bimbimie) and go there most days to see what new and fun things are happening in her backyard. <BR/><BR/>Our magpies are definitely the smaller variety like yours and also are not so extensive with their white markings. <BR/><BR/>The windmill is at the Altamont Pass which is about 40 minutes from my town. Cars pass through the Altamont when they are driving from the valley into the Bay Area and San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose, etc. Big wind farm with hundreds of windmills.
