For that... you get a clap, strangely  confused:

I have this vivid image of the dress code being swimming trunks... wellington boots... and a golf umbrella  eeek:

All this remind me of the time in 1979 when I found myself in a fully air conditioned luxury American Airstream trailer in the Saudi desert - 500 miles from anywhere at all!    sad24:

I read "Watership Down" there!   Not because I wanted to,  but it was the first (and only) bit of English prose I had come across in a long and very boring posting,  it turned out to be a half-decent book! - Or was I easily satisfied then?

You heard about the blonde who planted 40 watt bulbs all over her lawn?
Said she wanted to make light work of the gardening.  drumroll:
