Topic: POW 116: Pairs

Thanks briggl... I felt bad missing last weeks topic but i just didn't have anything to work with

I've tried to open things out a bit with this weeks topic, so have at it... anything remotely to do with "pairs"

I'm sure everyone knows where to find the rules by now but jic:

Just came back from California...

My first pair here
and my second here
Unfortunately, my friends dog wouldn't stand still long enough for me to get a third photo of a pair.
Blaise that carpet reminds me of all the generic carpets I have seen in various student union bars and communal areas. Would I make a good CSI or am I off target? Oh, hang on they look a bit like bowling shoes, or is that fashion?

Definitely not the fashion...

I was chuffed I had the blue suede ones though

I went bowling with some friends in one of the old Americana style bowling lanes in Bloomsbury, London.

We used to call these types "Bumpers"

Everyone happy to leave this topic rollin' for a while

Me, for one, veeeery busy... got a few photos, but any spare computer time has been spent fighting with Norton 360... it's gone to the bin now... oh joy... what's a $100 anyway

I suppose it's a bit late to help you now Ian But for years now I have only used free anti-virus software and so far afaik I've been clean as a whistle. My collection of anti-nasties are AVG for anti-virus. AD Aware 2007 for known data-mining, advertising, and tracking components, SpyBot S&D to detect and remove a multitude of adware files and modules as well as data mining.
There are a few more that are worth a look too, but be wary. I once downloaded what looked to be a good AV software and it itself turned out to be a Trojan, sorry can't remember the name now. That's why I've just linked to "Download dot com" as I trust them.

Thanks Tao... you're on it

Ad Aware I always run and I just installed AVG... very happy now... I think I'm done with pay-for forever!

Somebody had to do it.

You big tease

Weell finally

I've been sweating on this pair... even longer than Tao sweated on his tits; I reckon.

I picked the topic when two pairs of birds started nesting near our waterfront. It's been a long and harrowing pregnancy for them, as our waterfront is undergoing a $AU 1.2 bill rehash.

Without further ado I give you a pair...... and raise ya one

That's right it must be spring down in Aus' because we are in the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness here in Blighty, what a beautiful world. What are they Ian? Let me guess, ermmmmmmmmm Kookaboroughs?

They're weird critturs these ones: Stone Curlews


NB Ta make it a bit weirder, these are bush stone curlews living at the beach... beach stone curlews are very different.

I guess... now that I got the photo I waz waiting for, it would be safe ta call for a new topic... but any more pairs would be much appreciated.

It seems appropriate, in an Asylum, that the timing of threads should be dictated by two birds sitting on a few sticks


Blaise, you haven't had a pick for about a year how about it?

Thanks for the info' Ian, I'm always interested in these things.
The Curlew here in England has a beautiful song especially early morning and evening. It's an enduring memory I wish to revisit soon, walking on the beach in the early evening listening to the Curlew song with it's primeval, haunting echoes.

Ok, I'll pick a new topic!
